It Will have.. ho effect on the quantity of sugar obtained, but will make a lighter colored molasses.;J: the aid of a mechanical feeder, while water passes in at the top of the cylinder, and in passing down becomes more and more charged with sugar, until it issues from below, carrying with it almost the whole of the sugar from the cane. In this way it is claimed 94 per cent. of all the sugar in the cane is obtained, or 24 per cent. more than that obtained by an average good mill. This difference would constiute an immense profit in a large establishment. The juice is, moreover, perfectly clear, containing but small quantities of chlorophyl and other vegetable matter, which occur so abundantly in juice expressed by the mill. A lutter sirup and a larger yield of sugar is the result. CANE FOR SIRUP MAKING. For the making of sirup exclusively some experiments were made with the Early Amber, Early Orange, and Honduras. Three plots were planted, one with each variety, in close proximity to each other. They received the same amount of cultivation, and the comparative results are, we believe, as fair as they can possibly be made. Theplots were each one-fifth of an acre; and for convenience sake, the results in the following table are calculated to one acre: There was no marked difference in the quality of these different kinds of sirup, and it would certainly repay the cane growers to try the Honduras as a sirup-producing cane. One great obstacle, however, is that the seed would have to be imported from more southern localities every season, as the seed hardly reaches beyond the milk stage before frost may be expected.
