Peter Matthews is in trouble. Poor Peter!
Right close to the spot where the "wilted
dude' came to grief another adventurer has
fallen. He wasn't q dude exactly but he
didn't dood exactly what he started to do.
Tom Saunders relates the little episode with
gusto. -
Mr.. Anthony Dorsey, on Mr.. Ewing's farm
in Washington township, on July 9, was ix-
ing the elevator of a self binder when he fell
in front of the sickle. The mules kept
moving, circling round and round, and the
guards struck him in the back making q fear.
full wound. His left leg above the ankle was
also badly crushed. Drs. Wood and Nc
Donald were called to see him and pronounce
that he is very seriously injured. f.,
Mr.. VIM. f. kerdolff has thoroughly over
hauled and renovated his mill, filling it with
the latest improved machinery, and putting
in new conductors, elevators, spouts, &C., so
that he has practically a new mill. To do this
he has had to raise one of his walls II feet
and to make other alterations. He has spared
no expense to procure the very finest ma
chinery, and to put in his mill what he con-
ceives to be the very best process for making
patent or roller -four. He commenced work
on May 81, and began running last Monday.
His millwrights were Messrs. J. F. 4 J. W.
schupp, of Marshall, Mo-, formerly of St.
Louis, thoroughly well informed and COM
petent, mechanics and clever gentlemen.
Their work shows for itself. For cleaning
machinery Mr.. Kerdolff has a Barnard and
Lea separator; a Victor wheat brush, and a
Eureka smut extractor. In reduction he first
passes his wheat through a pair Of the very
through allthe phases Of the roller process.
The advantage claimed for the use Of the
burrs before the rollers Is that -four thus pro-
duced will not become clammy as will -four
made by all rollers. Many millers hold this
view, and contend that the combined system
Is to be the system Of the future. Mr.. Ker
dolff's roller system is Gray's Patent Noiselesl
Roller Mills, with / set of corrugated and
set of smooth rollers. He has q Victor I'M
derrun mill for returns, an Improved Martin
Centrifugal flour dressing machine, two pur
ifiers and an Excelsior Bran Buster. o
course the principal part Of the patent pro
cess lies In the boiling chests. He has now
reels where 2 formerly did the work. TIL
T Messrs. Schupp have made for Mr.. Kerdol
l 9 mill which is irst-class In all Its appoint
ments, the machinery being all the best of 1t
class, and the millwright work being done il
!. tip-top style, regardless of time or expense
Mr.. Kerdoln's engine, a modern one, wa
made by Jordan, and does Its work admira
bly,. The power is peculiarly applied and wit
great advantage. He grinds corn as well q
wheat. His warehouse facilities are mo.
admirable. For storage be has a separat
v building, divided into bins, with perfect col
troll OF the wheat to or from the mill and eac
bin. Altogether Mr.. Kerdoff has now a mi
that is at the forefront, and the Messr
a Schupp may congratulate themselves on the
o work. Mr.. w. A. Smith, the gentleman
miller, as well as Mr.. J. w Schupp, have on
y thanks for courtesies in looking through tt
machinery. Mr.. Kerdolff is now ready fe
the new crop, of which as well as old whea
d he has on hand a good supply. His -four
d everyone knows who has pstronized him
the past will be among the best that hums
Ingenuity can produce.
