SUGAR BY DIFFUSION.

Report on the Experiments In the Manu-.
facture of Sugar by Diffusion at the Gov
eminent Experiments Station at Law.
rcnee,La.-Practical Suggestions Offer ed
for improvements in Machinery Etc.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7-Dr. Wiley,
chemist of the United States Department
OF Agriculture, has just placed in the
hands Of the Secretary of Agriculture for
publication the reports of experiments in
the manufacture of sugar by diffusion at
magnolia Station. Lawrence, La, on the
plantation of Ex-Governor 81. c. War
mouth. The reports were prepared by
GuilfOrd L. Spencer, one of DIR. Wiley'S
assistants, who was detailed to perform
the chemical work in connection with
the manufacture Of sugar by diffusion on
the Governors plantation.
The report recites numerous hindrances
and difficulties (the principal ones due to
defects in the German cutter in use) aud
offers some practical suggestions for i'm
prOvements in the machinery used in the
diffusion process. In spite, however, of
the difficulties referred to in the work at
the Magnolia plantation, and which
comprised the manufacture of 1855. go
pounds Of sugar, the comparison be-
tween the mill work and the diffusion
process was in favor of the latter by a
yield of 4.1 pounds Of sugar to the ton of
cane. the diffusion average being 222
pounds, and that of the mill 1879
pounds; moreover the latter included
several tons treated by the diffusion
process, but so involved with the mill
work that the chemist in charge found it
necessary to GALL and include it all in
mill work, making the difference in favor
of the diffusion process even more marked
than these figures Indicate. In connec.
ton with this work it may be stated as
result of the work of the Department of
Agriculture during the past four or Ave
years, that the improvement in methods
and the application of chemical control
to the sugar factories, notably the exten.
sion of the diffusion process, has already
resulted in raising the highest average OF
sugar per ton of cane from $50 pounds to
more than two hundred pounds. There
seems every likelihood that this in.
crease will shortly be attained in the
general average of the State, a result
that will add about So, coo, 900 yearly to
the sugar crop of the State. Already
four large plantations, Magnolia, Des
Lint;es, Berwick and Lagonda, are pre-
pared to use the diffusion process, while
other planters have introduced chemical
control to their factories. and the sugar
experiment station at Renner, with the
substantial aid furnished by the depart
ment in the way of an assistant chemist
and 5000 annually, is doing some excel
emit work. This bulletin, as we'll as the
reports on the work done at Des Linges
and Calumet, will soon be ready for dis
tribution.

How to Brighten Birds from the Corn
Field.

Imagine my evaporation on coming
home a few days ago to find large flock
of blackbirds enjoying themselves-chat-
tering paily the while-and seeming per-
fectly at home in my corn patch. So busy
had they been that the nicely raked sur
face looked like chicken yard, so thor
oughly had it been trodden over. Getting
out my old Revolutionary, brought
down a couple of the graceless marauders
and hung them by the heels polesstuck
up in the patch. 1t was quite amusing to
see the flock come back presently and
taking note of their comrades in such q
disgraceful position, fly hither and thith-
er, scolding all the while The note was
not the same sort OF Come on now; here
is such soft snap; enough for every

Disposal of Night Soil.

The article Of DR.. Mellette is timely, and
the proper disposition of our daily ex-
creta cannot be too strongly urged. De-
cency compels the use of small out-houses,
beyond that, in the country, all is gen
orally open. The air is poisoned by the
malodors. The fluid part sinks into the
ground, and soon the sandy soil is per-
meated with foul matter, which the rains
carry down to the wells. Chickens often
have free access. Ugh what poultry !!
what eggs! Finally, the loss of what
would become valuable fertilizer, if
properly saved, is no mean item. Such a
way of living is all wrong, little better
than heathenish.
My method of saving privy products is
by galvanized iron pals, which found
ready made, but any tinman can make
them. The pals are about twelve inches
in diameter. and fifteen inches high. They
have good strong bail, with handle
riveted on near the bottom When nearly
full their contents are emptied in the COM
post and covered up.
After being emptied pint or more Of
kainit is sprinkled on the sides and bot
tom. Kainit is sulphate of potash, sui
phate of magnesia, chloride of soda, etc.
1t isapowerful disinfectant, and also fixes
the ammonia and otherga that would
rise and be lost while poisoning the at
mosphere. The above quantity will gen
orally suffice for the pail full, if not throw
in more.
Those who have no kainit can use dried
and pulverized muck after each sitting
This takes up the fluids and deodorizes
fecal matter, and makes a most excellent
fertilizer
Those who cannot procure the iron pals
can take all empty -four half barrel, re-
place the head and saw it in two. Nail
on straps forhandles, and thus make two
good tubs at trifing cost. L. Fl. A.

placed before the sorter as guide to the
eye, though some growers pass all lemons
through these holes, but this is a slow and
costly process, and the skillful sizer will
soon learn to gauge with his eye theprop-
er sizes. All fruit should be wrapped and
placed as tightly in the boxes as possible.
There is much diversity of opinion as to
the coloring of lemons, for the summer
crop being picked when quite green, re
quires curing or ripening process. After
trying various methods, such as sweat
ing, drying, exposing to the weather and
subjecting it to the fumes of sulphur,
have come to theconclusion thatthe best
plan is to pack as soon as possible and
ship at once only to such dealers as have
curing rooms The fruit ripens some
what in transit, and after arrival can
soon be cured, and to much better advan-
tage at it's destination than it can be
here.
There is also diversion of opinion as
to when to pick the lemon. Some prefer
to pick when the fruit reaches diameter
of from two to three inches, without re-
gard to ripeness; others wait until it is
fully grown and partially colored, but
prefer to gather whenever the peel has a
smooth and shiny appearance, but do
not always wait for this, and generally
gather every lemon that reaches diam
eter OF two and half inches by the fif-
teenth of July, or before, SO as to reach
the usually very high markets of that
period.
have found the lemon tree much freer
from diseases and insect pests than the
orange, and it seems rarely troubled with
blight or die back under conditions where
the orange tree would be sure to have one
or the other. 1t also seems to be rarely
troubled with scale. Its greatest enemy
is the rust mite. A russet orange is sal
able at areduced price, buta russetlemon
has thus far proved unstable, though
really just as good, and it is probable
that in the future there will be found a
use for them, for there is nothing against
them except their appearance.
There are several preparations of sui
phur, lime, carbolic acid and other chem
icals that will kill the rust mite, but I
question much whether they are practi-
cally available in large lemon grove, on
account of the cost and labor of apply
ing them; and am of the opinion that
these preparations are not healthful for
the tree Whenever have used them my
self have found following evil of scale.
Shade, and plenty of it, and absence OF
all animal fertilizers during the growth
of the fruit are, think, much better pre-
ventives.
As to the profits of lemon culture am
very hopeful. Up 10 the present time
the pri es obtained for Florida lemons
have been very high whenever the grow
