LulI's Patent French Burr, or STONE

1T is universally admitted by AIilers that in or
Il der TO manufacture asuperiof quality OF flour,
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 Mllers, that no part of their machinery has so
utterl, failed to perform its duty for reasonable
length of time, as Smut Machines, made of iron.
Large amounts Of time and money have been ey-
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 triaE 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 or cast viii not give and retain
the edge that is as requisite iniscourlpg as in
grinding grain, and without which, as the edge
cannotbe 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 stonen 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, s the proper substance oil
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 Miller's knowledge ol that maternal
must satisfy him that, owing to its ine, 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. tf 4,
These Machines have more edge, or rough sur
face, than any iTou machines, consequently re-
quire less motion, and less power TO do the same
| IF ed that
they can be taken down and the edgefenewedi 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 q 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 oflabor!
by freeing the mill OF much filth usually deposited
in it BY Iron Machines. 5a ~
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 references
and certificates from millerS who are using them

w. w. WALLACE, Eso.-Dear Sir,-We have
nov in use in our mill two of your Burr Smu
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 il
use. u WlLMARTH & NOBLE.

Mr.. Wm w. Wallace--Dear Sir,-I have beeI
using your French Burr Smut Machine for the las
three years, and find it first rate machine 70
cleaning wheat.
