One Of the children replied: Father.

MICROBES IN RAW SUGARS.
Important Discoveries Brought out
by an Investigation in Louisiana.


by an Investigation in Louisiana.
From the New York Sun.
New Orleans, Dec. 25.-The bacteriologi-
cal and microscopic department of the
Louisiana agricultural station at Audubon
Park, New Orleans, has been making an
investigation TO ascertain the cause of the
failure of The Louisiana sugar cane crop.
Not a few Of the failures in sugar yield
which were believed to be due to meteoro-
logical or climatic conditions havd been
traced to microbes.
One of the first discoveries stumbled on
by the PSYCHOLOGISTS was the cause Of the
deterioration Of crude sugars, especially
those imported from Cuba and Hawaii. 1t
has been noticed that these sugars almost
Invariably show a falling off of one or
more points in polarization within a few
weeks after shipment. As the reduction of
each degree in polarization means a loss
of one pound to the hundred weight The
matter is one of considerable commercial
Importance. careful examination with
the microscope disclosed the fact that all
sugar which showed falling off in polar
Z Hation was swarming with bacteria. The
investigation was continued, until the bac-
terra WnlCn caused the damage We're $50
lated. The mlcrobe has not yet been
named, but il the bacteriologists succeed
in demonstrating all they hope 10, they
win be able not only to show the cause OF
the deterioration in raw sugars, but also
to devise a method whereby the ravages
Of the bacteria can be very materially di-
minished.
Another fact discovered by the investga-
ton is that mould which appears in the
ends of slubble cane is due to bacteria,
and is the cause of the failure of the stub
bic to grow. The lower buds, from which
the second years growth Develops derive
their sustenance from the nutritWe mat
ter stored directly around them in the
base of the stalk; and the supply is dam
aged by fermentation produced by the mi
crobes in the mould The buds do not ger
inmate, and the stubble is therefore fail
ure. The discovery of this germ is of
practical benefit, because a remedy has
been found. BY running a furrow so as
10 cover up the cut ends of the stubbie
they are protected from the bacteria and
cannot be injured by the microbes
While the examination has not gone far
enough 10 determine the cause of the fail
ure of this years cane crop, there is every
reason to believe from what has so far
been disclosed that this mystery also Will
be solved.
