Milling Thirty Years Ago and Now. Something over thirty years ago when 1 began milling, the French burr mill-stone was very popular, and it required as much if not more , experience to train, bafanco and „dress the mill-stone, than now with all our modern improvements. At that time, to get all the flour from the wheat it was necessary to grind very closely as it was all finished by one process and on the one stone. However, the flour though dark in color had a sweet, nutty taste that is far superior to any made at this day. Ask your grandmother about it and she will tell you the same. The color was a detriment to the. flour, so the inventive genius got busy and concluded by using a small mill-stone to regrind the middlings or Cornell, as it was then called, and ’ rebolting it, they could grind higher on the first miU-stone, thereby not pulvering so much of the wheat bran, also bringing the < color iip on the flour. So it did, but the flour did not retain quite so much of the sweet nutty taste. This was the beginning of our gradual reduction process of grinding wheat into flour. Soon after, followed the middlings purifier, a sieve machine with a fan to carry off all the impurities from them.® But the flour was still too dark to suit the fastidious housewife. This new machine had proved a success toward making the flour whiter and detracting a little more of the sweet taste of our grandmother’s bread. Then after a few years, the inventor again tried his skill by introducing the rolls. The first rolls were made of porcelain and did not prove 'Successful, but constant experience changed them from porcelain to chilled iron, as well as getting the differential in motion down and the corrugations both coarse and fine to suit the kinds of work,tbus finally-perfecting it. The result being a still whiter flour but a lessening of the old nutty taste, so that it is all gone now except in a few of the low grades of flour. All of these changes bring us to about six years ago. At this time the flour was good, but once in a while a little of the germ and gluten would work into it. Os course there is always some of it in all flour or bread could not be made, but a little too much would get in, throwing off the color and giving the miller no end of trouble. Once more the inventor brushed the cob webs from his brain and brought forth a process by which they could electrify the flour and make it still whiter. So today we have the whitest flour that was ever made and used to sustain the bodies the human family. However, at every move we have lessened its nutritiousness; but what has become of it! When, we first began to grind high and make a great deal of middlings to grind.on the pony millstone, a small part of it went oqt in the feed bin to our hogs and cattle while some went into the bran. Then the purifier threw a little more over to the stock feed bin and at last the rolls flattened the gluten germy substance out of the oily parts of the wheat berry, so that this slid over the silk bolting cloth in feed. Now we come to the electric process which is so arranged that theoxygen is all burnt out of the ajr and makes what is called gas. This gas is forced into an agitator into which the flour also enters and the gas kills the nutritious part of the flour to a certain extent. But still it whitens it so that nothing but the starch in the wheat is left to give strength to the No wonder so many people have stomach trouble and revert to bran and middlings for a diet. No wonder breakfast foods are used so extensively now, for they are made from the germ

and gluten of the wheat. But the vitality has gone out of the most of our up-to-date flour, so that if you wish to eat, live and feel good, go to some old country mill, buy a sack of white middlings and make biscuits of it; then you will find a taste that excells any bread you can make out of the so called high patent flour. Or go to some of the big mills and buy law grade flour and you will be sure to get the stuff that is easy for your stomach to digest. The sweet, nutty taste is gone from the flour never to return, We will live on just the same, for we have to please the women and will make our flour white, though we kill the poor fellow who eats it or hasten him on to the great Unknown, where everything is as dark as it used to be, or as light as it is now.

Miller Bros, The Land Tax, This is a tax levied on real and personal property which is to be applied on the roads, and may be either paid in cash or worked out by the taxpayer, at his option. As this forms in many townships the bulk of the road fund, it is of the utmost importance that every dollar thus expended should be accounted for in a thoroughly strict and business like manner. .Is this done? Let us see: First * every mortgage up to S7OO is exempted and this means nearly a day’s work with a team in each instance, Second, instead of giving the supervisor a free .band in building solid continuous permanent roads, each taxpayer who works the road'insists on putting in a little strip in front of his premises Or along his farm and further insists On doing the work in the autumn' rendering the roads wellnigh impassbale in many places. If gravel is hauled it is avoided by the public who persist is destroying , every semblance to a ditch by using the ditch for a highway. No account is kept of hours of work but each day’s effort no matter how long or short is receipted for a day and oftimes the supervisor hateds out receipts on work he never sees and this leads to the natural suspicion, that it might be given for work that no one even could see. In our article we are going after this land tax graft with facts and figures to show the erronous cost of one mile of nondescript gravel road under the present laws, M. O, Connel, Jr, Warsaw, Ind. Fancy Porcelain lined cooking : Utensils. Miller Bros. Letter From Joe. Weaver. a A letter received by W. G. Connolly from J. B. Weaver at Wagon Mound, Mexico, dated Oct. 22. says: f “We have been having some, very windy weather lately, and this morning it is snowing to beat the band, We have had every kind of weather imaginable in the last week—hail, rain, snow, wind and sunshine. Although, taking eaerything in consideration, we think New Mexico is all right. “This township has been all settled by homesteaders with the exception of a few claims not quite so desirable. There were but two or three houses here when 1 came, but now it is quite thickly settled. We have no school or church nearer than Wagon Mound, ten miles. “Mrs. Weaver joins in sending regards to ail. Yours truly, J. B. Weaver, Subsidy Defeated. The townships of Eden and Clearsprings of Lagrange county recently voted against the proposed subsidies of SIO,OOO for the Wawasee, Topeka and Lagrange trolley line. We hope this will not deter the promoters from the building of the line as we feel it would ba able to pay for itself in a short time.

THE MONARCH PAYS FOR ITSELF I xfWk wny try to § "get along” * : ,< . . I “She had done her best—A leaky range was to blame.” ■ Frequent failures can’t be avoided with an ordinary steel range or cook stove. g Why put up with such embarassments and inconveniences? Why not know the delightful satisfaction of always having your work perfectly done,—th. t corn from using a Monarch Range? You might just as well have one. It will effect a saving in fuel mid repair bi: ■' ,t. iii a | time will PAA 7 ITS ENTIRE FIRST COST, “It pays for itself.” Let us SHOW you how it' : I I

IVs because of the Monarch’s Construction There is no MYSTERY about this. We can explain it to your entire satisfaction. It’s simply that the Monarch is built differently from others. Unbreakable MALLEABLE Iron is used for those parts that are made of brittle cast iron in all of the “common sort” of steel ranges. Frames of this material are joined to the steel of the body and oven by cold driven rivets, forming permanently air-tight joints.

To Users of two to five uear old Steel Ranges: § Bear in mind that the Monarch not only pays for itself, but for unlimited years it will do your work with one-third to one-half less fuel than other ranges use. So it’s not economy by any means to continue to use a common range, though it is only a few years old. It’s rank] exfravagance. Make the change NOW.
