The SPRINGFIELD SUGAR MLL-The Illinois
Farmer, OF the lst inst, makes the following
reference to the operations of the mill for .he
manufacture OF the sugar cane lately set up near
Springfield
II Is now Running day and night, giving EN-
pleymen' to two sets of hands. IL wilt turn
out from POO to 300 gallons per day. No at
tempts have yet been made to make sugar The
cano does not show as high a per cent. OF sac
charine as last year-when it reached ten per
cent. Lots OF ripe cane now average but seven
per cent. The difference, no doubt. was caused
by the peculiar character of the last season
the ground, during two thirds Of it, being satu-
rated with water.
The correctness of the closing remark in the
above quotation is proved BY the fact that upon
the dry prsiries OF Schuyler County the cane is
quite as good as it was last year.
