NEW INVENTION.

n PHILIPS & A. JACKSON'S Patent Gar
IL. lick and Smut Machine, for separating Garlick,
Smut, and Cheat from Wheat, &c.
The advantages Of this improvement consist in the
facility with which il can separate Garlick, Smut,
Cheat, or other impurities from Wheat or other grain,
and in the simplicity cheapness and durability of the
apparatus. Any carpenter, having seen one of these
machines can very readily make them
The wheat is efectually separated from the extra
matter by Of strong current Of air pro-
duced by the rapid motion of common mill fam and
conducted through trunk or ue, made Of plank, air
tight This trunk should be the full width Of the fan,
about foot deep where leaves the fan, and contract
ed about six inches the mouth point where the
wheat passes through The wheat falls from no
volvng screen, upon inclined plane, at the lower
end of which it passes through perpendicular aper-
ture to the current of air il enters the
of air the falling DIVORCES from perpendi-
culaT line, at greater less angle, according to its
specific gravity wheat diverging at angle of
about thirty and all light matter at angle of about
sixty degrees. The separation having thus been per-
fecy effected by the action of the current of air upon
the surface Of the particles of matter falling through
it, is preserved by of regulators slides adj
jused, to keep the wheat from the impure matter.
Garlck can be separated from wheat only in this way
and smut can be blown out whole which must be de-
cidedly preferable any mode Of rubbing, by which
il pulverzed, portion of the dust must adhere 10
the grain, and thus pass into the -four.
The utility of this improvement has been fully test
ed by experiments made with garlick in every stage
from that of green and sappy TO light and dry-and
the result in every instance has been entirely salts
factory.
The patenees take pleasure in offering this improve
ment to millers, and the public generally.
Letters from any part of the United States address
ed to the patentees at Leesburg, Loudoun county,
Virginia, will be promptly attended to-
