National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS nv

1ne aUCentlOn or PIan' orS
and Agents is called to ne
following letter from sir.
JOHN A. SCOTT, Manager of
the Hilo Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAINAKU, Hno, HAWAII,

DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours of Il o
16th 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,
Iwould beg to say, that il has now been
in operation day and pight during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving ME the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see of
its capabilities, the better pleased l am
that put it in, as l 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 it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or diSintegrated it relieves the mill OF q
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four az 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 a 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 tho shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
pore 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 Ane
makes superior fuel, and the fireA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
i will be pleased to have call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 20
see the machine at work to fully app. G
