made more protitably from watermelons
than from beets, III California. The
cantilope yields more sugar, but re-
quires more care and cost, in inanipula-

ons is stated to be seven percent. The
process of manufacture is briefly de-
scribed as follows: After boiling the
juice over the fire and taking the scum
off until it ceases to rise, lime water or
milk of lime is added to neutralize acid
ity. The juice is then esaporized by heat
until it is reduced to syrup Or sugar.
