A PROMISING INDUSTRIAL
CONCERN.
The Winston Agricultural Works
and The little Queen Grain and
Seed Separator and
Grader.

The Winston Agricultural Works has
now effected a thorough organization and
are manufacturing tue Little Queen Grain
and Seed Separator and Grader IN large
quantities. The machine received the
highest premium at the last Virginia
Agricultural Far and is destined TO re-
ceive just distinctions hereafter. 1t is
Acknowledged By the most experienced
Farmers and Grain Dealers to be the most
perfect machine of the kind in the mar
kct. No Farmer or Grain Dealer can
afford TO be without one for warehouses
it is indispensable for farm purposes it
is unsurpassed. Farmers and Grain
Dealers can get No. seed from their fiji
thiest grain by once running it through
the machine. 1t will separate all kinds
of filth, foreign PARTICLES and undcvelop-
ed grains and seeds, such as Oats, Bar
ley, Rye, Cheat; White Clips, Wild
Onions, Smut; Cookie, and all foul stuff
that may grow with any kind or seed.
This valuable machine Is the only per
feet Grader in use and this makes it Of
great service to the farmer when he is
preparing his seed for sowing or for the
mill.
by an ingenious, yet simple arrange
ncnt, the separating OF all foul stuff and
the grading process are both successfully
accomplished by once running the grain,
&c, through the machine; the different
grades being kept separate and distinct,
and being deposited in different boxes or
vessels at the same time. The first grade
gives the largest and best matured kerr
nels making the highest quality of seed;
the second grade, suitable for market and
the mill: while the screening and broken
grains are deposited in a third box or
apartment; and the chaff, smut. white
caps, oats, wild onions, &c. are carried
off by the blast at the rear Of the machine,
thus making four divisions. The shoes
are independent of each other, and easily
changed from a light to a heavy shake.
70 suit the grain or seed hat is being run
through, and this can be used 10 chang
ing the quantity of seed to be used for
sowing or the first grade.
The blast from the fans can also be
changed from a mild breeze to a very
strong blast, or can be shut off entirely,
by means of the fan gauges on each side
side ofthe drum. While the machine is
perfect IN Its arrangements, it Is still very
simple, ard is easily understood and oper
ated. BY the aid of printed directions,
accompanying each machine, any person
with the slightest knowledge Of machine
ry can operate it successfully in a short
time. All the different sleeves and screens
are plainly marked, and the various parts
OF the machine are numbered. The ma
chine is built of the best material, by
skilled workmen, and is very durable and
not liable to get out Of order. The Little
Queen has SO square feet OF screens,
properly arranged for all kinds of grain
and grass seeds, &c, and will grade, clean
and separate Wheat, Oats, Peans, Heans,
Barley, Corn, Buck Wheat, Rye, Flax
Seed, Glover, Timothy and Orchard
Grass, Rice, Coffee. and all other grains
and seeds. 1t is claimed to be best ma
chine ever offered.
1t can be carried either by hand or
power, does not take up much room,
and weighs l60 pounds. The size made
at present has a capacity Of thirty bushels
per hour. The manufacture Of 80 impor-
tant a machine Is an industry that the
Farmer and Moch1nic is glad to see win
the Patronage it so rich deserves.
