Uneuualed Flour and Grain Mills

INIIlS Grist Mill has never been equaled. either in
i its simplicity, portability, eompactness or beau
ty of design The frame work and casing are OF cast
iron as also are the hoppers. casting consisting of
tripe.shaped base with three columns resting uopn
it, constitutes the framework which supports the
casing The casing isthe cylindrical portion, or main
body of the Mill, resting upon, and secured to the
columns, and serves the purpose of lncloslng and
holding the stones in their places. The casing Is made
in two equal parts, aud each part is composed OF n
plate and rim The edges of the rims closely fit
| ted together and are secured by three bolts. Tie
frame and casing thus connected readily admits the
advantage of three b,tit 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 same quality of flour and meal
whether fed at five twenty-five bushels per hour
The spindle being secured firmly aud rigidly to the
running stone takes ts bearings in the three boxes
above named and susains 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 upper pl e Of the casing The gram
is fed and regulated by anordrary shoe and a slide
in the hopper The stones driven by pulley of
fifteen inches diameter, aud eight inches face, W! ich
is plaesd 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
a strong blast of air through apertures in the casing,
in contact with the stones, to keep them coel -
One of these entire Mills, including he-hopper,
with stones two feetaud ahalf in diaeter and each
of them cut from a 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 flour meal may be packed IN q eask thr-
ty.four by forty-two inches inside, and th trans
ported in safety TO any part Of the world. -
Farmers will fhd them adapted to be driven by their,
horse powers. Aud although they are large enough
to do the greatest amount OF work. thcy-wlll also
grind two bushels per houreof fair meal with one
horse power, and more in the same proportion. The
demand fora Mill which can be driven by horse pow
er, and grind grain to advantage without getting out
of order. has MT heretofore been supplied; mills of
neck measure dimensions do not be bigenough
The objection to This Mill, if any, not that it docs
not uork e but that it costs too much perhaps; but
others must decide about that as there are enough
cheaper ones They have given satisfaction in all
cases where hev 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 $780, and Silver Medal from
the MASSACHUSETTS, Charitable Mechanical Association,
in 1850; Diploma in 1851, from the Middlcsex Me-
chanics Association and Premium Of 20, from the
New York State Fair. September, 1852.
