either by Hand or by Steam. In order to obtain good results, it is 

 imperative that the Coffee be ripe, freshly picked, and led into the 

 Hopper mth a constant stream of water. They are made in two sizes : —

u We make larger Pulpers than those shewn on this sheet and 

 which are provided with a Separator for classifying the Cherry Coffee, 

 each size thus obtained being delivered into a particular channel ad- 

 justed to that size. This arrangement greatly assists the perfect 

 pulping of the berries, since the machine has practically to deal with 

 berries of the same size. 



" A Separator also can be used in conjunction with two or more 

 separate Pulpers, each Pulper adjusted to take one size of berry." 



In Java the Liberian Coffee cherries ate fermented before they are 

 pulped. 



Messrs. Gordon state in the Kew Bulletin : — 



" We have supplied pulpers for Liberian Coffee to Java, West Coast 

 of Africa, and mostly to the Malay Peninsula. One firm there, Messrs. 

 Hill & Rathbone, have had six or seven pulpers ; they have also our 

 peelers and separators. . . . 



"It is quite imperative that water be used in pulping, and where it is 

 not obtainable the only course, we fear, is to dry the coffee in the 

 cherry, when it can very well be peeled, only this takes some power . . . 



" Our peelers and separators will treat Liberian equally as well as 

 ordinary Arabian Coffee, and as far as these machines are concerned 

 there is no difference of construction. It is only in the operation of 

 pulping where difficulty has been found, necessitating a special pulper/'
