H. BURROWS PATENT PLANTATION
CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.

u The best and cheapest now in USE
'HlS Mill differs from all others in the construction
= OF the upper or runner stone, which is compose,
OF French Burr Blocks, enclosed in a cast-iron case
ana forms the back and hoop of the stone, with cas-
IRON eye or bush, that is of greater external diamete
at the bottom than the top, is secured to the ba ci
by tour bolts that every block is in the form of
dovetali, which gives greater strength to stone thar
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone is run with great speed and becomes DANCE
roas II not strongly made. 1t also gives any weigh
to stone OF small diameter that is required without
making it thick or high.
They can be by either gin, horse water or steam
power, and require no millwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
lst. Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the gst, without having supply pressure to the run
ner stone from the driving power, most unduatory
mills have to do; this is of great Importance when horse
power is used.
3D. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel Of engine afordine regu-
larlty and speed TO its notion If a mill does not run
true and regular you cannot make good meal or flour.
Sd. The stone is composed of or French burr
blocks because single blocks of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places in
them.
4h The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind near the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in use
5th. This mill is square frame, made of wood, in
the form of husk: the "a inch occupyine snace of
only or feetsquare
9th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable get of order than any other MILL
and does not require milwrg ht to set them up.
9TH. The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there never is ne
cessty of crossing the band of extra puies 10 keep
tn place; the band does not get cut and worn as in
the of Jingle geared mills nor is there danger in
putting the band off the pulley in single gear
mills.
BY the steady application of steam power the "a
inch mill will grind 10 bushels per hour of good
meal, and will grind wheat as well as corn The 80
inch mill will grind ID Is bushels per hour; the So
inch 20 or more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used prin-
cpally in the south and west and never have any been
returned from failing TO please. The above mill is |
warranted to give entire satisfaction or may be return
ed at our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So |
ceties to refer to. having asked for Them but
We do refer, with some PRIDE to about twenty five
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being equal or superior to our MILL
we cannot build reputation for it by clustering chal-
enges, or by comparison, other mill
do with ours.
If mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit
ted superory* ftor there is danger of their irving
heir mill with an inferior one,l others do with ours
,r buncomb then will never SELL
or We shall never descend to either method.
W then man wants to sell you mill and tells YOU
hat IA inch, IL inch, or 30 inch mill will grind IA
o 20 bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
tones and see ii halt that quantity of would pass
trough without grinding at all.
