The United States raises about $780,
100000 bushels of wheat annually,
| which is harvested in the Pacific coast
States in June, in the Middle and New
England States in July, and in Central
and Northern Minnesota and the Da-
kotas in August. About one-ffth of our
wheat is exported, and as a consider
able portion of the crop is grown in the
Middle and Western States, much of
it has to be moved either by rail or
water to the great market centers. 1t is
impossible in the limits of short arti-
Gle to trace the progress of wheat from
the farm to the elevators, thence to its
Its final destination as bread on the
tables of the people. One of the most
interesting processes of handling is at
the great elevators either at lake ports
or at the shipping points on the Allan
tic coast, The method of handling is
worthy brief description.
The elevators are enormously high
structures. If they were divided into
floors as office buildings are, they
would be fifteen or sixteen stories high.
Most of them have narrow upper sec
tons only about half as wide as are the
man portions. These higher portions
are lsed for machinery and grain
trar sferring devices, so there is no
need for as great width as the lower
floors, where the grain is stored in bins.
Some of the elevators are large enough
to hold 100000 bushels of wheat or
1S0000,000 pounds, equal to 10000
tons. Yet an elevator full of grain is
handled expeditiously and easily, since

LOADING VESSELS AT GRAIN ELEv AToR

the enclosed weighing bin as much
wheat as he pleases. When the yard
of the scale rises, indicating that the
amount of grain for which he gauges
the scales has poured into the bin, he
cuts off the stream and records the
amount which has been weighed.
BY another lever the platform of the
scales can be opened and the wheat
dropped into chute which leads to the
floor below. Here a unique contrivance
carries the grain to any of the storage
bins desired. Two wide rubber belts,
fully three and a half feet broad, ex-
tend from one end of the long building
to the other. The chutes from the va
rious weighing bins depend just above
one or the other of these belts. The
belts are operated on rollers which
curve up in such a way at their ends
that the belt is made to curve up in a
corresponding way at the edges. On

The box car is stopped with its side
door opposite one of these traps The
car is entered and a man with a steam
shovel climbs inside. A steam shovel
is made of boards fastened to-
gether. and is about three feet wide by
four in length. Near the top are two
handles by wnich the wOrkm>: may
pull il about. On the opposite side and
near the bottom of the shovel are fast
ened the two ropes. which by means
of steam power pull the shovel forward
each time after the workman sinks it
Gown into the wheat As the shovel
lowers the wheat in the car the work
man removes, one after another. the
side boards which are placed one above
another in the car door TO hold in the
wheat while it was being transported
IN the car.
As the wheat is thus being shoveled
out OF the car and down into receiv-
ing bin below the door. the machinery
is started which operates q transfer
belt that moves through this receiving
bin. The belt is fitted with cups which
Ill themselves as they pass through the
grain. Up mount these cups on the belt
until they reach the top floor Of the ele-
vateT, perhaps log OF Ire feet above
the point where they started Here. as
the belt turns in the descent, the cups
empty their loads Of grain into bins
which are 10 hold the cereal but tenn
poraxily. With chuteS ST their bottoms
these temporary bins ara connected
with weighing bins on the floor just
below. The weigher. by system o.
levers controlling 8 cutoff, draws into

nearly everything is done by machin-
cry or by power driven devices. AS
the movement of grain in the shipping
season is enormously greater than the
capacity of the elevators, it follows
that the grain is not allowed to remain
long in storage. Train are constantly
backing into elevators and boats pull
ing up to their sides to take on loads Of
grain and transport them.
Chicago is the chief depot of the coun-
try for making the transfer from the
producing points to those where grains
are to be prepared for consumption
Buffalo is the great transferring point
for the lake trade.
Most of the elevators are situated
where they can be reached by both wa
ter and rail, for while the heavy re-
ceipts come by rail, the big shipments
go by boat. When a trainload of grain
arrives at an elevator the cars to be I'M
loaded are backed into the elevator on
a track that runs down the center of
the building. At frequent intervals
along the floor there are trap doors
down which the grain may be emptied.

goes out from this one city than the
bare statement that the daily output of
the mills is about $1,000 barrels. If the
mills We're worked to their full ca
pacity they could produce about $4,000
barrels a day.
Flour for domestic use is usually
packed in barrels or paper sacks; but
most of the export -four, that which
goes to foreign countries, is packed in
cotton bags, and these bags are in
closed in jute sacks.
The Roller Process.
Nearly everybody is familiar with
the old process of grinding wheat for
-four between upper and neither mill
stones. The new, or roller, process is
now generally used. The process dates
in the United States from experiments
made at Minneapolis in 1873 and 1879.
In this process the millstones are re-
placed by pairs of small horizontal roll
erS, the surfaces of parts of which are
traversed by small sharp grooves par.
allel to the axis of the rollers. These
pairs of rollers are arranged in sets of
three, one above the other, with consid-
cradle intervals between, so that the
heat produced by the slight crushing
will be counteracted as the product
passes through the air on its way from
one pair of rollers to the next. These
pairs of rollers are adjusted so that the
crushing effect of any one pair IS
slight, and as many as six or seven
sets, making from eighteen to twenty
one pairs of rollers. are necessary TO
produce the various grades of flour.
The process of separating light grains
from heavy, and the foreign seeds,
grains and other impurities from wheat
is interesting. There are two processes:
The one is the process of sitting; the
other, that of exposing thin cascade of
falling grain to a current Of air. The
separation of mustard and cookie and
grass seed from the wheat may easily
be effected by passing the mixed grains
| over inclined plates perforated with
holes large enough for the smaller
seeds TO pass through. but not large
enough for the wheat. The oat grain is
separated by taking advantage Of the
elongated form. Tue mixed oat and
wheat grains are discharged in o thin

these mechanical means in both boats
and freight cars, but in each men with
shovels complete the distribution and
leveling process.
Minneapolis is the greatest Journals
ing center in the United States. 1t is
said that 100000 people could be fed
each day with bread made from Min
neapOlis flour without increasing the
present daily output of the mills. In
1899 these mills ground over 60,000,0O0
bushels of wheat. This represented the
product of $4,000 farms of 100 acres
each, the average yield per acre being
twenty bushels. The railroads had to
provide over 100000 cars to transport
this -four. The cars if made up into
trains would be sufficient to make a
full complement of 1880 trains. These
figures, perhaps, convey to the average
lay mind better idea Of the enormous
quantity of the worlds staple food that
