Old Brockway again to the Front.
This time with a brand new Roll
er Mill with capacity of G5 barrels
of -four per day. think it is due to
the many intelligent farmers of this
vicinity that you shall have a partial
description of our new enterprise.
The Magic FIGURING Mill is owned
by William III. Ballentine and Nath-
an Vanorman. The building is a
four-story structure, substantially
built of stone, wood and iron. The
work of putting in and connecting
the machinery was done by J. G.
Frazier, of Vassar, who is, if I am
any Judge, first class mill-wright.
He was, however, backed up by an
able corps of assistants. The work
is done in neat, thorough and sub
stantial manner and is credit to all
concerned. Each department is
complete in every respect and de-
signed by J. Il. Noycs 81 Co., of
Buffalo, N. Y, who furnished the
machinery to do first-class work from
top to bottom. They also furnished
the plan for the building.
The proprietors have secured the

of Fairbank scales which has a ca
pacity of weighing so bushels of
wheat at once and into which you

reel which separates break flour from
