the first OF December To the first of
the first place that each month of the
grinding season produces it's own
crop OF mature cane. Here Is a group
of fields where the new crop has just
sprOuted; over yOnder another group
where the cane is half grown; and
on farther is a group where harvest
ing operations are in full swing.
How the Crop is Harvested.
In harvesting, the cane-cutters first
strip the blades from the stalk; then
they cut off the upper part of the
latter, which is worthless except for
replanting, since what juice il con-
tains possesses very little sugar One
Of the strange things about sugar-cane
is that the sap Of the growing plant
has little sugar. while in the mature
stalk the juice Is rich In sucrose. The
transform glucose into sucrOse-a
transformation that cannot be accom-
plished by human means. II man
knew how to do that, every cornfield
would be a sugar field.
The main body of the stalk is cut
down and loaded into the ox-carts.
In these IL is hauled to the field sta
ton and placed in the waiting cars.
Each car contains about twenty tens
and each train is made up of thirty
10 the trainlOad, and eight 10 ten
trainloads a day are required TO keep
one of the bigger centrals In opera
ton for "a hours. The big United
Fruit central at Preston requires the
crop from $50 acres every day TO
keep 1t busy. Imagine field three
fifths of mile square being harvest
ed between sunup and shutdown TO
keep one central going
At the mills the cars of cane are
dumped on an endless belt which car
rles it TO the crushing rolls. Each
set Of rolls the cane passes through
presses II harder than the one before.
The last set may exert a pressure Of
a million pounds, and when the
"bagasse," as the crushed cane lis
called. issues from them ii is almost
as dry as finder. II is carried by con
veyOrS TO the fire-bOXes Of the boilers
where IL is used as fuel in generating
the steam that drives the big mills
and bOilS the cane juice The stream
OF crushed cane flows through the
last set Of rolls at a speed of seven
miles day.

Making the Sugar.

After the Juice is freed OF sediment
il is pumped in the evaporators. where
about half OF the water is boiled out
of it,
The next step in the making OF
sugar is 10 draw the thick juice into
the vacuum pans. Here il comes into
contact with hot steam coils and bOils
at very low temperature because Of
the absence OF atmospheric pressure.
As the boiling proceeds. the sugar
crystalIizeS into small grains.
The sugar and the adhering strip
are finally removed to centrifugal
machine that acts somewhat on the
principle Of cream separator.
Placed inside a perforated basket
and whirled around at from 1000 10
I 400 revolutions a minute. all Of the
strip is forced out through the per
forations. while the cryStallized sugar
remains behind
This strip is boiled again and the
process is repeated until all the avail
able sweetness has been extracted.
The remaining liquor is the black
strap" molasses Of commerce.

DOG HATERS CALLED DOWN"
Writer in New York Newspaper Says
Some Harsh Things About Enc

not as they should be, and then Sc
cured a prompt turning in of a fire

AT rare intervals a case of rabies
develops. With this as a basis the
dog haters have secured a code whose
severity is such that once in IL while
it naturally breaks down some dogs

patience exhausted and his temper
frayed, he bites anything, no matter
justification, he is thrown into Jail

this, there is a constant cutlery for
a practical determination of the spe-
cies, with only enough left to pro-
vide raw material for vi~visectiOnists.
Yet if a score were kept showing

lives mans devoted servitor has saved
and in another the number in any
wise lost through him, the disprOpor-

be one wherein life insurance rates
would be raised.
