into a Daisy flour packer which
weighs and packs it into the sacks

There is a pair of large platform
scales outside the mill. The farmer
drives on the scales, gets his wheat
weighed and then dumps it into a
hopper along side the wagon and it
is conveyed into the mill where it
passes over the rougher and the straw

into the large separator where all

pulling a slide the grain is dumped

the cleaning works. which formerly
was blown out of doors or into a dust
room, which is liable to explode; but
by these collectors it is collected and
spouted wherever wanted, thus doing
away with all danger and the extra
work.
Another new feature in this part
of the country is the mode Of crushing
barley. The barley is cleaned and
then put into a steamer. Then it
goes through the rolls where it is
