T is universally admitted by Millers, that in or
1 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, Il is, however well known
to Millers that no part of their machinery has so
utterly failed to perform its duty for reasonable
length of time, as Smut Machines, Diade Of iron.
Large amounts Of time and money have been ex-
pended on them: invention after invention re-
sorted to, until iron has been out, 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 Tor the obvious reason that iron,
whether wrought or 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-
lished that no machine will scour grain well with
out on 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.
ture for securing, as well as for grinding grain;
and every Mller's knowledge Of 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.
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 than
once in two years, If at all, They are got up in
the bes. manner, are sent from the shop ready fol
the belt, and may be put up in halfa day in any
part OF mill, without being enclosed-no dust
escapes from them, it being drawn up, as soon as
it is separated from the wheat, by suction fan,
and discharged through the fan, and a spout, out
OF the mill, thus saving large amount of labor,
by freeing the mill of much filth usually deposited
in it by Iron Machines.
| These Machines are used in 600 of the best
mills IN the country-they run light, clean, fast,
and are very durubie. We annex few references
and certificates from millers who are using them.
CERTIFICATES.
| PITTsBURGH, June 26, 1852.
| w. w. WALLACE, Eso.--Dear Sr,-We have
now in use in our mill two Of your Burr Smut
Machines: they work to our entire satisfaction.
They are durable: not liable to get out Of order;
and we consider them the best machines now in
| use. WILMARTH & NOBLE.

Mr.. VIM. W. Wallace-Dear Sir,-I have been
using your French Burr Smut Machine for the last
three years, and find it a first rate machine fol
cleaning wheat.
Respectfully yours, HH NEAL.
