which is a sand screen to take out the sand, and there is another 
which is larger, and one smaller. 
Q. What is the position of the place where these siftings and 
screenings go on with reference to the place where the cake is 
made ? — A. Oh, it is a long way off ; one is at the top and the 
other at the bottom of the mill. 
Q. How many floors are there between ? — A. Two. 
Q. How is the linseed, which, according to your account, is 
taken from the bottom floor to the top, conveyed there ? — A. By 
elevators ; it is taken through the screens and into the hoppers. 
Q. What becomes of the screenings and siftings ? — A. The

Q. They are taken out at the bottom ? — A. No. The sand is 
taken out at the top. 
The dirt and the lumps come out at the bottom ? — A. Yes. 
Q. What becomes of the rest of the screenings and siftings, 
such as dodder and rape ? — A. If we have anything but fine 
linseed in the mill it is used for the common cake. 
Q. Then the screenings and siftings which come out of the 
linseed are used for the common cake ? — A. If it is being made 
with fine seed. 
Q. If it is not fine ? — A. It is not put in. 
Q. What becomes of it then ? — A. It lies there till we use 
fine seed for the common cake. 
Q. I do not follow you — let me try to understand you : you 
have linseed containing things that you wish to separate from itj 
which I call screenings and siftings — it is a phrase known in 
the trade ?— ^. I do not know. 
Q. Do not blush — are not there cakes which are known as 
siftings cake ? — A. No, not to my knowledge.

believe to be the truth. 
Q. You never heard of siftings cake ? — A. No, never. 
Q. Now, as to the result of this screening, tell me what 
becomes of it — where is it carried to from the top floor? — 
A, The screenings are lodged in bags, fastened in a proper way, 
and they are put on one side ; the sand and the dirt is thrown 
away, and these other siftings that we have paid for as seed, go 
in with fine linseed if we are compelled to use fine linseed in 
making cakes at 25 per cent, below the price of pure.
