or at the rate OF 1.124 pound per
gallon, the white sugar alone being
0.75 pound per gallon, AT Bene
Mazar the yield OF first sugars was
OIL pound per gallon, the total yield
being estimated at 1.2l pound per
gallon. At either factory the result
must be looked upon as extremely
good, considering that the canes were
very small. their dimensions seldom
exceeding tour feet long by one inch
to one and half inch diameter. A
great pumber OF the canes were also
SO short that they had to be carried
up to the mills in baskets. And, be-
sides this, they lay frequently for two
weeks and even three weeks cut be-
tore they were ground. During the
experiments lot of cane sent from
Bene Mazar, where it had been cut
down to make room Tor the Agricul-
tural Railway, lay fortnight before
it was crushed. Sugar makers can
readily estimate the deterioration OF
the Juice which resulted from this de-
lay.
II am indebted to the courtesy OF
the Colonial Company ior the follow
ing statement On their estate III

OF its sugar-cane-tlom cane Juice,
when at its best in the months OF
March, April, and MAY, and indicaI-
ing 100 Beaume at TO- temperature,
they obtained, OF first white sugars,
&.43 per cent. on the cane juice, and
OF second sugars, 4.56 per cent, or in
all 1898 per cent, sor about l,4O5
per gallon. The company does not
work the molasses a thild time, but
as the second boiling forms 81 Yer
cent. Of the first, it is probable that
very little crystaliizable sugar is lost
At Aba, the second boiling toms
only SO per cent. of the first, and il
is rot likely that the sugar derives
from the Third boiling would make
the aggregate amount greater Than
50 per cent. This result seems Il
show that, under like favorable cir
cumstances, equally high results may
be looked for in Egypt. Sir DAME

cit is we'll known that sulphuric
acid is a deadly enemy to crystalIiz'
able sugar, and sulphurous acid being
very nearly allied, it was feared that
its use might also be, 10 some extent,
preiudicial. TO settle this point,
samples of juice obtained from
Egyptian cane were carefully clarified
in the ordinary manner with lime,
and then filtered through charcoal,
and also by the sulphurous acid gas
process; the resulting specimens OF
clarified Juice were then analysed,
and it was found that the samples OBJ
tanned from the latter process were
to a slight extent richer i'll crystalllz-
able sugar, the difference, however,
was very small, SO that practically 1t
became safe to assume that there
would be no loss of crystalized sugar
through the use Of sulphurous acid.
Inasmuch as the third boiling OF mo-
lasses has to stand from three months
to six months before it can throw
down all the crystallizable sugar,
complete investigation into the yield
OF any process is very tedious busl'
ness, anG, in tact, can only be accu-
rately done by exact observation
throughout the seasons working, ex.
tending, with the manufacture OF all
the produce, over at least seven
months or eight months. Nor is 1t
possible 10 make any satisfactory es-
innate Of the yield OF the third boiling,
as it varies very much, depending
greatly On the state OF the canes and
the goodness OF the original clarihca-
ton and concentration OF the juice. l
devoted one month to watching the
successive transformations OF l65,545
gallons Of raw juice as tar as the
third boiling and, considering the
immense number Of measurements
taken, the corrections for tempera-
tnre necessary, and the circumstance
that a large number OF observers had
to be employed, the results OF my III
vestigations are surprisingly accurate.

made in 1871, O.S9 pound and 1.O1
pound per gallon OF juice respectively;
OF seconds sugars, O.29 pound and Ola
pound and OF molasses, OBJ pound
and O.47 pound. in these mills con-
cretors are employed for the concen-
tration; and as no use whatever is
made of the steam from the juice,
more than two tons of coal have been
consumed per ton of dry sugars, be-
sides ali the megass. The quantity
of molasses, or uncrystalizable sugar,
remaining after the first boiling, may
be taken as the measure OF the de-
graduation the juice has suffered dur
ing its manufacture into sugar. Tax
ing the percentages i'll each case on
the first and second sugars together,
it appears that the aba factory makes
but SO per cent; Bene Mazar, 80 per
cent; the Australian mills, Al per
cent and As per cent. This seems TO
demonstrate that the sulphurous acid
gas process, when combined with
rapid concentration, realizes larger
percentage OF marketable sugar than
other systems OF manufacture.
"The total yield OF all sugars and
molasses, in pounds per gallon, was
1926 at Aba; 1852 and l.75 in the
Australian factories; and 2.19 in
Demerara, showing that my state>
ment about the bad condition OF the
Egyptian canes is fully borne out.
The specific gravity of cane juice is
affected not only by the saccharine
matter it contains, but also by the
various impurities in solution, and
even by solid matters in suspension.
The density Of juice is generally
taken by Beaume's hydrometer; and
as an illustration OF the manner in
which suspended matter affects its
indications, it may be mentioned
tn at milk Of lime at 700 temperature,
as long as it is kept agitated, will in
dictate 100 Beaume when mixed in
the proportion OF ten parts by weight
OF water to one part of lime, but,
when suffered to subside, will regis
ter only p III the clear solution con-
tanning one part OF lime in 700 parts
of water. Throughout my expert
ments the density Of the juice and
syrups was carefully ascertained, and
l found, on comparing the actual
yield OF sugar with the tabular guam
titles represented by the density
of the juice that there was a
total loss Of sol per cent; and be-
tween the quantity contained in the
,7SifiGe entering the concentfatofs, ana
that held by the syrups running out,
a loss OF 1862 per cent. These results,
though valuable as indicating that no
great error had been committed III
the numerous measurments, cannot
be taken as strictly true, because the
readings OF the hydrometers were un-
doubleday affected by the lime, and
it's sulphate was proved to have been
held in solution 10y the deposits both

What MuLching Does.

From the Patrons Guide =,
Mulching holds moisture in the
soil and retains the atmospheric
ammonia; breaks the force of the
rains and thus prevents the ground
from becoming baked; prevents, also
the soil from freezing so easily as
when exposed; prevents rapid thaw-
ing; during the heated seasons cools
the earth these are the principal
advantages to be derieved from mul>
ching, and yet they are sufficient to
make any farmer think favorable OF
mulching.

Looking at these figures the Demo-
Gratis were prepared for Radical major
ity acout $1,000, and knew that
ANYTHING less would indicate q tidal
wave for Hancock. At = p. N. the
dispatches show that the Radicals in the

of. G.. Blaine and Hannibal Hamlin
have been routed by nearly 1000 ma
jority, that 3 Democratic Congressman
have been been elected and that James
A. Garfield OF De GOlyer notoriety has
lost seven electoral votes. Well may
the Democrats cheer, and wild be their
enthusiasm. Tho Republicans with
5000 majority would hold their own;
with less than 5000 they cannot COM

when the returns say that they have no
majority at all. the death knell OF Radi
ism has been sounded. Who doubts

brightly in all directions. The South

AUGUSTA, Midnight, September l3.-
The immense crowds around the head
quarters of both parties in the earlier
part OF the evening are dispensing. The
vote has been very close, but the indica-
tions now are that the back towns will
offset the Republican loss in the cities.
At the Republican headquarters
Davis election is claimed, as are
also the House and Senate. The Repub-
lican defeat on Representatives in
the Fourth and Fifth Districts is con-
ceded. One hundred and eighteen towns
give net Republican loss OF about 200
over last year. At the Fusion head
quarters Plaisted's election is claimed
by 1000 majority as are also there oil the
five Congressman.

over Which Montenegrins and Albani-
ans are Fiercely Wrauglipg-The Sui
tan Hsaping Reprosches on His Foreign
Minister Instructions to the French
Admiral to Procee1 With Caution.
LONDON, Sept. l3.-A Vienna dispatch
confirms the report that the Prince OF
Montenegro has agreed to move his
claim to Dinosc and Gruda, il Dulcigno
is surrendered. The correspondent at
Vienna discredits the reports OF the COL
lsion between the Albanians and the
Turks.
The correspondent OF the Times at
Ragusa, in dispatch dated Sunday, de.
nies that the Prince of Montenegro is
inclined to precipitate matters by his
hasty action, as he considers the Pow
ers bound in honor to procure the ces-
sion of Dulcigno.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, September l3.-On
Wednesday the Sultan, who had seemed
to be in conCiliatory mood, suddenly
changed his tone and reproached
Abeialin Pasha, late Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, with making unnecessary con-
cessions TO the powers in the Dulcigno
affair. There can be no doubt that the
changed tone of the Albians and OF the
Palace are intimately connected, but 1t
is not easy to Diet rhine whether the
Albanians menaces OF resistance have
frightened the Sultan, causing him TO
abandon his intention to cede Dulcigno,
or whether he never really intended to
cede it and has privately instlgated
the renewed resistance.
LONDON, September ia Paris dis
patch says: New instructions have been
sent the French Admiral in Turkish
waters, enjoining the utmost care ami
caution.
A Vienna dispatch says the powers
intend to offer the Prince OF Montenegra
a proposal relative to Demaschi and
Gruda, probably as an ultimatum to the
Porte. The latter also desires to retain
Metagosh, which is inadmissable.
RAGUsA, September lS.-It is most de-
sirable that British Vice Admiral Sey-
mour should have his hands strength
ened. A misunderstanding has already
arisen between the A Austrian and Italian
admirals, the latter having failed 20 sa-
lutte on the arrival of the former. The
affair, however, has been adjusted, the
salute being fired the next day. The
gravity OF the situation must not he un'
der estimated. In view of the explosive
elements brought together the success
of the demonstrations will depend AL
most entirely on Nice-Admiral Sey-
mour's iudicious management.

ing to-day, 80 far, has been quiet, each
side endeavoring to get out full vote.
At l2 O'Clock but light vote had been
thrown and the Republicans had small
majority. They also lead in Kennebunk
and Saco. In Kennebunk and Kene-
bunkport the Democrats are casting a
much larger vote than was expected,
and it is possible representative may
be gained in the towns OF Kennebunk
and Lyman. The county will be close.
The temperate vote is small.

BosToS, Sept. l3.-The Trareller's
special dispatch from Augusta, says:
This morning opened with perfect
weather, which reports from other
parts OF the State show to be general.
The result is that heavy vote is being
cast, and while the polling goes on the
shouters on both sides maintain an
equally confident front. Senator
Blaine cast his vote early. He declines
to give any estimate in figures, but feels
assured OF complete Republican tri.
umph that will make the Congressional
delegation solid. Candidate Plaisted,
however, says he feels certain that he
shall be the next Governor. Congress
men Ladd and Murch are equally posi-
tive in their claims.

ment runs high. Voters are coming out
in full force, and those who are well in.
formed say they never knew a year
when the people manifested the same
interest and went TO the polls so early.
Ii is now too early TO give any idea OF
the relative vote thrown.
Portland.
Bosroy, September l3.-A Portland
special to the Herald says: The polls
opened with indications OF heavy vote,
and with good deal of scratching. The
Fusionists in most OF the wards are
voting in solid body. The Fusion vote
will be in early. All quiet. The indi-
cations are that the Nye men are voting
for Plaisted. There is an astonishing
crowd at the polls. Berry, Secretary OF
the Greenback Committee, claims that
Tral, Republican candidate for sheriff,
has been scratched enough to defeat
him. The Democrats challenge every
Irish Republican vote in the Fourth
ward.
In Biddeford the election is proceed
ing earnestly, with a promise OF full
vote. The Democrats are more conf
dent this morning than at any previous
time. At IL o'clock the Republicans
led in six of the seven wards, having
about 90 majority.
