The Ottawa free trader., 1872-01-13

capable Of holding 10000 bushels of corn it has
three elevators by which 5000 bushels of corn
can be loaded in one hour; these elevators are
driven by al engine of 20-horse power As we
think the working of this elevator an interesting
item, We will here relate them A load of corn
Is taken on the dump, and BY means of this is
unloaded in about minutes, and thence it Is
AIKEN by tie elevator to the top of the building
and discharged through a spout into foy
sheIler thence II is carried down into the clean
ing blows, and then elevated to the top OF the
building again and discharged into the shipping
bin, a"d thence aboard the boat And eli this
Is done in less than an hour, SO that farmers
scarcely get out OF sight, after unloading corn,
till it is sheled, cleaned and loaded Tor shipping,
and ordinarily it takes but two men to conduct
the entire business of this elevator. Surely this
is ~ interesting process and worth considering.
