Cane sugar; a textbook on the agriculture of the sugar cane, the manufacture of cane sugar, and the analysis of sugar-house products . 7,1893). This system, as used in the Wheeler-Wilson loader in Hawaii, isshown from a photograph in Plate XIX. There are numerous other Americanpatents dealing with details based on this method. A second device consists of the grab, which is also operated from the endof a boom mounted on a portable carrier. This apparatus lifts up thecane from the heaps into which it is thrown by the cutters. The earliestpatent on this scheme seems to be that of Lotz ( 73192

This apparatus lifts up thecane from the heaps into which it is thrown by the cutters. The earliestpatent on this scheme seems to be that of Lotz ( 731923,1903) ; but thereare a number of other and later patents using this principle. A third scheme found in a number of patents, of which the earliestseems to be that of Herbert ( 645851,1900), comprises the use of portableinclined endless belt conveyors, on which the cane is laid, carried upwards,and discharged into the trucks. A variant of this scheme is seen in Crozierspatent ( 1025379, 1912), which employs an inclined run-way, up which ishoisted a small car sledge, which dumps its load into the railway truck. Plate
