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
sheet upon an inclined thin iron plate
perforated with round holes at Inter.
walls nicely determined by experiment
abundantly large for the passage Of
both the oat and the wheat grains II
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 hole An In
dividual hole is of such diameter that
when the wheat grain, sliding forward,
carries its center of gravity beyond the
support of 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 chaff pass on with the oats
The dust, smut 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 a vertical cylinder, the surface OF
which is covered with brushes, and
closely fitting iron case perforated with
numerous Sits or holes which serve The
double purpose of making the surfac
rough and providing an escape for the
separated dust. Round seeds are sep
arated by taking advantage of the sll-
perior velocity they acquire in rolling
down an inclined plane as compared
with the long grains, which slide. The
former leap an opening into which the
latter drop.
By these and kindred processes 1t Is
now practicable to obtain good wheat
from a sample of spring wheat OF
which not more than one-half Is tit TOT

The United States raises about $50.
900. coo bushels of wheat annually,
which is harvested i'll the Pacific coast
States in June, in the Middle and New
England States in July, and i'll 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 i'll the
Middle and Western States, much Of
1t 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
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
1S0.00o,000 pounds, equal to 10000
tons. Yet an elevator full of grain is
handled expeditiously and easily, since

Buffalo is the great transferring point
for the lake trade.

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-
eeipts come by rail- the big shipments
go by boat When a trainload of grain
arrives at an elevator the ears TO be un-
loaded are backed into the elevator on
track that runs down the center Of
the building. Al frequent intervals
along the floor there are trap doors
down which the grain may be emptied.
The box car is stopped with its side
door opposite one of these traps. The
ear is entered and man with steam
shovel climbs inside. 4 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 workman 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 1t
down 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 floor, the machinery
is started which operates 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

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.

From the window Of the chapel softly
sounds an organs note,
Through the peaceful Sabbath cleaning
drifting shreds Of music float,
And the quiet AMI the freight and the
sweetly solemn tunes
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood and
Its Sunday afternoons;
When we gathered in the parlor, in the
parlor stiff and grand.
Where the hairclotb chairs and sofas
stood arrayed, gloomy band,
Where each queer oil portrait watched US
with u countenance of wood,
And the shells upon the whatnot In
dustless splendor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with
the quaver in its tongue,
Seemed to trenble in its feryor AS the
sacred songs were sung,
As we sang the homely anthem, sang the
glad revival hymns
or the glory of the story and the light
no sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and
the evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled IN
the drowsy little town.
Old and young we sang the chorus and
the echoes told 1t DER
In the dear, familiar voices. hushed or
scattered eyermore.
From the windows of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture in the freight fades be-

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, 1t 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.

The death angel has again en-.

as its victim, Mrs. Minnie Crock.
er Norton, daughter of J. II. M.
and Rookie Croker, who was
born in Hardin County, Tennes.
see July7, 1877; died June l, 1901.
at 2:40 p. M; age % years, 10
months and 2 days.
She was married to John Nor
ton with whom she lived happily
for about fifteen months. She pro-
fessed faith in Christ at the age of
IA and joined the Methodist
Church, South, in which she lived
n consistent member.
Her health had been failing
for quite awhile; but she WAS
a patient sufferer, never complain
ed and was submissive to God who
doeth all things well; and upon
her death bed blessed the Lord
for her Affections. Not only in
her family will she be missed, but
in the Methodist Church and in
the community in which she live d
and was loved so much. She
was a christian indeed, realizing
and rejoicing in the power of
Goodness where ever she went;
faithful Sunday school worker
and the orgsnist Of the Bethel
Church.
AS a member of the church
she was loyal and devoted, al.
ways attending upon its services
whenever her health would per-
init; doing with her might what
soever her hands found to do.
1t may be we'll said of her, "She
did what she could"
But she has gone from ms,
leaving a husband besides other
loved ones and friends to grieve
over her departure. But mourn
not, loved ones, as those who
