ouaintancv Of such new ones as have anx-
iously been awaiting an opportunity to
subscribe for our paper, to learn more
thoroughly the geography Of our county,
70 sec how the farmers are prosperihg'
aul what sort Of country our county
possesses. we had occasion To visit the
premises Of the Messrs. Ozanne, and TO
look over their Wind Mil as thoroughly
as ten minutes would allow.
To the farmers Of the town of Somers
and to many Of somewhat remote parts
of the County, by this time, doubtless, a
Wind Mil is no novelty. We presume
e is a thing familiar to most Of our rea-
dcrs. in this vicinity.
But nevertheless a regular oll-fashion-
ed Windmill for grinding grain. Is We
~ uncommon thing in most parts OF Anne
RIGA. al this Day. and we know that no
tice Of it will be somewhat interesting to
large class Of our readers.
Before steam was known as motive
power or the horsepower was n'entei
in countries where water-courScs are
scarce. wind was long ago employed to
propeI the stones which grount tie peo-
PIES grain And to every reader OF MS
tory. the old windmill situated on some
hill or prominent piece of GROUND, Is Id
m:liar land mark. But an actual acqhalh-
tancc with such machine, Is what very
few Americans have. it is the first time
we eyca saw one, and we propose to de
scribe it. for the benefit of many Oh our
readers. who, we arc sure know nothing
of such a machine.
Its form is almost precisely that OF a
lighthouse. The first story Is forty leet
Gn diameter, Of sixteen equal sides. This
Is where grain is received, the store room,
and where tools &c, arc kcit The smut
machine is in this room and great hop
per INTO which the grain is thrown, and
from which elevators receive it and carry
IT above.
Tie second story is an eight sided, and
some twenty to twenty-five feet in diam
ctgr. In this room the -four and ground
grain is delivered. A level pl4tform eX-
tends all around the banding. from the
outside of this ro0m to the outside Of the
room below. There are two doors, III
opposite sides aud wagons drive up, on
one side or the other and receive their
load5 from this platform.
The third story contains the bolt and
stones. Tie -four falls through into the
second story, an is taken by eIevat RS
into the fourth story. and thence prujec-
ted down into the bolt, in the third story.
The stones are French Burr, Of the or.
binary size, with a wooden hopper and
ho,p of tie fashion Of fifteen and TWEEN
years ago.
The b,it y, Us is entirely new thing
We suppose il is all oid invention but
we never saw or heard Of one like it Lee
fore. II is cylinder, about four feet
long and eighteen inches in diameter
covered with fine uiTe-Cioh. On The
Inside of it are four fine, suta >titI, bong
hajr brushes Of the entire length Of til,

Snilt. The bolt is stationary, on an anel,
of some twenty-five degrees. The flour
is put into the upper end, and is force
through the wire-ci,th by the ccntrifu-
gal force If the brushes The bolt is reg
ulatrl by the difference in the texture oi
the cloth, the same as an ordinary silk
cloth bolt AMI by setting the brushes

The bolt is set close to the noor and
the flour IS discharged through into thu
story bclov. 1t is not thrown into BIN
as ordinarily. but an open sack tnnne
sSqno3 is hanc to the several apartments
If the bolt, and the bags of the customers
is tied on to the lower mouth OF thes'
sacks. AMI the flour, nd'lings, bran, &c
is discharged from the bolt directly int
the bags Of customers.
The fourth story, some fifteen feet Il
diameter, contains the driving wheels All,
