THE utilization of what are commonly regarded as the 
waste products of a sugar manufactory is of much import- 
ance. Although the capacity of the plant for the produc- 
tion of sugar and syrup is to be regarded as the principal 
and almost exclusive element in any rational computation 
of its value, we should not lose sight of the fact that success 
in this branch of industry at the North will depend in a 
great degree upon the skill of the sugar planter, in making 
the best possible use of every material within his reach. 
It is of primary importance to him to increase the pro- 
ductiveness of his lands to the utmost extent within his 
power. It has already been shown (Ch. VII.) how the 
trash pile may readily be made subservient to that end by 
restoring annually to the land most of the substances ne- 
cessary to the growth of future crops, which are annually
