T isuniyenally admitted by Millers; that in or
der to manufacture lsuperiorqnality OF -four,
the grain must be fleed 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 theirmachinery has so
utterly 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, aud moulded into all shapes and forms,
and after short trial, seldom exceeding two years
they have failed to answer the purpose, not Tor
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 Machines is useless. The
attempt has been often made to manufacture Mill
Stones Of IRON, bnt has always been abandoned,
fur the reason that when the iron stones became
smooth, the edge could not be renewed, and they
were thereby rendered useless. II 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 Miller's knowledge OF 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-
qure 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 best manner are sent from the shop ready for
the belt, and may be put up in halfa day, in any
part Of mill, without being enclosed-no dust
escapes from them, It being drawn up, as soon as
it is separated from 7 he wheat, by suction fan,
and discharged through the fan, and spout, out
of the mill, thus saving large amount of labor,
by freeing the mill of much filth usually deposited
in it by Iron Machines.
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 references
and certificates from millers who are using them

W. W. WALLACE, o.---Dear Sir,-We hav,
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. WlLMARTH & NOBLE.

Mr.. VIM. w. Wallace-Dear Sir,-I have bee
using your French Burr Smut Machine for the las
three years, and find it first rate machine fc
cleaning wheat.
e Respectfully yours, H H NEAL.
