I HAVE invented machine called
Whea. Ru5ber, for which obtained patent
.on the first day of this month. This machine
NAV be seen in operation in the mill.of Ma
thaniel Ellicott, Occoquan. Those nlillers
who feel an interest in investigating its me-
Tit and have not an opportunity of visiting
Occoquan, may be fully inform ID by appli-
cation to Mr. Ellicott by letter. My Nheat-
Rubber, 4 do verify believe is upon entire
new principles, the cost of erecting it tri-
-le, the ,naterils of which it is cmposed ca
silly astainable in any part of our country, and
the plan simple in the extreme any work
Inanof common capacity will be enabled to
erecti1 fromdescriptien only. Practical mil
1ar& know, that in great proportion OF the
wheat that comes to market from the man
mer ii is stacked in the fields by the farmers
and exposed to the weather. a number Of
sprouted and nnsound grains ulingle with
tnc mass, and has eluded the ingenuity
ofthe miller to separate it from tie sound
grain-;they also know those unsound grains
iniure materially the taste and color OF -four
my machine not only frees the wheat of
stone, onion, cookie, dirt, &c. but does abso--
intely take from it every lrnsound grain. from
what cause soever it may have been injured,
as my machine will not let any unsound
wheat pass it-millcrs may have their screen
wire much finer than hitherto used, and
thereby save considerably-it will also be
found that the grain in passing the rubber, is
polished, and that even the eyes OF the wheat
is picked perfectly cleanof dust or dirt.
Some instances having occurred of certificates
being obtained, saying much more in favor
of a new invention than the public are willing
to admit after trial. hope it will be suffi-
cient apology for my taking a different course
My price for the privilege of using the rub
berils fifty dollars for each Prir OF wheat
stones the mill contains.
Letters directed to me post paid shall be
