very well.
D. c. Sutton, the chemist of the st. Cloud
laboratory at Kissimmee, has made three
analyses OF Florida cane, and submits the
results as follows to the Kissimmee Leader:
No l. red cane-Specific gravity, 106965S;
degrees beaume, 80; per cent. solids, It, 50;

ton says: 1.-The cane is doing splendidly: it |
is very large, and the yield win be exceed |
ingly good. 1t is rapidly approaching |
maturity. and work at grinding will begin |
here in few days. - A few words will, per |
haps, be necessary to explain the analysis:
The co-efficient of purity means the per |
cent. of sugar to 100 pounds of solids The |
glucose to sucrose ratio is the proportion of |
glucose to the 100 pounds of sucrose These |
Of
SO far-the highest reported by the last |
Louisiana Sugar Planter being 15.5 per
cent. of sucrose; their best is usually about |
IA per cent. l feel safe in the assertion
that before great while we will average
IA per cent. St. Cloud is splendidIy
equipped for sugar work. and will give a
large yield this season."
