J.H. BURROWS PATENT PLANTATION
CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
u The best and cheapest now in use.
HIS Mill differs from all others In the construction
i of the upper or runner stone' whlcn is composed
of French Burr Blocks enclosed in cast-iron case,
and forms the back and hoop of the stone with cast
iron eve or BUSH that is of greater external diameter
at the bottom than at the top, Is secured to the back
by four bolts so that every block is in the form OF
dovetail which gives greater strength to stone than
any other method that s 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 stone of small diameter that is required, without
making it thick or high.
They can be run by either gin, horse, water steam
power, and require no millwright to set them up
lst. Sufficient weight in the stone to crush
the grst without having to supply pressure to the run
stone from the driving power as most undulafory
mills have 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, affording regu-
laritv and speed to its motion. If mill does not
true and regular you cannot make good meal or -four
Sd. The stone is composed of or 5 French burr
blocks, because single blocks of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
them.
4th The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind near the centre 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 miwrght to set them up.
It'll The gearing and pullies Of these mills all
of iron and preferable because there is
cessy of crossing the band of extra puies keep
the of single geared Mills 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 well as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind IL Is bushels per hour; the 36
inch 90 more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used prin-
cpaly in the south and west and never have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
give entire satsfaeon,o 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 equal or superior to our mill,
cannot build reputation for it by clustering chai
lenges, or by comparison, as other mill manufacturers
do with ours
If mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, for public trials with mills ofadmit
ted superiority* or there is danger Of their trying
their mill with inferior one,) others do with
buncomb advertisements, then 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, 20 inch mill will grind IA
to 20 bushels per hour look the hole through the
stones and if halt that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
