Having been present nj the operation of your newly
patented Combined Grinding aud Boiling, or Merchant
FIGURING Mill. on the ab0v1 date, as previously announc-
Ell. we do not hesitate to say, that after witnessing its
operation, and examining the machine in all its paris.
and the small space it occupies, being ouly FL feet, by
d sai above all, the extraordinary quantity Of wheat
taat it is calshlS olcopSertiug i%atotour, and that OF the
bsst quality, and Mitial, yielding fully as much -four
from the wheat ground as usually obpined in the old
way, we aahesiatiagly say that i has accomplished all
that was announced for it TO do. The quantity of wheat
ground on the trial referred to was II bushels per hour,
which is more than we have ever known to be done with
one pair VI burrs in the best constructed mills in our
country. or any where else. Thus rendering 1t at once
the most superior aud economical Invention ofthe age for
the conyersioa Of wheat iato flour, aud which we think
must recommend itself TO all who are interested in the
milling business, for its economy, simplicity, aud 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 wheat was ground
being only 50 ineees in diameter, and making about 500
revolutions per minute, and the boiling of the meal being
done at the same time, SO eneetuaAy as to convert the
wheat at d single operation into six different qualities OF
-four aed feel, hamCly-eAtra, superhne, me anu mid
ding flour, sli.stufi and bran. Taking into the conside-
ration the excellent combinations Of the different parts
Of the mill, and viewing ii as We think it is, not only
worthy the attention Of those about to engage in the
milling business, but OF those already SO engaged; on ac-
count OF the economy in the cost of construction, the
small space ii occupies, the greater quantity OF grain it
Is CAPABLE OF grinding per hour, which Is fully treble the
quantity ground ON 0ne Of the four feet burrs now in
general use III cur county, and that with no more power
than s apparently required for . four loot burr, we Would
business or not, 10 call and examine for themselves, as
the inventors and propEietors Of tins valuable improve
ment manifest no disposition to deceive the public. ~
