his communication inserted in No.

or loyal man, can (if he really knows
properly and a Judge Of the facts)
even if he conceals himself under an
anonymous H, set forth a matter
automatically just as little as he can
(if he does not know the facts) shell
ter himself under the plea of ignor.
ance while making such coarse attacks
as those of Mr.. Fl. in the said article.
! have said and can prove it from
the C%ompany's books "that the fac
tory's molasses has been hitherto
sold even if at low prices" and this
statement, which can be confirmed by
the whole Board of Directors, by the
Auditors, andby the accounts furnish

by Mr.. HIS nursery story about the
mass of molasses that flowed out
and coloured the water red for a
considerable distance around" 1t

the whole set of these narratives,
there is some truth in it. Why has
Mr.. IL. not told what this is? It is
impossible that he car be ignorant of
the fact that the greatest trouble to the

THE AVIS"
CHRISTIANSTED, ST. CROTX
Wednesday, January 26M 1881.

One morning about two weeks ago
a serious discovery was made on Is
tate Annaly, no less than IA head of
cattle being found to be blind. There
was no evidence, so far as we know,
TO shew the cause of the blindness. A
Committee of investigation summon
ed by the Presidency, met in Chris
tiansted on Monday last to consider
the matter. In the mean time the
cattle had recovered under the skilful
treatment kindly volunteeredsby DR..
Hansen. We trust that this occur
renee will have the effect of impress
ing on all parties concerned the desi-
rability of inducing a competent We
terinary surgeon to take up his resi-.
dence here.
His Maiesty's Frigate Upland, 28guns,
arrived ut West End on Friday after
noon. The vessel has a crew of 400
men. The following is a list of the
officers, which we copy from the

too surprising to those who remem-
ber that it was precisely in the sum-
mer of 1879, when Mr.. Hagemann
was himself working at the Factory,
that the throwing away of the molas-
seswas made systematic. During that
summer there were first made pun
cheons which were filled with molas-
ses, then rolled down on to the Jetty
and emptied into the water. When
the necessary number cf puncheons
became too expensive, a wooden
spout was laid from the Factory to
the shore, through which the molas-
ses flowed out and coloured the water
red for a considerable distance
around. When the factory is in full
swing the minimum quantity of
molasses produced daily is about
100 cwts. If the lime were precipi-
tated and the juice boiled while it
was in its unaltered condition the
quality of the molasses would certain
ly be about the same as the quality
Of the dark sort which the refneries
in this city offer for sale; for these
naturally do not sell any molasses
from which they can proftably make
crystallisable sugar. If we further
reckon the value of such a quality in
the West Indies as only 5 crowns per
cwt. then the daily loss suffered By
the factory when in full. swing is at
the least 500 crowns (about $I33).
Thatbeautifully crystallized sugarcan
be produced from saccharate of lime
nobody doubts. But if,the mixture of
lime and cane juice must take-and
that whether the work goes on quick
ly or slowly-so long a time to reach
the main factory through the under
ground pipes leading from the juice
stations that the juice suffers unsatis-
factory chemical changes resulting in
burning in the vacuum pan and the
cashiering of all the molasses, then it
must be granted me that the system
used is unsuccessful. After what has
been brought forward it will scarcely
be on the planters hal the response
bility will rest if it should be shewn
in the future, as it has been shewn in
the past three years, that the factory
cannot support itself.

ses and of this salt molasses a small
quantity, a few hundred puncheons,
was thrown away, as it could be known
beforehand that nobody would pur-
chase it. AS this did not happen until
after / had left st. Croix (hence | was
not present when "the throwing away
of the molasses was made systema-
tie") | can unfortunately not say to
how wide an extent the water was
coloured red by the molasses, though
l have a modest doubt that the phe-
nomenon occurred at all !; for the
Directors, who would naturally have
received information from the Com
pany's Manager, have never heard
about it till through Nj. II. Turning
Mr.. HIS sentence round, | can prove
at any moment I may be called upon
that " the molasSeS whicb has been con-
demned counts as nothing against tie
mass of molasses ,ohich has been sold,"
and that the molasses which has been
condemned has been spoiled by 9
foreign admixture (nanely OF salt
water)which has nothing to do with
the system on which the factory 10
founded.
The calculation of the value of the
molasses, if it were prepared from
juice which only for a short time had
been in contact with lime is so by
pothetical that | will gladly grant
it to Mr.. H; but when he compares the
factory molasses or hat from a Mar
Unique Usine with what our refineries
at home produce, then his ignorance
shews itself on so colossal a scale,
that nobody who has a little idea
of this article of traffic can do other
wise than smile. For my part | will
do more, | Will advise him to sell his
discovery to Mr.. TAFT in London, who
works with just that kind Of juice,
that namely which " only for a short
time is in contact with lime," but who
in spite of that produces a molasses
or syrup which u only compare
with beet moIasses. The solution of
the problem of how to produce u
syrup which only approximately
could compare with our refnery-sy-
rup would be worth a great deal
OF money to Mr.. TAFT, and Mr.. II.
would certainly do a good stroke OF
business with him.
MIR Fl. has in his ignorance assum.
ed that when l have spoken of getting
more value out of the molasses than
before, this was be done through the
lime process; but this is not SO, it
would be by a perfectly simple boil
ing and capitalization that such an
object would be attained, an object
which l know by experience it 10
possible to attain, and which would
bring in a considerably larger sum
that Mr.. II. ventures to bring into
his calculation for the most note
worthy thing in reference to Mr. HIS
reckoning is that we have got for our
molasses this year, partly by selling
it, and partly by getting 3rd produces
sugar from it, a sum which is not
far short of what he himself has fixed.

TIMELY ADVICE To cotton PLAN

Vicksliurg Herald.

The season of the year has arrived
when the press takes charge Of the
agricultural interests. Spring Is here
and the weather IL delightful, the edi-
tors can therefore take hand. When
Summer comes it brings heat and
long matter-of- fact days that try the
granger's souls, That's the time when
the editors delight to not interfere in
planting operations.
This Journal has never doubted for
an instant its ability to regulate plant
Ing affairs in this country better than
they now are If it could have its advice
fol owed. We 90 with the planters
ana d. not advise them TO diversity
their crops, raise their meat, corn,
fruit, poultry, horses and cattle. We
are rather disappointed at the small
crop of cotton produced in 1880. and
II the valuable time of the planters is
to be taken up in raising sheep, cattle,
hogs, corn, peaches, pears, ETC., there
Will be another failure this year.
There were only about six million two
hundred thousand bales raised last
year, and there should have been
twelve million bales, so it can be seen
we had only little over half crop.
II there had been full crop there
would be enough to last two years and
the producers would have a whole
year for rest. Let us all firmly resolve
TO raise full crop this year-say thir-
teen million bales, then we will have
nothing to do next year but to improve
the country and discuss politics. We
can then turn our attention to rails
ing food supplies, horses, mules, sheep,
grain and fruit.
There is another reason why we
should make a big crop. BY doing it
we will crush out competition in cot
tOn-raising in other parts of the world.
Foreign countries can't stand more
than one crop Of twelve or thirteen
million bales 0f American cotton.
They will be forced to give up the
business and then we will have every
thing our own way
There is another reason. 1t is agreed
all around that we are to encourage
better feeling toward the Yankees. |
If we raise big crops of cotton and |
they produce and manufacture they |
will think ever so much of us. We |
have a better climate 10 raise sheep,
but the Yankees would have just cause
of complaint of us if we awaited our
selves Of our advantages.
To make everything pleasant and
profitable let the South plant for fif-
teen million bales, and If the crop
falls million or so short there will be
no very serious deficiency.

The Administration Commercially
Considered.
Washington Post.


1t is a happy augury for the future
of the country that the leading spirits
of the Administration are pledged to
work for the development of our re-
sources and the promotion of our great
industrial and commercial interests.
IL would be impossible to name three
Republican statesmen more thorough
ly committed TO such a progressive
policy than are President Garfield and
secretaries Blaine and Window.
By his speeches in Crngress, by his
public addresses on various occasions,
by his letter of acceptance and his
inaugural address, the President has
given most hearty assurance of his
earnest desire to build up all our do
nestle industries, and help the coun-
try to step forward in the grand march
of material progress.
More than any other of our public
men, in any party, il Mr.. Blaine iden-
tilted with the popular movement for
restoring our commercial marine, and
our foreign trade. He has spoken on
this subject In the Senate and before
commercial bodies In no uncertain
tone. He may be depended ON to use
the vast influence Of his present po-
sition for the furtherance Of this great
purpose.
The most important of MFR. Win
dom's public services, were those
which he rendered rs chairman of the
Senate Committee on transportation
routes to the seaboard. His reports
and speeches have been Of inestimable
value in supplying data, and awaken
ing interest ON the subject Of water
as the only means of
putting check on the greed of rail-
road monopolies.
The two great wants OF the country
the desiderata that must be attained,
II we are TO have much further devel-
lpment - are more customers and
.sSper transportation for our pro-
ducts. Our foreign trade must be
built up, and we must have greater
for transporting the products
If our industries from producer TO con-
