The box car is stopped with Its side
door opposite one of these traps. The
car is entered and a man with 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 which the workms., may
pull it 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

man removes. one after another, the
side boards which are placed one above
wheat while 1t was being transported
in the car.
AS the wheat is thus being shoveled
out of the car and down into a receiv-
ing bin below the floor, the machinery
is started which operates transfer
belt that moves through this receiving
bin. The belt is fitted with cups which
fill themselves us they pass through the
grain. Up mount these cups OH the belt
until they reach the top floor of the ele-
yator, perhaps 16l or 10 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 to hold the cereal but tenn
porarily. With chutes at their bottoms
these temporary bins are connected
with weighing bins on the floor just
below. The weigher, by system of
levers controlling cutoff, draws into

The United States raises about $50.
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-fifth of our
wheat is exported, and as a consider
able portion of the crop is grown Iii 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 hrti-
Gle to trace the progress of wheat from
the farm to the elevators, thence toits
destination in the Touring mill and to
Its final destination as brend on the
tables of the people. One of the most
Interesting processes of handling is Mt
the great elevators either at Like ports
or at the shipping points on the Attain
tic coast. The method of handling Is
worthy brief description.
The elevators are enormously higl,
STRUCTURES. If they were divided into
floors us Office buildings are, they
would be fifteen or sixteen stories high
Most of them have narrow upper sec:
tions only about half as wide as are the
main portions. These higher portions
are used for machinery and grain
transferring devices, SO there is nc
heed 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, OF
1S0,000000 pounds, equal to 10000
tons. Yet an elevator full of grain is
handled expeditiously and easily, since

goes out from this one city than the
bare statement that the daily output of
the mills Is about $4,000 barrels. If the
mills were worked to their full Gu
pacity they could produce about 10000
barrels a day.
Flour for domestic use is usually
packed in barrels or paper sacks; but
most of the export flour. 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
flour 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 MS the product
passes through the air OH 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 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. The mixed oat and
wheat grains are discharged in thin

Of the Congress that free State SAM

the matter ended. The doctors stated
a condition and suggested remedy.
They did all in their power to awaken
public interest. Human life is cheap,
however, and 1t will take years of agi-

The civilized man has softened his
feet, crushed their bones together and
diminished their efficiency by com
pressing them in tight, hot shoes, has
weakened his ankles by placing around
them bandagcs Of thick leather, tight
" drawn with laces strong enough to
hang him. We owe to the shoemaker,
therefore. our sprnined ankles, our in
grown nails, our corns and bunions, our
bills for salves and plasters. The say.
age knows nothing of these things.
They are the heritage Of civilization.
So far as athletic sports are concerned,
however, 1t is probably true that in con-
tests Of strength and endurance, the
civilized world athlete Is the equal,
perhaps the superior, of the savage, but
this is not due to his civilization, but
to the fact, TINT in sense. he com.
bines the best and most healthful feai

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.

his landing not greeted with some out
bursts of recognition by the rain pow
ers.
Three years ago he entered the port
Of Philadelphia on one particular occa-
sion. For whole month not drop of
rain had fallen, and the residents of the
city were praying hard for some small
relief from the depressing heat.
As the barge entered the harbor a
large steamship lifted anchor and al
lowed himlto make fast to the wharf.
A few newspaper men gathered about
the boat. jotted down the name of the
captain and the cargo he brought Iii,
and the next day small item appeared
In the papers telling of his arrival, but
not one Of them thought of the godsend
which this little barge brought with 1t.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
captain saw all things arranged safely
and repaired to his cnbn. When night
came on the stars became overshad-
owed, dark clouds lowered on the hori-
zon and distant penis of thunder were
heard. The captain knew then that his
charm had not failed him. Soon the
storm gathered in all its forces and APP
preached the city to let loose its fury.
For full week after the captain land
ed 1t rained continuously. There were
no more heat prostratlons, and the hos
pitfalls discharged their weather pa
tients.

Berger has been regular visitor here
with crossing stones. He generally

Attention has often been called to
the extent to which rural neighbor>

city life, but 1t Is only by grouping some
of the Improvements that the change
which they are bringing to pass is made
clear. Good roads, scientificially. built,
are no longer found III the cities only,
but III remote towns, built by State OF
County aid. or through well-directed To-
cal energy. Not only do they add
greatly to the pleasure of country life,
but they tighten loads for farm horses
and enhance the value of farm prop
erty. The extension of trolley lines is
an inf1ucacc working in the same direc-
tioh. Ten years ago there were less
than two thousand miles of Cur tracks
in the, United States OH. which electric.
ity was employed; now there are nearly
twenty thousand. un.il five or six
years ago the electric car was rarely
seen save on city streets, but the larg-
est part of the Aew construction of the
last few years has been on rural lines.
The trolley-car lures city residents into

The telephone, Mt first play thing, then

the country of late years. Through 10.

presented end foremost perpendicular
ly to the plate. But as the plate is in-
clined, each berry must be tipped for
ward in order to enter a hole. An In
5diyidual hole is of such diameter that
when the wheat grain, sliding forward,
carries its center Of gravity beyond the
support IF the upper edge of the hole,
the forward end of the grain has not
reached the lower edge, and thus the
wheat falls through. The oat grain,
however, being longer, is supported by
the forward edge of the hole until the
forward end of the grain reaches the
further edge, and thus the oat grain
slides down the plate. Fragments of
straw and chaf pass on with the oats
The dust, mut,and rust which may
cling to the berry are separated by dis
charging the impure grain into the
space between what may be regarded
as vertical cylinder, the surface of

numerous Sits or holes which serve the
double purpose of making the surface
