when this mill was built; it is sup
| POSED. however, that it was during the
latter part OF the Seventeenth century,
and some are of the opinion that one
OF the Cape's fishermen made It as
early as 1850 to pump water into his
salt watts. It is known for a certainty
that there were great many salt
works in the town of Yarmouthport
and the neighboring villages Of North
and East Dennis.
The salt works which were doing
business on the Cape 40 or so years
ago, each covered many acres Of
ground. The mills were erected near
the ocean, where sea water was OBJ
tainable. The mills pumped the water
up Into troughs, whence it ran into
watts" or wooden pans about IL feet
square. Not more than four or FIVE
inches of water was allowed in vat.
The sun evaporated the water, leaving
the salt on the boards which were
Rfterward carefully scraped of and
the salt canned This was a very
slow and expensive process. About
this time a new process was found
by which the salt was made much
more rapidly and at small cost, and 1t
was shipped into this country from
foreign points and could be sold at
half the price OF the native product.
So the old salt works and mills
were torn down and sold.
A few of the mills from the salt
making plants we're transferred to
cranberry hogs, where the cranberry
cultiyators used them to run their
pumps for flooding their boys to de-
stroy insects. moisten the earth in dry
weather and ward on frosts. The
pumps" Of those years were very
crude AFFAIRS. They worked on the
principle OF grain elevator, that is,
continuous chain running over a
wheel overhead At intervals OF sew
eral inches on the chains were fas-
tened cups" formed from narrow
strips of board. The pumps drew very
little more water than could be bailed
up with buckets The mill was con-
nected with the pump by means of
numerous cog wheels OF various sizes.

QUAINT OLD RELICS
Ancient WindmiIIs Make Cape
Cod Resemble Holland.
Odd Structures Nearly All Gone But
Those. That Remain Are Greatly
Priced as curIosities and Adorn
the Estates Of Many.

Boston.-A half century ago the
windmills Of Cape Cod were as nu-
merous as those in Holland. They
were used extensively in the salt
manufacturing plants, an industry
which was the fright arm of Massa-
chusetts" until q new process of
manufacture was discovered and the
salt was imported at such low cost
that the Cape manufacturers were
forced out Of business. The windmills
were also used in the grinding OF the
grain, and in not few cases the
powerful mill wheels were harnessed
to crude pumps to food cranberry
boys.
In due course of time, however.
practically all of these odd mills were
torn down. moved away as relics or
left to decay on their foundations.
Those that remain today are greatly
priced as curiosities, and they adorn
the handsome estates owned by sum-
! mer visitors from all parts OF the
country. The towns which still have
old windmilIs left enter into negotia-
tons with rich landowners, and offer
their relic for sale, These mills, by
the way. are constantly changing
hands, and it is said that each time
they are sold they bring higher sum.
These towns each have one of the old
time relics within their borders:
Harwichport Chatham, Yarmouthport,
Dennis, Brewster and Nantucket
island. The Nantucket structure.
built in the year 1746, and which is
/ as quaint and interesting as the island
itself, still turns to the amusement Of
permanent residents and hundreds Of
summer vacationists alike. In nearly
every case the mill stands out promi-
nently from the high hill on which ii
is located, a thing Of beauty which
may be seen from nearly any section
OF the village.
The Cape Cod windmiIIs, like those
of Holland, are awkward, box-like
structures, set on posts. They are
about 25 feet in height: some are
hexagonal, while a few were built
exactly round. So far as is known.
none were made square, as there
would have been too great surface
exposed to the winds.
The Oldest mill Of all is located at
Yarmouthport, small hamlet on the
south side Of Cape Cod, midway be-
tween the 'tip end Of the Cape" and
Buzzard's bay. This is covered with a
thick growth of ivy and is mass Of
