J.H. BURROWS PATENT PLANTATION
CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
O. The best and cheapest now in use.
This Mill differs from all others in the construction
/ i of the upper 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 diameter
at the bottom than the top, secured to the back
by four bots so that every block is in the form Of
doveta which gives greater strength to stone than
any other method that required in small mills where
the is with great speed and becomes dange
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 can be run BY either gin, horse, water steam
power, and require no milwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES: Earn
lst Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grist without having supply pressure the
stone from the driving power most unduiatory
mills have do this is of great importance when horse
power is used
I'd. When the stone is running its momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, afording regu
arity and speed to its motion. If mill does
true and regular you cannot make good meal -four
Sd. The stone is composed of or S French burr
blocks because single blocks of sufficient size
be had without having soft imperfect places in
them.
4h. The stone having this great weight is enabled
grind near the 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 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 millwright to set them up.
7th The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there never is me-
cessty of crossing the band of extra puies keep
it in places the band does not get cut and in
the single geared mills; nor is there danger in
putting the band on off the pulley as in 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 as we'll as corn. The 30
inch mill will grind IL to Is bushels per hour the sc
inch 20 bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prn-
cinaly in the south and west and have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction may be return
ed at expense. "
We have premium certificates from scientific So
ceties to refer to, never having asked for them, but
we do refer, with pride, to about twenty-five
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being no equal superior to mill,
cannot build reputation for by clustering chal
lenges, or by comparison, other mill manufacturers
do with ours.
1fa mill will sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, for public trials with mills of admit
ted superorty* Qor there is danger of their trying
their mill with an inferior one others do with ours
or buncomb advertisements, then ours will never SELL
for we shall never descend to either method.
When man wants to sell you mill and tells you
hat l4inch, IL inch, 90 inch mill will grind IA
% ~ bushels per hour look at the hole through the
stones and see it halt that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
