MILL STONE DRESSING MACuINE-Mr. J.
b. Harris has patented machine for dressing
stone that supplies want for long years much
needed. 1t is labor-saving machine, worked
by hand, and will do more work in an hour
than man can do in days hard work, and
the labor is light. 1t is simple and perfect
contrivancc, so arranged that by turning a
crank gently and easily and raising a lever,
the machine runs rapidly, with proper and
unvarying force, SO that the mill stone has no
stellated fractures, and consequently the face
of the stone is not weakened, while the lines
ofindentation are qu-distant from each other.
