Eg- A bogus farmer" noticing
what he is pleased to terna bastard
editorial" on INGALLS, Evaporator, in the
Guardian, Of June 10th, takes occasion,
in last weeks Civilian, to spit out a col
umn of very i'll tempered matter at Mr.
INGALLS,. With this, however, We have
nothing TO do, for Mr.. INGALLS,, Of all
other men III our county, is the one least
requiring defence from silly attempts at
ridicule or wit. Nor do we find in this
pretended farmers pretentious effort, ANY
thing needing refutation or reply, unless
it may be the kind Of vague general
charge OF ignorance, Of Sugar making,
as shown in our article on Mr.. INGALLS,
Evaporator. But the sapient " Farmer"
specifies nothing in particular as false or
Objectionable in that article, nor has he
pointed out anything in the claims set ur
by Mr.. INGALLS,, for his Evaporator, as
humbug or preence. In fact the article
seems to be nothing but an attempt to
display feeble power ofrdicule. by one
muddled by repeated failures in exper-
imenting."
We only propose to show this critic,
4" blurred and mud lied by repeated fail
ures in experimenting" that if our arti-
Gle was mastery display of ignoran ce
and stupidity on the subject of Sorghum
making, we are in very respectable COM
pany, in our conclusions. We said that
the main essential in Sorghum making
was to thoroughly extract the impurities
from the sap. Upon this point the pro-
prietors of Cooks Evaporaor, whose at
tenlion to the subject, and whose expert
ence, should relieve them from the charge
Of ignorance and perpendicular" stu
pibity, say, in their directions for the
use Of their Evaporator
SKIN FAITHFULLY. Impurities must
not be aLto,ced to renuin in the syrup"
Mr.. MANSFIELD, Of Lexington, Ohio,
a successful manufacturer Of Sugar from
Sorghum, quoted by the same gentle
men, gives, among what he terms eight
grand requisites. the following:
ID Thorough skimming at a LOW HEAT.
4th. Unremitted Swimming.
9th. Keep on Swimming.
This shows his idea Of the importance
of proper DELEGATION.
O. n. BRAINARD, OF Linn County, in
this State, a noted manufacturer of Scr
ghum, and the patentee of an Evapora-
tor, says:
I'VE want pan that rM heat Slo,cly al first
until the green scum rises then the next is
something to take out the curdles that are form
ed by heating the JUICE These curdles contain
the vegetable sugar, vegetable albumen and
poetene, and if they are in the juice and not
taken out by skimingor strainiug, the syrup will
not be good and never will grain. Why is it
that one barrel out of ten turns to sugar and the
nine never can be made 20 grain, all from the
same piece of cane and manufactured Just
alike. The first borret wds SKINNED just at the
right time and The cuTdtes taken out.
Here, then, is abundant evidence from
sources not muddled by repeated fail
ures in experimenting" that the FIRST es-
sential OF manufacture is purifcaton.
How is this to be done?
lst. All agree that h at is the great
agent But how applied?
Cd. INGALLS, says, as we stated in our
first article, cheat slowly and moderately
at first to raise the green scum" BRAIS
ARD says we want \ pan that will
heat slowly at first until the green scum
rises" MANSFIELD says: Thorough
skimming at low heat"
Perhaps a Farmer" blurred and
muddled by repeated futures in expert
mcnting" won't say so.
Sd. INGALLS, theory, as we gave it in
our former article, is, that if the syrup is
allowed to boi before being cleansed , the
impurities are boiled into the sap and
cannot afterward be removed. Upon
this point Cooks pamphlet says:
" But a running stream, passing directly
forward through the pan would not afford OPP
portanity for DELEGATION, it is impossible to
more all the scam and impurities tohere the
body Of juice is oiolentiy AFFILIATED in boiling The
scum intermingles with the juice, and becomes
so Thoroughly incorporated plh The saccharine ete
aaents that Ills impossible cfterrardt 10 separate -
Perhaps this testimony may have some
effect upon Mr.. Faux r." though

perimenrio." and he nay no, b ),
