Having Eeeu present at the operation Of youI newly
patented Combined Grinding End Boiling, or Merchant
FIGURING Mil, on the above date, as previously aupoare
I'd, we do not hesitate to'sty, that after Witnessing its
operation, and examining the N ,cbine in all It's parts
and the small space it occupies, being only 81 feet, by
4 and above ali, the extraordinary quantity Of whes,
tlat IL is capable ofcouverting into -four, rid that 81 the
oest quality, and withsl, yielding fully as much -four
from tue wheat ground Is usually obtained in the old
way, We auhesitatinpy say that 1t has accomplished all
that was announced FOR It to do, The quantity Of wheat
ground on the trial referred 70 was IL bushell per hour,
which is tnore than We have ever known 20 BE- done with
me pair of burrs in the best constructed mills il our
country, or anywhere else Thus rendering IL at once
the most superior and economical invention of the age for
the conversion Of wheat into fetar, aud Which we think
mnst recommend itself to all who are Interested In the
milling business, for its economy, simplicity, and small
amount Of power required 10 ProPel IL, when compared
with the common Touring mills, taking into considera-
ton the amount OF work performed in either case. The
stones on which the above mentioned whsst vas ground
being ouiy5o iDeses in diameter, and making about $50
revolutions per minute, and the bVlting ofthe meal icing
done ut tho same time, 40 efsctual1y IS to convert the
wheat at a single operation into six different qualities Of
-four sed feed, n~aTnely-extra, superhne, fne and mid
ding ho1r, ~shipstuff and bran. Taking into the conside-
ration the e1ceiient combinations OF the different parts
| Of the mill, and viewing it AZ we think IL IS, not only
worthy the attention or those about to engage in the
milling business, but Of those already SO engaged; on &C.
count ofthe economy in the cost Of construction, the
ANAL space ii cccupies, the greater quantity Of grain II
is capable Of grinding per hour, which Is fully treble the
quantity ground on one Of the four feet burrs now in
general use in our county, and that with no more power
llan Is apparently required for a four foot burr, we would
/ respectfully say &c all, whether interested in the milling
business or not, 70 cad and examine for themselves, as
the inventors and proprietors Of this valuable improve
ment manifest no disposition TO deceive the pubnci
