ROLLER FLOUR.
That would Make the Old
Fashion Miners Wink.

I'm a west side -four store the dealer dip
ped a little silver shovel, with u handle
that looked like vertical section Of n
button, into a bag of flour, and lifted half
q cubic inch Of flour out, and deposited it
on a board. Then be drew the little shovel
over the heap. smoothing 1t out so that its
color was pure white. A like quantity
from another bag, when smO0thed beside
the first, looked yellow, with very faint
specks in it. When seen in separate bags
the common eye could not detect any dit
ference between the two qualities.
''The first is roller flour and the other is
the old STYLE" the dealer explained. Zone
is free from dirt and husks; the other is
not. In the good old DAYS we hear about
the farmer used to carry his wheat tn mill,
where il was weighed, elevated into q
bin above pair Of stones, the upper one
OF which revUlved horizontally, and was
ground. The meal was then sifted through
silk cloth placed on revolving reels,
and the product was -four mixed with
PARTICLES of bran, fine dust from the wheat
bIn, and other dirt which accumulated in
the bins in ways better left to the magma
ton. There was also quantity of rye,
oat and cookie flour in it. Screens to sepa-
rate these obnoxious grains and loose
Particles of dirt have been devised, but
they are more or less imperfect. A few
years ago man invented a machine for
cleaning the grains of wheat, which, as
now used, is as near perfect as can be
imagined. In a perpendicular shell Of
steel plate reYolves a reel composed of a
vertical shaft, with arms extended to
within u fraction of an inch OF the she'll
The ends of the arms are connected by
strips OF metal. The cylinder of steel is
perforated by rows of narrow Stats around
its circumference and along its full
length. The wheat passes over couple
Of short screens through blast of air in
a spout, and then drops down on to the
head Of the reel, which is either dome or
dish shaped. The rec! rcyolves from $50 to
500 times minute.
The grain flies out against the she'll Of
steel and drops of its own weight between
the shell and the flying beaters. Centri-
fugal force presses each kernel against the
shell, and the heaters whirl it round and
round thousand times before it finally
drops out at the bottom and is conveyed
away in a spout against another current
Of air. As the grain flies round with the
heaters the smut balls and the little fine
beard found on the grain are cut off
against the sharp edges Of the perfOra-
tiOns Of the shell, and are blown out
through the perfOrations, and are carried
away by a current of air. When the
grain finally drops out it is polished till
it shines, and when il is ground the mil
Ter has nothing TO contend with but the
husk, or bran in his efforts TO make white
flour. Half a dozen varieties of these
smut machines are made and the owners

turned to look upon 1t when placed her
on the bench. When the parent of the
girl placed her in bed she was vet fast

sob and then to cry.
