SUGAR MACHINERY

George w Rolfe, continuing his
notes on sugar manufacture in Porto
Rico in the November number OF
American Sugar Industry Magazine,
says:
Cane mills haveeAndergone much
elaboration in recent years. The
coupled type, with twefTe rollers and
crusher, which has reached a high
development in Hawaii, is being ex-
|tensively introduced in Porto Rico
These mills have been specially. de-
signed for the extremely hard and dry
New Caledonia cane which has largely
supplanted the Lahaina cane in Ha,
waii, and with maceration with juice
on the second and third mill and hot
water on. the fourth, these equipments
have given remarkably high eXtrac-
ton under such conditions. These
mills have also shown great efficiency
in Porto Rico on dry, ripe cane, but
under the conditions existing at many
sugar houses their work actually
measured is no better than the nine
roller mills with crusher when. the
latter are properly adjusted This is

self. AS man can not live by bread
alone, nitrogen of itself was not suf-
ficient. H.. -.
Nothing to This
Mr.. Pack spoke of misleading and
sometimes ignorant statements in adj
yertisements of commercial fertili-
zers. Quoting one advertisement
formula he said: Three dead cats
and bucket of potash would be just
as good" The commercial value OF
a fertilizer had no relation to its agri-
cultural value, the former being based
entirely on the cost of the raw ma
terial. 1t was its unit value in fer
tilizing properties that determined the
true cost of the article. The speaker
produced figures showing the con-
stituents of standard fertilizer, and
explained the relation of them to the
unit value. Nitrogen in one adver-
tised formula was quoted as ammonia,
probably because the makers thought
lit would give the article favor with
farmers. There was no ammonia in
nitrate of soda Mentioning the pro-
portion of hydrogen in ammonia, he
said the hydrogen had no more value
as plant foot than the hole in a
doughnut had in sustaining human
life. z.
Relative Values
Probably the more important part
of the address was where Mr.. Peck
told of the relative values of differ
ent fertilizers imported. Where a
low grade article contains $40 pounds
of plant nutriment to given guam
tity, high grade article contains
$40 pounds. but the freight was the
same on both. The cost per. unit of
real fertilizer in a high grade article
was no greater than that in a low
grade article. =. ~. T..
Mr.. Peck in conclusion described
the methods. of the experiment station
in procuring samples of fertilizer
from the plantations, the factories
and shipments from outside. 1t was
impossible to examine samples of all
lots imported, as the force was in
sufficient to do so. Samples were
therefore taken here and there to de-
termine the rebates the manufacturing
companies had to pay for deficiencies
in the essential ingredients. -.
Mr.. Peck was heartily applauded
as he concluded The president
thanked him for the address, saying
it had removed some wrong impress
sions from his own mind.

BIG CITY ATTRACTS
TWO ISLAND GIRLS

with double column pictures of the
two girls) that may be of interest
locally:
Story writer's may pirate Of the
Ilsimple charm, the romance and nat.
ural attractiyeness of life on far,
away isle, but. Katherine Driscoll,
aged IL years, and her sister, Sadie,
sged Is years. passengers arriving at
San Francisco this morning on the
Oceanic steamer Sierra from Homo
lulu, admitted that, after all, too
much of good thing gets on ones
nerves.
The two young ladies are the
daughters of d. w. Driscoll, Master
mechanic of the Maui Agricultural
Company, and they We're born and
reared on the Isle of Maui, second
largest of the Hawaiian group. Their
world up to recent months mas con-
sisted only of plantations, the extinct
volcano of Haleakala and rows of
one-story houses.
The father of the girls left San
Francisco twenty-five years ago. Just
before his departure he seryed.as an
aide to King Kalakaua during the
visit of the island monarch to this
city. He was requested by the king
TO visit him upon the latter's return
to his native islands. A few days
later death overlook the monarch,
and Driscoll arrived at the end of his
journey to find Honolulu plunged in
grief. ..~. ...:
The two girls are intensely inter
ested in the tall buildings, the bust
ling crowds and the fashions adopted
by their sisters in San Francisco.
Their conception of San Francisco at
night has been formed through read
ing. They feel that the bright lights
will transform it into a fairyland.
When. the Sierra locked they We're
the first to scramble down the gang
way and could hardly wait for the
inspection of their baggage on the
wharf.
"Oh!" exclaimed the eldest with a
note Of eagerness. Il just know We
will see such wonderful things in San
Francisco! Father has told us all
about the city, but there must have
been many changes since he left
here"
