Removing Metallic Substances nom Grain.

The introduction Of grain binding ma
chimes employing iron wire TO bind the
sheaves very quickly led to the discover
ing that the bits Of wire, cut off each time
shief was bound, caused a great deaf of
trouble in the after process of grinding
The ends OF the wire mixed with the
grain reached the mill only to break and
scratch the stones and machinery, and
to produce friction and heating that
sometimes results III setting fire to the
mill. So serious became this matter that
the millers objected to receiving any
grain bound IN machines usipg wire. For
tudately the difficulty has bcen surmonnt-
ed BY the Introduction Of appliances for
removing the bits Of iron from the grain
before passing Il 70 the mill. Expert
ments showed that 4 common magnet
hung II grainspont would catch and
retain particles of metallic substances
mixed With the grain. Several methodist
accomplishing the same results are now
i'll use in Western mills. and they may
be divided into two classes; those using
permanent magnets. and those using
electromagnetic. II las been found that
dozen machine" magnets preferable
TO horse shoe" on account Of their shape)
hung III u graln-spout are sufficient to ar
rest every particle of magnet metal. from
pieces 1T wire several centimcters long.
down y iron filings and metallic dust.
The usual plan is to saw off i portion Of
the top 81 the spout and to divide it into
three pieces and cut holes in each piece
for the legs of' the magnets placed directly
or diagonally across the stream Of graia,
the diagonal position being considered
the best as the grain is driven
from side to side passlug. and
brought into close contact with the
magnets. The magnets may be Fitted
out Of tie spout il groups Of four by tax
ing of one OF the covers, and NAV then
be cleaned anl put back without disturb
ing the others Another method Of hang
ing the magnets is to cut three slots
across the spout, and hang the magnets

keep them in position. Bv this arrange
ment, the may be removed one at time.
or n groups of three or four, as most
convenient. BY taking out only por-
ton 81 rhe magnets at one time. enough
OF them remain to keep up the work
While the others are being cleaned. The
metal aahering TO the magnets is easily
brushed off, two clearings in day be-
ing found sufficient By employing bars
of soft iron in connection with coils OF
wire and battery, electro magnets may
be used, and III lifting ont the magnets
i will only be necessary to breaS the cir
cult, when tie metal adhcring to them
will instantly drop of, Anothes form OF
apparatus employs horseshoe magnets,
