THIS EVAPORATOR IS CONSTRUCTED
! especially for the purpose Of making su-
gar from the Chinese Sugar Cane, which has
resulted in producing sugar equal in quality
to the brown sugars of commerce-and that.
too, from the JUICE OF GREEN CANE. In
this Evaporator IRE combined facilities for
producing sugar DIRECTLY from the juice
Of the cane. without introducing any foreign
substance whatever. TO either cleanse or cause
it to crystalline. The transfer of the boiled
contents and replacement of new supply Of
juice. are effected without loss Of either time
or hcat-caus;ng no delay thereby in the pro-
cess of boiling.
In short, for simplicity, Durability and eff
cheney this Evaporation is maui'estly in advance
of anything now in use: not only for the man
II act"re Of Sorghum, but Southern Cane and
Maple Sugar: and the success attending the
efforts of inexperienced operators is sufficient
guarantee Of its usefulness and PERFECT
adaptation to the wants Of the sugar growers
wherever introduced. The capacity OF diam
e'er Of this Evaporation ,s susceptible Of being
increased to ana desired extent or an intle6-
mite number of them can he placed in a range
; and thus worked very advantageou .ly.
