The cane is planted in the form of slis and allowed to grow eighteen months before a crop is harvested. Tt then may, be cut ar for three vears when the loose stalks are burned off and the land plowed for anothef crop. It is harvested by men equipped with knives or machetes of nearly three feet in length. Hundreds of the reapers, wielding the knives, cut into | ficlds which present an impene- trable jungle to man unless he is cauipped with a knife. They strip and throw the juicy stalks into heaps leaving the long leaves where thay fall. In carrying the cane to the mills a queer mixture of ancient and modern implements are used. Small oxen with enormous horns drag ancient carts filled with the cane. Motor trucks of the most advanced type carry their quota and a miniature railroad helps with the work. Track for the railroad are made in sections and may be fitted together and laid across any field.

Klett of this | city, chairman of the judiciary com- mittee of the general assembly, thanks on behalf of the organization for the efforts put forth by the legislative body in the interests of the workingmen' compensation act. The action fol- lowed a hearing hefore the committee at the state capitol last evening, this being the first time that such a hearing was over granted to union men or their representatives at night, and was brought about mainly through the ef- forts of the local senator. The object of the hearing was for discussion relative to the length of time a workman shall be incapacitated before the compensation shall com- mence. According to the law at | present the waiting period is eleven ddys. The union men have felt for sometime that this is an injustice and have worked for the absolute removal of any waiting period. Although no definite action was tak- en at the hearing. it is believed that the committee will make report rec- ommending a seven days period before the compensation becomes effective. le at Besse-Leland's.—advt. class of candidates were initiated e meeting of New Britain Council, .

Once at the mill the cane is piled into heaps at the foot of an incline for carrying it into the mangler. A | steam crane picks it _ from motor ! truck, ox wagon. or railway car in- discriminacely and deposits it in the heap. It is thence fed into the end- less chain arrangement which pulls it up to the mangler where it is given | o thorough chewing by rotating jaws, thus separating the juice from the | stalk. Only about s per cent. of | the lignid is removed from the pith | for a reason which will soon be ex- | plained. “Boiling Down" the Juice. | The process of treating the juice is then one of “boiling down.” It is run through large vats, some of them containing a vacuum and subjected to a ereat heat. In the earlier part of the process the syrup intro- | 2uced to 2 thorough cleansing with lime water which precipitates the | dirt collected from the stalks. While runnine through the various vats the becemes thicker and thicker, | uming the appearance of | dge on the kitchen stove. It is tested, much like fudge, to de- | termine when the time is ripe to run | it through the separator. When it hardens upon a glass slide it is ready tor the final treatment which is given upon the island. For the last hour perhaps the heavy syrup has been losing its mois- ture in large vacuum vats. The tester stands by and finally finds the mix ture to have reached its proper con- | istancy whereupon he dumps the | contents of the vat into another handy vat which is to hold the sur- plus before it goes into the seperato The separator large drum of cop- per with a fine mesh in it surrounded | by anothe: drum which is solid. The interior drum is capable of being re- volved at a high speed and contains | perhaps twenty-five gallons of the liquid. Tt is filled through a trough om the reserve vats. The dark | iquid is too heavy to flow through the fine mesh when it is fed into the | interior drum but when this drum is | revolving the=centrifugal for drives the liquid through the mesh and the grain in the compound 1 mains on.the side walls of the drum. The black mixture gradually becom whiter as the drum revelves and the outer cylinder catches the dark liquid | as it flies through the mesh. The | gain in the interior drum is suga that in the outer mola . The sug now brownish white is collected from the separator and put into bags to ! be shipped to the states for the last | steps in refining. The mola runs | into vats of where it may easily he transported to barrels. cedless to say there Central, an up-to-date where the can juice is tested at ferent stages in its progress to termine the quality and quantity of sugar yielded. ach bag is also tested before shipped to deter- | mine its quality. \ One of the interesting points of the industry is the fuel problem and the manner of its solution. fuel of any description is very expen- sive in Porto Rico.
