ning. ResponsoH from most of the letters

The machine was designed lu the
loundry ofllce nnd Is the Joint pro
duction or the pioprlotors of tho lo
cal institution. The first ono made
was set up this afternoon and given
Its trial run, and found to run witii
loss power than the old stylo ma
chine, and ut the same time to do
more work, It does not chop ami
cut the barley, but crushes it, thus
retaining the meal and saving the
whole strength of tho grain.
It Is estlmatod that tho output of

it will do still more.
It Is tho intention or tho company
to make a specialty or tho machines
