Florida Sugar Industry.


Few people comparatively have any
idea of the magnitude of the sugar in
dustry in this State, or of ofthcimportance
which it is destined to holdin ourinternal
economy in the near future. Sugar cane
is grown or can be grown, in all of the
forty-five counties of Florida, and the
syrup which is produced from it forms a
staple article of food in the farmers fami-
ly. besides bringing in no small revenue
in ready money. But cane culture here
tofore has been pursued, like so many
other branches of farming in Florida,
without any scientific knowledge of the
conditions which lead to the best results.
What profit has been derived from it may
in a large measure be attributable to the
evenness of the climate and good luck
But the manufacture of the finer grades
of commercial sugar had never been
thought of until Mr.. Hamilton Disston
and his associates, under the nameof the
Florida Sugar Manufacturing Company
planted several hundred acres of cane at
ST. Cloud in 1888 and put up a mill for
the manufacture of sugar from the crop.
THE ST. CLOUD PLANTATION.
St. Cloud sugar plantation lies On the
shore of East Tohopekaliga lake and on
the line of the ST. Cloud Sugar Belt rail-
way, a few miles southeast of Kissimmee
in Osceola county. The mill was first put
in operation in the winter of 1889, after
an unprecedentedly wet season and before
the waters had fairly subsided. Thefarm
lies on one of the immense tracts ofmuck
lands which, prior to the drainage opera
tiOns begun soon after the Disston pur-
chase in 1882, were overfowed constant
ly, and frequently to the depth of several
feet-so that they were practically lakes
instead Of lands. The soil is posed
almost wholly of decomposed vegeta BILE
matter, and it yields a quality and an
amount of sugar cane which cannot be
equalled anywhere in the world The wet
season of 1889, however, prevented the
cane from secreting the amount of sac
charine juices necessary to a profitable
yield of sugar, SO that the operations OF
that year were notso encouraging as had
been anticipated.
This year Mr.. L. A. Bringier, a Louis
lana planter of long experience and a
practical sugar manufacturer, thoroughly
versed in all the latest methods, was in
duced to leave his retirement at Lake
Harris and to take charge of the MILL He
saw at once that, while thecanal between
the two lakes Tohopekalika had made
arable a vast area of the most fertile
land, this was as yet undrained. He at
once set to work trenching the farm, and
subsequently established two drainage
pumps which can remove the surplus

water at any time and as quickly as de-
sired.
The farm at present has 500 acres de-
voted exclusively to sugar cane. OF this
about sixty acres did not receive the
benefits of Manager Bringier's artificial
drainage early enough in the season, and
the crop of another sixty acres will be
used for planting; so that the total acre
age devoted to sugar manufacture this
year is $50. The cane has grown to an
enormous height, and it's actual yield in
sugar has far exceeded the expectations
of the company.
THE MILL.
L. A. Bringier isgeneral manager Of the
plantation and mill, with numerous as
sistants and the constant services of a
practical chemist, Mr.. D. G. Sutton, also
from Louisiana and sugar expert. The
mill is one Of the most finely equipped in
the United States, and the company is
constantly adding every new device which
can in any way increase the efficiency of
it's operation. The grinding season be-
gan December 5th, and at present not
quite half of the crop has been handled.
The season continues until nearly the
middle of March-and could continue
long er if there was any crop left to work
on.
The great advantage which Florida
possesses over Louisiana as a sugar pro-
ducer lies in the fact that the canes are
not injured by standing-it may remain
uncut until the secretion of sucrose is
complete. There is no dangerfrom frosts
or cold, and the stalk may therefore reach
full maturity. In Louisiana a matured
cane stalk-that is, one in tassel-is prac-
tically unknown. Cutting must commence
in October or early November, because
to begin later would be to invite COM
plete destruction of the crop by freezing.
The cane is, therefore, harvested long be-
fore maturity, and consequently at loss
of much of it's value.
AN IMMENSE BUSINESS.
The ST. Cloud mill has acapacity of $50
barrels of sugar per day. At present,
however, it is turning out only from
eighty to ninety barrels daily, the ma
chinery not being in operation more
than ten hours day on an average.
This is owing to the present difficulty of
securing experienced hands for harvest
ing and for work in the mill. Altogether
the establishment has constantly en-
ployed at present 225 men, this number
including both skilled and unskilled labor.
The cane field begins close to the mill,
and it's furthest confines are nearly two
miles distant. The problem of transpor-
tation had therefore to be solved. AS a
result this immense tract is penetrated
by tramways, over which mules are con-
stantly drawing carloads of cane. The
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-01-29

harvesters use the cane knives common
in Louisiana. Arriving at the mill the
cars are unlOaded onto carrier worked
by an endless chain, which conveys the
juicy stalks into the grinding mill proper
This consists of two sets OF rollers, the
first of which expresses the juice under a
pressure OF $685. 900 pounds; the second
set is the largest one in this country. AS
the residue of the cane passes between the
two huge rollers a pressure is exerted up
on it of 621,O 900 pounds, which leaves
only a dry substance called bagassee.
This is carried forward by the endless
chain arrangement and fed into the fur
mace, where it's combustion is complete.
No other fuel is necessary, except to start
the fires in the morning.
The juice then passes through cham
Der or receptacle, where it is bleached by
being subjected to contact with the fumes
of burning sulphur r-sulphurousgas. Next
comes the concentration Of the juice into
a syrup in vacuo; here it remains in an
immense vat for sixteen or twenty hours
in order that it may properly settle.
After this it is conveyed through pipes Or
channels into the ''strike pans" arranged
in immense cylindrical vats Of iron not
unlike cisterns; here under a temperature
of from 1902 to 1862 the syrup is grained
that is, it begins to take on a granular
form like that of sugar, these grains being
still a part of the syrup. Experts care
ully trained to the work watch the boil
ing syrup and keep testing it constantly
during this process, for a little too much
or not quite enough graining will spoil
the whole mass.
From the "strike pans" the syrup
passes into centrifugal machines beneath,
where the grains of sugar are separated
from the syrup by centrifugal force. This
process is repeated several times, the re-
suit being as follows:
First Grade of Sugar-Pure white, gran
ulated and yellow clarified
Second Grade-Brown sugar.
Third Grade-Brown sugar.
Molasses What remains after the
above sugars have been separated from
the syrup.
FLORIDA'S SUPERIORITY
The above is only superficial glance
at the process of .sugar-making at st.
Cloud. The process is highly interesting,
and many pages might be devoted to a
minute description Of it.
Mr.. D. c. Sutton, the company's chem
ist, has finely fitted up labratory in
connection with the mill and is constantly
engaged in making analysis and scientific
investigation in order to secure the best
results. He keeps minute record OF
every development of interest as the pro-
cess goes on and at the end of each week
makes an exhaustive report thereon.

81 per Annunl, in advance.
Sunday, January 10Th, was the end of
the eighth week, and an almost constant
increase in the yield of sugar per acre has
been noticed from the very first. The
record is as follows:
First week, 2,247 pounds sugar to the acre.
Second week, $500 pounds sugar to the acre.
Third week, 3.24O pounds sugar TO the acre.
Fourth week, 3645 pounds sugar to the
Fifth week, 1854 pounds sugar to the acre.
Sixth week, 4,0O9 pounds sugar to the acre.
Seventh week, 1882 pounds sugar to the acre.
Eighth week. GOAL pounds sugar to the acre.
The best Louisiana planta tiOns yield on
an average only about $500 pounds of
sugar to the acre, the yield of the BowdOn
farm one week last year., 558 pounds =
being considered quite remarkable. The

Mr.. Sutton says that this report will
startle the Louisiana planters when they
come to see it published-and some of
them may dispute it's correctness. But
he is prepared to prove the absolute truth
of every item in this report.
AS yet only very few farmers in the
vicinity of St. Cloud haveengaged in cane
culture. If they would do so more ex-
tensively it would enable the mill to run
at it's full capacity and the sale of cane
to the ST. Cloud company would yield a
handsome revenue to the farmers. Mr..
Bringier says that one man and mule
can cultivate twenty acres of cane. An
acre properly cultivated ought to yield
at least thirty tons of cane. The cane as
it is harvested is worth from 81 to SIS
per ton. Twenty acres with the aid of
one man and mule will therefore bring
the owner in 81, 400 in cash.
you see," explained Mr.. Bringier,
Florida has great advantage. 1t viii!
take two men and three mules to proper
ly cultivate twenty acres of cane in
Louisiana, and the yield will notaverage
over eighteen tons to the acre. Then on
