CONSTRUCTION

In tho construction Of the NEW SUPE.
kIOR We use only the very best materials.
Every piece Of timber is air seasoned and
bone dry. The frame is made entirely Of
hardwood finished in the natural color snd
put together with bolts. Long rods run
nine, tkIo4gh each side hold the mill togeth-
or, nSikipg it strong and rigid. Note that
it is not nailed together rs is the usual
method Of construction. The upper and
lower shoes run in opposite directions thus
removing all jar srom the frame. 1t cannot
shake itself to pieces or walk itself around
the barn floor.
The drum, except the ends, is made Of
is suIe 70 occur with the old style wood
drum. Note carefully the way the drum
sets inside the frame. There are two good
reasons why this style is the best: First, it
protects thu drum and makes the mill more
compact. Second, the mill can be shipped
"set up" and ready for business when you
get it and take the same rate of freight as
tho old style knocked down"
The hopper is very large ann holds *
bushels.
The oat spout in front is of sufficient
height to allow bushel basket or measure
to be placed under it.
The drive wheel is extra large and is one
of the items which makes the mill run so
easily that it does not trouble boy of II.
The simplicity Of construction is bound
to. be appreciated by every dealer and farm
or who is Sc fortunate rs to sell and use the
NEW SUPERIOR. There are no complaints
and repair bills on account of complicated
parts.

METHOD or USING BLAST IN OLD
STYLE MILL

8@f
II you will note carefully, you will see
/ that after the grain which Is being cleaned,
leaves tho upper shoe, it is dropped thro
vertical volume Of blast. Again in this
operation 70 have decided advantage over
any other any othsr tanning mill made.
Forexample. When you want to whistle,
or blow out : match, do you open your
mouth wike. or close your lips and concen-
trate the wind where it should be and
whore you must have it to get the desired
result? You will see ct glance whore the
difference lies. instead OF allowing the
fan to blow the blast promiscuously, doing
little or no good, we concentrate it where it
will do just what is required OF it, and in
such q way that it can be regulated to the
greatest degree Of efficiency In this
operation the blast removes everything that
may have come through from the upper
shoe OF lighter nature but Of the same
or smaller size, than the grain that is being
cleaned This is called the cleaning pro-
cess.
After the grain hiss passed through the
blast, it is we'll cleaned OF all but the small.
grain, screenings, etc. It then drops on the
screen in the lower shoe. where all Of the
small grains, screenings, broken kernals
and timothy and in fact everything but the
best is taken out and the good grain per-
fectly cleane !, is carried over the tail and
into pile by itself or taken up by the
Dagger.

having the work done in a much
better way as the cross drilling
will materially improve the job,
making the land fine, and also by
correcting the mistakes in poor
driving, which amounts to con-
siderable with some drivers and
gives the weeds a much better
show, and a much larger share in
the makeup of the crop when it
is threshed. A trial by the grain
growers of seeding both ways, at
the time and in the manner
above indicated, will no doubt
make the practice become gener-
al over the grain growing Sec
ton everywhere, for if $25 a day
is the correct estimate, for doing
the work and as the work of har-
rowing the grain comes at q time
when the grain growers are not
very busy, by trying it, they no
doubt, the writer is sanguine to
believe, will be all won over soon
to the practice.
In a future writing, the writer
will discuss the corn problem and
endeavor to bring out some Of
the phases relevant to the cult
walton Of that crop and the pro-
duction of larger yields than have
heretofore been reported.
It is sufficient to say that if he
be asked if we can raise corn, af-
ter experimenting for ten success
sive years, with almost every
seedman's sorts, both dents and
f1ints, that he can forever settle
that question with one deep
word, and thus polish. the fact
with the single word, yes;
But before he takes up the corn
problem, will tell the readers Of
the Independent something about
our soil, and whence its great
depth, ETC., ETC., and point out
some of the reasons therefore
that perhaps are not very gener-
ally understood, but which the
writer thinks he can guess at
pretty close.

HOW THE SEPARATING, CLEAN.
INC AND SCREENING IS DONE

In the first place, We do not use the
blast on either upper or lower shoe, but
employ the most up-to-date and satisfac-
tory meth ID, and the same that is now be-
ing used in all of the large elevator clean
ers
When the grain leaves the hopper it is
spread over the first sieve in the upper
shoe. The grain that is being cleaned, as
we'll as everything smaller, will 20 through
the sleeves, but anything larger or longer
such as oats from wheat, will be carried
over the back OF the sleeves. This is
called the scalping process.

: WHAT the NEW SUPERIOR WILD Do

It will separate perfectly, oats or wild
oats from wheat or barley, wheat from bar
Icy, or any other mixed grain, and also
clean all classes Of grain or seed, including
wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas, beans,
buckwheat, millet, clover, timothy, alfalfa,
mustard, fax, ETC.. etc. In fact, there is
no kind Of cleaning that is possible for any
mill but what can be accomplished with
the NEw SUPERIOR, and with excellent re-
suits, doing the work perfectly and with
out waste.

Milwaukee Extension.

Contracts were entered into
today for the construction OF a
new railroad 1000 miles in
length, which will be operated by
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul road to tho Pacific coast.
The road will cross the Missouri
river twelve miles west OF Glen
ham, S. d., and then for about
fourty miles will follow the line
OF Oak Creek and it's tributaries.
The state line between North
Dakota and Montana will be
crossed about eight mile west of
the Little Missouri river. -Four
miles east Of Terry, Mont, the
new road will cross the Northern
Pacific by passing overhead. 1t

From Butte westward the line
will follow the Deer Lodge, He'll

miles west of Saltese, Mont,
where the ascent to the summit
of the Bitter mountains will COM

st. Joe river to within a few miles
OF it's mouth and will cross the
Idaho Washington line near
T9koa, Wash. The Columbia
river will be crossed by a bridge
OF fifteen spans, having a total
length of 1850 feet. About
twenty miles west of the Colum-
bia river q tunnel 3,4OO feet in
length will be constructed and
another two miles long will be
built at Snoqualmie pass. At

JpT A FEW MORE GOOD POINTS

E XIV .
In the now zinc wheat gang, each sieve
is separate IN independent, and is used in
several different separations. Thus it's
range Of usefulness is far greater than il It:
were fixed gang or hurdle.
The upper and lower shoes are the same
size, therefore all sieves and screens can be
interchanged from one to the other. This
greatly increases the number Of separations
which can be made without I needless
number Of sleeves and screens
Every mill is furnished regularly with l3
sleeves and screens, with which more separa-
tons can be made than double the number
in the ordinary mill.
All sieves are made Of No. 8 zinc and all
scr Gems Of the best annealed wire.
The impsrforate sections make the zinc
sleeves much more strong and durable, and
obviate the possibility of sagging.
Full directions are sent with each mill, so
that any farmer can easily operate it and
get the best results. This saves time for
the dealer; and time is money.
The peculiar shaking motion given both

ity Of clogging to minimum

THE NEW ZINC WHEAT GANG


AS soon as we conceived the idea Of get
ting away from those aprons altogether,
and making solid zinc sieve. We knew we
had solved the problem Of perfect separa-
ton. Every day We find new possibilities
in the NEW sUPBRIoR with the new zinc
wheat gang. We can't say enough about
it. II you had studied on this subject a.
many years Is we have, you could see how
much We have accomplished.
The five sleeves placed one above the other
compose the gang, the four lower Stoves
that have imperforate sections 50 arranged
that If oats should get up on end and drop
through one sieve with the wheat, they
must strike the imperforate section on tho
sieve below, where they must lay down and
then slide off on the perforated section Of
the sieve.
Every time oat kernels drop through q
sieve they always strike an imperforate
section on the sieve below and must lay
down before they 60 to be separated again.
Not an apron between the sieves to both
er and there is no other way out Of it, the
separation must be perfect.
Thus we have overcome all difficulties
and now offer in our NEW SUPERIOR mill
which will separate, grade and clean any
kind of seed aud grain perfe lily, and at
least & faster than any other tanning mill
made There is not one thing about it
that can cause moments trouble. You
can readily see how We have overcome the
difficulty. We make solid zinc sieve with
inperforate sections in place of the aprons
Simple, isn't it? And it does the business
too.

Fish Recipes.

The season of delightful Florida fish
is with us and while every hOusekeeper
thinks she has all the known ways OF
preparing them some one else always
has different way of doing things
when asked. Here are some ways
offered in Country Gentleman.
Boiled Fish.-See that all scales are
off. and wash the fish quickly in cold
water. Have enough boiling water in
the fish kettle to cover the fish. Add
two tablespoOnfuls lemon juice and
two of salt to a gallon of water. Draw
the kettle back where the water will
stop boiling and add pint of cold
water. then lower the fish into it.
When it comes to a boil, draw the ket-
tie back where it will boil very gently.
Half an hour will suffice for the cook
ing unless the fish weighs more than
six pounds. Lift carefully from the
water, drain well, slip on to a warm
platter, and cover with a drawn butter
sauce made as follows:
Drawn Butter Sauce.-One table
spoonful of butter, and two of flour.
Nett the butter by gentle heat, and
it thickens, then add one pint of cold
water. Stir constantly till the sauce
boils, then season with salt and pep
per, and serve at once Many good
cooks use boiling water in place of
cold, but, in the hands of an amateur,
the cold water will produce a smooth
er sauce.
Dreaded Fillets of Bass.-Use either
.f,ir q
smaller fish Clean and cut each fish
into six pieces. Season with salt and
pepper, dip in beaten egg, then in roll
ed and sifted crumbs, fry in deep fat,
and drain on brown paper. Serve with
tartar sauce, which is made by adding
chopped pickle. parsley and capers to
mayOnnaise dressing.
Bass with TOmatOes.-Select a large
black bass, clean the head, and let it
remain on the fish. Slice four good
sized tomatoes and cut each slice in
half. Make plain bread dressing, open
the fish, rub lightly inside with salt and
soft butter, and put the dressing and
tomatoes i'm alternate layers inside un-
til the fish is well stuffed. Bind with
tape or with narrow strips of soft mus
lin. Lard the fish with strips of fat salt
