For about three months the North Chi
cage Rolling Mill Company have been ex-
perimenting at Milwaukee in pudding
iron direct from the blast furnace, and now
believe they have made the process thor
oughly successful. For the past two
weeks they have run four double-double
pudding furnaces in this way, and the
iron made is of very superior quality.
They effect q great saving in fuel, tighten
the labor Of the puddler and his helper,
and save o great deal of time. They are
able in q hours to get out the usual five
heats of . 12-hours' turn. They experience
10 difficulty in keeping the product of the
blast furnace uniform, and have thus far
met with no obstacles that they have not
been able to overcome. They believe they
are the first to successfully accomplish
this feat, and predict the inauguration ofa
new departure in puddling.-Te BRletia.
