r S. McNaught Co. has ship-
Ri in a car of machinery lor the
of a molasses alfalfa
B plant For the past year and a
the company has been making
■r alfalfa meal and shipping it
Kncipa)iy to Ilie molasses mixing
Sants at Portland and Seattle. With
U new equipment they will be able
“make and sell to the trade in car
molasses alfalfa meal, which is
fc highly prized by the dairymen of
Ee Willamette valley and Puget
sound country. It is the belief that
mixing of the molasses with the
aralfa meal in a plant situated in
fee heart of the best alfalfa produc-
district in the Northwest will
give greater confidence to the dairy-
men who are users of this product,
and will assure them of getting
nothing but No. 1 alfalfa hay in the
mixed feed, with no adulterations.
The machinery consists of a steam
boiler and steam molasses pump to
heat and pump the molasses from
the tank cars into a large tank ad-
jacent to the mill, which will hold
ipproximately 150 tons of molasses.
iis molasses is then pumped
■through heated pipes to a small tank
■in the mill building, where It is
■ heated to boiling point with live
I steam in a coil. From the small
■ tank the boiling hot molasses is pip-
Wed to the mixer, where it is thor-
Doughly mixed under steam pressure
I with the proper proportion of alfalfa
■meal. The mixed meal* is then con-
I veyed to the packer and is sacked
■ in one hundred pound bags.
■ Most of the product, of course,
■ will be shipped to Portland and the
■ Sound country, also to Spokane,
I lewiston and all Inland Empire
■ points. The mixed meal will also
■ he sold locally to the dairymen who
■ do not care to do their own mixing.
Those who wish to save the expense
of mixing will be able to buy the
Isolasses at the mill in barrel lots,
i No doubt much of the molasses
will be sold locally, as the Oregon
I Agricultural College is strongly ad-
I vising all dairymen and hog raisers
I to use it liberally. The molasses
I that wlil be used at the Hermiston
Plant is of the pure cane variety.
I It is shipped from the Hawaiian Is­
lands and is much superior to the
beet molasses for stock food. It is
»great appetizer and milk producer.
It is also a tonic and a great produ-
W of fat and keeps the animals in
I good condition.
There is much evidence to show
that pure cane molasses is equal to
corn, pound for pound, and has the
great advantage of costing only half
as much.
The cost of this improvement to
the present mill will be about $5000,
and the completed plant will be
ready for operation about the first
of February.
