The Mlller,s Congress.


The Miller's International exhibi
ton, which opened in Cincinnati OF
Monday of this week, is attracting :
large attendance from all points il
this country, and Europe has also
sent some of its best machinery as
we'll as its best men. We extrac
the following from the Cincinnati
Gazette's account of the plan of tho
deposition:
To machine men, working ma
chinists as we'll as manufacturer.
and founders, and to civil and prac
teal engineers, the test of the auto
matte cutoff engines of the Coylis'
type will be of surprising interest
At Paris there was but one of these
engines, and at the centennial there
were three. But those at the centen
NAL were of divers power, and til.
five here entered for competition ar,
all Of 200 horse power.
The grain department of the exhi
bition has caused the national graf,
congress to chose the occasion fol
its annual meeting, which will b.
held i'll the grain room of the exhibi
ton. There will be delegates to thi,
congress from every large city of the
country, each chamber Of commerce
or board of trade sending five or te,
of its members. The grain room
will be supplied with bulletins te
note the. telegraphic reports of the
grain markets, so that the grain de
partmcnt of the exhibition will re
semble a grain exchange. All the
western and northwestern States
send grain aud flour samples, and
there will be flour samples of the
famous Budapest brands, sent here
from Hungary. To millers and flour
men these foreign flour exhibits will
have strong attraction, for, con.
corning the Hungarian and Austrian
flours, it is said that their third grade
Of white flour is superior to our
American first grade. The grain
will be tested by grinding and the
flour by baking in the exposition
buildings.
In milling, there will be some ten
complete mills on exhibition, half q
dozen of them in operation. No
such opportunity has ever before
been afforded the general public fol
learning the mysteries of the new
process lin flour making by the EN-
ployment of middlings purifiers
which are machines of recent inven
ton, made famous by the heavy
Cochrane suits at law recently de
cided by the United States supreme
court adversely to the so-called Coch
rane ring. The suits were important
in the patent line. The purifying
machines had come into very general
use, and many firms were manufac.
turing them, when the G .chraue
folks suddenly got a patent, and then
sued for infringement. It was to
meet these suits that the MiIlers'
National association was first formed,
and the association, through its exec
cutive committee, finally conducted
the process to a successful termina-
ton, the millers being ali protected
in their use of the machines. Curl
ously enough, it was the end of those
Cochrane suits that has now caused
this internationa; exhibition; for
when those suits were decided, the
association, having now no other
grand idea to hold it together, took
up the scheme of holding this exhi-
bition, where the nations could com.
pare notes in agriculture, Touring and
baking.
The department of baking will
have for its main attraction the Wien.
ma bakery. The ovens of this will
be fired but twice during the cxhi
bition, each fire furnishing enough
heat to bake eighteen days. The
fire, after having heated the walls, is
rakcd out, and the baking is done by
the heat contained in the walls of the
oven. The bakers have been brought
from Vienna, and the bakery will be
in charge of the same firm that had
the bakery at the centennial-Gaff
Fleischmann & Co. There will be
other bakers and baking apparatus.
as also stoves.
In fact, the exhibition will cover
its field as completely as possible
taking the grain through all it's pro
cesscs, from the berry to the bread
cakes and pastry; and there will, in
each branch, be diverging lines to
cover the minor details. Among the
foreign exhibits, besides the flour and
the baking, there will be machinery
and apparatus from Austria, Hun
gary, Switzerland, Germany, England
and Canada. The only reason why
France is not included this time is
that the letters sent over there didn't
get the correct French twang, and
went to wrong addresses, and there
was a mutual mystlfication between
sender and receiver that was funny
enough for story.
In the aesthetic line there are to be
floral displays in milling designs,
such as mill-stones, hoppers, fioul
barrels, ETC., and there is to be an old
water mill under the cascade and an
ancient mill Of Abraham's time, such
as Sarah used when she "quickly
ground three measures. of meal fol
