The main building is SOx5O with a shed

rolls IN each set, pair of stones for
grinding corn and one for feed, one Of
the latest improved corn crackers and
crushers a hopperscale that will weigh
60 bushels, and an improved Silver
Creek Hour packer. 1t can turn out
go barrels of flour per day. There are
eighteen elevators for flour and one
for wheat, seven "scalpers" and six
FIGURING bolts.
The wheat runs from the scales into
an elevator, and is carried TO the stor-
age bills in the upper story. From
