cylinders called centripetals where
the molasses is separated by the
same force which ope rates in the
cream separator. The centripetals
revolve one thousand times per
minute. A difference exists be-
tween these and the cream seper-
ators: the centripetal crylinder is
finely perforated and the molasses
is thrown out through these perfer-
atoms aud caught by a large enclos-
ing cyliner The cylinders are about
three feet deep and thirty inches in
diameter.
When the sugar is sufficiently well
dried, it is.dropped to the floor by
opening the bottom of the cylinder.
It is shoveled into sacks by work
men clad almost as Mother Nature
clothed them. The sacks are weigh
ed as filled and contain about one
hundred pounds each. They are
sewed by women and then loaded
into cars by the men in undress
costume. The molasses from the
centripetal is carried in pipes to
tanks where it is left until it begins
to granulate. Then it is brought
back and again run through the
centripetals, more sugar being
secured. The first sugar produced
is number one, this is number two.
and third separation produces
number three.
This is one Of about forty planta-
tons on the island. 1t produced in
1900 twenty seven thousand tons OF
sugar, and in 1901 about thirty
three thousand tons. Each years
crop sold in San Francisco for two
million dollars or more. The coffee
and the rice plantations add very
much to the wealth Of the islands
also. In proportion to the popula-
ton, the commerce is greater than
that of any portion of the world.
It is situated directly in the line Of
travel from the Isthmian canal

HARD AND FAST RULE.

When passing the plate for a
second helping of meat, be sure tc
leave both knife and fork on the
plate and placed neatly together al
one side. Another hard and fast
rule concerning knives and forks is
to put them together side by side
not crossing each other when the
course is finished
Remember that crosses, olives,
and celery are all to be eaten with
the fingers. They should be placed
on the bread and butter plate, not
the large plate. Fish in this country
is properly eaten with a fork, and a
morsel of bread held in the left
hand. In foreign countries both
knife and fork are brought into
service. For fresh fruit silver
bladed knife should be used
After seating yourself at the
table unfold your napkin and place
it open cornerwise across your lap.
Do not tuck it into your collar like
a baby's bib. Another point to
observe is not to sit on the edge of
the chair at the table, nor sidewise
nor with the back resting contin-
uously against the chair back. An
easy upright position sitting both
feet on the floor and far enough
back from the table to use the knife
and fork without awkardness, is the
correct and graceful one.-Conley g

THE SWEARING HABIT.

Significant as it was timely and
impressive was the recent protest of
the Roman Catholics of Booklyn
against blasphemy. Twenty thous-
and members of the Holy Name
society took part in the demonstra-
ton, one feature Of which was mass
meetings in the churches at which
addresses were made by the vicar
general of the Brooklyn diocese and
other clergymen dwelling upon the
evil of blasphemy and the need of a
higher feeling Of reverence for
divine things. It is a deplorable
fact that the silly and vicious
practice of using profane language
of the worst sort on any and all
occsion seems to be on the increase
among men Of all ages and classes,
and particularly among young boys,
It is only necessary to listen for few
moments to the casual nve1sation
of boys an young men who congre-
gate on the street corners and other
public places, to be aware of this.
The practice IS not only silly but
vicious and degrading to the last
degree, and parents, religious lead
ers and teachers, and all others who
have oversight and guidance of the
young cannot too strongly reprobate
and discourage the habit, No man
who would have the least respect of
those whose respect is worth having
will indulge in blasphemous langu-
age, no matter whether he has any
religious scruples or not. It is never
the mark of a gentleman any way.

THE GEM OF THE PACI FIG.
Concluded By G. ". Hall.

The land on the plantation IS
accurately measured and account
is kept Of the product Of each acre.
The average weight Of stalks per.
acre is nearly eighty-tive tons. The
leaves from an acre are occasionally
weighed and estimates have been
made 80 that it is known that more
than one hundred tons Of vegetable
matter are grown to the acre. This
makes it the most productive plan
tation In the world.
The cane grows to height of
twelve or fifteen feet and requires
eighteen months to mature. It is
twice stripped of leaves and then
cut. For getting the stalks to the
mill, narrow tracks and small cars
are used. Eva has twenty -four
mile of stationery and seven mile of
movable track. The movable track
is laid from the main line out across
the fields within easy reach of any
part of the field where cutting is
being done. Mules are used to draw
the loaded cars to the main lines and
small engine draws the trains to
the mill. When the cars reach the
mill they are drawn, one by one,
under the outer sheds and unloaded
by means of an endless chain pro-
vided with long fingers. AS the
stalks fall from the cars they drop
upon an endless carrier and elevator
which takes then to the crushing
rollers. Then stand two boys with
cane knives, cutting off all project
ing stalks an guiding the ever NOV
ing stream down into the crushers.
Then there are three sets Of rollers
for pressing out the juice.
These rollers are about five feet
long and two feet in diameter and
each set consists Of two lower and
one upper roller. The first set, by
hydraulic force is made to exert
pressure of one huLderd seventy
tons; the second set, one hundred
eighty tons; and the third set, one
hundred ninety tons. This leaves
but little moisture in the pulp.
The pulp is carried to drying
shed where it passes between heated
rollers and is made thoroughly dry.
This dried pulp is then used as fuel
and produces all the steam for rum
ing the machinery and for boiling
the juice.
The juice, after passing through
several sleeves to remove pieces of
pulp, is conveyed through pipes to
the CHARTERS, huge iron tanks hold
ing one thousand gallons each.
These are heated to one hundred
sixty degrees and the impurities in
scum and settings are removed.
Next then is ..series of four i'm
mense boilers with a capacity of
three hundred fifty thousand gallons
When the syrup in these becomes of
certain consistency it is drawn off
and conveyed to vacuum pans.
Over these pans or boilers there is a
series of three drums which the
steam from the boiling syrup enters.
Into the last drum is thrown a jet of
cold water to condense the steam
quickly. This forms more orless of
a vacuum over the syrup and causes
it to boil at one hundred forty in
stead of two hundred twelve degrees.
As soon as the syrup is sufficient
" granulated, it is run off into a
great trough and passed into

a FEED PROBLEM SOLVED.
How TO Render the Entire Corn Crop
Valuable.

st. Louis Globe Democrat:
Mechanical invention is doing for
the corn belt farmers now what
! it has been doing for the cotton
raisers for the past ten years, viz:
saving them thousands of dollars
by turning into valuable and
marketable product portion Of
the crop formerly thought to be
worthless
For a good many years men
have relied that there was a
fortune for him who would find
some way Of turning corn stalks
to some account. There have
been several uses found to which
they could be put--as in the case
of the cellulos makers etc, ETC.,
but not one Of them, or rather
not all of them put together could
save thousandth part of what
went to waste. This waste is
ended.
The corn was husked out of the
fields in the fall and then cattle
or horses turned in later on in an
effort to get little feed out of
the stocks, It generally requires
fifteen acres oil 'sstalk field" to
carry an animal through the wir-
ter, and then he looked like a
scare crow when 1t WAS over; he
could eat off the blades and bits
Of husk, and they afforded him
the only nutrition available. In
the spring the stocks were in the
way, and had to be raked or
burned or cut before the ground
could be put IN shape for another
crop. The corn stalk was a mus
sance. The men who were try
ing to get the good out Of It BY
feeding, however were on the
right track, and they found out 4
good many years ago that # the
corn was cut early in the fall,

lis hard to estimate, and the only
way of getting at it is to give
some approxin ate figures.
The acreage ofcorn in the coun-
try is seldom below $4,000, 900
acres. Counting that one half
only of this acreage is handled
with view of saving the stalks
the saving then will run away up
into the millions Of dollars every
year, and will certainly enhance
the price Of corn producing lands.
For every acre of stock will easily
make two tons of this shredded
hay, which is worth within dol
lar ton of what cloyer will briug
1t costs, even with the new aud
high priced shredding machinery
only 81 an acre to get it run
through, and as the corn is husk-
ed at the same time, there is an
actual saving of labor by shred
ding, even if the feed were thrown
away. Even when feed IS low in 1
price, the value thus saved will
easily amount to 81 per acre, and
/ a year like this it is nearer worth
$40.
