UneauaIed Flour and Grain Mills,

TENIlIS Grst Mill has never been equalcd either in
l. its simplicity, portability, compactncss, or beau
ty of design The frame work and casing of cast
ion, as also are the hoppcrs casting consisting Of
trpe.slupcd base 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 inclosing and
holding the stones i'll their places. The easing is made
in two equal parts and each part is composed of q
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 babit metal boxes for the support
of the spindle. One the center of the base and
one in the middle OF either plate Of the casing. This
arrangement renders the parts peculiarly adapted to
stand the pressure OF grinding wi lhou 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 five or twenty five bushels per hour.
The spindle being secured firmly and Igidly to the
running stone, takes lis bearings in the three boxes
above named, and sustans the weight of the stone
and the pressure of grinding, by resting upon move
able step inserted in the of the base. The hop.
per- which holds two bushels of grain, is supported
upon the top of the Mill by three pillars which are
screwed into the upper p tc Of the casing The grani
is fed and regulated By an ordir airy shoe and slide
in the hopper. The stones driven by pul!ey al
fifteen inches diameter, and eight inches face ic,
is placed upon the lower end Of the spindle between
the columns. The arms Of the pulley are constructed
in the form of spiral wings or the purpose of driving
strong blast OF air through arerturcs in the casing,
in contact with the stones, TO keep them cool
One of these entire Mills, intending the hopper,
with stones two feet and a.half in diameter and each
of them cut from solid block Of burr, weighing in
all about 300 pounds, and warranted capable OF
grinding, in the best manner, twenty-five bushels per
hour Of flour meal, may Gc packed in cask thir-
ty-four by forty-two inches iusid., and this trans
ported in safety to any part of the world.
Farmers will find them adapted to be driven by their
horse powers Aud although they are large enough
TO do the greatest amount Of work. they will also
grind two bushels rcr hour of fair meal with one
horse power, and more in the 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
peck measure dimensions donot seem 10 be big enough
The objection to this Mill if any, not that it does
not rork ~e but that it costs too mucl perhaps but
others must decide ahou; that, rs 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 nest
establishments throughout the country, with decided
advantage, both III the power required and in the
quantity and quality of the flour an! neal The first
premiums have always been awarded them, over all
competition Mt all the Fairs where they have been
exhibited, viz: two Gold Medals from the American
Instiiutr in lSI9 and 1850, rnl Silver Medal from
the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanical Association,
in 1850; Diploma i'll 1851 from the MiahlcseX Me.
clmnics' 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. TRluN d Co.,
agents at Camden, = c., who will sell the Mills at the
7 fManulacturcts prices.
One of the Mills can DC seen in operation at the re-.
