chemist of the department of agriculture, has
for the past two weeks been experimenting in
the manufacture of crystalized sugar from
cornstalk and sorghum. The aggregate weight

weight of sorghum 49, 53 pounds The weight
of juice from the cornstalk was 2,773 pounds,
and from sorghum 4,963 pounds. The specific
gravity of cornstalk juice was l,054; that of
sorghum Juice LOIS The per centage of
the field, was 2.468; the per cent
age of sorghum 1868 25,711 pounds
Of cornstalk juice yielded 1862 pounds of syrup,
/ 1885 pounds Of sorghum yielded $50 pounds of
syrup. This syrup contains rs per cent. of the
i weight of sugar. The mill used in these ex-
