WARWICK MILL STARTS.

ed grinding last Saturday. and
although there is no roof over
their heads, a small army of men
are at work unloading hay, op-
Grating the mill and filling car
loads of sacks of the world famed
Arkansas Valley alfalfa meal.
The Warwick mill is connected
up differently from many mill the
writer has beheld, in that the
extra long line shaft, with an en-
gine on either end, operates the
plant, the drive wheels being
driven directly from the err:
gines, not a fraction Of killowat
of power being wasted, which
suggests an engineering, as we'll
as mechanical triumph.
Manager Dix and Secretary
Jewett are as busy as bees pre-
pairing the meal for shipment,
and are justly proud of their en-
cheering feat, enabling their
company to grind the hay at an
extremely low cost.
