A METHOD OF PRESERVING CANE
JUICE.-Recent reductions in the
price Of salicylic acid have enabled
the planters in British Guiana to use it
largely and with great advantage in
the manufacture of sugar. This acid
has long been mown to possess high
anttseptic qualities, but hitherto its
high cost has prevented free use beinq
made Of IL. Its power of destroying
ferments is astonishing, and cane
juice may be kept by it perfectly
sweet for days, which would. in it's
natural state, turn acid in a couple of
hours. 1t enables mach of the lime
hitherto used to be dispensed with, and
this allows of the bright yellow colour
of the sugar being retained.-India Dc
