This is to certify, that we have ia operation one
Of Fitzpatriek's Patent Smut Mills, furnished to US
by Mr.. Lysander d. Childs, and it gives us plea
sure to say that for economy in power. simplicity
of construction, durability, and perfection in clea-
| ming wheat, we consider il far superior to any rub
Der we have ever seen. Having heretofore tried
most ofthe best rubbers which have been in use for
the last fifteen years, and among the number, Beat
/ tvs, Hitzhelberger's, and Duvalps, (all of which we
have thrown aside as useless; } we unhesitatingly
pronounce Fitzpatrick's as far superior to any we
have ever before used as it is possible to conceive.

After a full and satisfactory test Of the benefits
arising from .sFitzpatrick's Patent Smut Machine"
| can but feel myself bound, in behalf ofthe milling
community, to make it known, and by these pre-
SCENTS do assert, that by its operation, the quality of
my -four is much improved, the complexion much
4 faiIer and clearer of specks. In short, no reasona-
| bic amount Of expense would be the least induce
ment for me to dispense with its operations. do
4 earnestly invite the millers Of the Valley, to call at
\ my mill, and let their own judgement prove my as
%sertions.

L have now one Of Fitzpatrick,s Machines for
rubbing and cleaning wheat, and find it answers my
most sanguine expectations. The construction of
it is simple, requires Blu, little power to propel. it,
and being made entirely ofiron, Wrought and cast
will require but little if any repairs for several years.
Wheat rubbed with this machine, so much improves
the color and quality of the -four, that from wheat
of fair quality, the whole product ought to be best
s~uperfinc. In short, l believe the advantages SO
great from the use of it, that would recommend
every miller, Immediately, TO have one put in opera
ton in his mill. JOHN LYON.

The undersigned, Inspector of Flour, for the town
of Alexandria, and for many years practical mille,s,
take pleasure in stating, that they have seen in ope-
ration, and examined with some attention, "Fitz-
patrick's Patent Smut Machine and have no hest
tation in pronouncing it, in their opinions, superior
TO any machine heretofore in use for rubbing and
cleaning wheat, and efectualIy freeing it of smut
and dust, white caps, and other matter that has a
tendency to darken and injure the quality of flour.
They have also particularly noticed Its effect on the
-four brought to this market-that from tho mills
where it is used being much whittier and clearer of
specks, than that from other mills, or from the same
mills before the introduction of this valuable inn
p%rovement. Its simple, compact, end durable con-
sruction, combined with the little power required
to keep it in operation, are additional recommended
tions to its general adoption. Believing it would
be a great acquisition to every milling establish
nent where flour is manufactured, they earnestly
recommend it to the attention Of millers generally.

From tho -Four Inspector Of Gsorgetoon, d.. C.

chimes, for cleaning and rubbing wheat, in opera
ton; and can say | believe it far superior to any
machine l have ever seen used for that purpose.

RIcHMoNp, March 10, 1889,
Having purchased of Mr.. Lysander d. Childs,
one of Fitzpatrick's Patent Smut Machines or Rub
bers for cleaning wheat of dirt, cheat, smut, and
other impurities, we have had il set up in our mill,
in a situation to receive the wheat after passing
through nearly all the rubbcrs, screens and fans,
heretofore employed to prepare it for the operation
ofbeing converted into -four. Its effects upon the
wheat, after so much cleaning, surprised US, and
we doubt not, that to mills not 40 well supplied
with machinery, it would be invaluable. Had we
known Of these machines when we were rebuilding
our mills, we would have adopted them in prefer
ence to our present stone rubbers, and dispensed
with a considerable portion Of our screens and fans.
The machines are simple in their construction, to
all appearance durable and not liable to get out of
repair. While performing, at the same operation,
the work Of rubbing and tanning the wheat, one of
the largest size requires to drive it the power ofnot
more than two or three or our fans.
