Revolution in Cane Sugar Making.
New Orleans letter.

One of the largest sugar plantations
and the most expensive in point of labor
and paraphernalia, is that of Ex-Governor
Henry c. Warmoth, in the parish OF
PlaQuemines He has devoted years of
personal study to simplifying labor and
reducing the cost of production on his
place. and now it is formally announced
nc has been singularly successful BY
the use of shredder, which he had made
to order, he was enabled 20 increase the
product of juices largely over any former
exhibit, and he states that had he known
how to handle the shredder at
first as he learned by experience later he
would have made $3.50, 900 more on his
crop than he did. AS 1t was he was en-
abled to produce 1875 pounds of sugar
from ton ~of cane, where at the begin
ming of the season, he only obtained 1873
pounds and where he got only an aver
age OF 143 pounds in 1888.
Government experts have spent some
weeks on the plantation, and are now
preparing their report, which will, no
doubt, produce quite sensation when
given to the public. 1t will show that
Tor 100 years the Louisiana planters have
been merely experimenting in sugar
taking, and that not till now have they
armed how to- separate the juice from
tle pagasse and produce the sugar in
earnest.
The Current: 1t is a common thing to
say patent nestrim has been advertised
into success; but more men than metlf.
clnes nave been made the same way.

We have heard some complaint
made by the residents in the neighbor-
hood of Drew's mill in regard to boys
bathing in the Lake during the day
time. Boys should be permitted to
battle and learn to swim, so should
girls but there are times and places
in which such sport is admissible.
Our boys do not mean to be ugly by
committing this Inisdemeanor, and we
hope they will be more particular in
the future and repair to some more
secluded spot when they wish to re-
fresh themselves with bath.

Business in town, just at present,
is rather dull and money matters are
tight, but the present outlook for good
crops this year induces US to believe
that our people will be able to pull
through without any serious effects or
great amount of want. The same
state of affairs as we are experiencing
here in Lake Charles exists through
out the whole country, and this of
itself should Undue our people with
renewed energy and console them in
whatever depriVations they may have
TO contend with, oecasioned by the
present depressed condition of every
branch of trade. We of Caleasieu
are much better off than many thOn-
sands in other sections, as our soil is
productive and scarcely ever tails 10
yield enough for seIf-support, and our
prairies are filled with thousands Of
fat beeyes, which brings into or
parish yearly thousands of dollars,
to say nothing Of our vast numbering
interests.
