T^HE windmill of Silas Swift at West Falmouth is a landmark. Built in1787, its centennial was appropriately noticed in 1887. There is onlyone older mill in this vicinity—at Nantucket. The peculiarity of this milllies in the fact that for one hundred and more years it has been in constantuse, and was never more serviceable than it is to-day. Mr. Swift carrieson a flourishing flour and grain business, and depends upon the old mill^to do the grinding. 177
