at SNIl Il MACHINES.
Il is universally admitted by Millers, that in or
der to manufacture superior quality of -four,
the grain must be freed from all foreign matter,
such as Smut Rat Dung, Fuz, Dust, etc., and
therefore resort is had to Rolling Screens Fans,
and Smut, or as they are more properly called,
Securing Machines. 1t is, however, we'll known
to Milers, that no part of their machinery has SO
utterly failed to perform its duty for reasonable
length Of time, as Smut Machines, made Of iron.
Large amounts of time and money have been ex-
pended on them: invention after invention re-
sorted to, until iron has been cut, bent, twisted,
turned and moulded into all shapes and forms,
and after short trial, seldom exceeding two years
| they have failed to answer the purpose, not for
any fault in their construction, as is generally
supposed, but ior the obvious reason that iron,
whether wrought OF cast will not give and retain
the edge that is as requisite in securing as in
| grinding grain, and without which, as the edge
cannot be renewed, the Machineis useless. The
attempt has been often made to manufacture Mill
Stones of iron, but has always been abandoned,
for the reason that when the iron stones became
smooth, the edge could not be,renewed, and they
were thereby rendered useless. 1t is well estab-
lshed that no machine will scour grain we'll with
out an edge, or rough surface, consequently that
material which furnishes the greatest amount of
and most durable edge, is the proper substance Of
which to construct Smut OF Securing Machines.
French Burr seems to have been designed by ma
ture for securing, as well as for grinding grain;
and every Millers knowledge oil that material
must satisfy him that, owing to its fine, keen, and
durable edge, and the ease with which that edge
can be renewed, itmust take the precedence, and
finally the place, of iron machines for securing
grain. t3sfa tah
These Machines have more edge, or rough sur
face, than any iron machines, consequently re-
quire less motion, and less power to do the same
amount of work; they are so constructed that
they can be taken down and the edge renewed in
two hours. This they will not need more thar
once in two years. if at ALL They are got up in
the bes. manner, are sent from the shop ready fo
the belt, and may be put up in half day, in an!
part of mill, without being enclosed-no dus
escapes from them, it being drawn up, as soon al
I it is separated from the wheat by suction fan
and discharged through the fan, and spout, ou
: of the mill, thus saving large amount oflabor
by freeing the mill of much filth usually deposite
in il by Iron Machines N
These Machines are used IN 600 of the bes
mills IN the country-they run light, clean. fast
and are very duruble. We annex few reference
and certificates from millers who are using them
