II The best and cheapest now in use
'NHlS Mill differs from all others in the construction
L 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 bush, that is of greater external diameter
the bottom than the top is secured the back
by four bolts so that every block is in the form of
doyeta which gives greater strength than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone is run with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if not strongly made It also gives any weight
to of small diameter that is required, without
making it thick high.
They can be run by either GIN horse water or steam
power, and require no miIlwright to set them Up.
ADVANTAGES:
1st. Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grist without having supply pressure the run
ner stone from the driving power, most undulaory
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 engine, affording regu-
lartv and speed to its motion. If mill does not run
true and regular you cannot make good meal or -four
Sd. The stone is composed Of or French burr
blocks because single blocks OF sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places in
them.
4th The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind the centre larger quantity with less pow
cr 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 5 feet square.
9th This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable to get of order than any other MILL
and does not require a miIwright to set them up.
18th. The gearing and pues of these mills are all
of iron and are preferable because there never is
cessitv of crossing the band of pulles keep
it in place. the band does get cut and worn as in
the case of single geared Mills nor is there danger
putting the band off the pulley in single gear
mills.
By the steady application of steam power, the %
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 II Is bushels per hour the Sc
inch 20 or bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 of these mills have been used prn-
cipav in the south and west and have any been
returned from failing to please The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction or may bereturn-
ed at our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
cietes to refer to- never 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

ted superory* (or there is danger of their trying
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 man wants to sell you mill and tells you
that Il inch Is inch, or 20 inch mill will grind IA
to 30 bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
and see halt that quantity Of would pass
through without grinding at all.
