CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
~ The best and cheapest now in use.
THIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
i Of the upper or runner stone, which is composed
of French Burr Blocks enclosed in cast-iron case,
and forms the back and hoop of the stone with cast
iron eye bush that is of greater external diamete
the bottom than at the top, is secured to the back
BY four bolts so that every block is in the form of
dovetail, which gives greaer strength to than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the is with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if not strongly made. 1t also gives any weight
to stone of small diameter that is required, without
making it thick or high
They be run by either gin, horse, water steam
power, and require millwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
1st. Sufficient weight in the runner stone crush
the grst without having to supply pressure the
ner stone from the driving power, most undulatory
mills have to do this is of atimportance when horse
power is used.
I'd. When the stone is running its momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, affording regu
larity and speed to its motion. If mill does
true and regular you make good meal or -four.
Sd. The stone is composed of or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places in
Them
4th The stone having this great weight is enabled
grind the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in use.
9Th. This mill is square frame, made of wood, in
the form of husk: the "a inch occupying space of
only 4 or feet square.
9th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable get of order than any other MILL
and does not require millwright to set them up.
7th The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
of iron and are preferable because there never is ne
cessity of crossing the band of extra pues keep
it in place; the band does not get cut and worn in
the of single geared mills; nor is there danger in
putting the band off the pulley in single gear
mills.
inch mill will grind TO 10 bushels per hour Of good
meal, and will grind wheat as well as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind u Ito Is bushels per hour; the So
inch 20 more bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prin-
cpay in the south and west and have any been
returned from failing please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction or may be return
ed at expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
ciees refer to, never having asked for them but
we do refer, with pride, to about twenty live
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being equal superior to mill,
We cannot build reputation for it by clustering cha-
lenges, by comparison other mill manufacturers
do with
If mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit
ted superoriy* or there is danger of their trying
their mill with inferior one others do with ours
or buncomb advertisements then will SELL
for shall never descend to either method.
When man wants to sell you mill and tells You
that 4inch, Is inch, 90 inch mill will grind IA
to 90 bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
stones and if halt that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
