CORN AND FIGURING MILLS.

u The best and cheapest in
THIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
L Of the upper 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
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 to stone than
any other method that Is required in small mills where
the 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 or steam
power, and require millwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
lst. Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the gris without having to supply pressure the
stone from the driving power most undulatory
mills have do this is of great importance when horse
power is used
Cd When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, afording regu
aritv and speed its motion. If mill does not
true and regular you cannot make good meal or -four
3d. The stone is composed of or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks OF sufficient size
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
them.
4t The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind near the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in use.
5h This mill is square frame, made of wood in
the form of husk the "a inch occupying space of
only i or 5 feet square.
9th This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable get ont of order than any other MILL
and does not reqAite millwright to set them up.
It'll. The gearing and pullies of these mills all
of iron and are preferable because there is
cesstv of crossing the band Of pucs keep
it in place; the band does not get and in
the case osngle geared Mills nor is there danger
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 as well corn The 80
inch mill will grind II to ID bushels per hour; tile Sc
inch 90 or more bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 Of these mills have been used prin-
epay the south and west, and have any been
warranted give entire satisfaction, or may be return
ed at expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
cieties 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
mills. There being equal or superior to our mill,
cannot build reputation for 1t by clustering chal-
enges, or by comparison, other mill manufacturers
do with
If mill will not sell without premium certificates
windy challenges for public trials with mills ofadmit-
ted superiorty@ Gor there is no danger Of their trying
their mill with inferior one, others do with ours,
buncomb advertisements then ours will never sell,
fer we shall never descend to either method.
When wants to sell you mill and tells you
that "A inch, Is inch, or 90 inch mill will grind IA
to 30 bushels per hour look at the hole through the
and see if halt that quantity OF corn would pass
through without grinding at all.
