THE MILLS START Ur.

Wheat Coming in Brisklv-How the
Grain is Ground.
The large flour mill Of J. NJ. Gambill
g. Co. started up yesterday morning,
and began grinding wheat.
The grain passes through seven
stands Of rolls before it is ready for the
last boiling. Each stand contains two
pairs of rolls. The first pair merely
cracks the wheat, and The other pair
grinds it a little finer, and so on till
complete. Thirty seven bushels of
wheat pour into these rolls every hour,
or about nine hundred bushels every
day
ct looks easy" said Mr.. Gambill as
big grains sank out of sight through
the glass opening in the pipes that led
to the rolls, but the hardest work is
at the office getting money to keep
that stream running"
Mr.. Gambill is now receiving wheat
at the rate OF two to three car loads Il
day and sometimes even more. The
bulk Of the shipments are coming from
the Shenandoah Valley, but the coun-
try is also furnishing ii good supply
The quality is tho finest ever yet
ground at these mills.
1t will be two days before the exact
result of the grinding is known.
