Process Of Mtlting Sugar.
When the seeds of the sorgho are at
least three fourths ripe, or if in cold
climate, when hard frcst has come, cut
your canes just above the ground, strip
off the leaves and seed heads, and cut
each cane into two parts, separating the
eight lower joints from the upper ones,
Lay aside the upper joints, which con-
tain little sugar, but viii make good mo.
lasses. ...
Pass the lower joints through the roller
twice; let the juce flow into the tubs |
and ?. When about twenty gallons of
juice are ready, put into enc of the ket-
ties, which we will call kettle No. |, or
the clarifer, three gills Of blood, or the
whites of eight eggs, well beaten. If
you have neither, two pints of milk will
answer, but not so well Add six table
spoonsfull of milk Of lime previously
prepared, and stirred before using. Add
about gallon Of juice, and stir the whcle
thoroughly together.
Now dip into one Of the tubs of un-
mixed juice small strip Of the blue lit
mus paper. 1t viii immediately turn red,
more or less vivid in proportion to the
aoidity of the juice. Lay the strip of
litmus paper aside, and add to kettle No
about nineteen gallons mere Of juice !;
stir the whole. Then dip the strip of red
dened litmus paper into the kettle. If
it again becomes blue, the acid is entire
ly neutralized IF not, continue to stir
in milk of lime in small quantities, and
to test with the litmus paper, until its
! original blue color is restored.
