CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
C The best and cheapest now in use.
THIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
i of the upper or runner stone, which is composed
of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in cast-ron case,
and forms the back and hoop of the stone, with
iron eye or bnsh that is of greater external diameter
at the bottom than the top is secured to the back
by four bolts so that every block is in the form Of
dovetai, which gives greater strength to stone than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone is with greet speed and becomes DANCE
rous if not strongly made. 1t 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
power, and require millwright to set them up
ADVANTAGES:
LIST. Sufficient weight in the stone to crush
the grist without having supply pressure to the run
ner stone from the driving power most undulatory
mills have this is of great importance when horse
power is used. y .}t5s .s.5sf-- rtg.H . .. .. g
3D. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, affording regu
larity and speed to its motion. If mill does not
true and regular you cannot make good meal or flour.
3d. The stone is composed of or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks of sufficient size
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
them. -..-. .-- III.
4h 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 5 feet square. s.
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.
7h. The gearing and pullies of these mills all
of iron and are preferable because there is
cessiy of crossing the band of extra pues keep
it in places the band does not get cut and worn as in
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 as well as The 81
inch mill will grind IL Is bushels per hour; the 36
inch 20 or bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used prin
cpaly in the south and west, and have any been
returned from failing to please The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfacono may be return
ed at expense.
We have premium certificates from scientific
ceties refer to, never having asked for them, but
we do refer, with pride, to about twenty-five
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being equal or superior to mill,
build reputation for by clustering chal
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 superiority* or there is danger of their trying
or 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 4inch, l8 inch, 90 inch mill will grind IA
to 20 bushels per hour, look the hole through the
and if half that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
