SGARCARGO AND PRICES

There were two. sales of raw sugar
on the New York market yesterday,
one at AGA and one at Az. This
makes the average price at close, As
affecting Hawaiian values, 4.7O5, How
ever as there are practically no, Hawa-
ian sugars Offering the actual in
huonce of higher prices is only specu-
lative.
Three Magellan cargoes totaling 90,
600 tons are still iafloat. The Kcntuck-
ian with 1900 tons, sailed from Balboa
October 6 and Is, due to arrive at At
lantic ports next Monday. When this
cargo left Hawaii sugar was selling at
4.4O. Hence whether the planters lose
or gain by the delay at Panama will
depend on the course of the market
during the next, seven days
The same applies to the Georgian and
Texan which are due to arrive at New
York, provided TREY maintain schedule
time, about Npvshber 25 and December
10. Sugar was selling at 3.s4 when the
Georgian s cargo left, and at 3.75 when
the Texan sailed,

CHAMBERS VACCINE
NOT SUCCESSFUL

As result of cooperative tests made
by the New York. City board of health
and the United States department OF
agriculture, 1t is stated that the vacci-
nation method previously recommended
for the prevention of CHAMBERS does not
give horses immunity against this dis
ease. ."r'sAg-r
A recent bureau of animal industry
bulletin ON this subject states that
"thc control of CHAMBERS must thore
fore remain dependent upon the con.
ccntration Of efforts to eliminate ia,
fccted horses and the adoption of pre-.
eautions against the Introduction II
infected animals into stables free from
the disease. -
AS in the case of practical control Of
bovine tuberculosis among dairy cattle,
Hawaii has progressed Farther towards
the complete elimination of CHAMBERS
than any of the mainland states. This
result has been due entirely to the
extremely efficient inspection service
maintained by the Hawaiian board of
agriculture and forestry.

.HLUORINE MAY Be

FluOrine is n constant constituent in

is Fertihzing Value
These authorities now state that in
most cases the addition of huorine to
soils promotes rapid growth and seems
in particular to promote flower and
seed production. In few cases fIuOr
Tue was poisonous to crops, and it had
less effect on the grass crops, grains
and cereals than on garden vegetables.
Gauthier is inclined to believe that
nuorine IL constant constituent of

its presence has been ignored by chem
zeal analysis.
The fertilizer experiments with
huorine are only preliminary and no
general rules can be laid down for its

new one. Fluorinc expcr ments are
now being made with cane at the su-

Description And Drawings of First

| Arthur G.. Alexander has kindly loan
ed The Advertiser copy of the "Ha-
waiian Spectator, published in 1889 by
an Association Of Gentlemen" which
contains the following description by
"H.," an author whose identity has
not been determined, of a sugar mill
which was in operation at Waimca
Kauai, in 1897, or 1898. The accom-
ranying drawings of the mill and boil
ing house, which are copied from the

advances made by the Hawaiian sugar
industry in the last seventy eight years

"Some ten or dozen upright posts
supported a straw roof which protected
from the sun the mill, boilers, three @:
I four jaded horses, and score of hogs
which at times seemed to claim a part
of the juice which flowed from the mill
In the center Of the building a heap
of earth was thrown up in which were
implanted two upright posts of rough
granite, their upper ends being hewu
off to something resembling tenor; a
plank extended from one post to the
other having in it two mortlces to re-
ceive the lemons; also, two circular
holes to receive the neeks Of the two
rollers.
These rollers were Of granite, about
two and a half feet in diameter and
two feet high, and were morticed near
the top at proper distances to receive
wooden cogs which, apparently, were
made with no other tool than a broad
axe. 30
Imported Machinery
1.-THE bed of the mill was a granite
slab imbedded in the earth and had in
it two round holes TO receive the lower
necks of the rollers, also, a channel ex
tending from four to five inches round
the rollers, the outlet TO which when
the lump of mud was femovedJ allowed
the juice to flow through gutter un-

taken to select one whose natural crook
should answer the purpose; it was Sc
