10 fulfil your wishes as far as / am able, l OF
fer the following remarks accompanied BY
two tables-the first table, showing in the
last column, the "Searsdale" crop taken of
by Mr.. Theodore J. Paekwood with u three
pan n. Rillieux Apparatus" as contrasted
with the other methods therein shown. The
/ second table will show you tlH results BY
four ditfeaent methods of taking off a crop
OF 10000 pounds first sugar.
There are now in Louisiana eight different
methods used in making sugar, VIZ
lst-The OLD Set of Kettles.
2d-Set Of Kettles for Syrup, and Strike
High Pressure Steam Pan.
Sd-Set of Kettles for Syrup, and Strike
Vacuum Pan.
4th-open High Pressure Steam Pans for
Syrup and Strike.
5th-0pen High Pressure Steam Pans for
Syrup and Strike Vacuum Pan.
6th-One Syrup and one Strike Vacuum
Pan, Clariiiers and Filters.
7th-" Desgands Apparatus, Clarlhers
and Filters.
sth-N. Rillieux's Three and Four Pan Ap-
paratus, CHARTERS and Filters.
The drst and second methods give very
nearly the same Sugar and exactly the same
quantity. Nearly the whole profit from 4
Steam Battery arises from the boiling of the
Molasses. The different Strike High Pres
sure Pans give the same result, but the
Worms are the best as they cost less, and are
easier kept In repair-same consumption of
fuel from three to four cords to the 1000
pounds Sugar.
Sd Sugar made in Set OF Kettles and fin
ished in a Vacuum Pan of any description,
when well made, is worth y a q cent per
pound more than when made by Kettles
alone. The profit arising from a Strike Vac
uum Pan pays back twice the outlay in one
crop. There is no saving of fuel.
4th method-Sugar made altogether in open
high pressure pans, is worth less by A(aIS
cent per pound than il made by the SET OF
kettles, and the consumption Of fuel is Is to
% per cent. greater.
5th method Is inferior TO the set of kettles
and strike vacuum pan, and the consumption
of fuel from Is TO 25 per cent. greater.
9th method gives as much, and as good,
sugar us the next following, but consumes
from 5 to 81 cords of wood per 1000 pounds
sugar,
eth method ought to give as much, aud as
good, sugar, as the following, but has not
yet done so-consumes l5S@1A cords of
wood per 1000 pounds sugar.
Sth method gives as much sugar us the
aforementioned 9th and 9TH methods, and
better sugar than all the other methods. The
three pan apparatus consumes from 910ths
to / \ cords wood per 1000 pounds of sugar;
the four pan apparatus, from Il TO q of a
cord per lVUU pounds oil sugar.
The lst and I'd methods are in general use
in Louisiana; the first table shows the re-
suit The profit of Steam battery arises
from the boiling of the molasses.
The Sd method-the Vacuum Pan, is used
as a Strike Pan on the following plantations:
Messrs. Morgan's, Gordon's, Millaudon's,
Judge Buffers, Colonel Keys, Urquhart's,
Davenport's, kitteredge's, p. Rillieux's, aud
Poydras's.
Messrs. Morgan and Gordon make syrup
mould sugar. Messrs. Urquhart sold their
unsyruped hid. vacuum pan sugar at y cent
per pound more than that made by their set
of kettles. p Rillieux sold his vacuum pan
sugar in hhds. at u cent per pound more
than his kettle sugar.
The 4th method is used by Messrs. R. Will
kinson, and Forstall. l have no certain
information about Mr.. Wilkinson's; Mr..
Forstalps, ii is said, consumes 4(d5 cords of
wood per 1000 pounds of sugar; and the
sugar is OF lower quality than by set of
kettles. His apparatus, including the filters,
cost 81, 900
The 5th method is used on the plantations
of Messrs. Gordon, johnson, and Osgood,
with filters. Mr.. Gordon has given up his
syrup high steam train, on account of the
great consumption of fuel, and come back to
the the Sd method with filters. Mr.. john
son has made his whole crop in syrup mould
sugar, and sent it to New Orleans in hhds.
marked A, B, and C; sold at ~, 615, and
6H. Mr.. Osgood has made unsyruped hid.
sugar, which sold at from sac cents, and
molasses sugar, at 81 cents per pound. This
apparatus consumed from to cords of
wood per 1000 pounds of sugar.
The 9th method, used on the plantations
of Messrs. Wilkinson, Morgan, and Janin.
Mr.. Wilkinson's works very well, and makes
good syruped sugar-price unknown. His
hid. sugar sold at cents per pound. This
gentleman thinks his apparatus consumes
81 cords of wood per 1000 pounds of sugar;
the apparatus 5000 lbs. boing power. / am
not informed if Mr.. Morgan has used his two
pans this season. He took off his
crop in syrup mould sugar-price unknown.
MIR. Janin has splendid refinery; having no
wood on his plantation, he uses altogether
coal to take off his crop. ] have no exact
data, either of consumption of fuel or boil
ing power Of his apparatus, but | think he
must consume nearly as much as Mr.. Wilkin-
son, which would require about l6 barrels
1f coal per 1000 pounds of sugar, at 3 barrels
per cord of wood. As his apparatus worked
his year, its boiling power is 25 to 80 per
cent greater than Mr.. Wilkinson's
The 7th method, Desgrand's apparatus,
1uilt by Messrs. Stillman, Allen 4 Co., at
he Novelty Works, New York, is used on
Messrs. Valcour Aime's, and Lapiee's planta-
ions. do not believe the boiling power of
hese two apparatuses to be over 1900 and
{, 600 pounds of sugar in "a hours; their
pparatuses consumed Il and ~ cords of
wood per 1000 lbs. of sugar. Mr. Valcour
Aime made syruped mould sugar and hid.
ugar. / am not informed of the price of |
ales of his sugar. Mr.. Lapice's made syr-
lped tiger sugar, sent to New Orleans in |
lids, marked Nos. l, 2, and 8, and sold at |
:, 6, and cents.
The sth method, N Rillleux's patent three |
nd four pan apparatus, built by Messrs.
derrick & TOw1e, of Philadelphia, assignees 4
4 n. Rillieux's patent, is in use on the follow
ng plantations: Three pan apparatus on Mr. 4

n Messrs. Benjamin q Packwood's, 1900
bs. Messrs. Armant & Brothers, 24,000 lbs.
The boiling power Of all these apparatuses
one-third greater than their nominal pow
