A Dalle Man In Minneapolis.
Mr. 8. L. Brooks, of this city, who
with. Mr. Brooke is on an extended
Visit to the Pan-American exposition
and many points East, recently spent a
while in Minneapolis visiting the (treat
flouring mills of that city. Of one of
them he writes to Mr. E. J. Collins,
under date of October 4th :
Yesterday I visited the largest flour
ing mill in the world, in Minneapolis.
It now makes 15,000 barrels of flour in a
day. On and after November 1st the
daily output wili be 21,000 barrels,
enough to feed bread to every person in
Greater New York, Boston and Phila
delphia. Just think of the train loads
leaving this mammoth mill each and
every day in the year. The head man
of this great institution told me that
they used 75,000 bushels of wheat daily
at this time, and November 1st a pro
portionate amount of increase would be
required. One thing that struck me
waB the great quantity of dust taken
from tiie 75,000 bushel- two tons of
dust, not dirt, each day. That of course
does not include the lumps of dirt, bad
grains, oats, barley and seeds, etc.
I wish I could tell you the number of
burrs in use. and the number of roller?,
The first floor is 175x175 feet. It is
filled full of these grinders and toilers,
so close together with but a narrow pas
cane of three or .four feet between each
tier; and they till set so close to each
other that there is only room enough to
let the oiler reach in aud over to oil the
machinery.
The mill's motive power is four-fifths
writer and the other fifth steam. I think
if I remember correctly the total power
required is 18,000 horse power. I know
when I was told, it staggered me.
I forgot to ask how many persons
were employed. I should think four or
five hundred. In the packing depart
ment men are as thick as they can well
land and work. The floor is packed
mostly in barrels, cotton sacks, 50
pound paper sacks. And 12'.,, 24', 49
and 100-pound sacks are used tor export.
The barrels are used for domestic pur
poses. It was amusing to see the empty bar
rels received into the packing room.
Just think sixty Dtirrels each minute
and yon can somewhat comprehend the
magnitude of this, the greatest bread
euppiying device on earth.
I fcrgot to mention one of the great
belts that is aefld in connection with the
po-.vt.-r (baft. It is nearly 3-S thick and
2 feet wide and 1100 leet in length, is
made of 6ole leather riveted and weighs
a little over a ton. Its cost I have for
gotten, but I think about $8000. I un
derstood that these cables were to be
used instead of the old idea of belts.
The water wheels were nearly six feet in
diameter and of the Lafelle manufac
ture. All the milling machinerv was of
theOilisA Co. make. I don't' thiuk I
eaw but few bolting chests, sifters were
used instead, as the sifting process gave
better satisfaction, not only in quality,
but in the final operation a less loss in
production. In' the milling process the
W .eat is examined as to the amount of
fluten in each lot, which is bought with
Ctre and is numbered. It is then thor
oughly cleaned and made into flour. A
sample is tested and goes then to the
baker, whose oven is heated by electri
city. It is then weighed, made into a
loaf and weighed again ; then baked,
weighed again ; measured lengthwise and
crosswise: cut open and agaiu carefully
x twined and tested. If it passes mus
ter it is reported as Al : if it fails on in
spection, the miller is notified and then
..change is made and graded according
ly. If Al a sample is kept in a glass jar,
ueakd and numbered. This process is
going on continually ; as often as new
lots of wheat are brought in. The object
of this is that in case a complaint is
made of inferior flour fas each shipment
is numbered as to quality) it can be
looked up and seen where the blame, if
any, tests.
I forgot to say on vieiting tiie mill I
eaw a once its bigness. It is of stone
The lower story is massive. The wall,
I think, is close to four feet thick, and
of solid masonry. With the roll of all
its machinery one can scarcelv feel a
jr in any part ot the building, let alone
a vibration.

Naw York, Oct. 15 Grain shippers
at thie port are allowing their grain to
remain on the steamers and to be brought
back to thie country and shipped again
to Its destination, in the expectation Of
some improvement in the grain lituation
in the meantime, eavs the Boston corre
spondent of the .Tribune. The Furness
Line steamer Columbian, which leaves
London Wednesday for thie port, will
bring back a good portion ot her out
ward cargo ot 45,000 bushels of wheat.
The Virginian, of the same line, which
Balled October 6th for London, will bring
back 16,000 bushels of wheat which she
carried out. The Fnrnees steamer Ap
pomattox, operating between Newport
News and London, Is coming westward
witn 40,000 out of 50,000 bushels of grain
shipped. This curious state of affaire Is
due in part to extremely low trans
atlantic freight rates prevailing and
partly to the scarcity of warehouses on
the other side and the resultant high
storage rates.

CIoe Pintail of Long Race.
New Your, Oct. 15. After a voyage
and race of ten days down the coast fiom
from New Brunswick, two three masted
rchnoners, the Ninirod and tiie Sarah C.
Smith, reached this port yesterday, half
a minute apart. The Nimrod came in
first. Not until the official starting time
is received from Hlllsboro, N. B , there
fore, can the faster craft be determined.
The winner will be favored by a
cement company in the transportation
of its material from Canada, says the
World. While the race lasted the vessels
were constantly in sight and within
hailing distance of each other, and every
yard of canvas was strained and every
conceivable device of nautical skill
employed by the skippers to gain even
the slightest advantage over the other.
The distance is 800 miles.

the hibratory of the United States Health reports. It is absolutely devoid
of the slightest trace of adulteration, but on the other hand is composed of
the beat, of malt and choicest of hops. Its tonic qualities are of the high

possibly be found."
