Book excerpt: Excerpt from Record of Experiments at Fort Scott, Kansas: In the Manufacture of Sugar From Sorghum and Sugar-Canes, in 1886 The results of the experiments made at Ottawa last year gave encouragement to the friends of the sorghum sugar industry, and led to the undertaking of a new series of experiments at Fort Scott. The Department of Agriculture entered into the following agreement with the Parkinson Sugar Company at Fort Scott: Agreement Between The Commissioner Of Agriculture And The Parkinson Sugar Company Of Fort Scott, Kans. The Commissioner of Agriculture agrees to erect at the works of the Parkinson Sugar Company of Fort Scott, Kaus., one diffusion battery with all its appliances; three cane-cutters, one of which shall have a horizontal cutting disk, with appliances for feeding the cane to the same, and elevators for delivering the chips to the cells. He further agrees to erect one carbonatation apparatus, to consist of a lime-kiln, carbonic-acid pump, four carbonatation tanks, and four filter-presses, with all their connections; also one sulphur apparatus, consisting of two sulphur furnaces, three saturation-tanks, three filter-presses, one air-pump, and all necessary connections. He further agrees to prepare the whole of the above-mentioned machinery for practical work, and to provide all necessary labor and material for a thorough experimental trial of the same, and when this trial is finished to allow the Parkinson Sugar Company the free use of the apparatus for the rest of the manufacturing season of 1 -6, without any charge for rental to the Parkinson Company aforesaid. It is expressly agreed and understood that all machinery furnished by the Department of Agriculture, and all fixtures and appliances therewith connected, shall remain the property of the Department, and the Commissioner reserves the right to make such disposition of all of it after the end of the present manufacturing season as may seem to him best suited to promote the public interest. The Parkinson Sugar Company agree to furnish suitable buildings in which to erect this machinery, to supply steam for driving it and for use in the calorisators of the battery, and to allow the Commissioner of Agriculture as much time as he may issue not exceeding ten days from the commencement of the manufacturing season. for the purpose of making the experimental trials before mentioned; provided that during these experimental trials the Commissioner of Agriculture shall pay for all coal consumed for supplying the steam mentioned above, and for all limestone, coke, sulphur, filtering-cloths, and other materials used in the experiments. The said company also agree to furnish a suitable room for the chemical laboratory to he erected by the Department and used by the Department chemists during the continuance of the manufacturing season.
