LuIl's Patent French Burr, or Stone
SNIV n MACHINES.

ETisunyersally admitted by Millers that in or
4 der to manufacture asuperor quality OF flour,
the grain must be freed from all foreign matter,
such rs Smut, Rat Dung, Fuz, Dust, ETC., and
therefore resorts had to Rolling Screens, Fans,
and Smut, or as they are more properly called,
Securing Machines. tits, however, well known !
to Milers, that no part of their machinery has SO
ptterl, 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 after short trial, seldom exceeding two years
they have failed to answer the purpose, not LOT
any fault in their construction, as is generally
supposed but for the obvious reason that lron,
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 when the iron stones became
smooth, the edge could not be renewed, and they
were thereby rendered useless 1t is well estao-
lished that no machine willsco grain we'll with
out an edge, or rough surface, consequently that
material which furnishes the greatest amount oil,
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 we'll as for grinding grain;
and every Mnller's knowledge of that material
must satisfy him that owing to its fine, keen, and
i durable edge, and the case with which that edge
can be renewed, It must takethe 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
! amountfof work; theya are so constructed that
they can be taken down and the edgerenewedin in
) two hours. This they will not need more than
once In two,years, II at all. They are got up in
lthe bes pannet, ate sent from the shop ready fol
1.-THE belt, and may be put up in halfa day, in an,
. lpart Of anil, without being enclosed--no dus
escapes from them, 1t being drawn up, as soon al
: lit is separated from the wheat, by suction fan
and discharged through the fan, and a spout, ou
: of the mill, thus saving large amount OF labor
by freeing the mill Of much filth usually deposite
init by Iron Machines. ,r,.,......,... s.,i
These Machines are used IN GOO Of the beS
mills IN the country--they run light, clean. fast
and are very duruble. We annex few reference
and certificates from millers who are using them
