THIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
i 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 eye bush, that is Of greater external diameter
at the bottom than the top. is secured to the back
by four bolts SO that every block is in the form of
dovetail, which gives greater strength than
any other method hatis required In small mills where
the is with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous 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 gn horse, water steum
power, and require NJ miwright TO set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
Ist Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the gust, without having to supply pressure e the run
ner from the driving power, most nnduato-y
mills have do; this is of reatimportance when horse
power is used.
3D. When the stone il running its own momentum
nets like the ay wheel Of an engine, afordng regu
lary and speed to its motion. If mill does not run
and regular you cannot make good meal or 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.
4,h. The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind near the centre alargerquantity with less pow
or 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 of
/ only A 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 milluTght to set them up.
7th. The gearing and puliies Of these mills all

cessity Of crossing the band Of extra puies keep
it in place; the band does not get and in
the case of single geared mills; nor there danger
putting the band off the pulley 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 The 80
inch mill will grind 10 Is bushels per hour; the 36
inch 90 or more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 Of these mills have been used, prin-
cpally in the south and wes and never have any been
