This visit was a most interesting one, as Mr. Spencer explained the workings of the machinery and many things about milling that, naturally^ we had never | heard before. The first thing that was shown to "us was a huge furnace which furnishes the steam to operate a large engine. This engine controls the power wheels of the mill. It has two steam cylinders, whose pressure operates a drive shaft and three eccentrics. This power drives a large wheel, which in turn is connected to smaller ones. A great steam pressure is necessary to furnish power to such a large engine. We also saw an immense oil burner: which will take the place of the steam j Mrs. John McHugh and children of I engine and will be less expensive to j Cincinnati, O., are spending several operate and will work more efficiently.

Martin at Grayslake. machines, which make it, at last, a fine, white product free from the other parts of the wheat from which it was ground. It is also sifted thru a silk material, which adds to its fineness and quality. The last thing we saw was how the flour is made ready for the market and the rapidity with which it is put in bags and securely tied. The whole process of milling as well las the machinery of Mr. Spencer's [mill is very interesting and educational. Rosalie Stilling.
