THE MOTIVE POWER.

The engine and boiler which have been PLAN
ned and constructed for driving the 'sCombina-
tion Mili,'' are so compact and substantial and
so easily managed that almost every extensive
farmer or planter would find them as conve-
nient and valuable for the farm or plantation
a s pan of horses or yoke of oxen. No one
need be deferred from the possessor of this
motive power, by apprehensions of difficulty
in running or taking care of it, for it is so sim
pliied as to be within the comprehension of
any judicious person, who will note the instruc-
tions always furnished with it.
The engine is nine feet long, has an eight
inch cylinder, eighteen inch stroke, with feed
pump attached to and operated by the engine.
| The driving puily, which also serves for bal
anee wheel, is FIVE feet in diameter and ten inch
| face. EfE- -,
feet long, containing Al tubes, D inches in di-
ameter. The fire box 36 inches long and %
| inches wide; smoke pipes Is inches in diane
ter and so feet long.
The engine and boiler which we usually fur
nishmay be rated at fourteen hors. power,
| which is sufficient to drive the Mill, together
| with circular saw, shingle mill, a small grist
mill, or other machinery of a similar character.
AS surplus power is atw ays OF great adVantugr,
this is the power we always furnish with the
mill.
PRICES:
We furnish these mills and powers as des
cribed above, including all the screws, bolts,
beltings, CRATE bars, saw, pump, wrenches
| crowbars, and everything necessary to be used
in or about the mill in running, excepting the
two long bed pieces and the wood work of the
/ carriage, which can easily be made anywhere,
the whole put up and boxed, and delivered to
this city, on board the desired transportation
line, for $3.50, with the addition of freight
from New York, say $125.
i To parties desiring larger power, we can fur
nish an engine and boiler of eighteen horse pow
er, constructed in the same style as the above
| with mill containing an eight foot saw, and
other part corresponding, for $1,000.
! The above are our lowest cash terms, paya-
BILE on delivery in the city.
| PORTABILITY AND FREIGHTAGE.
The mill and power as described above, all
complete, weighs five tous, as follows:
/ Boiler, with connexions, .-.... 3 400 lbs.
Engine, ...... 2 400 lbs.
| Mill, $685.. ...s.. ..... -, ,2OO lbs.
i The whole establishment, with four or five
yoke of oxen, either upon carts, wagons or
! trucks, can be easily moved at the rate of from
10 to 20 miles per day. The entire machinery
/ can be taken apart, and put together again in a
few hours time. Thus the necessity of moving
the logs long distance to the mill, is entirely
| obviated, as it is much cheaper to move the mill
/ to the logs AS it will be perceived, there is
| no mason work required, and no building, un-
less the parties choose to erect rough shed to
protect the operators frcm the weather.
HOW MUCH 1T WILL DO.
The speed of this Mill is about three hun
dred stroks of the saw per minute, and the feed
1 from rs to of an inch for every stroke de.
i pending upon the character of the timberr.-
| Thus, at medium speed the saw would cut
i through log II feet long in from one to two
minutes. f+t
/ From this data, any practical man can see
that it is capable of cutting about 5000 feet OF
inch boards in II hours. -
1t will saw more rapidly than any mill we
have ever seen, while its advantages over the
circular mill are, that it is cheaper, requires
less power to run it, is much less liable to gel
cut of order, is much less expensive to repair:
| when damaged, does less imperfect work
wastes less in cutting, Is not dangerous to the
parties attending it like the circular mill, and
is capable of cutting much larger timber.
4 The segments and friction wheels we furnish
for the carriage are sufficient to saw logs twen-
ty-foar feet long. An extra length will be seni
when desired, and an extra charge made. The
pump sent is worked by the engine, add is suf-
| ncient to raise water about twenty feet. Where
it is desirable to raise water to supply the boil
Il or, fran greater depth, a force pump will be
furnished and an extra charge made fer it,
| Drawings and full explanations are sent with
each mill, also complete model, showing all
the PARTS put together on small scaie, with
each part numbered the same as the correspon-
ding part of the machinery Of the mill Thus
assurance is made ioubly sure, that no one car
fail 20 put up the mill and run 1t without diff.
Guilty.
The ssCombination Mill'' is confidently Of
feredt to the pablic as the most simples efieien
and practicable machine for manufacturing
lumber ever produced.
No mill is considered ordered until at leas
/ 500 is paid upon it.
