FAMILY MILL, or "euerg man his oabn
miller."-Mr. David Flagg, whose ia
yentions have already gained him no
small reputation as an ingenious me-
chanic and man of genius, has lately
taken out letters patent as the inventor
of an improved and highly valuable
"Fam,iy MIL" And il the feudal Gus
tom of prescription for toll has not OBJ
tanned to be common law in our country,
we apprehend this invention will work
the loss OF many a white penny worth
to the merry mllers" The simplicity
of motion and machinery belonging to
this Mill, with the small cost of construc-
ton, being built of the requisite dimen-
tions and excellency of structure for the
sum of thirty five dollars, will place it
within the means to purchase OF every
thrifty farmer or small neighborhood:
and very little skill sutfices for its use to
make meal and flour of the first quality.
The space which it occupies, together
with the holt, is about the size OF COM
mon dinner table. The whole machin-
cry is moved by crank in the ordinary
manner of grndstone, and the strength
of only one man or well grown boy is
required to grind and bolt two bushels
in an hour. And besides the economy
of saving toll in the vicinity OF water
mills; in parts newly settled, where
wealth and the arts have made but little
progress, this mill, being transported
with facility, and made. as in ol d times
when women ground at the mill, an
household utensll, must prove highly
valuable; nor can it be less so in coun-
tries where water powers is distant, OF
supplied only during certain portions o,
the y ear. Gardinsr Maine Chron.
