Important improvement.

more agreeable to the palate, hut.
what is Of greater consequence in
commerce, commands n better price
both in our own and in foreign coun-
tries. This improvement is thu reiore
an object Of national Importance.
But this improvement, originally
intended only to separate the garli,
from the wheat, proceeds in its opera
ton, not only to accomplish its par
ticular purpose. but to seperate what
ever is of greater or less size than a
sound grain Of wheat and also to free
liz from dust and soluble matter. which

cttaches to it. It also separates and
rarries off all smut or smutty grain,
which in some parts Of the cou ntry is
an evil equally pernicioos with gar

Should this method he generally
