Primitive MIIIs In Brazil.

Vice-Consul De Young, writing from Santos.
calls attention to the small corn grinding ma.
chimes In Brazil:
In the interior Of Brazil primitive method
of producing cornmeal by pounding instead OF
grinding is practiced. The instrument known
as 'mojollo' works automatically, and consists
OF tree trunk balanced on the bank OF q
stream. one end of the trunk being hollow ed
out to form large cup. while the other end ia
in the form of pestle. Water nlling the cup
depresses that end Of the log, whereupon the
water runs out and the other end falls back to
its original position. the pestle striking the
corn. Some modern corn grinders have recent
ly been introduced. but there is a good field
for very small and inexpensive grinder to
take the place of the 'mojollo' in the interior,
where -four mills are rare and each family
grinds its own corn"

Attention Farmers!
Electric Power For Pumping.

Wi bout water your fertile valley lands are dormant,
fail to respond to most Industrious cultivation and con-
tinues TO tenaciously hold the hidden wealth locked with
in the soil. With water the same fertile lands are no
longer dormant and no longer fail to respond to indus
trious cultivation, but will bring forth wealth in a most
generous manner. Golden fields of grain, green fields OF
alfalfa and acres of orchard will appear where now the
lands are barren. This is the law of nature. To elevate
the water from les present level to the level OF your lands
at the lowest cost so the lands may be irrigated is the
problem confronting you. The solution of the problem
is the use of electric power for pumping.
Electric power is the cheapest power for pumping and
ali power purposes for the farmer aud all power users.
Ii is not only the cheapest, but Is the safest and the most
reliable and convenient power that can be used. In addi-
ton, it is the only power that can be applied directly at
the point where the power is wanted, viz: AT the pump
shaft, with direct connection TO the shaft, saving the
large loss of power due to friction in betting, pulleys and
shafts. We are ready to demonstrate the truthfullness of
these statements to all Corners
We are prepared to furnish power for the irrigation
of 10000 acres of land the coming season and will in
crease our plant capacity as the business demands.
Lines will be extended for a distance of 20 miles from our
power plant where the business warrants the expense OF
construction. We art not justified in mourning the cost
of line construction and other necessary expense unless at
least 5000 acres will use electric power the coming
season.
We will not ask the farmer to subscribe for any of
our stock, or to contribute or donate to us, or to he at
any other expense than the cost of the line from the main
transmission line along the public highway over his prem
Uses to his pumping station, the necessary pump and
motor equipment for his well and a concrete weir for
measuring the water. The contract must. however, be
in such form as to follow the land regardless of change OF
ownership.
Those interested are requested to call at our office or
write, furnishing the following information:
~ Name and Post Office address.
ca Number of acres owned.
(3) Number of acres to be irrigated.
a. Location aud description of land.
(5) Size of well and actual or estimated flow and
length of well casing. If well is to be drilled so
state and when it will be completed.
(6) Distance water is to be elevated.
Cd Distance from our power plant to land along
public highways.
(S) Names and addresses of others who require and
now want power for pumping.
Remember it takes time to construct lines and make
installations and it is only a few months until you will
need the water. If you are interested you should act at
once.

SOME FACTS ABOUT MOLAssEs.
(Psper read by Mr.. H A. Tempauy, B. Sc,
before the Agricultural and Commercial
Society, June Z, 1900
Antiana Nelcs Notes.

The purpose of the following remarks is
Go indicate briefly a few Of the more I'M
portant features aud properties Of molassos.
It is thought tn It they will be particularly
pertinent having regard to the importance
chat this production has assumed Of late in
the sugar industry.
The present price of Antique m%o'4sses,
though it has been eqaalled before, has new
or in the past been so high relatively to the
concurrent price of sugar. This value has
been reached by steady rises during several
years, and there has at no time been any
thing in the nature of a slump. Thus It's
reasonable to conclude that the market is a
stable one and awe have an interesting IN
stance of a fact which has been illustrated
often in other Industries, namely, that OF the
attainment of q value by a by-product much
greater than that of the substance which 1t
was the original purpose Of the industry to
produce. That such a state OF affairs may
arise is, of course, chiefly a matter OF de
mand, aud this in the case Of molasses has
arisen mainly through the wants OF lumber
men and fishermen on the North American
Continent. The immediate effect OF TINS
demand has been to make the value OF cane
sugar in molasses more than one amt q hAt
times az great as It's value in muscovado

of the utmost Importance to all who are in
torested in the conversion of the contents Of
the sugar cane into a marketable product.
Molasses may be defined as the visoous
solution containing sugar and various impu-
mites left after gu gar has been crystalllE3d
from evaporated juice or from a sugar solu-
ton. 1t is possible to obtain further sugar
from this product, which is known as first
molasses, by re boiling, but eventually 8
