one in the middle Of 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 Ms

Farmers will find them adapted to be driven by their
horse powers And although they are large enough
to do he greatest amount Of work, they will also
grind two bushels rer 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
er, and grind grain to advantage without getting out
of order. has not heretofore been supplied mills OF
neck measure dimensions do not seem to be big enough
The objection to this MILL if any, not that it does
not ,ok ,ce but that it costs too much perhaps; but
others must decide about that, as there are enough
cheaper ones. They have given satisfaction IN oil
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 ln- the
quantity and quality Of the flour and meal The frst
| premiums have always been awarded them, over Oh
eompethop, at all the Fairs where they have been
exhibited, viz: two Gold Medals from the American
Institute, in lS49 and 1880 and Silver Medal from
the Massachusetts Charitable Mechan'cal Association,
in 1850; Diploma in 1851, from the Middlesex Me-
ehnncs' Associston and Premium of $40, from tho
New York State Fair. September 1852.
