From the above analysis it will be notieed— 
Ist. That е top joints contain по cane-sugar in November when 
nearl 
2nd. That glucose i is invariably present, =. highest in September 
in the top joints, and lowest in Nov mber in the bottom joints, 
i.e., when the cane is about ide e. 
3rd. The top joints contain about 10 per cent, more water than the 
bottom ones, and this ratio does not appear to alter during 
ripening. 
4th. The amount of water present is from 8 to 11 per cent. more in 
July than in November. 
Analyses of cane-juice at different periods gave the following
