Our Touring mill has just put in a
steam ventllator. We went through
the mill last Monday, and found every
thing running at full capacity, and the
mill turning out flour fast enough to
keep one man busy at the packer. The
new steam ventllatOr puts hot, dry
steam on the wheat before it reaches
the first set of rolls. The wheat going
into the rolls hot, does not break up,
and the heart of the grain is not so
hard to sift out. 1t makes whittier and
better flour.
