Tn y the first place, the ealie must be fully ripe, so t much so that the cane must look yellbw, and n also the juice after it is expressed. Boil the c juice down to a very thick syrup until it huh- ((J hies like a pot of soap, when it is done. Be- t fore you commence boiling, dissolve one pint, o of liinc into two quarts of the juice, pour, it in t about 1T)0 gallons; boil as hist as you can with' 11 out running over?as far the time, you must 1 judge by the bubbles, and by holding up your dipper it will fall in sheets instead of drops. Let it cool in largo trays or open troughs before you pour into your barrel where you expect it to "ru inflate. Before pouring into the barrel, bore three holes in the bottom sufficiently large, to insert throe cane stalks. The object of the -cane is for the syrup to drop down through the bottom of thy barrel when the cane shrinks. The cane should be moved occasionally until it commences dripping freely. 1 think if your c;inc is thoroughly ripe, by following the directions above you will be r.uccetsful.
