Flouring Mill Rotes.
The small flouring mills, well man
aged, pay well. The class of mills
now being built are small. This has
been accomplished by the workings of
tne snort system, not only because
the system opened up the way for
the small mill to get ic by simplify'
ing and cheapening the cost of flour
making outfits, but also because it is
based upon common sense and moves
npon legitimate lines. By short sys
tern methods wheat is used for mak
ing flour, which is just as it should
be. It may sound strangely to some
that it has ever been used for any
other purpose in a will, but it has
and is. The big mills use wheat for
making middlings, and while tbey
are wasting time and wearing out
machinery making middlings, the
short mills are making flour, nice,
clean, clear and white Hour, that can
be used anywhere in the world for
making tbe finest of bread.
