MCGOWAN MILLING CO., TO DOUBLE CAPACITY‘ From “The Almerican Miller.” The latest cereal mill to be put into permanent operation in Can- ada is the oatmeal mill ,recently completed at Durham, Ont, by the McGowan Milling Company. Dur- ham is’ happily located in one of the “best grain growing sections of Ontario, and the company has a verv large part of its grain sup- plies delivered at the mill door bv the :growers. The trace-ks. of the C. P. Railway “pass through the mill property and there is private sid- ing" to the company’s mill and; ele- vator. While the Grand Trunk R’v station is but a quarter of a mile The principal brands of rolled oats are “Rob Roy” and “Chief- tain.” and although they have only been on the market a sort time there is a good demand for both bl ands in Ontario, Quebec. and the Maritime Provinces; The firm’s floods lmre finding an excellent sale for e’xport also. The comp-any deals in all kinds of grain and feed also. and it is the intention to build a new feed vplalnt next summer, and thus by having more room in the mill thev then will .be .alblle to carry out the present thought of in- creasing the capacity to 400: barrels of oatmeal per day, the plant having ample power for} this milling capacity.

The last is On the. first floor are four ver- tical oat sh-ellers,.mi11in:g separator, kiln. plate chopper, feed oat crush- ing roll and the. power and hand packers. The :office and storeroom also are located on this floor. On the second floor is a. 'part of the kiln, the flaking and cutting rolls, the hullin-g separator and stock bins for grain and feed. The third floor contains two hulling separators, the aspi- retors. rotary Sifters, two Coleman and Morton Oat Graders, two In- vin-cible Apron Wheat and Cockle Separators, one oat clipper and the dust collectors. In the attic are one Sifter, the dust collectors and elevator heads. Mr. C. Firth has resigned (his position as Secretary of the South Grey Agricultural Society. .Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Caldwell, of Lloydminster, Sask, are rejoicing over the arrival of a young son a couple of weeks ago. The grain elevator and the store- house constitute one building situ- ated thirty feet from the mill building. It is a frame structure covered with iron siding amd stands on a comcrete foundation. the elevator has a capacity of 35000 bushels of grain, and there is storage space for 5,000 sacks of feed. The power for its machinerv is obtained by a cable drive from the mill. The machinery for the plant was supplied and installed by the Goldie M-oCuilloch Com- panv of Galt, for a milling capa- c-itv of 200 barrels of rolled oats and oatmeal per 24 hours.
