1. The lake known as Barwâ Sâgar was formed by a Bundêla chief, who constructed an embankment nearly three-quarters of a mile long to retain the waters of the Barwâ stream, a tributary of the Betwâ. The work was begun in 1705 and completed in 1737. The town is situated at the north-west corner of the lake, on the road from Jhânsî to the cantonment of Nowgong (properly Naugâon, or Nayâgâon), at a distance of twelve miles from Jhânsî (_N.W.P. Gazetteer_, 1st ed., vol. i, pp. 243 and 387). 2. The rude sketch given here in the author's text is not worth reproduction. 3. The 'pestle-and-mortar' pattern of mill above described is the indigenous model formerly in universal use in India, but, in most parts of the country, where stone is not available, the 'mortar' portion was made of wood. The stone mills are expensive. In the Bânda and Hamîrpur districts of Bundêlkhand sugar-cane is now grown only in the small areas where good loam soil is found. The method of cultivation differs in several respects from that practised in the Gangetic plains, but the editor never observed the slovenliness of which the author complains. He always found the cultivation in sugar- cane villages to be extremely careful and laborious. Ancient stone mills are sometimes found in black soil country, and it is difficult to understand how sugarcane can ever have been grown there. The author was mistaken in supposing that the indigenous pattern of mill is superior to a good roller mill. The indigenous mill has been completely superseded in most parts of the Panjâb, United Provinces, and Bihâr, by the roller mill patented by Messrs. Mylne and Thompson of Bihîa in 1869, and largely improved by subsequent modifications. The original patent having expired, thousands of roller mills are annually made by native artisans, with little regard to the rights of the Bihîa firm. The iron rollers, cast in Delhi and other places, are completed on costly lathes in many country towns. The mills are generally hired out for the season, and kept in repair by the speculator. The Râjâ of Nâhan or Sirmûr in the Panjâb, who has a foundry employing six hundred men, does a large business of this kind, and finds it profitable. Since the first patent was taken out, many improvements in the design have been effected, and the best mills squeeze the cane absolutely dry. Messrs. Mylne and Thompson have been successful in introducing other improved machinery for the manufacture of sugar in villages. The Rosa factory near Shahjahânpur in the United Provinces makes sugar on a large scale by European methods.
