NEW MACHINE FOR GRINDING CORN.
According to the "Mark Lane Express," a revolution in the practice of milling is imminent. Carr, of Bristol, has brought out a machine for grinding corn, without the intervention of stones of any kind, except for the purpose of reducing the inferior products of the grain which are left incomplete by the machine. The machine occupies the space of only 12ft. by 3ft., while it is said it will reduce with perfect ease from twenty to twenty-five quarters, or from 160 to 200 bushels per hour, thus doing the work of more than thirty pairs of stones, reduced to twenty-five by requiring five pairs to grind the semolina or middlings, and bran if required. The flour handles very soft, which in other flour would indicate a want of strength, and consequently a less production of bread per sack. It is maintained, however, that this flour will produce more bread than the common flour, and that it; fetches several shillings per sack more than that made by other millstones.
