means OF trap in the bottom Of the tub it is low
cred to the thstOry, where it is spread out on the
moor to the depth of one foot, into what is called
couch. Regularly, three or four times day
this ''couch" is turned and watered and much care
and attention are required to secure uniformity in
the 'growth" of the grain. The root first sprouts
and grows to the length of quarter or half inch
AS soon as the grain shows that the spear is swell
ing, the ''couch" is then ready for the kiln and il
is Immediately placed on the sheet-iron floor The
process OF drying requires more care and skill than
any other part Of the work The grain is con.
stantly watched, turned and worked, and the TEN

this department, the grain is worthless for
brewing. When it is properly dried and col.

Is graduated, and all the roots or "growth" toge-
ther with dust and small gravel fall through As
the grain passes along through the seve it reaches
me point where the holes are sufficiently large to
allow 1T to fall through into hopper which con-
veys 1t to the mill or rollers and it is crushed be-
tween them. Filth of anv kind which is larger
than the grains of barley is carried through the
SIEVE and deposited in box. As the crushed grain
falls from between the rollers it is caught by eleva-
tors and carried into the ground malt store-room,
where it is bagged, ready for sale. Three of the
aoors, each afording over five thousand square
Itet' are USED ior growing and preparing
the barley for the kns, and four "couches" /"
or twelve hundred bushels of grain, are con-
stantly undergoing the process of turning and wa

made per week. which is not sufficient to supply
the demand Heretofore the malt used in this city
mas been brought from Albany, and n small guam

Tor malt is imported from Canada, being of much
inner quality than that raised in warmer latitudes
In dimensions and capacity for the manufacture of
malt this is the larpast of

services OF one of the most experienced malsters of
England, Mr.. William Broadrib, and are deter
mined to build up business, second to none in the
