(Freparnl hy Hi Nntlnnnl Utographlo So
doty, WtiHhlriKloii, d. r )
On the gentle sloping hillsides of the
northern portion of a single state of
the great Hraxiliun republic there nro
some 700,000,000 coffee trees. Here
on the famous rich, ted soil (terra
tossn), under extraordinarily fnvorablo
climatic conditions, the state of Sao
Paulo is producing annually closo to
threo-rjuarters of the world's total
coffee crop. Small wonder It Is that
this state rimks so high In the num
ber and In the character of Its popu
lation; in the development of Its rail
roads; In 'its general commercial and
Industrial activity. Small wonder Is
It ihat the city of Sao Paulo is so full
f life nnd energy; that Santos lias be
lome so famous a port, that the Santos
docks and the Sno Paulo railway ut
tract so many visitors. Coffee Is tho
mnlnspiing of all this development.
Coffee Is the prevailing topic of con
versation. Coffee Is the key to the
flnnuclal situation. Coffee Is king.
As a famous waterfall, or an Im
nienso steel plant, or a groat forest.- or
ii wonderful View nttracts the traveler,
so this remarkable P.razlllan coffee dis
trict lias a fascination nil Its own for
the "globe-trotter," or for the nioro
leisurely traveler who seeks to know
something more definite about our
South American neighbors; or, more
particularly, for any one to whom
man's achievements In chnnglng the
face of nature by mnklng the earth
produce what ho needs and what he
finds profitable are a source of satis
faction and Inspiration.
Journey of Great Interest.
The heart of the coffee country can
oe reached In less than three weeks
from New York. The voyage to and
from Illo Janeiro Is a delight which
cannot fall to satisfy oven those who
are not naturally lovers of the sea.
What can be more Ideal for any one
who Is tired out with tho wear and
tear of a busy life than that voyage
of two weeks from New York to Hlo,
over the cahu seas and under the
bright skies of the topics'
From Hlo do Janeiro n Journey of
ubout eight hours tnkes the traveler
across the coast range of mountains
(Serra do Mar) nnd along the vnlley
of the Pnrahyba river to the city of
Sao Paulo, which lies In a position of
Immense udvuntagc lo Its commercial
development. From the city of Sno
Paulo the heart of the coffee country
Is reached In a short dny's journey
along one of the lines of railroad which
go In a northerly or northwesterly di
rection across tho open enmpos or
through the scattering woodlands.
In about two hours after leaving the
city of Sao Paulo tho traveler begins
to nee tho first considerable coffee
plantations, and from that time on
the Journey Is ono of the greatest In
terest. Coffee Is everywhere. Mites
and miles of. coffee trees stretch away,
up nnd down tho gentle slopes of tho
rolling topography, often ns far as the
eye can see great broad waves of
green, with the narrow lines of tho red
soil showing in marked contrast with
tho green of the leaves. It Is n sight
which Is not soon forgotten. Here and
there are small patches of forest which
have not yet been destroyed to make
way for the coffee, And then there
come grent stretches of rugged grass
lnnds partly used for grazing purposes,
or locally for farming, where the soil
is not right for the coffeo tree.
Charm of the Fazcndas.
On the lower slopes of the hills or
on the lowiuuds, standing out In
marked contrast with the green coffee
trees, aro the white buildings of the
fuzendus groat, substantial-stone and
stucco manor houses, with wide
verandas and large windows, surround
ed by gardens filled with palm, and
banana, and orange, and mango tros;
the extensive outbuildings, for the
stables anil for the machinery, for the
laborers anil for tho superintendent, be
ing placed at n respectful distance
from the manor house.
All these Brazilian fazcndas have a
pecullur charm an appearance of
solidarity, of comfort, of pence, and of
prosperity as they lie there, sur
rounded by the wculth ot their coffee
trees, with cattlo grazing on tho neigh
boring fields, and with ever-busy, pic
turesque Italian laborers caring for
tho precious crop, whoso market prices
arc quoted dally In all tho Important
papers throughout tho-civilized world,

four years nftcr they have been re
moved from the nurseries, where they
grow In wicker baskets, under shade.
Tho fruit, when ripe, Is red, anil re
sembles a small cherry, or cranberry,
In general appearance. The coffeo
which we see In the grocery store Is
tho seed of this coffeo berry.
Normally each berry contains two.
seeds, flat on one side and rounded on
the other, tho Hat sides being together.
Tho seeds are Imbedded In a sticky,
whitish pulp, nnd are further them
selves surrounded by two envelopes.
Before tho coffee bean can bo put
upon the market the outer covering,
the pulp, and the two Inner coverings
must bo removed. It Is customnry to
classify the methods of preparing cof
fee for market Into tho wet nnd tho
dry. They aro alike, after a certain
stage, and there Is disagreement nmong
experts as to the relative merits of the
two in producing the best coffee. In
the dry process tho berries are dried
before tho pulp Is removed, nnd then
outer covering, pulp, nnd Inner cover
ings are removed together. In tho wet
process the pulp Is first removed In
water, nnd the drying and removal of
the Inner envelopes come later. Tliero
is no absolutely hard and fast rule, In
variably followed on all fnzendna
alike, In tho preparation for market of
the coffee boons.
A considerable water supply and a
cnrofully planned system of smnll
canals and of basins Is needed In the
wet method, and It Is pnrtly for this
reason, ias well as because of tho
preforenco of some fazendclros for
the dry method, that tho wet method
Is not everywhere In use.
Harvest Lasto Several Months.
The harvest begins In May and lusts
Into August, or even September. This
Is the dry season, bo that tho weather
conditions ure very favorable, not only
for the harvest itself, but for drying
and transporting the crop after It has
been gathered. In picking tho coffee,
the boughs arc pulled down with the
left hand nnd field at the outer end,
while the light hand Is run along tho
bough from the bnse to the tip, thus
stripping off the berries as well as
many leaves ami twigs. For the up
per branches rude step-ladders nro
used.
The usiml method of harvesting is
to let the berries, twigs, etc., fall di
rectly on the ground, where they are
later raked together with wire rakes
with rounded teeth, and the first rough
sorting is made. Thu next stage Is a
winnowing by menus of u wire sieve,
the hand being used to pick out the
twigs and leaves and the wind blow
lug away n good deal of tho dust as
the contents of the sieve uro thrown
up Into the nlr and caught ugaln sev
eral times. In u less common method
tho results of tho harvesting are al
lowed to fall Into cotton cloths spread
out underneath the trees. This makes
the gathering of the crop quicker. Tho
berries are then assembled in sneks.
From tills point on the berries uro
subjected to various mechanical treat
ments. Under the "wet method" they
uro washed, churned with hoes, al
lowed to soften, and aro then run
through a mechnnlcnl pulper. The
K'cds, still enveloped by their inner
skins, are strained from tho "mush"
resulting from the pulping operations,
and aro then placed In bnslns to fer
ment slightly so that any remaining
pulp will be loosened. They ure then
spread out on largo paved surfaces to
dry In the sun. When properly dried
tht! seeds nro gathered up and run
through ingenious machines which rub
off the skin. The particles of skin are
sifted and blown out and the coffeo
beans hulled, cleaned and sorted
fall directly from the last machine Into
tho bags. When these contain 132
pounds each they arts sewed up and
are ready for shipment to market.
Along the roads, deep In red dust,
six or eight yoke of oxen draw the
heavy wagon, loadetl with the precious
sacks, to the nearest railroad station,
In cases where the railroad docs not
come directly Into the fazenda, as it
often does.
Off to the south go the trains, first
to the cltyor Sno Paulo, nnd then
down tho steep eastern slopes of tho
Serrn do Mur to tho world's fnmoun
coffee port. In Santos, coffeo abso
lutely dominates the lives of the peo
ple. Coffeo Is everywhere on the
streets, In tho warehouses, on tho
train. Kvery one Is busy with coffee,
