, J. H. BURROWS PATENT PLANTATION
CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
u The best and cheapest now in use.
NHlS Mill differs from all others in the construction
L OF the upper runner stone, which is composed
OF French Burr Blocks enclosed in a cast-rnn case
and forms the back and hoop of the stone, with
IRON eye or bush, that is of greater external diameter
at the bottom than at the top, is secured the back
BY tour bolts that every block is in the form of
doveaIi, which gives greater strength than
any other method that required in small mills where
the stone Is run with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if strongly made. 1t also gives any weight
to a stone of small diameter that is reaufred without
making il thick or high.
They can be run by either GIN horse water or steam
power, and require no mlwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
1st Sufficient weight in the rnnner stone to crush
the gris without having supply pressure to the run
stone from the driving power, undulatory
mills have to 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-
larity and speed TO its motion. If mill does
true and regular You cannot make good meal or -four
I'd. The stone is composed of 4 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 is enabled to
grind near the centre larger quantity with less pow
than any other mill now in use.
9Th. This mill is square frame, made of wood, in
the form of husk: the 2i inch occupying space of
only or feet square.
9Th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable to get out OF order than any other MILL
and does not req ire a mwrght to set them up.
9TH. The gearing and pullies of these mills all
of iron and preferable because there never s ne
cessty of crossing the band of extra pules keep
it in place; the band does no, get cut and worn in
the of single geared mills nor is there danger in
putting the band 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 well as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind II Is bushels per hour; the So
inch 90 bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prin
cipaly in the south and west and never have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted give entire satisfac ,or may be
ed at expense. /!
We have premium certificates from scientific so
cietes refer to, 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 equal superior to mill,
cannot build reputation for it by clustering cha
ienges, or by comparisons other mill manufacturers
do with
If mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, tor public trials with mills of admit
ted superiority* flor there is danger of their trying
their mill with inferior one,1 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
that IA inch, l8 inch, 90 inch mill will grind IA
20 bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
and If halt that quantity of would pass
through without grinding all
