CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
L The best and cheapest now in use.+
THIS Mil differs from all others IN the construction
i Of the upper or runner stone, which is composed
of French Burr Blocks enclosed in cast-iran case,
and forms the back and hoop OF the stone. with cast
iron eye bush. that is OF greater external diameter
the bottom than al the top. Is secured TO the back
by four bolts so that every block is in the form OF
dovetai which gives greater strength TO stone than
any other method that is required In small mills where
the stone is with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if strongly made 1t also gives any weight
of small diameter that IS required without
making ii thick or high.
They can be rtn BY either GIN horse, or steam
power, and require mllwrIght TO set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
1st. Sufficient weight in the runner stone crush
the gris without having to supply pressure to the
from the driving power, most andnlatory
mills nave do this OF great importance when horse
power is used.
ID. When the stone is running Its momentum
like the ly wheel of engine afTording regu-
larity and speed 10 Its motion. If mill does
true and regular you cannot make good meal flour.
Sd. The is composed OF or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks Of sufficient size
be had without having soft imperfect places in
them.
4th The stone having this great weight enabled TO
grind the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in
5sh. iJlis mill is square Frame made of wood. in
the form of huss the "a inch occupying space Of
only 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 millwnght to set them up
7sh. The gearing and pues of these mills are all
of iron and are preferable because there never is
cessity Of crossing the band puIies keep
it in place: the band does get and in
the of single geared mills is there danger in
putting the band off the pulley single gear
mills.
By the steady application of steam power, the "a
inch mill will grind to 10 bushels per hour of good
meal. and will grind wheat well as corn. The SO
inch mill will grind y to Is bushels per hour the Sc
ifch 20 more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prn
cpally in the south and west, and have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction or may be Eefu
ed al our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific 60
cieties to refer to, having asked for them bat
we do refer, with pride. to about twenty-five
hundred persons who have purchased and used oar
mills. There being equal superior TO our mill
We cannot build reputation for BY clustering caI
enges, by comparson as other mill manufacturers
do with
liza mill will not sell without pre- MUM certificates or
windy challenges, for public trials with mills Of admit
ted superiority* for there no danger OF their trying
their mill with inferior onej as others do with ours
or buncomb advertisements, then will never sell,
tor We shall never descend to either method. e.!
When man wants to sell you milf and tells You
that II ineh 1S inch. 30 inch mill will grind II
to 20 bushels per hour look at the hole through the
stones and il halt tia, quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding at ALL
