CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
IT The best and cheapest now in use.
THIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
Il 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 at the top, is secured to the back
by four bolts that every block IS in the form of
doveail, which gives greater strength to than
any other method that required in small mills where
the stone is with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if strong y made. 1t also gives any weight
to a stone of small diameter that is required without
making it thick or high.
They can be run by either gn horse, water steam
power, and require millwright to set them up.
-"@ v, ADVANTAGES:
lst. Sufficient weight in the stone to crush
the grist without having to supply pressure to the
ner stone from the driving power, most undulatory
mills have do this is of great importance when horse
power is used.
I'd. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of an engine, afording regu-
larity and speed to its notion 1t mill does not
true and regular you cannot make good meal flour.
Sd. The stone is composed of or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places in
Them
4th. The having this great weight is enabled
grind 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 out of order than any other MILL
and does not require millwright to set them up.
It'll. The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there is
cessity of crossing the band of pues keep
it in place; the band does not get cut and worn in
the of singh 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 to 10 bushels per hour, of good
meal and will grind wheat as we'll as The 30
inch mill will grind IL to 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-
cipaly iuhe south and wes and never have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction, or may be
ed at our expense.
We have premium certificates from scientific So
cetes to refer to, having asked for them but
we do reter with some pride, to about twenty-five
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being equal or superior our mill,
we build reputation for it by clustering cha-
lenges, or by comparison, other mill manufacturers
do with ours.
If mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, for public trials with mills of admit
ted superioriy* or there is danger of their trying
their mill with an inferior one others do with ours
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 ID inch, Is inch, or 20 inch mill will grind ii
10 20 bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
stones and see if half that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
