All these causes combined in one cane would be sufficient to account forthe actually observed results, although any one might not be of itself ofsufficient magnitude to be detected in the routine control; and, further, thetrouble might be accentuated by the objectionable combinations causingan imperfect combustion in the bagasse. Furnaces employed in Bagasse Combustion.—The main principle fromwhich the various designs of bagasse furnaces have been developed
