Abstract
THIS collection of tables was primarily made for the use of the sugar chemists of Louisiana, but it is equally applicable to the operations of every manufacturer of cane-sugar. The work may be recommended to all who seek to use the laboratory as a control of the working of the sugar-house. In every well regulated1 factory the manager is dependent upon the chemist for information as to the amount of sucrose in the raw juice, the yield of sugar, the losses in manufacture, and whether or not all the available sugar is being extracted from the cane, and the efficiency and value of the laboratory largely depend upon the rapidity and accuracy with which this information can be furnished. The work is thoroughly practical, and is evidently the outcome of many years' experience of sugar testing.
