Not illustrated. 1890 Excerpt: ...for the past two years. 2. The labor required to dispose of exhausted chips is urged against it. To those who have proper mills and burners this, I think, will be no serious matter in coming years, but let us suppose the planter devoid of these appliances and compelled to haul his chips. Now if it costs 25 cents per ton to load and haul cane an average distance of one mile, it should not cost to exceed 12 cents per ton to cart the chips away, since the loading will be done by machinery and the distance of haul on chips a very short one. It is therefore only necessary for the planter to deduct two and one-half pounds of sugar from his increased yield by diffusion to cover the entire cost of carting chips. The two obstacles in the way of diffusion just named: I, the excessive cost of a plant; 2, the burdensome job of disposing of exhausted chips, are, in my judgment, the only sound arguments that can be urged against the method. Other small difficulties have already, to a large extent, melted away, and such of them ), as still remain will shortly vanish in the light of experience and experiment. The necessary cost of appliances for diffusion are much less than is usually supposed, for the reason that plants heretofore erected have added many costly items needed in any kind of sugar house, and not more essential for diffusion than for mill work. Estimating on a capacity of 300 to 350 tons of cane for twentyfour hours, the list of items with approximr.te cost of each would be about as follows: Fourteen-cell battery erected $15,000 Cutter and maceraior 2,00a One thousand two hundred feet carrier and drag chains, 60 cents 720 One hundred feet 3-inch shaft 160 Two hundred feet 2-inch shaft 120 About sixteen carrier drums 400 About 30 pulleys, various sizes 300 Fiv...
