Having Teen present at the operation CT yorr newly
patsDt-d Combined 0riudin4 and Boiling, or Merchant
FIGURING Mill, Oh the above date, as previously announe
ID, we do not hesitate ,o'sly, that after Witnessing its
operation, aud examining tIe m .cniue In all ito .psrts,
aud the small space IL occupies being only 81 feet, by
L aud above all, ths extraordinary quantity Of wheat
that it IL capable Of couvgr lag into -four, md that Of the
quality, aud withal, yieiding fully a. much aour
from the wheat ground as usually obtained iu tie old
way, we unhssitatinsly say that 1t has accomplished all
that wss announced Tor IL 70 do. The quantity Of wheat
ground on the trial referred TO was IL bushels per hour,
which 1. more than ~o have ever known 70 30 done With
one pair Of buTrs IL the best constructed KILLS In our
country, or anywhere else, Thus rendering IL at once
the must superior and econoujcsi In vsution Of che sge for
the onysrsiou " wheat into hIur, and with We think
must recommend itself - ali who are Interest In the
business, for its eco10my, simpiicity, and small
snnOupt Of power required 10 prOpel IT. wils1 oomperst
the common nJuring mill, taking into CONSIDERS
ton the amount VI work performed IN either case. The
stones on WHICH the above mentioned wheat wss ground
being oniyaJ insess In diameter, end making about 80
revolutions per minute, and The boiting Of tho Dad being
done ut the same time, 80 sreetuaiiy Ms to convert tbs
wheat At q single operation into ak dinerent qualities Of
s.l iesd, lsmely-eatrs, s~upsrhne, fno and mid
ding -four, shipsturf and bran. Taxing into the oouslte-
ration the excellent combinations OF tbs different parts
Of the mill, and viewing II as We think it IS, not only
worthy the aftsptiou Of those about to engage IN the
business, but ofthoss already 50 epgrgst; on &C.
cpunt vi the ecouomy III The cost OF construction the
small space il occupies, t5s greater quantity Of graip tt
capable Of grinding Per n3sr, which V fully treble us
quantity ground on ope OF the four tset furrs low In
general use In cur county, aud that with no moro powsr
ls apparently required for a four foot burr, we would
