MILLS OF CAPE COD
Old Time Relics That Remind One
of Holland.
Ancient Structures Stay on the Job
In Spite Of Their Advanced Age
No More Like Them IN the
United States.

New York-"is this HoLanl?' asked
a siXyearold boy from New York o.
HIS mother as he saw an old windmill
on Cape Cod when he alghted from
the train.
And Well he might ask this question.
as these mills, now valuable land
marks. remind one of scenes iu tioi-
land-the awkwardlookipg square
boxes supported from the ground by
means OF posts with great fans con-
nected with their tops.
one of the greatest spectacif= on
Cape Cod is it's old mills. There are
only a very few of these. they arc
not found IN every village, by any
means. A canvass shows that there are
only a mere half dozen on the cape;
but there are no more like them iu tho
United States
Years ago these structures We're
built for the purpose of grinding corn
into meal, or pumping salt water into
wooden watts TO manufacture salt by
evaporation Although the salt works
disappeared many years ago, and most
of the mills cannot be used for grind
ing grain, they are worth more in their
present state than at the time they
were built. Summer residents, for the
most part, have bought these mills and
had them removed to secluded spots,
where they will be free from devasta-
ton.
There are mills in the villages OF
HarWichpOrt, Brewster, Chatham. Var
mOuthport and Dennis. and one on
Nantucket island
The oldest is at Harwichport. and is
known as Bakers mill" This one is
said TO have been built in 1890. There
are only a very few shingles on its
walls at present and TO the casual
visitor it looks only Rood for kindling
wood
At Brewster there is one of these
mills which is still in good working or
der. It's owner, Henry Hopkins. black
smith. does a great portion of his work
with it. He saws all his fire wood with
its power. grinds grain in large guam
titles, makes cider during the fall.
and uses its force in many other ways.
Summer visitors are often entertained
for hours at a time watching it work.
Mr.. Hopkins is able to grind a hun
dred bushels of grain in an eight-hOur
day when there is a fair breeze. De
spite the fact that ordinarily it takes

a ten or twelve horse power engine to
turn a saw with sufficient speed to
saw logs into firewood. the owner cuts
all his wood without difficulty and does
it as quickly as he could with an en-
CINE.
The mill has four fans" each of
which is about fifteen feet long and
six feet wide. On these are stretched
strips of tough canvas; these form the
sails" Each fan is set at a slight
angle, so that the wind blowing
against it forces it over. 1t is made
on the same plan as a connon Wind
mill. The mill is faced tOr3l the
wind, so that the whole force ones
against the surface of the can,ae The
whole mill itself sets upon a er-- OF a
railroad track" the wheels [ ming

is wonderful with what ease .hese
mills are turned; it requires ol'y
slight pressure of a wooden st * to
whirl the mill When it is St 1T the
desired angle and all is ready the
fans are unclaimed, and round goes"
the wheel. Inside there is a rumbling
sound much like that of distant thun-
der, a speeding freight train or the
whir of revolving paddle wheel on a
side-wheeler steamer. The mill shakes
considerably. and anyone who hap
pens to be in 1t rushes out the door
all except the owner. who smokes a
pipe and acts as though he was enjoy
ing himself immensely.
The mill is also made TO turn grind
stones, separators, washing machines,
and the like.
