Yesterday afternoon several Chicago
Gentlemen assembled, by invitation, AZ the
Fairfa. mills, Nos !, :; and 5 Hubbard
street, to witness the operation by tie"
Chicago Attriti"n PuIv-rizing Company.
The ufhters Of the uew company are as fol

Boon, MesSrs William Hansbrough, Per-
kins Bass, W S. Brewster, James Ostron,
of New York city, and MANY others. The
mllmcn present ail eoncurred in bearing
testimony that, on the score Of efficiency
alone, the machinery was vastly superior to
the grinding process in current use, being
more thorough, rapid, and, what is most
noteworthy Of all, never destroying the
quality Of the grain by heating. The flour
issues from the hill, under the new pro
cess, as cool and free from heat to impair
its nutritive quality as the grain when ii
entered the mill Concisey stated, the
claims made by the managers Of the
company, which seemed fully substantiated
in the trial yesterday, are these /. Nc
heating Of the grain whereby the gluten
and phosphorus, which are the most nutri-
tive properties, are by the old process al
most destroyed. , That the new foul
contains fourteen times as much phosphor
ic acid as the supcr6ne Hour produced il
the old way. 3. The mechanical process
is superior, there being NJ burning ofstone'
as required under the old system, anC
the product OF -four being 40 to 90 pc
cent greater from the same amount Of fue
and force, while the number of empoye
required in proportion to the produc
made is less than one-ha!f. Orders 0
