CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.

fNHIS 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
iron eye or bush that is of greater external diameter
the bottom than the top Is secured the back
by four bolts. that every block is in the form of
dovetai which gives greater strength stone than
any other method that required in small mills where
the is with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if not strongly made. II also gives any weigh,
stone of small diameter that is required, without
making it thick or high.
They be by either gin, horse water steam
power, and require milIwrght TO set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
lst Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grst without having supply pressure the
ner stone from the driving power, most undulatory
mills have do; this is of great importance when horse
power is used.
3D. When the stone Is running its momentum
like the ly wheel of engine, afording regu-
arity and speed to Its motion. If mill does run
true and regular you make good meal or -four.
Sd. The stone is composed of or French burr
blocks, because single blocks OF sufficient cannot
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
them.
4th The having this great weight is enabled to
grind near 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 or 5 feet square. 4'
9th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable get of order than any other MILL
and does not require milIwright to SET them up
eth. The gearing and pues of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there never is
cessity of crossing the band of pullies keep
ii in place; the band does get and in
the single 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 viii grind wheat well as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind II to Is bushels per hour the sc
inch 20 more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used prn-
cipay in he south and west, and have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted give entire satisfaction or may be return
ed at our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
cieties 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 oEr mill.
we canno, build reputation for it by clustering chal
lenges by comparison as other mill manufacturers
do with ours.
Ha mill will sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit.
ted supesofy* or there no danger OF their trying
their mill with inferior onel as others do with ours
or bnneomo 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 Is inch, or 20 inch mill will grind Il
to 30 bushels per hour look at the hole through the
stones and see if halt that quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding al all.
