tend from one end of the long building
10 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 way at their ends
that the belt is made TO curve up in a
corresponding way at the edges. On
each side Of the belt on the surface OF
the floor is the rail of a track which eX-
tends the full length Of the belt. At
various points along the floor are open
ings into the bins below. To get thu
grain which has been dropped from the
weighing bin chutes TO these flying
belts into the lower bins requires the
use Of still another unique device which
runs on this track. This device is a re-
ceiver for the grain, and into this re-
ceiver the grain is thrown from the
belt. The belt is shortened so that it
reaches only as far as the bin which it
is desired TO ILL., The end of the belt
is then fastened in this receiver. which
is rolled opposite the bin opening. The
river Of grain comes flying along. and
as the belt turns under for the return
trip the grain shoots into a receptacle

capes from the machines, rendering the
place almost unbearable TO the man
who isn't used TO it. After the cleans
ing process is completed the grain is
once more taken by carriers TO the stor
age bins to await transportation. Long
chutes lead from these storage bins to
the places where cars or boats come to
be loaded. Each chute is movable, and
each leads from a bin to the slip

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 a transfer
belt that moves through this receiving
bin. The belt is fitted with cups which
fill themselves as they pass through the
grain. Up mount these cups on the belt
until they reach the top floor of the ele-
vator, perhaps $50 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

these temporary bins are connected

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 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 a short arti-
Gle to trace the progress of wheat from
the farm to the elevators, thence to its
destination in the Touring mill and to
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
main portions. These higher portions
are used for machinery and grain
transferring 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
1S0.000,OOO pounds. equal to 10000
tons. Yet an elevator full of grain is
handled expeditiously and easily, since
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
