J. II. BURROWS PATENT PLANTATION
CORN AND FIGURING MILLS,
me- THE best and cheapest now


IL The best and cheapest now in use.
THIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
L of the upper or runner stone, which is composed
of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in castiron 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
doveail which gives greater strength to stone 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 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
power, and require milwright to set them up.
" --' ADVANTAGES:
Ist Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grst without having to supply pressure to the rum
ner stone from the driving power, most undulatory
mills have to do this OF great Importance when horse
power is used. IS -4v5.-a.=- -... --
I'd. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the t1v wheel .of engine, affording regu
larity and speed 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 or imperfect places in
them. .. .-.-..=. ,..,... .s5.-.. .ss..-. p. fl.
4h The stone having this great weight is enabled TO
grind near the centre larger quantity with less pow
cr than any other mill now in use. -,
9Th. This mill is square frame, made OF wood, In
the form of husk the "a inch occupying space Oh
only or feet square,. q 4@
9Th This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable to get out of order than any other mill
and does not require millwright to set them up.
/ It'll The gearing and pulies of these mills are all
of iron and are preferable because there is
cessty of crossing the band of pulies keep
it in place: the band does not get and as in
the case of single geared Mills nor is there danger in
putting the band on off the pulley in single gear
mills. zas Il.
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 ~
inch mill will grind II IS bushels per hour the Sc
inch 90 or more bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prin-
cpay in the south and vest and have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction may be return
ed at expense. 8 8@s
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
eeties 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 superior 10 mill,
we cannot build reputation Tor 1t by clustering chal
lenees, or by comparison, as other mill manufacturers
do with ours. asst @
fla mill will not sell without premium certificates OF
windy challenges for public trials with mills Of admit
ted superory* flor there is danger Of their trying
their mill with an inferior one, others do with ours,
or buncomb advertisements then will sell,
| for we shall never descend to either method.
When man 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 at the hole through the
stones and if hall that auantyo of would pass
| through without grinding at all. 81
