CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
II The best and cheapest now in use.
THIS Milldfers from all others in the construction
L Of the upper runner stone, which is composed
OF French Burr Blocks enclosed in a cast-iron case
and forms the back and hoop Of the stone, with cast
iron eye or bush, that is Of greater external diameter
at the bottom than at the top, is secured to the back
by four bolts, that every block Is in the form of
doveaii, which gives greater strength than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone i5 with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if not strongly made It also gives any weight
TO stone of small diameter that is required without
making ii thick or high.
They can be run by either GIN horse water or steam
power, and require no mwright 10 set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
1st Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grst without having supply pressure the
stone from the driving power. most glatery
mills have to do; this Is Of greaimporance when horse
power is used
I'd. When the stone is running its momentum
like the fy wheel of engine, afording regu-
larity and speed to its motion Il mill does not
trne and regaIaryou cannot make good meal or -four
Sd. The stone is compossSnof or French burr
blocks because blocks 6rsufcient cannot
be had withog@havin soft or imperfect places in
them.
Liz The I'D having this great weight is enabled to
griad the centre larger quantity with less pow
or than any other mill now in use.
9Th. This mill is a square-same, made of wood, in
The form ola tl hask <s "a issh space OF
9th. TVS mia simp ID strongly Constructed
and less liable &gsfpu M esesr than any other mill,
and d not req1ks miiIwEight to set them up.
7th. - gearing and pulIiRe of these mills are all
of iron aaeare preferable because there never is
cessity OF crossing the band of extra pues keep
it in place. the band does not get cut and worn as in
the of single geared mills; is there danger III
putting the baaaaa or off the pulley as in single gear
mills.
By TIE stea5papplication of steam power, the "a
inch mil will grind to lApushes per hour, Of good
meal, aud vii grind wheafas well corn. The 80
inch mill ~ grind u Is bushels per hour the IS
inch 20 or mora t&ehes per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills haye been used. prin-
cpay in the south and and have any been
returned from failing please. The above mill is
warranted give entire satsfactiono may be return
ed expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
cieties 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 no equal or superior to mill,
we cannot build a reputation for it by clustering chal-
enges, 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 superiorty* for there is danger Of their irving
their mill with inferior one others do with ours
buncomb advertisements, then ours will never sell,
for we shall never descend to either method.
When wants to sell you mill and tells you
that IA inch, Is inch, 30 inch mill will grind IA
20 bushels per hour look the hole through the
and see If halt that quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding al all.
