MINNESOTA MILLS.
Three Hundred and Nincty-fl,e FIonr-
Mills, Operating $50 Run Of Stone.
81. Paul Pioneer Press.

There are scarcely few, il my, Who
have any adequate conception Of the
immense development Of the flour
milling interest IN this state. The
commissioners Of statistics made some
effort last year TO collect the statistics
Of the ilour-mills Of the state. But
not onc-half Of the counties respond.
cd to his circulars, and his statistics
81 the milling interest We're therefore
very iragmentary and imperfect. We
have taken pains To ascertain the num-
Der Of mills in every county III the
state, the owners, the kind of motive
power employed and the number of
rim of stone III each. Instead Of Isl
mills with Isl rim Of stone rs IN the
last report Of the commissioners Of stit-
tistics, there are iii Minnesota 395 mills,
operating ! ,iS9 run Of stone. OF these
mills Scare run by steam, 21i By water
power, 8 Ivy steam and water, while
are windmills.
lIenncpin county stands 1T the head
Of the list with thirty.one mills and
80 run Of stone, Of which twenty-onc
mills, carrying 1O1 rim of stone, are ut
Minneapolis, driven by tire magnificent
water-power Of st. Anthony Falls. 10
these more arc q 10 added this fall,
thu- placing Minneapolis Immediately
III tile head of flour manufacturing
cities Of this country.
That there are 395llour mills in Min
nesota, operating ,4s9run Of stone, will
perhaps convey no adequate idea Of
their manufacturing capacity unless
capable Of grinding ont twenty-five
barrels " flour IN - hours. If pushed,
therefore, 70 their fullest capacity
through the whole - hours, the ] ,19s
run III stone In Minnesota would grind
~ ,225 barrels Of flour day, rate Of
production which would produce III BOO
working days II. l67 ,500barrels Of flour,
consuming in the process 81, s37 5O0
bushels of wheat. 50 That We haye
now mills enough, if operated 1T their
full theoretical capacity, 70 grind about
10000 OO more bushels of wheat than
the highest estimate put upon Our ~
tire wheat cropof last year. OF course,
III practice, mills don't run THIS fashion.
Fully half tile mills iii Minnesota,
being custom mill-, run only during
part of the year. The merchant mills
frequently slut down entirely for
weeks.
