nets into the grain mills Of the West has
fulfilled the highest expectations OF those

binding harvesters. but they have revealed
tho singular fact that, Of the scraps OF iron
and steel which find their way to the mills
mixed with wheat, fully one-half arc some
thing besides pieces Of wire, and q larger
proportion of those are Of such . nature as
to be even moro dangerous to mill machin-
cry. The magnets gather everything of
this kind with unerring certainty. s.rr
