In judging of the efficiency of the work of any factory, judgement 

 must be based chiefly upon the amount of sucrose contained in the 

 cane to be worked upon. A factory dealing with canes of low sugar 

 content cannot be expected to secure as much sugar from a given 

 weight of cane as though the canes had a high sugar content. 



Some data respecting the class of cane ground, the work of the 

 mills upon that cane, and the total rendiment of sucrose, has been 

 selected from Java and Hawaii two of the most progressive cane sug- 

 ar countries. 



It is very difficult to formulate factory data from different countries 

 for comparison, because of the lack of uniformity in the terms and 

 methods of reporting. The data below has been reduced to common 

 terms, and, it is believed, faithfully represents the original figures. 



* Factory No. 8 described in Manufacture records a rendiment of 12 1 commercial 

 sugar on 100 of cane, making 1, 2, 3 & 4 sugars.
