Millstones, as used just before the introduction of roller ; milling, wére from 4 to 414 feet in diameter, by some 12 inches in thickness, and were usually made of a siliceous stone, known as buhr-stone which came from quarries in France. Now the great bulk of flour is made in roller mills. This is the type used in Port Perry. Such mills are automatic, i.e. from the time the raw material enters the mill until, it is sacked, it is touched by no human hand. At first the roller mills were used .work-of-erushing the wheat. . .. . About 1830 a Swiss engineer named Sulzberger, constructed a somewhat cumbersome mill, a greatly improved type of which is in general use to-day. _A wheat berry is covered with several layers of skin, and the first work of the mills is.to tear this outer covering by means of the break or grooved rolls. The result of this "breaking" gives three products, semolina, middlings, dunst. = There are two types of middlings--the flour producing kind, and that which is used in connection with bran for cattle feed. The processes of cleaning, grinding, separating and bolting are very interesting. The flour receives endless crushings, siftings and refinings, and the way in which the product is conveyed from one part of the mill to another leaves the ordinary individual in a sort of maze. The conveyers are hundreds of feet long, and unless they receive constant 'attention, they become clogged, largely through the activities of what is known as the Medi- terranean moth. This creature does some manufacturing on ifs own account and continues to turn out a fluffy product which can effectually spoil the efficient working of the mill. Recently the Port Perry mill has been thoroughly renovated and put into up-to-date condition, so that this local factory is just as competent to turn out a high class product as is the finest mill in the land. * It is merely a question of size. The Port Perry mill can do the work--but it cannot do it on the same scale as the. bigger mills. ...earnest endeavour have won for the Standard Bank of Canada that in- [raluable asset---Dominion Wide Pub- lic Confidence.

WEIR The greatest problem in road bu ilding in this locality was overcome when the permane % nt roadway. was completed between Scugog and Cartwright, A great amount of money_ was spent in providing transportation facilities from the main. land to the Island before the roadway was an accomplished fact, while the Scugog bridge problem was a "Hardy Annual" that seldom failed to provoke warm discussion nd heated argument in the County Council. For several years after the settlers began to come to the Island, a large scow propelled by oars served as a ferry by which passengers, cattle and luggage were transferred to and from the mainland. There are various stories told about the old scow and the difficulties of transportation. The following are taken from Mr.-Farmer's-book-"On-the-Shores-of Scugog." "Early one-morning the Jacksons made up their minds that they would seed their newly cleared Fallow with fall wheat. So they got their horses, wagon, seed, feed and supplies for a day or two. These were all loaded on the scow and they were ready to start. They were living at Shirley at the time and did not stay at their Island property permanently. The morning was so foggy that there was some hesitation about starting out on the trip, for the scow leaked badly having been exposed to the sun. But the sun peeped out and it was thought the fog would soon pass away. The big oars were manned and the trip was begun. Travelling was necessarily slow and when they were halfway be- tween the mainland and the Island they were confronted by two difficulties--they were lost in the fog, and the scow was leaking so that only by pumping out the water constantly were they able to keep afloat. The fog had not lifted and there was hard work for everybody on board. Some were at the pump and the others were at the oars. After rowing for some time and apparently getting no nearer to land they found themselves becoming hope- lessly mixed up in the bogs. Then they started to shout, and in this way attracted the attention of a family named Keser, who were then living on the south end of the Island. The Kester men answered the shout, and John Jackson was able to recognize the voices, learn where they were and steer his outfit im the right direction." "At another time John Thompson, George Gilbert. and his son--a young fellow of seventeen--started out on the ferry from Paxton's Point to the Island. The lake was much rougher than they expected and the animals on board became frightened and started to struggle. They included a team of horses and a yoke of oxen. Young Gilbert was holding them, but they became un- manageable, and carried the man overboard. George Gilbert sprang to save hjs son, who clutched him so tightly that both of them were drowned."

It It is interesting to watch the milling of the wheat, and if you ever have the time to spare to follow the course of the whaet until it becomes flour fit for the finest baking you will find a ready guide in Mr. Stover of the Port Perry Milling Co, who is intensely interested in the mill, and is taking a thorough pride in making this institution one of the best in the country. " It is intended to put the Port Perry product on the market in the most attractive form, and you can look for further infor- mation as to the baking suitability of this flour, and the guarantee that is being offered with it. In a Most Critical Condition A tragic accident happened just seuth of Port Perry on Mon- day, when Maurice Midgley was shot by a 22 rifle. The circumstances were these. Maurice was cultivating a field, and his younger brother, Ross, was in the locality shooting sparrows with the rifle. , Maurice thought he would like to have a smoke and asked Ross to. drive the cultivator for a touple of rounds. Ross climbed on the cultivator taking the rifle with him In time the old scow could no longer meet the requirements of the traffic, and people began to think of a roadway. But a roadway at that time seemed too great an undertaking, so a floating bridge was constructed in 1856 by John Bowers. Ac- cording to Mr. Farmer the first rigs to pass over the bridge formed a funeral procession. John Jackson had fallen from a load of hay and was killed. The floating bridge was not quite complete and several loose planks had to be laid on the stringers so that the body could be taken for burial to Pine Grove Cemetery. Owing to thé shifting ice in the spring it was' very difficult to keep the bridge in place and in repair. On one occasion "A strong wind blew the bridge from its moorings and the steamer Woodman had to be employed to tow it back into position." It is said that it was never straight after, and that thie accouns for the twist in the present road which was built on top of the old bridge. Mr. James Baird, editor of the Observer, who visited Scugog occasionally, seldom failed to remark on the condition of the bridge, and to poke fun at it. In a report of a visit in May, 1869, he says: "The bridge suffered terribly in the late floods, in fact it is almost wrecked. The past winter found it in a good state of repair but it has left it.in a deplorable condition; so much so, that it is very far from being safe and will require immediate attention and considerable outlay.

Plt iy at the County Council in 1870 that the bridge might be built in some place where it would not cost so much to maintain it. The suggestion was also made that Reach and Scugog should assume responsibility for its upkeep. This latter suggestion was taken seriously and the County made an effort to put the burden over unto the shoulders of the muni- cipalities concerned. The County would have begn glad to get rid of suth a "Thorn in the flesh." They sought legal advice, but the lawyers, Harrison and Moss, decided the County was respon- sible for the bridge, they granted, however, that the County could put a toll gate on-it to raise funds. A considerable amount was required most every year to repair the structure. It is said that $25,000 were spent before a permanent roadway put an ena (0 ble? : = $he trouble Continued on Back Page and laying it across his knees. The mext thing Rois knew, the rifle had disappeared, and he heard a report. Stopping the horses he saw Maurice going across the field. After going a short dis- tance he fell.
