The rapid growth Of our country and
the constantly increasing demand for
practical and durable farm machinery
has brought the wind mill into almost
general use. Their practical value IL M

When at BelUit, Wis, Q few weeks
Nnce, being inter. s,ed in this rapidly
developing business, we spent. an after
noon examining and looking over the
extensive works Of the Eclipse Wind
Mill Co, and were surprised to find 80
large an establishment. We were in
formed that the business of this company

,iniag. The main building is heated
throughout by steam, and furnished with
the most improved machinery, all espe-
cial!y designed for wind mill and pump
work. They employ about IS men,
mostly skilled mechanics, on wind mills
Of all sizes, from the 10 foot farm pump
ing mill TO the large railway and grind
ing mills. The capacity Of the works is
about 1900 mills a year, besides pumps
and cylinders, which they also. make
quite largely. This company are the
owners of the celebrated Wheeler pat
ents, under which a dozen wind mill
companies are licensed, and are the
original inventors of the solid wheel
mill. We strongly recommend this
company and their mills, for they have
had eight years experience and have the
name of making good all their contracts.
The Eclipse mill is the one that uses the
side a n regulator, which is called the
safest and sursst regulation yet produced.
We were told BY an old railroad engineer
on one of u western roads that the
Eclipse mill was about 20 Fer cent.
StiouSCI tuou Guy OtiIcI MILL ouu was
the nearest constructed on mechanical
principles of anything in the line of
wind mills; and from the numbers of
these mills seen on several of our rail-
roads, it would seem others entertaised
a high opinion of them. We believe the
Eclipse mill only costs some $40 more
for 1O-foCt farm mills than others, and
We do nOt think this difference should
be considered in buying . good reliable
mill for a permanent investment. The
company are able and willing to guaI-
antee their work, and farmers who are
contemplating buying q wind mill this
fall will consult their interests by send
ing for illustrated circulars to the secre-
tary of the company, c. B. Salmon,
