Uneuualed Flour and Grain Mills.

rHNHIS Grist Mill has never been equaled, either in
l. its simplicity, portability, conpacness, or beau
ty of design The frame and casing are Of cast
IRON us also the hoppers. casting consisting of
trpcshaped basc, with three columns resting uopn
it, constitutes the framework which supports the
casing The casing is the cylindrical portion, or main
body Of the Mill, resting upon and secured to the
columns and serves the purpose OF incloslng and
holding the in their places. The casing Is made
in two equal parts, and each part is composed OF
plate and rim. The edges of the rims are closely fit
ted together and are secured by three bolts. The
frame and casing thus connected readily admits the
advantage of three bbt metal boxes for the support
of the spindle One in the center OF the base, and
one in the middle Uf either plate Of the casing. This
arrangement renders the parts peculiarly adapted to
stand the pressure Of grinding without yielding In
the least degree and therefore it is that these Mills
are known to grind the same quality of flour and meal
whether fed ut five or twenty-five bushels per hour
The spindle being secured firmly and rgidly to the
running stone, takes its bearings in the three boxes
above named, and sustains the weight of the stone
and the pressure of grinding, by resting upon move
able step inserted in the center Of the base The hop
per- which holds two bushels Of grain, is supported
upon the top of the Mill, by three pillars which
screwed into the upperpl te Of the casing The gran
is fed and regulated by an ordinary shoe and slide
in the hopper. The stones are driven by pulley Of
fifteen inches diameter and eight inches face, WI ich
is placed upon the lower end of the spindle between
in the form of spiral wings, Tor the purpose of driving
strong blast of air through apertures in the casing,
in contact with the stones, to keep them cool
One of these entire Mills, including the hopper,
with stones two feet and ahalf in diameter and each
of them cut from solid block Of burr weighing in
all about 1900 pounds and warranted capable of
grinding in the best manner, twenty bushels per
hour of flour meal, may be packed in cask thir-
ty-four by forty-two inches inside and tn trans
ported i'll safety to any part of the world
Farmers will find'them adapted to be driven by their
horse powers. And although they are large enough
to do the greatest amount of work, they will also
grind two bushels per hour of fair meal with one
horse power, and more in the same proportion. The
demand for Mill which can be driven by horse pow
err and grind grain to advantage without getting out
of order. has not heretofore been supplied mills Of
peck measure dimensions do not seem be big enough
The objection to this Mill if any, Is not that it does
not cork ,ueH but that tcoss too much perhaps but
others must decide about that, as there are enough
cheaper ones. They have given satisfaction in all
cases where they have been tried and are now used
in place of common mill stones in many of the best
establishments throughout the country with decided
advantage, both in the power required and in the
quantity and quality Of the -four and meal. The first
premiums have always been awarded them, over all
competition, at all the Fairs where they have been
exhibited viz: two Gold Medals from the American
Institute in lS49 and 1850 and Silver Medal from
the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanical Association,
in 1850; Diploma in 1881, from the Middlcsex Me-
canics Association and Premium of $40, from the
New York State Fair, September, 1852.
Persons desiring further description will be fur
nished with circular containing all necessary infor
nation on application to W. W. TRION Co.,
agents, at Camden;S c. who will sell the Mills at the
Manufacturers prices.
One Of the Mills be seen in operation at the re-
sideuce of Z. Tryon, in Camden.
