FLUrED KETTLEs.-We append to this eerti-
fcate, published in the Pointe Coupee Democrat,
in reference to experiments made on the planta-
ton of Madame Lacoste, with DR.. Lefebvres futed
sugar kettles. From the certificate of the gentle
men who made the experiments all practical men
fully understanding the business of sugar making
we are led to the belief that DR.. Lefabyres inven-
ton is one of vast Importance to the interests of
Louisiana, and we commend it to the attention of
our sugar planters:
PARISH OF PoISrE CourEE
Fade River. November q. 1867.
AZ. 2. d. Roy, Editor.-Sir As o subject of
interest to sugar planters, we deem it orr duty to
state the results obtained with Dr. l.. H. Lefebyres
futed sugar kettles on the plantation of widow S.
A. Lacoste. The set consists of four kettles--one
of 4a. one ofT2, and two of IS, and was set up by
Mr.. o. W. Chase, of this parish
With thirty cords of wood, counting from the
moment the fires were lighted, we made in IS hours
twenty Eve hogsheads Of fine sugar, and this, too,
with very green cane.
The machinery presents no inconvenience what
ever, and the kettles are much less rapidly black
ened than those ordinarily in nse; in proof of
which we may add that we have made hundred
hogsheads of sugar without being compelled to
clean them.
We have no doubt whatever that, with a set of
six kettles, all the advantages claimed by DIR. Lee.
febvre will be fully realized, well with respect
to the saving Of fuel as the rapidity and facility of
the manufacture cord of wood being sufficient
for hogshead of sugar.
