The true Democrat., 1857-03-31

FIN presenting to the public the claims of this ma E chincry will state that it's production s the result of the combined efforts of several of the most practical nachiniss and experienced mill men in the country During the last few years we have examined many new inventions and appliances in this connecticut ana have consulted with several thousand Incciancs; fully experienced in the Use of machinery for the anufacture of lumber. During the last year we have sold and shipped to various parts of thiS cont ncnt nearly one hundred steam Ins' the fcsuts oi which have afforded q large amount ot practical infrnation as to the difficulties to beoVercone the defects W hich have to be guarded against and the objects to be obtained in machinery of thls character The mill we now offer does not claim its superiority from any single improvement patent which it may embrace but as a combination of all the most valua- ble improvements which could be included within single machine, added to which are several new ap pliances lately patented, and others for which pat ent, have been applied for. It has been thoroughly and practically tested, and has neen examined by large number of well known scientific and eXper- enccd mechanics, whose certificates shall soon publish all of whom pronounce it more simple in its construction, more durable and more efficient ill its operation than any mill ever before produced.
 The Motive Power.
 The engine and boiler, wbich have been planned and constructed tor driving the 'Conlbination Mill" are 50 compact and substantial and easily man aged that almost every extensive farmer or planter would find them as convenient and valuable for the farm or plantation as span of horses yoke of oXen NJ one need be deterred from becoming the possessor of this motive power by apprehensions of difficulty in running or taking care of it. for it is smpliied as to be within the comprehension of any udicious per,on, who will note the instructions always fur nshed with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long has eight inch cyl sder eighteen inch stroke with feed pump attached to and operated by the engine. The driving pulley, which also serves for balance wheel is feet in di am ter and ten inch face.
 The boiler is of locomotive construction, ten feet Jl/ ol,o 1i,,,,, and six feet long. The ~hell is 34 inches in diameter. The fire box 36 inches and 2S inches wide; smoke pife lS inches in diameter and 30 feet long.
 The engine and boiler which usually fur nish may be rated at fourteen horse power which is su u.fcient to drive the mill together with circular saw. shingle mill. small grst mill. or other ma chinery of a similar character .As surplus power is always of great advantage. this is the power we l usually furnish with the mill.
 Prices.

 The whole establishments with four or five yoke of oxen. either upon carts. wagons or tr ,ck>. be easily moved at the r..le of from l5 zo miles per iay The entire machinery can be taken apart and i'l gct iihr again iU a very few hoarS time Thus -he necessity ut moving the oe~ long distance to the fnill ~ entirely ohviatcd. ii k much cheaper to move the mill to the iogs 4, it will be pcrccil ed tlers i- so ma-on work repaired ard no building uulc~. th, parties chose to erect rough shed t. pro- tect it and the operators from the weather

 From tLi. data any practical man will see that it is capable of cutting about 35co feet of inch boards in r. hours.
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mill we have ever scen while is advantage over the circular Mill are that it s cheaper requires less power t. run it. is much less iahie to get of order is much less expensive to repair when damaged, makes less i'm perfect work wastes less in cutting. is dangerous to the parties attending it like the circular mill and is capable of cutting much larger timber.
 The scgnents and friction which furnish for thc carriage are sufficient to logs twenty four feet long. An extra length will be sent when desired and an extra charge made. The pump sent s worked by the engine and i sufficient to raise water about twenty feet. Where it k desirable to raise water o supply the boiler, from greater dcph force pumT will be furnished and ain extra large made fr it.
