Inc aCtentlon or Plan srS
and Agents is called to tae
following letter from SIR.
JOHN A. SCOTT, Manager of
the Hilo Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which be has
just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAINAKU, HILo, HAWAII,
January 22d, 1S94.l
HoN. Va. G. IRWIN, HoNoLULU, ii. L.
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours of IL .
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg TO say, that il has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more l see of
its capabilities, the better pleased am
that put it in, as | am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in a short
time. in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity If necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives il
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four "a men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. 1t has
increased the extraction from 4 to
5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But / find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. xne
makes superior fuel, and the fireAA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
/ will be pleased to have call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 10
see the machine at work TO fully app e.
ciate its capabilities.
/ remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.

q The disorganized state Of the horse
market has led to considerable attention
being paid of late to mule raising The
general impression that mule is worth
Hess than horse is not borne out by
statistics, the recent census showing
4hat, on the contrary, the mule averages
Isl more than its rival. There would
appear to be money i'll mule raising at
present. Not only is there steady mar
lket for them i'll tho south and west,
where they are highly valucd-tho state
lof Texas alone having over 200, 600
hut there is also an increasing demand
for good mules for export, which has
given an impetus to tho trade.
The size of tho mule to raise for use
lin the west and south is from 14l% to
16 hands in height. In some sections
great care has been exercised in import
ing and breeding animals of fine quail
ty, tho result being q superior product.

Steadily On.

The Work OF Improving the Highways Goes
Steadily On.
Tho business of building stone roads
In New Jersey has become a fixed one
and the state commissioner, Edward
burroughs, has opened an office in the
statehouse, where he will give his un-
divided attention to the subject Of stone
road building. He has practically been
ut tho head of the industry for several
years. but not in the way that he is now.
The new law passed by the legislature
places him at the head of the road i'm
provcments and gives him power to ap-
point road supervisors and to make
awards for road building.
Tho state appropriation amounts to
S75, 900. The $500 which the state
gives to assist road building will ON an
average, pay the states part for the
building of about SO miles. This is
what was accomplished last year and
what will probably BIO accomplished this
year.
Road building has been going OH in
Burlington, Camden and Mercer coun-
ties. What will be given out this year
Is not yet known, because both Mercer
e'dN Dui liuBtUIl are DllllulDR ROADS, ana
1t is not known how much they will
complete within the fiscal year. 1t is
thought that Mcrcer's share this year
will DO about $40, 600, and until these
counties are fixed no appropriation can
be made for next yoar, as the counties
are to be considered in tho order in
which their petitions were cecoived.
There arc number Of counties wait
ing to get some of this appropriation.
Atlantic, Gloucester, Morris, Essex,
Union, Somerset and Camden counties
have placed petitions for aid on file, but
Morris and Essex have withdrawn their
petitions and will do their road build
ing under the county act. This is be-
cause they cannot wait until it is their
turn to get part of tho states money,
not understanding at the time that they
would have to take their turn.

Distribute tho Expense.
In @ recent interview in the Pittsburg

OF pennsylvania was enthusiastic over
the English roads and hopeful for better
roads in this country. Referring to no
cent trip abroad he said:

Heretofore i'll trying to get road leg
tslation the city members have been
holly opposed by the Legislators from
the back counties, all of whom had
their own ideas on tho subject and
voted 6olidly against change. My plan
is to got up bill which will not affect
the country fellows, but will give the
go ahead counties chance
1t should be general bill, providing
an entire scheme Of building roads in
all parts of tho state, but it would be
imperative In counties which were I'M
der special OF local road laws Then it
would only DO necessary to repeal tho
local or special Laws as to any county
to get tho general law into operation in
that county. and no county would need
to repeal its local laws until it was
ready.
This plan would require tho cost Of
bodybuilding to be paid out Of the ooun-
ty treasury. No other way is feasible,
because the townships arc not rich
enough to bear tho expense
BY having it done ut the county's OK
pcnse tho increase in county taxes would
be trihing. In few years we would
have good roads all over the county
Tho benefit would be general. Property
all over the county would become much
more valuable, population would be at
racted to us, the farmers would be ell
abled to got their products to tho cities
at all seasons of the year, and many
other benefits would be sure to follow.
My idea would be to have the road
