Most of us are familiar with ilosnt tats and retreats where life and ! health may be restored to human boeIngs Ings and animals but n. new and interesting - tOl'osUng phase is a sanitarium for grain. . Plants and flowers are subject to disease , and as the Joss of crops throughout the United States alone ] has been estimated at some eighteen million dollars , it becomes imperative that an effort should be made to save the diseased grain Very often farm' ers Jose the whole crop because of bo . .i- III II . o 000 ° ° b 77 m f0 t ( , Nurse In Wheat Hospital. ing compelled ] to harvest in wet weather. To the . new hospital , which is locat- eel at Port Arthur , Ontario , the farm- ers may send their grain to be treated and carefully nursed. After passing out of the care of the experts the grain is said to be cleaner and more whole- some than wheat which has not been subjected to this process. Convales- cent wheat has been stored away and kept in perfect health for several years. When the wheat m unto death ar- rives , a nurse places it in a bath of pure water , where it is brushed and scoured in machines made for the purpose until the grains are highly polished and in good shape for the mill. It is then placed upon a bed made of screening and subjected to a jamming process , first of hot , then of cold air , until it is perfectly dry. Again the graIn is subjected to an- other cleaning ] process , after which It is ready to be returned to the owner , with the guarantee that It is thor- . oughy ] cured. Strange to say , when It is weighed it seems to have lost nothing , and being all grain and no chaff It weighs three or four pounds heavier to the bushel.
