hurting or scratching it. After the
skin is broken the beans are carried
10 a second yentilatOr, in which the
shells are taken off like the chaff in a
threshing machine. \ fan blows the
chaff off and the grains flow down
through the trough TO the separator.
The grains are now of a light olive
green color. They must be separated
and graded before they are shipped.
The little round seeds which came
from the small berries on the ends of
the stalks will go into one grade and
will be sold in our American markets
as Mocha straight from Arabia; anoth-
er size will be classed as Java, and the
well-known Mocha and Java which
you mix will possibly have come from
the same stalk This is no fiction.
The Brazilian coffee lis among the best
of the world and vast quantities of it
are consumed every year as genuine
Mocha and Java. Other kinds of grains
will be classed according to their
grades, and from every lot five differ
ent grades-are made.

OVER THE PLANTATION.


But Mr.. Hammond is ready with the
special engine to take us on a trip
over the plantation. 1t is an Ameri-
can locomotive, made in Delaware,
We jump on and are carried for miles
through this great coffee garden. In
front and behind us, as far as we can
see, there are long lines Of green
bushes. There are vast areas to the
right and the left, all coffee. Look
down the road. See how the lines of
bushes run on and on, growing smaller
and smaller until they come together
/ Notice the bushes in that field over
there. They are not as high as your
knee. Those trees have only been
planted a year. and the others further
on in the little holes with chips and
sticks over them have been there only
a month.
/ How green everything is, The cot
fee leaves seem to have been VarniSh-
ed. There is no green in nature so
beautiful as that of the coffee trees
and the contrast of the background of
red soil throws the green out, making
it seem more beautiful still.
Then turn your back to the engine
and look about you. We are now on
the hill and we can see the whole earth
spread out in great waving mantle
of green through which here and there
run. stripes of bright red, the roads.
What principa1ity!
Notice these little green buds on
that plant. They surround the joints
of the branches like a necklace just
over the leaves. Later on they will be
red berries and later still will be turn
ed into the coffee of commerce, and

Will furnish a liquor which will be
drunk on the bOulevards of Paris and
IN the drawing rooms OF Washington.
Within the last ten years great
changes have taken place in coffee
growing in Brazil. Formerly every
thing was done by slaves, who worked
under oVerseers and who put in some
thing like fifteen hours a day. Each
planter had his own gang of negroes.
The overseer called them at 4 o'clock
and marched them to the coffee fields
Their meals were brought TO them
there, and they are kept in the fields
until about O'Clock in the evening.
Now that the slaves are emancipated
the most Of them have left the coffee
regions. and Italians have been import
ed to take their places. The Iaborers
on the DumOnt fazenda are nearly all
Italians. and l am told they make far
better workmen than the negroes.

cost as much as $4,000. In the first

GETTING THE CIR AIMS.

The above seems quite lot of work
for such little thing as a coffee bean?
Yes, but the preparing the bean for the
market has hardly begun. The ber-
ries as they come from the trees are
of the size and color of dark red cher
ries. The grains or beans which we
use to make coffee are the seeds inside
the cherries. Each large cherry has
two seeds, the fat sides resting one
against the other with a soft pulp
about them. Others have only one lit
tie round seed, just like the Mocha cof-
fee of commerce.
The pulp must first be taken off. To
do this, the berries are thrown into a
hopper. and run through cylinders
which squash the pulp without injur-
ing the grains. They are reduced to a
mush of pulp and coffee seeds. This
mixture is carried over a long copper
cylinder which is about two feet in
diameter. The cylinder is filed with
holes each big enough so that a coffee
bean can pass through it. AS the mush
falls on to the cylinder the beans go
through the holes into it and are car
ried into a canal of flowing water be
low the cylinder. Upon this they float
off into receiving tanks or watts.

for the market, and it has also offices
in which there are bookkeepers taking
account of every item OF expense. so
that they can tell you almost to a tree
how much coffee each Of the 5000 900
trees is producing and every item con-
nected with the picking of it and send
ing 1t to the seapOrts.
The laborers on the estate are tho
roughly organized. Each man has his
own work, the employees being man
aged by administrators who have
charge of blocks of trees ranging from
900 900 down. In the work the trees
are divided among families, each
family taking charge of 5000 or 1000
trees, planting them and keeping them
clean. AT picking time all the en-
ployes are set to work gathering the
coffee berries and bringing them to
the cars. One man can pick enough
berries in a day to make about fifty
pounds of coffee. At picking time there
are train loads of coffee berries NOV
ing to and fro from the fields to the
factories, and within a few weeks TO-
900 bags of coffee ibeans are shelled
out, dried and shipped.

HOW TREES ARE GROWN.

Before taking you on a trip over the
estate let me tell you how coffee is
grown. Few people have any idea how
much work it takes to produce the cup
which they have with their breakfast.
In the first place, the trees have been
sprouted in seed beds, the beans being
sOWn much like We SOW peas. Only
the best coffee beans are chosen for
this purpose When the coffee plants
are about eighteen months old they
have grown a foot high. They are
then taken up and planted deep in the
ground, being shielded with leaves or
sticks. They grow very fast, being
plowed and hoed and kept clean.
At three or four years of age the
coffee tree begins to have fruit. Lit
tie red berries the size and color of a
cherry come out close to the branches,
hanging to them much like a plum.
They continue to have fruit from this
time for twenty or thirty years, and
some trees will keep on producing for
forty or fifty years. A good tree
should produce four pounds annually,
and a we'll cared for coffee plantation
should be good for at least thirty
years.
The coffee begins to blossom in Sep
TENDER and in April or May the ber-
ries are ripe and the picking begins.
The berries are picked into baskets
which the pickerS carry on their backs
Each is paid 50 much for the amount
picked, and hundreds of men, women
and children are employed.

AMONG THE SORTERS.

One of the most interesting sights
on the plantation to me was the fac
tory in which the women were sorting
the different grades in order to pick
out the bad seeds. Come with me and
look at it. We are in vast room fill
ed with Italian girls of all ages, from
ten to twenty and upward. They sit at
long tables, at the backs of which are
boxes of green coffee seeds.
Just opposite each girl is little
opening in the box, out of which she
pulls handfuls of the olive hued grains
and spreads them out on the table be-
fore her. She looks them carefully
over, picks out such as are bad and
throws them into a box at the right,
sweeping at the same time the good
grains through hole in the table so
that they fall into a bag, which is
fastened beneath and which hangs
there between her knees.
Some of the girls are quite pretty
They have the large eyes and the
bronze rosy faces of NeapOlitan peas
ants. They have gay handkerchiefs
tied about their heads, and as you en-
ter their great dark eyes look at you.
AS soon as the bag is full it is carried
away by men to the sewers, who fast
en- it up ready for shipment
At the back of the room are great
tanning and cleaning machines,
through which coffee of the various
grades is running in a steady stream.
A noise like that of a grist mill fills
the room, and burning coffee titillates
your n0strils with an appetiZing odor.
1t comes from the rear of the building.
Let us go there and learn what they
are roasting. Outside we see a great
stack of the parchment hull chaff. This
is being used as fuel for the engine.
1t is the burning of the coffee chaff
which causes the smell
