Uncoualed Flour and Grain Mills.

TENIllS GIst Mill has never been equacd, either in
l. lis simplicity portability, compactGess, or beau
~ of design. The frame work and clsng are OF cast
Ion, as also the hoppers. casting consisting OF
tripe.sharcd 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 lEcuSng and
holding The stones in their places The casing is made
in two equal parts, und each put is COMPOSED OF u
plate and rim The edges Of the rims are closely tit
ted together and are secured 10y three bolts. The
frame and casing thus connected readily admits the
advantage of three bibit metal boxes for the support
of the spindle. One in the center OF the hase, aud
one in the middle "f 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
are known to grind the same quality of flour and mea
whether fed five twenty five bushels per hour.
The spindle being secured firmly and rigdy to the
running stone, lakes 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 center Of the b:e. 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 gram
is fed ana regulated by ordiI AIRY slicc and slide
in the hopper. The stones are driven 10y pulley Of
fifteen inches diameter, and eight inches face, ch
is placed upon the lower end Of the spindle between
the columns The arms Of the pulley constructed
in the form Of spiral wings or the purpose of driving
strom, blast of air through ;crturcs 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.lf in diameter and each
of them cut from a solid block of burr vcglin. in
all about 800 pounds, and warranted capabie Of
grinding in the best nrinncr twenty-five bushels per
hour of flour meal, may be packed in cask tr-
tyfuur by fnrty-two inches insd', and tn s trans
ported in safety to1lny part of the world. =
Farmers will find them adapted to be driven by their
horse powers. And although tI.ey are large enough
to do the greatest amount Of work, they will also
grind two bushels FER hour Of fair meal with one
hursc power and more in the same proportion. The
demand for Mill which CAN bcdriycn by horse pow
er, and grind grain To advant go, without getting out
Of order. has not heretofore been supplied mills of
peek measure dimensions do not seem 10 be big enough
The objection 10 this Mill. il any, not that it docs
not ,rofk ,ce but that it costs much. perhaps; hut
others must decide about that, as there are enough
cheaper ones. They have given satisfaction in all
eases where they have been tried, and are now used
in place of mill stones in many of the ne>t
Establishments thruu. hout 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 lhem over all
competition, at all the Fairs where they have been
exhibited viz: two Gold Medals from the American
Institute in 1919 and 1880 md Silver Medal from
the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanical Association
in 1850; Diploma in 1851, from the Middlrscy Me-
canicS' A>SOrI iion and Premium of 80, from the
New York Stale Fair September, 1852.
