52 TlMEHRI. 
It will be found that this table embraces the infor- 
mation gained by an exact analysis of the canes and 
resultant megass, and if there are any points in con- 
nection with the tabulated information wanting: eluci- 
dation I shall be happy to furnish such. 
I have only to add that I believe where the duty is 
fairly divided over two such mills as those to be seen 
at Providence the trash-turner question has been reduced 
to a minimum. 
Still, with more than one top roller gudgeon wrung 
off, I am inclined to think that there is room for im- 
provement, and as I have already pointed out, — a two 
roller mill on the De Morney type seems to me the most 
likely remedy. 
Let us refer to Table A. and take the work done 
by the two plants with which I am most intimate, viz : 
Providence, which I consider almost perfect, and Tuschen, 
which I consider a fair average. On the former estate 
the first mill exerts an indicated power of 117 horses 
to give an expression of 66 per cent, from the cane, and 
makes 85 hhds. of 200oTbs. net per week. 
The second mill, which receives the megass steamed 
from the first mill and by which iroy per cent, from 
the cane is gained, making in all 77*07 per cent, absorbs 
the indicated power of 127 horses and adds 15 hhds. to 
the week's work or in gallons cane juice at ioo° Soleil 
30,000, which on the same valuation as I pay the 
farmers for the juice contained in their raw canes, re- 
presents $900 gained per week's work. I say gained, 
because the increased value of the megass as fuel, as 
we shall see later on, more than pays for the additional 
power required to extract the juice out of the megass
