LuIl's Patent French Burr, or Stone
SINH II MACHINES.

ut is universally admitted by Mllers, thatiu or
I der to manufacture asuperior quality OF flour,
the grain must he 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 Millers that no part Of ther machinery has so
utterl, failed to perform its duty fora reasonable
length of time, as Smut Machines, made of fron
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 fault in their construction, as is generally
supposed but ior 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
Stone, of iron, but has always been Abandoned,
fir the reason that when the iron stoneB became
smooth, the edge could not be renewed, and they
were Thereby rendered useless II is well estab-
lshed that no machine will scour grain we'll with
out an edge, or rough surface, consequehtlythat
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 Gems TO have been designed by ma
tnre for securing, as well as for grinding grain;
and every Milers knowledge ol that material
must satisfy him that, owing to its fine, keen and
durable edge, and the ease with which that edge
can be renewed, it tmustfake tie precedence, aud
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; ibcy are 50 constructed that
| they can be taken down and the edge renewed III
two hours. This they will mob need more than
once in Two years, if at all. They are got up in
the bes: manner, are sent from the shopready for
the belt, and may be put up in ltalfa day, in any
part Of mill, without being enclosed--no dust
escapes from them, it being drawn up, as scon as
il 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 depos ted
| in 1t by Iron Machines,
These Machines are used IN COO of the hes
mills in the conntry-lhey run light. clean fast
and are very duruble. We annex few reference.
and certificates from millers who are using them

w. w. WALLACE, Eso.-Dear Sir-We hayt
nov in use in our mill two of your Burr Snu
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. WILMARTH & NOBLE.
