National Cane Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE Laws OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the HiIo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of it's former
records by closing the 1875
hours grinding with an output
of 3008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by "a in. and the two
roller mill 30 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount Of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to 70 per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
OF cane, and a large part of. it
being hard ratOons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
wPlans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen
