LulI's Patent French Burr, or stone
SnIl n nlAElnINES

T is universally admitted by Millers, that in or
= der to manufacture asuperiot 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. II is, however well known
to Mlllers 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 betn 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 lault in their construction, rs is generally
supposed, but or the obvious n ason 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 non, but has always been abandoned,
for the reason that when the iron stoneu became
smooth, the edge could not be renewed, and they
were thereby rendered useless. 1t is well estab.
llShed that no machine willscour 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 Machine.
French Burr seems to have been designed by ma
ture for securing, as well as for grinding grain
and every Miller's knowledge OF that material
must satisfy him that, lowing 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 non machines for securing
grain.
These Machines have more edge, or rough sur
face, than any iron machines, consequently re-
qulre 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 a mill without being encloSed-no dust
escapes from them, it being drawn up, as soon as
it is sepala,ed from he wheat BY suction fan,
and discharged through the fan. and spout oul
OF the mill, thus saving large amount of labor,
by freeing the mill of muchfilth usually deposited
in 1t b! Iron Machines.
These Machines are used IN coo of the best
mills IN the cOuniry-they run light clean fast
and are very duruble. We annex few references
and certificates from millers who are using them.

w. w. WALLACE, Eso.-Dear Sir,-We have
AZ ~ u'c III oui ihli tWo Vi your Durr omut
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 g. NOBLE.

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