generated from a dynamo on the premises, and work is kept up continuously for 18 hours a day, the output averaging during that time 475 quarter sacks of flour, 17 piculs of sharps, and 70 piculs of bran. The flour is made from Japanese wheat, only, and is remarkable for its strength and for the sweet and excellent bread that results from its use. For the baker it is most desirable flour, for when used by itself it gives a gain of 45 to 48 per cent., whereas American flour gives only 25 to 30 per cent. gain, Experience has proved that those excellent bread is made from a mixture of Californian (Sperry) and Nagasaki flour, which also gives in making an increase of 40 per cent., which in itself is a matter of grent consideration to bake who work on a large scale and who ha large contracts to fulfil. The proprietors of the Nagasaki Mill declare that travellers passing through or staying at that port, who have tasted bread so nade, assert that nowhere outside of Paris or Vienna do they find the bread so good. The French fleet use the Nagasaki flour, which in itself is no slight recommendation, and it is very -gely in use in Yokohama and Hongkong, where its quality is highly appreciated. The sharps and bran also find a ready sale at Yokohama and Hongkong, where they command good prices owing to their punt; as compared with the native products which

It is only necessary to watch contain a very Inge perountage of dust the process of milling to see how much dirt is eliminated from the grain, which in the case of native productions is included with the bran used. It is also a well known fact that horses should be fed on bran which is entirely freed from flour, and this can only be properly effected in the roller mill. Tt will therefore scarcely be credited, that, the managers of the Shanghai Horse Bazaar refuse to use the healthy and pare Nagasaki bran, but pre-for to continue using the filthy stuff which is supplied by the natives.
