blood, or similar animal matter, is mixed with it, for 
the purpose of clarifying the liquid. When it is suffi- 
ciently concentrated and purified, the syrup is convey- 
ed to coolers, where the sugar crystallizes, and the 
molasses separate. The. sugar is then carried to the 
hogsheads in the curing-house, the bottoms of which 
are perforated that the molasses may drain off into a 
cistern below ; and when the sugar is sufficiently dry, 
it is brought to market under the name of muscovado, 
or ratv sugar . 
To this order also belong those plants which come 
under the denomination of cerealia, or those which 
produce corn, such as wheat, barley, rye, and oats ; 
one species of which has been already mentioned.
