MACHINE THAI MAKES PIES
v1stty That p Declared to Equal or
a.. .eazpsss That Which Mother
II. Ussd "a Make

This nation OF dyspeptica ought
to welcome the news that q ma
chine has been invented that
makes pies, declares the New
Mork Tribune. With seeming in.
telligence, almost human, this
machine will make and mix pies,
cut them to the regulation shape,
aatten and stamp them and slide
them into the oven to be baked
into the more or less in%digestible
productions so much in favor in
this country. If the inventor OF
this machine could only add to the
mechanical 'tontrivances with
which it is provided a cayernous
mouth, by which the pies could be
devoured when baked, it is prob.
able that haggard millions would
rise up and call him blessed.
The pie-making machine is pur-
suing it's relentless course at the
factory of a pie company in Phila-
deiphia. Its hungry nav is fed
by girls, and after the feeding the
process is purely mechanical un.
til the finished pie is taken from
the oven. One NAN, three girls
and the machine turn out from liz
to IS pie as minute. For those in
tcrested in figures it may be added
that the machine is about ten feet
long and twenty inches wide. An
electric motor furnishes power
and a gas jet keeps the forming
pies warm. Over the machine is
suspended a tank with filling for
400 pies, and in it an agitator re-
wolves to keep the materials from
blocking the outlet.
After the paste for crusts has
been properly mixed it is weighed
and cut into properly sized pieces
by a dough divider. A tray full OF
Jumps Of dough for bottom crusts
is placed at one end Of the ma.
chine and another tray, contain.
ing Jumps for top crusts, at the
other end. At one end il a stack
of plates automatically fed by Il
ratchet. A magnetized arm
swings round, picks up a plate
and places it on a die made to re.
ceive it. A piece Of dough is
placed on the plate, and the pcxt
movement brings it under a die
which forms the lower crust.
Then the fruit is deposited on thc
crust from tho tank and the plate
moves forward.
BY this time another lump Of
dough has been flattened out and
stamped with an initial, such as
a." for lemon, while an automat-
ic bellows blows a puff of Aour
over the dough to keep it from
sticking. The next movement
brings the filled pie and the upper
crust together, an operator being
ready to adjust the top cover If
necessary. Then the covered pie
comes under the edgipg die, which
cuts off all tho scraps, and the pie
passes forward on an apron,
which leads to the oven.
So, with the motor humming q
lively melody, the mechanical pic
maker merrily plies it's trade, a
steady stream Of pies lowing
from it's interior ovenward, to be
later placed before the patron of
the "quick lunch" counter as of
the variety that is equal, If not gu.
perior, to that made in the old
farm kitchen, No wonder that
the old-time culinary art is fast
passing into disfavor with the

has spoiled their business and they
