many advantages over the belt driven
machines. Granulators are used Only in
a few factories.
Preservation of Sugar IN Storage or
Transit.-Clcanliness In al departments,
careful clarificatioE Of the juice and
watChfuluess to prevent incip.cut fer
mentation In the sugar house. this and
careful drying OF the sugar before pack
ing. will usually be found sufficient to
prevent deterioration. II has been sug-
Ecstsd to dis!nfect the packing material
and to protect the sugar as much as pos
T
when stored or in transit. 1t has been
found that the aikal!nity of sugar does
not affect It's keeping qualities.
/ Utilization OF Waste Products. The
value OF press cake as a fertilizer has al
ready been brought to your attention In
the report on Manufacture of 1899.
Bagasse as Fuel.-Excellent results
have been obtained by burning the ba-

value OF hagasse as IL comes from the
mills as compared with good coal is as
follows:
] S.3I tons of bagasse, containing 4G.5N
per cent moisture equals one ton of coal.
AZ tens Of h1Sasse, containing 81 per
cent of moisture, equals one ton of coal.
"'Mr. Hubert Edison of Louisiana pro-
poses to use the heat of the chimney
gases to dry the bagasse before using,
and in this way effect a saving of Is
/ per cent in its fuel value.
! The process CT making paper from ba-
gasse at large mill in Texas il de-
scribed in the Louisiana Planter of Oc-
tober 5: Eight million pounds of paper
were made from 400O0,O0O pounds of ba-
gassC. The paper sells at . cents per
pound, making the value of this product
100000. The cost of manufacture is not
given, but that it pays is shown by the
fact that mills in Louisiana Will shortly
add this branch of manufacture to their
establishments
The day may not be far distant whom
sugar will he shipped in containers made
from bagasse, and having greater
strength than those now used, and with
air and water proof qualities
! Molasses as Food for Live Sock-The
value of sugar as food has been well
demonstrated by numerous experiments
made in Europe and America The val
| uc Of molasses as "A food for live stock
should not be overlooked. '"in Germany
molasSes is prepared az food for cattle
by heating it up to 80 degrees ana then
introducing it in a steady stream into a
mechanical mixer, at the same time the
forage with which the molasses is to be
Incorporated IS also fed into the ma

are wheat straw. corn, etc.

A food for stock has been made by
grinding cornstalks to powder, mixing
this with molasses, and then pressing 1,
into cakes by means of q hydraulic press
1t can then be shipped as easily as balec
hay. For feeding it IL .-ken up ant
mixed with water
lasses to horses have been made by tn,
Colonial Sugar Refining Company. ant
the ration recommended for animals
weighing 1,200 pounds is fifteen pounds OF
molasses, three pounds bran and -four
pounds maize per day with all the cane
tops they will eat.
This system of feeding is endorsed by
DR.. Dalrymple, the most prominent vet.
erinarian in Louisiana.

The process of working cane sugar mo-
lasses Is essentially the same as for bee
sugar molasses. The molasses is diluted
with water and calculated with sulphuric
acid until it will slightly redden litmus
paper The process in a large distillerH
in France is as follows: $40 lbs. Of
molasses are taken for each fermentni
vat of 4l,sA gallons capacity. which give.
to the mash a concentration of about /
per cent. To this is added sufficient mo
lasses lees. which increases the conccn
tration about 8 per cent The mass /!
brought to fermentation with beer yeas
at a temperature of 6S degrees TO II de
grees +. Fermentation is extremely VIC
lent and produces in the extraordnarill
large quantity Of mash fermenting IL
one vat such an increase in tempera
ture as to necessitate the cooling of th
: fermenting mass by cold water circulat
the center of the vat. The temperature
must never rise above 93.2 +. Should tn
commencement of fermentation lie delay
ed the temperature can be raised by tn
circulation of warm water through tn
: serpentine pipes.
Fermentation is generally considerc,
complete in As hours, and the yield /
given as 1876 gallons of ~ per cent alec
