all kinds AID sizes of dirt and sub

are eliminated and blown away. and
thence it passes down to the burrs.
Ground into meal, it is again taken up

then held ready for market
The process, being wholly mechani-

Inquiry on our part shows that the initial

not by tisticufs.
That is to say, Brady should have
