Part of the salt manufactured in this

Part of the salt manufactured In this
plant is made by the vacuum-pan pro-
cess. In operating the plant the pans
are first filed by gravity, after which
the gravity supply pipe is closed, and
the valve in the pipe connecting with
the settlers is opened, the brine being
drawn into the pans by the vacuum
therein as the evaporation proceeds.
The water and the air pumps are in
serted, steam is admitted TO the steam
belt, and the process of manufacturing
salt begins. The atmospheric pressure
being removed from the surface of the
brine, the latter boils violently at a tenn
perature which seldom rises above 100
degrees Farenheit. The brine rushes
upward through the tubes, and under
the rapid evaporation the brine becomes
so dense that II can no longer hold the
salt in solution. Fine crystal gralne
are formed, as the liquid clrculates
through the large three-foot opening In
the steam belt. and falling TO the bot
tom of the pan they pass to the foot
of the elevator. whence they are taken
up and dumped into the drainage bins.
After the salt has remained in these
bins for period of sixteen TO eighteen
hours, II is drawn off into carts, wheel
ed to the storage bins and dumped. 1t
Is customary to use the pans for not
longer than twelve consecutive hours,
at the end of which period they are
emptied. boiled out with fresh water,
and cleaned. One of the pans is run
during the day and the other during the
night, each pan making in twelve
hour run from 600 to 700 barrels Of
salt, the combined production being
from 1900 to 400 barrels day.
In the manufacture of salt 1t Is a
recognized necessity that large guam
tity must be kept in storage, and for
this purpose the salt is dumped into
vast storerooms which measure from
200 to 300 feet in length, and the same
in width; the amount in store frequent
ly aggregated 4O0,O00 barrels. As these
rooms are from sixteen to twenty feet

VACUUM PAN PLANT.

of salt is dangerous operation, and
involves long delays; and to overcome
these difficulties, the companies have
used a compressed-air driven spiral
auger, which is ten inches in diameter
and provided with a double spoon
point. The auger is mounted on q
truck and the back end of the shaft
is attached to three-horse-power ro-
tary air drill machine. A row of holes
is driven into the salt wall at a height
Of ten inches from the floor for dis
tance of six feet into the mass, the
holes being drilled as closely together
as possible. After an interval of one
to three hours, fall of salt takes
place, mass equal to 400 or 800 bar
rels of salt being brought down in each
section. The saving of labor by the
use of the cOmpressed-air drill is shown
by the fact that sufficient salt can be
undermined and caved in this manner
in one-half day to keep the packers at
work for two or three days following.

The accompanying diagrams and
photographs represent the modern
state of the art. AS the brine is
pumped from the well, 1t is delivered to
the storage cisterns, from which 1t falls
by gravity to the settlers, and from the
settlers to the grainers. In the settlers
1t Is heated TO a temperature of about
40 degrees Fahrenheit. Upon being al
lowed to cool, the gypsum, which, If 1t
were not removed. would form a coat
ing on the steam pipes in the gralners,
is precipltated, and as soon as preclpl-
tation is completed the brine is drawn
to long box running across the head
ends of the gralners, and from the box

latter are long. shallow tanks, near
the bottom of which, and extending
throughout their full length, is n series
of steam pipes. The brine being ad-
mitted to the grainers, the steam is
turned on, the liquor soon acquires a
high temperature, and rapid evapora-
ton takes place. To assist the preclpl-
tation of the grains Of salt, the surface
of the brine is agltated at frequent in
tervals by means of series of paddles
which are operated by lever at the
end of the grainer. The salt accumu-
lates at the bottom, until in the course
of twenty-four hours there will be a
layer from six to eight inches deep.
The salt is lifted from the grainer by
means of long-handled, perforated
shovels, and is deposited on the run
away. AS soon as 1t is thoroughly
drained, it is shoyeled into carts, run
out over the storage bin, and dumped.

Prof. ii. i. Bolley, botanist of

ment station at Fargo, recommends
the following as the best and
cheapest treatment for wheat, oat
and barley smut: Make a solution
of 40 per cent formaldehyde, using
at the rate Of one pound Of the
chemical to As or so gallons Of
water. Pile the grain in heap
on the floor and wet the pile COM
pletely with the solution. Il is
better to shovel it over while wet
ting to prevent the solution being
wasted and insure the wetting Of
all the grain. Repeat after two or
three. hours. Barley and oats
must be made wet enough to soak
through the chat. The grain may
then be drilled at once but is bet
ter to wait until the following day.
For potato scab soak the whole
potatoes in the above solution for
two hours. They are ready to
plant at any time. There are two
grades Of Formaldehyde. F Werec-
ommend the best grade, as il is
more sure to accomplish the work
and is cheaper in the end.
