Completing the outfit was a hand press that's what they called it, but it needed a ten-horsepower motor to run it; a flat press which went back and forth under a heavy iron roller that was turned with a crank like a clothes wringer. My whole outfit seemed to have come from Noah's ark. Most of the type was nicked, having suffered from the blows of Myrtle's wooden hammer.
As soon as it is completely cleansed, it is softened by heat and moisture and then passed through a set of corrugated rollers, which are adjustable as are the rubber rollers of a clothes wringer and which flatten and break the grains. After this first crushing, some of the bran is sifted out, while the main portion of the grain is put through another set of rollers and crushed more finely.
Kimball says, if we back him up, we can begin right now to have a paper of our own an' easy get to be what they call a 'state issue. It's easy seen as Mr. Kimball is all ready to be a state issue; he says the printin' press is a four horse-power an' he's sure as he can arrange for Hiram Mullins to work the wringer the day he goes to press. Mr.
"Grandma, can't you put her through the wringer?" asked Prudy, laughing. Dotty sank in a wet heap on the floor, and held up her ailing foot with a groan. "Why, child, barefoot?" cried Aunt Louise. Dotty said nothing, but frowned with pain. "It is a cruel thorn," said her good grandmother, putting on her spectacles and surveying the wound. "Yes, 'm," said Dotty, finding her tongue.
"Oh, yes, mamma!" they all cried at once. "I'll turn the wringer," said Curly, "for I am good and strong." "And I'll put the clothes pins in the basket and have them all ready," said Pinky, for, though she was only a little girl pig she could easily carry the clothes pins. "What can I do?" asked Flop, the other little pig boy.
But, unfortunately, he lost his balance, and before he knew what had happened to him had fallen from the pocket and lay sprawling on one of the giant's shirts, which was just then passing through the wringer. The woman did not notice his fall, and the next instant he was drawn between the two great rollers, and came out on the other side as thin and flat as a sheet of paper.
Would she buy one in order to use the swinging wringer as an obvious menace to herself and to her household? No. In selecting an Iron, the woman looks for: 1. A weight of household iron that is around six pounds. A general design that is easy to handle, of good balance and with comfortable large handle grip. A thin sheet metal hood; weight in hood decreases ironing efficiency.
Around and around Curly turned the wringer handle, and the clothes came out like corn out of the popper. "Oh, what fun!" cried the little pig boy, and his brother and sister thought it was very jolly to help their mamma. "Now, you may run away and play for a while," said the pig lady. "I have to get the rinsing and bluing waters ready." So Curly and Flop and Pinky ran out in the yard to play.
"Oh, my dear," murmured Bess Harley wickedly, and loud enough for the girl in brown to hear her, "she is in a dreadful temper. She certainly will put these poor sawneys through the wringer tonight." Rhoda Hammond evidently took this "with a grain of salt." She asked, before going to the office: "What sort of instrument of torture is the 'wringer, please?"
Little belts descending from this shaft operated not only the churn but a washing machine, a wringer, a corn shelter, a lathe and several other machines with so much success and saving of labor that even grandmother herself smiled approvingly. "And that's all due to me!" Halstead used to exclaim once in a while. "If I hadn't burnt up that old churn, we would be tugging away at it to this day!"
