so requisite in cleaning as well as IN grinding grn
and when gone can not be renewed, consequently the
machine is rendered useless swell established that
no machine will clean grain well without an edge ana
ofcourse that eral which affords the geaest amount

take the precedence, and finally the place. OF an IRON

on the least reflection, that heading is no boast
but that have truly arrived at the long wished and
