Uneuualed Flour and Grain Mills.

THIS Grst Mill has never been equalcd, either in
Il its simplicity, portability, compactness, or beau.
ty of design. The frame work and casing are Of cast
ion also the horpers. casting consisting Of
trpe-shaped 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 made
in two equal parts, and each part is composed Of
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 babit metal boxes for the support
of the spindle. One in 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 without yielding in
the least degree and therefore it Is that these Mills
known to grind the same quality OF flour and meal
whether fed at five twenty-five bushels per hour.
The spindle being secured firmly and rigidly to the
running sone takes its bearings in the three boxes
above named and susains the weight of the stone
and the pressure of grinding, by resting upon
able step inserted in the center Of the basc 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 upperpl te of the casing. The gran
is fed and regulated 10y ordr ary shoe and slide
in as SPsS euyv
is placed upon the lower end of the spindle between
in the form of spiral wings the purpose of driving
strong blast OF ar 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 ahalf 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 flour or meal, may be packed in cask thir
tyfour by forty-two inches inside, and tn 8 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 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. The
demand for a 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
peek measure dimensions do not to be big enough
The objection to this Mill if any, not that it does
not vork ,ceN but that costs too much Perhaps but
others must decide about thnt, as there enough
cheaper ones. They have given satisfaction in ul
cases where they have been tried, and are 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 Silver Medal from
the Massachusetts, Charitable Mechanical Association
in 1850; Diploma in 1851, from the Middlesex Me-
chanics' Association, and Premium of Slo from the
New York State Fair. September, 1852
Persons desiring further description, will be fur
nshed with circular containing all necessary infor
nation on application to W. W. TRION & Co.,
agents at Camden, = c., who will sell the Mills at the
Manufacturers prices
One of the Mills be seen in operation at the
sidcnce of F. Tryon in Camden.
