Lulps Patent French Burr. or stone
SnII II TNIACHINES.

T is universally admitted BY Millers thatin or
Z der to manufacture asupeTiorquality 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, well known
to Millers, that no part of their machinery has so
utterly failed to perform its duty fora 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 alter short trial, seldom exceeding two years
they have Jailed 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 Machine is useless, The
attempt has been often made to manufacture Mill
Stones Of iron, but has always been abandoned,
for the reason that whenthe 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 an edge, or rough surface, consequently that
material which furnishes the greatest amount Of,
and most durable edge, Isl sthe 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 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 edgeSor 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, ifat all. They are got up in
the bes. manner, are sent from the shop ready for
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 spout, out
of the mill, thus saving large amount eflabor,
by freeing the mill lofmuch filth usually deposited
in it by Iron Machines.
These Machines are used IN 600 of the best
mills IN the countryAthey run light, clean, fast,
| and are very duruble. We annex a few references
and certificates from millers who are using them.
CERTIFICATES.
PlTTsnURGH, June 26, 1852. !
W. w. WALLACE, Esa.-Dear Sir,--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 conSdert them the best machines now in
use, ..,s WILMARTH & NOBLE.

using your French Burr Smut Machine for the last
three years, and find it first rate machine fol
cleaning wheat. ~, ftap
