T universally admitted by Niliers, that in OF
L der TO manufacture asupedorqualityo Of flour
thegrain must be freed lIom all foreign matter,
such as Smut. Rat Burg, Fvz, Dust, ETC., and
thereiore resort is had to Rolling Screens Fans,
aud Smut, or as they are more properly called,
Securing Machines Itis, however, wellknown
to Millers, that no part Of thermachinery has so
utterly failed to perform its duty fora reasonable
length Of times Smut Machines, made Of iron,
Large amounts Of time ana money have been ex-t
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 Tor the obvious reason that iron,
whether wrought or cnst.will not give and retain
the edge that Is as requisite in securing as in
grinding grain, and without which, as the edge
oannotbs renewed, the Machine is useless. The
attempt has been often made to manufacture Mill;
Stories of mon, 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 estab.,
lished that no machine viii scotir grain well with-
out an edge, or rough surface, consequently that
material which furnisheG the greatest amount OF,
and most durable edge isthe proper substance Of
which to construct Smut eor Securing Machines.
French Burr seems to have been designed by ma.
tufe for securing, as well as for grinding grain;
and every Millers knowledge of that material
must satisfy him that, owing toits fine, keen, and
durable edge, and the ease with which that edge
can be renewed, itmusttake the precedence, and
finally the place, Of non MACH mes for securing
grain. tia Fa}

amount Of work; they are SO constructed that
they can be taken down and the edge renewed in
two hours. This theyswill not need more than
once in two Years, If at all. They are got up in
the bess manner, are sent from the-shop ready for
the belt, aud 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 sepaiated from the wheat, by suction fan,
and discharged through the fan, and a spout, out
of the mill, thus saving large amount of labor,
by freeing the mill ofmuch filth usually deposited
in itby Iron Machines. o
These Machines are used IN 600 of the best
mills IN the country-they run light, clean. fast,
and are very duTuble. We annex few references
and certificates from millers who are using them.
