Ancient WlndmiiIs Make Cape

Odd Structures Nearly All Gone But
Those That Remain Are Greatly
PHxed ss curlosltles and Adorn

Boston.-A half century ago the
windmills Of Cape Cod were as nu-
mcrous AZ those In Holland. They
were used extensively In tho salt
manufacturing plants. an industry
which was the right arm OF Massa-
chusetts" until a new process OF
manufacture was discovered and the
salt was imported ut such a low cost
that tho Cape manufacturers we're
forced out Of business. The windmills
were also used In the grinding OF tho
grain, and In not a few cases tho
powerful mill wheels were hanessed

boys.
In due m OF time, however.
practically all OF these odd mills were
torn down, moved away as relies 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 Tho towns which still have
old windmills left enter into negotia-
ions with rich landowners, and offer
their relic for sale. These mills, by
the way, are constantly changing
hands, and II is said that each time
they are sold they bring a higher sum.
These towns each have one OF the old
time relics within their borders:

Dennis. Brewster and Nantucket

green foliage. II IL not known exactly
when this mill was built: IL is sup
posed. however, that Il was during the
latter part OF the Seventeenth century,
and some are OF the opinion that one
OF the Cape's fishermen made Il as
early as 1850 to pump water into his
salt watts. II Is known for a certainty
that there were n great many salt
works In the town OF Yarmouthport
and the n%eighboring 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 real

tainable. The mills pumped the water
up into troughs, whence 4: ran into
"yats" or wooden pans about 12 feet
square. Not moro than four OF Ave
inches OF water was allowed in a vat
The sun evaporated the water. leaving
the salt on the boards which were
aftervard carefully sefaped of and
the salt canned. This was a very
allow 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 II
was shipped into this country from
foreign points and could be sold at
half the price OF the native product.
SO the old salt worka and mills
