J.H. BURROWS, PATENT PLANTATION
CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
NJ 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, hatis 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 stone than
any other method that required in small mills where
the stone is run with great speed and becomes DANCE
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 or steam
power, and require milwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
lst. Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grist without having to supply pressure to the
ner stone from the driving power, most undulatory
mills have this is of great Importance when horse
power is used.
ID. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, afording regu-
larity and speed to its notion If mill does not run
true and regular you cannot make good meal flour.
Sd. The stone is composed of or French burr
blocks because single blocks OF sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
Them .tr.. -t .za.
4th The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind the larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in
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.
It'll. The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
of ircn and preferable because there is ne
cessty of crossing the band of extra puies keep
it in pace the band does not get cut and in
the case single geared mills; nor is there danger
putting the band on 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 well as The 30
inch mill will grind - Is bushels per hour; the sc
inch 90 or more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used prin-
cipay in the south and west and have any been
returnedtrom failing to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction or may be return
ed at our expense.
We nave no premium certificates from scientific So
ciees to refer to, having asked for them but
we de refer, with pride, to about twenty-five
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills There being no equal superior to mill,
we cannot build reputation for it by clustering cha-
lenges, or by comparison other mill manufacturers
do with ours.
Ifa mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit
ted superorys (or there is danger Of their trying
their mill with inferior one as 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 a mill and tells you
that finch, ls inch, 20 inch mill will grind IA
to 20 bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
stones and if halt that quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding at all.
