JH. BURROWS PATENT PLANTATION
CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.
IL The best and cheapest now in use.
NHIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
/ i of the upper runner stone, which is composed
of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in a cast-ron case
and forms the back and hoop of the stone, with
iron eye bush, that is of greater external diane
the bottom than the top is secured to the back
by four bolts, that every block is in the form of
doveta which gives greater strength to stone than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone is with great speed and becomes DANCE
if not strongly made. 1t also gives any weight
to of small diameter that is required without
making it thick or high.
They can be run by either gin, horse or steam
power and require miwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
lst Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grst without having to supply pressure the
ner stone from the driving power, most unduatory
mills have do; this is of importance when horse
power is used
ID. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine affording regu-
laritv and speed to its notion If mill does not run
true and regular you cannot make good meal flour.
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.
4h The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in r
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 out of order than any other MILL
and does not require millwright to set them up.
It'll. The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there is ne
cessity of crossing tie band of pues keep
it in place; the band does not get and in
the of single geared mills; nor is there danger in
putting the band on 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 well as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind - to Is bushels per hour the SO
inch 20 or more bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prin-
eipay in the south and west and have any been
returned from falling to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction or may be return
ed at our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
cletes to refer to, having asked for them but
we do refer, with some pride, to about enty-fve
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being equal or superior to our mill,
We cannot build reputation for it by clustering cha-
lenges, or by comparison, other mill manufacturers
do with ours.
mill ,-or,;.,r,
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit
ted superiory* or there is danger of their trying
their mill with inferior one,) others do with ours
buncomb advertisements then ours will never SELL
tor we shall never descend to either method.
When man wants to sell you mill and tells you
that inch, Is inch, 20 inch mill will grind IA
to 90 bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
stones and see if hall that quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding at all.
