LuIl's Patent French Burr, or stone
&NIl IL M A CHIN ESl

=
Tis universally admitted by Millers, thatin or
der to manufacture asuperior quality OF -four
the grain Inustbe freed from all foreign matter
such as Smut, Rat Dung, FuZ, Dust, ETC., and
therefore resort is had 10 Rolling Screens, Fans,
and Smut, or as they are more properly called,
Securing Machines. 1t is, however, well known
to Millets, that part of heirmachiuery has so
utterly failed to perlormits dutygiora reasonable
length of time, asSmut Machines, made Of iron.
Large amounts oftime and money have bet mex
pended on them; invention after invention re-
sorted TO, until iron has been cut, bent, twisted,
turned, and moulded into all ;hapes 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 lor the obvious r, ason that iron,
whether wrought or east. 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 tomanufacture Mill
Stones OF IRON, but has always been abandoned,
for the reason that when the iron stoneD 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, 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 Milers 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.
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 tina
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 il
the bes. manner, are sent from the shop ready 70
the belt, and maybe put up in halfa day, in an,
part of mill without being encloSed-no dus
escapes from them, it being drawn up, as soon a
it is separated from he wheat by suction fan
and discharged through the fan, and spout, on
of the mill, thus saving large amount Of labor
by freeing the mill Of much filth usually deposite
in it BY Iron Machines.
These Machines are used IN 600 of the hes
mills IN the country-they run light, clean fast
and are very durube. We annex few reference
and certificates from millerS who are using them
