Old Miller Got
50 Pounds Flour
From His Wheat

With a record of grinding 52k
pounds of flour from bushel of wheat
at the old Test grist mill in 1851, Dan
iel Sweeney, SO, former resident or
Richmond, claims to be the champion
miller of the country. Mr.. Sweeney
and his partner were awarded the
prize in competition with William
Mitchell, another miller. Their per-
formance on the old burr mill is con-
sidered remarkable by millers OF to-
day, who average 421@ pounds or Hour
from bushel of wheat, or ten pounds
less than Mr.. Sweeney ground.
To substantiate his claim to the
championship, Mr.. Sweeney. whose
home is in Burlington, Iowa, has had
his nephew, c. o. Tooker, North Ninth
street, look up the accurate account
of the contest in the Palladium files
He found the following story:
1.-The millers who contested for the
premium for the most and best flour
from ten bushels of wheat were
Messrs. Lynd and Sweeney and vii.
liam Mitchell. The former ground 6OO
pounds of wheat in one hour and forty
five minutes, producing 522 pounds OF
flour-52k pounds to the bushel. Mr.
Mitchell ground $50 pounds of Wabash
and red wheat, the flour Of which
weighed 576 pounds, the offal 14a
pounds, making 719 pounds, losing one
pound in the operation. The premium
was awarded to Messrs. Lynd and
Sweeney"
