Uneuualed Flour and Grain Mills.

JNHIS Grist Mill has never been equaed, either in
i its simplicity, portability, compactness, or beau
ty of design. The frame work and casing Of cast
iron as also arc the hoppers. casting consisting Of
it, constitutes the frame work which supports the
casing The casing is the cylindrical portion main
body Of the Mill, resting upon, and secured to the
columns, and serves the purpose of lnclosing and
holding the stones in their places. The casing is made
in two equal parts, and each part is composed of q
plate and rim. The edges of the rims closely fit
ted together and are secured by three bolts The
frame and casing thus connected readily admits the
advantage of three babt metal boxes for the support
of the spindle: One i'll the center of the base and
one in the middle Of either plate o. the easing. This
arrangement renders the urts peculiarly adapted 10
stand the pressure Of grinding without yielding in
the least degree and therefore it is that these Mills
are known to grind the s"me quality OF flour and meal
whether fed at five or twenty-five bushels per hour.
The spindle being secured firmly and ri.idly 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 i'll 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 are
screwed into the uppcrpl te of the casing The grant
is fed and regulated by ordI ary shoe and slide
in the hopper. The stones driven by pulley of
fifteen inches diameter and eight inches face W! ich
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 apertares 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 alalf in diameter and each
of them cut from solid block of burr, weighing in
all about 800 pounds, and warranted capable OF
grinding in the best manner, twenty-five bushels per
hour of -four or meal may be packed in n cask thir
ty-four by forty-two inches inside and tn trans
ported in safety to any part of the world.
Farmers will find them adapted TO be driven by their
horse powers. And although they are large enougl
to do the greatest amount of work, they will asC
grind two bushels per hour of fair meal with n one
horse power, and more i'll 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 o
peck measure dimensions do not TO be big enough
The objection to this Mill if any, not that it doe:
not uork ,e but that it costs too much perhaps; but
others must decide about that rs there are enougl
cheaper ones. They have given satisfaction in al
cases where they have been tried, and now USED
i'm place of common mill stones, in many of the ncs
establishments throughout the country, with decided
advantage, both in the power required and III tn,
quantity and quality of the flour and neal. The first
premiums have always been awarded them;Ss over al
competition at all the Fairs where they have beel
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 1851 from the Middlesex Me
chanics' Associnton, and Premium of $40, from thu
New York State Fair; September, 1852.
