Flour and Grain Mills.

HNHlS Grst Mill las never been equnled either in
i its simplicity portability, compactness, or beau
Tty of design The framework and casing are OF cast
iron, also are the hoppers casting consisting Of
trpe.shupcd 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 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 babit metal boxes for the support
Of the spindle. One,in the center of the base, and
one in the middle of eitherplae 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 quality of flour and meal
whether fed at five twenty-five bushels.per hour.
The spindle being secured firmly and rigdly to the
running stone, takes its bearings in the three boxes
above named, and sustans the weight Of the stone
and the pressure of grinding, by resting upon amove.

upon the top of the Mill, by three pillars which are
is fed and regulated by ordiEary shoe and slide
in the hopper. The stones are driven by pulley of
fifteen inches diameter, and eight inches face, W. ch
is placed upon the lower end of the spindle between
the columns. The of the pulley constructed
lin the form of spiral wings for 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 a.haf in diameter and each
of them cut from solid block Of burr, weighing in
all about 1890 pounds, and warranted capable of
grinding in the best manner, twenty-five bushels per
hour of flour or meal may be packed in cask thir-
tyfonr by forty-two inches inside, and this trans
ported in safety to any part Of. the world.
r. Farmers will fud 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. Fhe
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 do not to be big enough
The objection to this Mill if any, Is not that it does
not tcorE e but that it costs too much perhaps; but
others must decide about that, there enough
cheaper ones. They lave 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 flour 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 aSilver Medal from
the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanical Association

New York State Fair. September, 1852. Pa.
