A HINT TO MILLERS.
■ ♦ ■• Mr Mudford obligingly brought under our notice how a little caution might save <t great expense. The other day a pulley broke at one of, his strippers and a piece flew right over the head of the feeder, which, - had it struck him, wou'd have meant sudden death; Another, portion went through the shed. There wa» no hing to be seen the matter with the wheel, but a peculiar sound had come from it for some time, and; it ! must evidently have been badly cast. He says that he would know: nowyby the sound, if any pulley wag wrong. Jt would be wise for the millers to insist on the engineer, 'to tap all the wheels before* starting work, and at any " knock off "time,, so as to detect flaws, on the same principle that all railway carriage wheels are sounded on ariTral and departure of trains. >
