PROF HUMISr0N HEA RD FROM
The m my friends of Prof. llnmiston
III this county will be pleased to learn
that he is AS active us ever and pushing
his food preservatives with success.
A copy of the New Orleans Daily
City Item is before us, giving an ac-
count of a meeting of the sugar plant
ers 1T the Sugar Exchange. The Item
says:
Prof. II. +. Ilumiston, superintend-
ing chemist of the uumiston Preserva.
tive Company, was present. lie re-
ported the result Of his experiments on
mOlasses and cane juice, us he had
promised tOdO 1T the last meeting of
thu association. He presented several
BOTTLES OF molasses which he had treat
ed and had remained free from fer.
mentatiOn in Mr.. Calder's office since
last October. He also presented speci-
mems of mOlaSses treated some seven
weeks ago with his antiferments,
which had been subjected to immersion
in water At 1000.
Prof. Humiston gave the result of
his experiments with cane juice. At
tho last meeting it was decided to fur
nish him with winrowed cane for these
experiments. There was q delay of
nearly two weeks in furnishing that
cane, and when it was obtained slight
fermentation had commenced In the
cane itself. Nevertheless the professor
succeeded in completely averting and
preventing fermentation. 1t has re-
mained in q warm room for over two
weeks without the slightest sign of
fermentation, while untreated juice
spoiled and became ropy in few hours.
Prof. Humiston also presented speci-
which he had treated with his food pre-.
servative for ten days. The specimens
had been hanging in MIR. Calder 8 office
aud showed no signs of faint or decon.
position.
The association seemed greatly inter-
ested In this food question, as it will
enable them to have fresh food on their
plantations at any season of the year.
Other parties experinented in this city
with the food preservative, and they
had succeeded IN keeping chickens
for twenty one days, and reported them
sweet and fresh, although kept within
ten feet Of hotel range cooking 900
meals day. Other parties had tested
upon milk and oysters. keeping the
milk from ten to twelve days, aud the
0ySters for three weeks
Questions were asked the Professor
by ex.Gov. Warmoth in regard to the
cost Of preserving food and the inocu-
Gus character of the preservative, all Of
which were answered to the satisfaction
Of the meeting.
Prof. HumistOn, in order to dispel
the impression that the use of the anti.
ferment will cause inversion of the su.
gar, called attention to the stratum Of
granulated' sugar, fully half an inch
thick at the bottom Of the bottles Of
sugar and mOlasses. Whether in treat.
pent of the cane juice, Inversion will
take place, he is unable to say, on &C.
count Of fermentation having COM
penced in the cane, but he will exper-
lpent and give the result.
