An Improved Cane Mill Wanted.

Our Louisiana sugar growers are
calling loudly for an invention which
some OF our ingenious readers ought
to supply, namely; cane mill which
will largely increase the Weld of
juice obtainable by current methods
of pressing. At present but little
over half the juice is extracted, even
In the best managed mills, the major
ity Of planters failing to realize SO
much as SO per cent. of the possible
yield of their cane. The Mason
process, in which the pressed cane,
or bagasse, is saturated and subject
ed to second pressing, is said to in
crease the yield from IS to 20 per
cent, but the cost of evaporatine
the greater volume of water must
considerably reduce the gain. The
Mallon process, in which the cane is
subjected to the action of steam di-
rect from the boilers, while the cane
is passing through the mill, is said to
demonstrate the possibility of get
ting Y per cent. of the juice from
old stubble cane, and "a per cent
from plant cane; though whether it
will do this in average working we
are not informed. Tue yNoblem is
nog1--s.e-.sl: z Z. e =. II : I lA1z.
any considerable PBfEiDn u the juice
now wasted would not only largely
increase the profits Of sugar growing,
and enable our American industry to
compete successfully with that of
the countries most favored by nature
tor this work, but would certainly
remunerate the inventor. In the
words of a planter, who begs us 70
lay this matter before our active
minded readers: "'The planters will
pay as well as bless the man who can
say Eureka !''-ScieatitSc american.

A New and Useful Farm Cart.

Among the many curious, useful
and novel contrivances on exhibition
at the State Fair, we were much in
terested in the gopher cart" Flor
ida invention, devised and patented
some years since, by DR.. Ze Butt, OF
Ocala. DR.. Butt, besides being a
talented physician, is an enthusiastic
believer in the capabilities of Flori-
da as an agricultural state. He
farms his land with success, and be-
ing mechanic withal, labor saving
devices are made to contribute to his
necessities. This cart is unique in
its construction, and somewhat novel
in appearance 1t is hung low, the
bottom of the body, not being more
than foot from the ground. 1t is
furnished with side boards, end
boards, and bars, extending to the
rear so as to afford the facilities of a
common dray. The body remains
the same for all purposes, the differ
ent attachments being added, accord
ing to the needs of the work in hand
and it can be set and kept, at any de-
sired angle, to facilitate loading and
unloading. When loaded, it is held
in position by an automatic latch, SC
constructed, that it is impossible to
dump the load by accident. This
cart has been in use by4several large
farmers, in the center of the State
who are so we'll pleased with its util
ity everywhere, that they have dis
carded all other vehicles for farm
work. We hope to see the gopher
more generally used.-Msro.
