diameter rollers to twenty or more
feet, with face one, fourth the diam
etaF, which will hull from a peck TO
hundred bushels an hour. The
rollers have, one soft face which
wears out, and the other a hard groo-
we'd face which is very durable. Both
faces are, however, easily replaced by
new ones when required. 1t can be
adjusted so as to hull only the largest
and hardest grains of asample, the
small soft grains passing through un.
huIled. The rice huiled by this ma.
chine has all of the bran, gum and SUI
gar, also the germ, and can in this
state be cooked, having a distinct
taste, different to the ordinary com-
nerclal rice, and is of course much
more nutritious than the ordinary
rice. From this brief outline our
readers can judge for themselves the
advantages of this machine over the
old system of hulling. In India if
will be OF incalculable value to mer,
chants and others, as it will increase
the market value of the rice. Fall
particulars can be obtained from the
inventor.
