"opek-kettle" factories.

Unfortunately not all of our factories are so advanced. The open-kettle sugar houses still exist, although their number is gradually diminishing. The methods of extraction of juice by mills is similar to that described above. It is evaporated differently. Four large iron kettles arranged in a line, encased in brick, with a continuous furnace under them, constitute the outfit. These kettles, descending in regular order in size, are known as the "Grande," the "Flambeau," the "Sirop," and the "Batterie." The juice, after being sulphured, is drawn into the "Grande," where it is limed, heated and the scums removed. It is then dipped into

the Flambeau, where it is brushed and cleaned, then passed to the Sirop, where it is further brushed, and finally into the Batterie, where it is concentrated to the granulating point—a density of about 45 degrees Baume, and with a temperature of about 240 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point it is dipped out and run into long troughs, called coolers, placed in the purgery. In a few days this "masse cuite" becomes solid, and preparations are then made for "potting." This process is as follows: In every open-kettle sugar house is a room called the "purgery." The floor of this room is cemented and inclines from every direction toward a large cemented cavity known as the molasses cistern. In this room the potting is done. Empty hogsheads are brought in and three one-inch sugar holes are bored into each bottom. Into each hole is inserted a large stalk of cane with the end cut in the shape of a triangular prism and its sides beveled. After placing the hogsheads in position they are filled with the "masse cuite" from the coolers. By the aid of spades and shovels the "masse cuite" is dug up, lumps pulverized and transferred to the hogsheads. The molasses following the beveled edges of the canes percolates downward, and emerging through the auger holes in the bottom, flows over the cemented floor into the molasses cistern. In a few weeks the sugar is drained of its molasses. The hogshead of sugar is headed up and shipped ofE to market. Little or none of this sugar now reaches the consumer. It is sold to the refineries.

It is not so with the molasses. If the operations have been carefully performed the molasses is excellent and commands fairly remunerative prices. It is called "open-kettle molasses," and is held in high esteem. Sometimes a small well is dug into the solid mass of the cooler. Into this well percolates the molasses which is dipped out as fast as it accumulates. This molasses is called "bleedings," and is in large request at high prices. But little, however, is made.

Another product of the open-kettle sugar house is syrup or "sirop de batterie." This is the well clarified juice concentrated to a syrup in the batterie or last kettle, in which ordinarily the strike sugar is made. It is highly esteemed and early in the season fetches extravagant prices.

Popular error exists as to the terms molasses and syrup. The former refers always to the drainings from the sugar, while the latter is the concentrated juice of the cane with all the sugar in it. The former will not easily ferment nor crystallize, and therefore can be kept for a long time. The latter, if too concentrated, will granulate, and if too thin will ferment. It therefore cannot be kept a very long time.

STEAM TRAINS.

Instead of evaporating the juice in kettles heated from underneath by an open fire, a series of pans are arranged, each with steam coils in the bottom. The juice is clarified and brushed in the first and concentrated in the remainder, the last one of which, the "strike pan," where a thermometer or hydrometer gives indication of the proper concentration of the juice to either syrup or masse cuite, as desired. The concentration is performed by steam drawn directly from the boiler. The masse cuite is sent to the purgery, where it granulates in coolers. After granulation it is either potted, as just described under the Open-Kettle Factory, or placed in the mixer, from which it is centrifugalled, as described under Vacuum Pan Factories. The latter is now practiced by several houses in this State.

The above constitute the usual products manufactured by the sugar houses directly from the raw material. These products are shipped to market and sold either for consumption or for refining. Nearly all of the open-kettle and the seconds and thirds centrifugal sugars go to the refiners, little or none going directly into the trade. On the other hand, nearly all of the "firsts" centrifugal sugars go directly into commerce, provided they have been properly washed, and are sold for consumption to our groceries. On the Sugar Exchange in New Orleans the following classifications have been adopted for plantation products: For centrifugal sugar, "plantation granulated," "ofE granulated," "choice white," "gray white," "fancy yellow," "choice yellows," "prime yellows," "off yellows," "seconds;" for open-kettle sugars, "choice," "strictly prime," "prime," "fully fair," "good fair," "fair," "good common," "common inferior;" for both open-kettle and centrifugal molasses, "fancy choice," "strict prime," "good prime," "prime," "good fair," "fair," "good common," "common," "inferior."

Color alone determined the above classification, and until recent years was the only factor which gave value to sugars, syrup or molasses. Now everything destined for the refineries is subjected to polariscopic tests and the percentage of sugar therein is the ruling factor. Open-kettle sugar rarely surpasses 90 degrees polariscopic tests and seldom falls below 80 degrees, while "firsts" centrifugal sugars rarely fall below 90 degrees and sometimes go over 99 degrees. Chemically pure sugar gives 100 degrees. Syrup, when bought by the refinery, and molasses when bought by the distillery, are both subjected to chemical analyses, which determine their values.

HOW PACKED.

All centrifugal sugars of every grade are packed in barrels holding about 350 pounds, while open-kettle potted sugars are shipped in hogsheads, holding from

1,000 to 1,500 pounds. Molasses and sj'rups are sent to the consumers in barrels holding about 50 gallons each. To dealers, molasses is often shipped in tanks located on a flat car. It is pumped into the tanks from the sugar houses, and pumped from the tanks into large cisterns when received at destination.

MIXING AND BLEACHING MOLASSES.

A large trade is carried on in mixing glucose syrup, made from corn, with Louisiana molasses. This mixture is sometimes branded "Louisiana Syrup" or "molasses." So great has become this industry that it is difficult to buy a brand of pure Louisiana molasses, except from first hands on the 'levees."

Brightening dark molasses has also become quite a business in some quarters, and specially prepared chemicals are sold for this purpose. Much of the black centrifugal molasses is thus bleached and sent into the market at higher prices. This will continue despite laws against it, just so long as the trade buys its goods on color.

Thanks to the prevailing low prices, little or no adulteration can now be found in the sugars of commerce.

PERSONNEL OF THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.

It is almost impossible to do justice to such a subject. A study of the sugar industry of this State brings in review such an army of active, intelligent and progressive leaders that a ponderous quarto would be needed to recite their achievements and record their trials.

Only a brief mention of the most prominent actors in the sugar drama can here be made. De Breuil, Mendez, Solis, De Bore and Coiron have already been noticed. Their names are indelibly stamped upon the pages of Louisiana's history.

Valcour Aime has left us a valuable diary of his trials and successes, besides various other contributions to the literature of sugar of his day. He was the pioneer of every progressive enterprise looking to the development of the great industry to which he dedicated his life. "Earely do we find a planter ready to go into such expensive trials for the welfare of the community." "A planter known to the entire State for his practical knowledge and who may be ranlced amongst the most talented men of our community," are the words of eulogy pronounced upon Valcour Aime by Judge P. A. Eost (himself an able and zealous devotee at the shrine of this industry), in 1846. "Primus inter pares" was that staunch old Eoman, friend and neighbor of Valcour Aime, who having spent his life in the prose-

cution of every means to develop the industry, is found as an octogenarian in 1881, sending a communication to the Sugar Planters' Association as to the great value of cane bagasse as a fuel, food for stock, and as paper stock, claiming an invention for its preparation for market. Besides equipping one of the finest refineries in the State, he peregrinated the world in search of a better variety of cane for Louisiana, and returned from Java with that excellent variety now bearing his name, and described elsewhere. Of course I refer to Mr. P. M. La Pice, of St. James.

Not far from these lived J. B. Armant, pronounced by Commissioner Miller,, of the Agricultural and Mechanical Association of Louisiana, in 1846, "one of the-oldest and most respectable planters of the State."

With such a trio, no wonder that "St. James Parish" at that day took a front rank in the sugar industry.

At that time Plaquemine Parish was noted, as it is now, for its progressive-planters. T. W. Packard on Myrtle Grove, Thomas A. Morgan on Orange Grove^ and Judah P. Benjamin on Bellechasse (as thorough in his studies of sugar as in the science of law and government), all resided in this parish, and were leaders; and pioneers in the sugar industry.

The Fortiers, the de Labarres, the Mayronnes, the McCutchons, the La Branches, the Eomans, the Minors, the Kenners, the Fusiliers, the McCalls, the Soniats, the Landrys, the Burgeres, the Welhams, the Godberrys, the Le Bourgeois, the Zeringues, the Waggamans, Millaudon, Sauve, the Villeres, the Wilkinsons, the McCollams, the Lesseps, the Pughs, and the Polks (including Bishop and General Leonidas Polk), Garcia, and a whole host of others too numerous to mention, were leaders in the sugar industry in other days and were men who would adorn any profession in any country.

In looking over the catalogue of sugar planters, in the forties and fifties, and comparing it with the roll of to-day, one is struck with the absence of so many names once famous in Louisiana. The war, with its disastrous results, thv. changed conditions attending sugar planting after the war, the financial panics, the overflows and freezes, have, all together, driven many a planter out of the business and introduced new actors upon the sugar stage. A few of the former names survive, the McCalls, the Soniats, the Kocks, Judge Emil Post, the Garrs, Mr. Lapice, the Flowers, the Ventresses, the Polks, the Morgans, the Le Verts, the Le Febres, the Minors, the Jacobs, the Wilkinsons, and some few others are still prominent members of the sugar fraternity.

In passing over the notables of the sugar industry, a goodly space should be

given to J. B. Avequin, a learned druggist and chemist of New Orleans, "who has been worth more than his weight in gold, a dozen times over, to the planting interests, by the light which he lias made science throw upon the culture of cane and the manufacture of its juices into sugar." He explained the use of lime as a defecating agent. He discovered "Cerosin;" analyzed Louisiana cane for the first time, and determined the nature of "cal." In fact, his name was known throughout the world in his day, as a successful investigator of Louisiana sugar cane. / Nor should the renowned character, "N. Rillieux," the inventor of the ap-N paratus which gave to the world the economical evaporation now used everywhere, be /forgotten. He died a few years ago in Paris, full of honors. Every "effect" in ) our sugar houses is but an application of the great principles which he first dis-pvered and covered in his first patent. A few of the leaders in ante-bellum days, survived the war and greatly aided in the resuscitation of the sugar industry. In 1840, the business of sugar brokerage was started in Xew Orleans by Jlr. Adolph Fontenette. Soon after, Mr. Robinson entered the business, followed quickly by Richard Milliken and John Flathers. The last two survived the war and died in recent years. Mr. Milliken has exercised a large influence upon the sugar industry of this State in liis relations of broker, factor and planter. Born in Waterford, Irclaml, in 1817, he came to America in 1830 and settled in New Orleans w ith his parents. He completed his education at Bardstown, Ky. Durinu' the Civil war he was first on Gen. Dick Taylor's staff, and afterwards in charge of the Confederate cojiper mines of Tennessee. He married, after the war. Miss Deborah Allen Farwell, sister of ITnited States Senator Farwell (of Maine) and Chas. A. Farwell of New Orleans. She survives him. Starting as broker in 1840, he finally succeeded in handling one-third of the sugar crop of the State. In 1870 he became also a factor and has since handled one-fifth of the State's output. In 1873, he became a planter by the purchase of "Unity" plantation. Since then he has bought "Waterford," "Fairfield," "Killona," "Cedar Grove," "Smithfield," "Clarkland," "Staunton," "Point Clear," "Hope," "Scars-dale," and "Belchasse." These places employ several thousand men, and have a yearly product of sugar well up into the millions of pounds. LTp to the day of his death, in 189G, he remained actively at work, in intimate connection with the foremost sugar planters of Louisiana, and always wielded a powerful influence in the development of this valuable industry. As factor and broker, he handled more sugar than any man in the South. Before his death he received Mr. Charles A. Farwell (his nephew) into full partnership with him in the factorage business, and turned over to Murphy & Farwell his brokerage business.

Mr. James C. Murjiliy (now President of the Sugar Exchange) and Harry B. Farwell (Mr. Milliken's nephew) were both clerks in Mr. Milliken's office, and received their initiation in the sale of sugars and molasses under his tutelage. The firm of Milliken & Farwell continues the business of factors and managers of the numerous plantations. Mr. Charles A. Farwell, the junior member, is president of the Sugar Cane Growers' Association, and was "Eex" of the Carnival in 1898. Mr. Milliken's widow, by her princely liberality, is perpetuating in enduring form the fame and name of "Milliken." "The Richard Milliken Memorial Hospital for Children," erected by this noble woman to the memory of her husband, in connection with the Charity Hospital of this city, will ever remain as a monument of the greatness of the one and the liberality and philanthropy of the other.

Another link connecting the sugar industry of the past with the present was Hon. Duncan Farrar Kenner, sugar planter, financier and statesman. His name is found issuing a call for the convention of sugar planters in Donaldsonvillo, in 1842, and again in 1877 prominent among those organizing the Sugar Planters* Association, of which Ijody he was elected president, holding the position to his death in 1888. He was foremost among the organizers of the Sugar Experiment Station, and held the position as president up to his death. He was a large and successful planter, a man of strong judgment, high intelligence and rare social qualities. Born as a ruler, he was equally influential in political, financial and planting circles. His widow still lives in this city. One of his daughters married General Joseph L. Brent, the hero, the successful planter, the chivalrous gentleman, once an honored planter and citizen of this State, president of our State Agricultural Society, and member of State Legislature, but now a citizen of Baltimore, Maryland.

N^o history of the sugar industry since the war would be complete without mention of the brilliant services of the late Edward J. Gay, of St. Louis Plantation, Plaquemine, La. A member of the Sugar Planters' Association, president of the Sugar Exchange, member of Congress from the Third district of this State, and always a strong and able defender of the sugar indu.stry. He was a man of large abilities, handling his immense estate with excellent judgment and rare success. His death was a great blow to the State and to the sugar industry. Fortunately his mantle fell upon able shoulders, his son, Andrew H. Gay, assuming control of his sugar interests, which he has managed with great success, and his son-in-law, Andrew Price, taking his seat in Congress. Both are worthy successors of a truly great man.

It would be a poor tribute to genuine worth to simply assert that Leon Godchaux was perhaps the leading sugar planter of his day. Starting in this country with no fortune but his strong will and unyielding persistency, he arose step by step to affluence and power. He amplified and organized three of the largest estates ever known in Louisiana and equipped them with up-to-date, capacious machinery. Elm Hall, Eeserve and Raceland, each with a capacity of 15,000,000 pounds of sugar annually, will ever remain as monuments to the sagacity, the methodical habits, the untiring activity, the financial success of that truly wonderful man, Leon Godchaux. He died a few years since, regretted by the entire sugar world. His sons are managing his large estates with consummate ability.

Contemporaneous with him in life and death was another large sugar planter, General William Porcher Miles, the scholar, the statesman, the planter, the gentleman "sans peur et sans reproche." Coming late in life from congressional and collegiate halls to assume charge of enormous estates, he brought with him the business habits of the latter and the cordial suavity of the former, and concentrated them upon his wife's large inheritances, who was the daughter of Oliver Beirne, himself a progressive and prominent planter. Of course success attended him, and at his death a few years ago, all classes, from the obscure laborer to the millionaire, mingled their tears of sincere regret. "Earth never pillowed a nobler head and heaven never opened wide its gates to receive a purer soul.''

The sugar world has recently been shrouded in grief at the death of perhaps the most progressive scientific planter in this or any other State. The name and fame of Daniel Thompson, of Calumet, is commensurate with the cane sugar industry everywhere. His early experiments with commercial fertilizers, his complete chemical control of his sugar house, his progress in every line of the sugar industry, long ago gave him a reputation which was quickly borne to foreign lands, and which created everywhere fresh enthusiasm among the workers of sugar. He was one of the executive committee of the Sugar Planters' Association, and of the Sugar Experiment Station. Mr. Thompson was a man of splendid abilities, methodical habits and genuine progress. He was ably assisted while living by his brilliant son, Wibray, upon whose shoulders his mantle has fallen.

In studying the sugar industry, one is forced to emphasize the great good accomplished by the various organizations working in its interests.

Before the war, the "Agricultural and Mechanical Association of Louisiana," which had for a time as its vice president the eminent jurist and planter. Judge P. A. Rost (father of our Judge Emil Rost, "a noble son of a noble sire"), held its

annual fairs, and "had its committee upon the sugar industry," which made its annual report. From these very full reports, one can easily discern the immense stimulus and assistance given the planters of the State by this organization.

But the organization which perhaps has accomplished the greatest good to the sugar industry was brought into existence in 1877, by a call from the leading planters of the State. It was named the "Sugar Planters' Association," of which Mr. Duncan F. Kenner was its first president, Hon. John Dymond its second, and Judge Emil Eost its present and third president. This association has held monthly meetings, discussing every phase of progress, and its publications have been productive of immense benefit to the planters of this and other lands. The present officers of the Sugar Planters' Association are as follows: President, Judge Emil Eost; First Vice President, Henry McCall; Second Vice President, L. M. Soniat; Third Vice President, G. G. Zenor; Treasurer, W. B. Schmidt; Secretary, E. Dykers; Executive Committee, Dr. W. C. Stubbs, W. B. Schmidt, John N. Pharr, John Dymond, W. J. Thompson.

Next in order of time was the "Sugar Exchange" of New Orleans, whose building adapted to the wants of a modern exchange, was completed and dedicated on June 3d, 1884. Mr. Edward J. Gay was its first president, and Mr. D. D. Colcock its first secretary. To this exchange has been transferred the business formerly transacted on the levee, and here the buyers and sellers meet daily for the purpose of trade in sugar, syrup and molasses.

The Exchange has had several presidents, but Mr. D. D. Colcock continues to be its secretary, and to his statistical information, rare intelligence and fearless action, much of the success of the Exchange is due. Mr. Colcock has also rendered invaluable service to the sugar industry by his able presentation of the tariff issues before the Congress of the United States. Mr. J. C. Murphy is at present president of the Sugar Exchange.

Under the influence and through the appointment of a committee by the Sugar Planters' Association, the "Louisiana Scientific and Agricultural Association" was formed in 1885, which started the Sugar Experiment Station. For four years it was located at Kenner, La. Ten years ago it was moved to its present location, Audubon Park, New Orleans, La. This station has experimented in the field, laboratory and sugar house, and has published its results in numerous bulletins. It has covered every question pertaining to the sugar industry and aided in every development. It has been recognized by the State, and it is now Station No. 1 of the Louisiana State University and A. & U. College. Dr. W. C.

Stubbs is and has been its director. He has a full corps of assistants. Mr. John Dymond is president of the Louisiana Scientific and Agricultural Association, which owns and controls the Sugar Experiment Station.

The same association started in 1891 the Audubon Sugar School, for the purpose of making experts in the sugar industry. It has been successfully conducted and its graduates are now found filling responsible positions in almost every sugar country. It has recently been adopted by the State and made a part of the Louisiana State L'niversity at Baton Eouge, where, in connection with Sugar Experiment Station at Audubon Park, a most thorough course of four years of scientific and practical instruction is given.

The Sugar Bowl, a journal devoted to the sugar interests of Louisiana, was started thirty years ago, and has since made weekly visits to the planters of the State. A few years ago its name was changed to "The Sugar Planters' Journal." It is edited by J. Y. Gilmore, and is published at 520 Poydras street. New Orleans.

Twelve years ago, to meet the growing demands of the planters, a company was formed for the purpose of starting a first-class scientific and practical weekly journal devoted to the growth of sugar cane and its manufacture into sugar. This paper was called "The Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufacturer," and has been ably edited by Mr. John Dymond, assisted by Dr. W. C. Stubbs, Mr. W. W. Pugh (the veteran sugar planter of Louisiana), and Mr. Wibray J. Thompson.

This journal is now the leader of sugar thought in the world and goes in large numbers weekly to every sugar country. Its success is due to its able editor, Mr. John Dymond, who is also president of the State Agricultural Society, president of the Louisiana Scientific and Agricultural Association, and State Senator in our Legislature. Mr. Dymond has perhaps done as much to advance the sugar and other agricultural interests as any man in the South.

A few years ago, "The Sugar Growers' Association" of this State was formed for the purpose of securing proper protection to sugar. Its membership includes nearly every planter in the State. Its president is Mr. Charles A. Farwell, of Milliken & Farwell, and its secretary is Mr. D. D. Colcock. It is doing yeoman service in properly protecting the sugar industry of this country at Washington.

There are numerous planters, factors and brokers that are to-day prominent in the sugar industry and who are deserving of special mention here, but neither time nor space will permit it. To them we make the following closing remarks:

The extent to which the production of sugar can be carried on in Louisiana is appreciated by but few of us, but we who reflect on the subject and feel such a

picture23

picture24

deep interest in all that concerns the prosperity of this State, foresee with exultation the day not far distant when boundless tracts, now covered with marsh or primeval forests, shall teem with plenteous harvests of the cane, when central factories shall manufacture it into the purest sugars— yea, in a word, when the industry and enterprise of our people shall succeed in developing to their full extent the resources which a bounteous Providence has lavished on this favored State. Then, let us hope, some future historian will do justice to our lives and services.

CLOSING REMARKS.

Taking a retrospective view of the sugar industry of Louisiana for the last fifteen or twenty years, it can be said with truth that there is no industry in the world that has made such progress. The organization of the Sugar Planters' Association, in 1877, may be regarded as the starting point of the renaissance of the sugar industry. Since that time the Sugar Experiment Station has been established, whose teachings and experiments have illuminated the field and the factory. The Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufacturer has been started, whose weekly visit to the home of every planter, manager, overseer, sugarmaker, etc., carries with it information upon every subject pertaining to the agriculture of sugar cane and the chemistry and manufacture of sugar. The Sugar Exchange lias been created in New Orleans, where the products of the plantation are quickly sold. Improved implements for breaking the soil and for the cultivation of cane, have been introduced and almost universally used. Improvement of soils and crops, both by scientific rotation of crops, involving the nitrogen gathering cow pea, and the exten^ sive use of commercial fertilizers, whose purity and guarantee are sustained by chemical analysis made by official chemists, without cost, are everywhere in evidence. Tonnage has been increased, and the cost of growing cane materially reduced.

Small sugar houses are fast disappearing, and enormous factories with every modern labor and fuel saving apparatus, are to be found in every section. The output of sugar, both per acre and per ton of cane, has been greatly increased. New lands are being opened and old plantations better drained and cultivated. In fact, "expansion" in the cultivation of sugar cane in Louisiana and other Southern States, and sugar factories in the "expansion," is the only kind favored by the sugar planters of the South. Thousands of acres of land well adapted to the growth of sugar cane, are available in Louisiana, Texas and other Southern States. Capital alone is wanted to develop them and build the necessary factories. Everv dollar made in the sugar industry since the war, has gone into sugar houses and the im-

picture25

provement of lands. Over $100,000,000 have thus been invested. The acreage devoted to sugar cane is yearly increasing, the present year will doubtless witness the harvesting of cane from over 300,000 acres. The crop of 1897 brought about $35,000,000, and gave employment directly and indirectly to nearly a half a million of people. Every dollar received was exchanged for labor, material, provisions and clothes. This large sum is paid out as fast as received, and a portion of it doubtless finds its way to every State in the Union, thus creating an inter-State commerce of nearly seventy millions of dollars.

Our machinery comes largely from Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Alabama, Xew York and Illinois, for which we pay $6,000,000. To Mississippi and Louisiana we send, for lumber and bricks, $600,000. Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Indiana draw on us annually, for mules and horses, over $1,000,000. The coal and oil furnished us by Pennsylvania, Alabama and West Virginia, cost annually $1,500,000. Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas give us our daily bread at an annual cost of $3,000,000. Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa feed our stock, but charge yearly for the same another $3,000,000. West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky give us our wagons, carriages and agricultural implements, at the modest sum of $500,000. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Xebraska furnish us with meats, lard, etc., for $3,000,000. Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana butter our bread and give us cheese for luncheon, but require in return $500,000. Texas, Mississippi and Alabama, to say nothing of the refrigerator beef from the West, available only at our towns and cities, supply us with steaks, roasts and stews, and though at times they are quite inferior, cost the modest sum of $500,000. Alabama has a monopoly on the supply of lime for our sugar houses and for building purposes, and accordingly draws on us annually for $500,000. The cooperage for our sugar houses descends the great "Father of Waters" in flatboats, from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and annually mulcts the planters of $1,000,000.

It is a custom here to sow cow peas upon one-third of our lands yearly, using at the rate of two bushels per acre, requiring nearly a quarter of a million of bushels annually, for which we send to Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee and pay from $1.25 to $3.50 per bushel. Both our plant and stubble canes are fertilized regularly; therefore we send to Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, Xebraska and Louisiana for phosphates, cotton seed meal and tankage, and credit them by cash paid, $1,000,000.

Our boots and shoes are made in Boston, St. Louis, Xew York, Philadelphia, etc., and our shoemakers charge us $2,500,000 per year. We are clothed by Xew

York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and as we all wear good clothes, we pay over $5,000,000 annually for them. If any money be left us we spend it in notions, fruits and sundries, which are gathered from Maine to California.

The above is not a mere guess, but is a calculation based, after careful investigation, upon facts which abundantly justify every enumeration made. With this wide distribution of the money coming from the sugar industry of Louisiana, is there a citizen of any section of this Union that does not enjoy some benefit from it, directly or indirectly ?

ADDENDA TO THE ARTICLE OX SUGAR, BY J. P. SMITH.

(1.) J. W. Barnett was the first in the State to erect two "Deming"' superheat clarifiers and two 8 and 10 feet vacuum pans.

(2.) Captain J. X. Pharr was the first in the State to erect a "Deming" superheat clarifier.

(3.) Y. Provost still uses his old open kettle sugar house with mule power, which is said to be the oldest in operation in the State. Has been built 25 years, with no improvements. His cane is made mostly into molasses and is renowned for its extra quality.

(4.) Hon. Walter A. O'Niell was the first in the State to erect the "derrick" for unloading cane carts.

(5.) "Total Wreck" plantation, owned by Baldwin & Co., was once the property-

of M. Agricole Fuselier, and is mentioned by "Cable"' in his "Strange True Stories of Louisiana."

(6.) "Georgia and New Hope" plantations, now owned bv C. S. Mathews, forms a tract of land which was, in part, previously owned by Judge George Mathews and has ever since remained in the Mathews family. Judge George Mathews was very prominently identified with the development of the State, being the first chief justice of the Territory of Louisiana and chief justice of the State until his death.

(7.) J. F. Martin, of Iberia Parish, was the first man in the State to erect a central factory and depend entirely upon outside patronage for his cane.

(8.) "Australia" plantation, owned by V. M. Lefebvre, in W. Baton Rouge, is the highest point of land in the parish, and here was made the first settlement.

(9.) "St. Louis" plantation, in Iberville Parish, owned by E. J. Gay Planting and Manufacturing Company (Limited), has been in the Gay family since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the same may be said of "Bel-Air" plantation, now owned by Mrs. Samuel Stafford, in W. Baton Rouge Parish.

(10.) "Elm Hall" plantation, in Assumption Parish, now owned by the Leon Godchaux Company (Limited), was the first plantation in the State to have a vacuum-pan plant and make loaf sugar. It was then owned by Dr. Kittredge. The present owners were among the first in the State to adopt the Rilleux system of evaporating cane juice.

(11.) "Little Texas" plantation, in Assumption Parish, now owned and operated by C. C. Barton, lies within the old historic "League Square,"—a tract of land granted to a Catholic priest by the Spanish government for religious purposes. Titles of land within this .square can be easily traced to the time of the Spanish grant, hence the question of their validity has never arisen. On this plantation exists a large Indian mound, which is used as a burial ground by the Pugh and Phillips families, its center being marked by a large live oak, entirely sheltering with its massive, outstretched limbs, the graves beneath.

(12.) Webre, Steib & Co. (Limited), in the Vacherie, own and have in their possession a "madstone," and claims it to be the only one in the South, which they use to cure the bites of snakes and dogs. Some phenomenal cures have been made. It has never been known to refuse affiliation with the venomous bites of snakes and dogs. This stone was found in the heart of a deer by a Natchitoches Indian and presented to Mr. Durio, a planter on the Mississippi Eiver, who had, on a number of occasions befriended this Indian, and received this as his reward. Sylvester Webre pur-

chased the stone from Mr. Durio, and it has been handed down to the present generation.

(13.) '"Evan Hall" plantation, in Ascension Parish, owned by McCall Bros. Planting & Manufacturing Company, has always remained within the family. They hold the original grants from the Spanish government.

(14.) Lower Terribonne Refinery & Manufacturing Company and J. M. Bur-giiieres are the only two in the State wlio have 12-foot vacuum pans.

(15.) Capt. John T. Moore"s plantations are located on the highest point in Terrebonne Parish, having an elevation of eight feet and giving natural drainage. This is the only instanc-e of such note in the parish.
