Quantity of Tank Water Produced.
—This is variable, depending upon closeness of saving and density; also quantity of solid substance measured, and other items, but generally speaking from cattle slaughtered—ten gallons per head, and from pigs two and one-half gallons per head are collected.
Expense of Evaporating Stick.
—The following test shows the cost of producing stick through evaporators. The cost at the present time would be 100% higher owing to coal costs:
