THE NEW RICE MACHINE.
VardelPs Grain Separator-A Blessing
The IIra RIanfar

In the NetrS and Courier OF Nov. 20 the
first public exhibition of the working of
the Vardell Rough Rice and Grain Sepa-
rator was briefly noticed, but the machine
is one OF 50 much practical value that a
fuller statement Of the uses 70 which il is
10 De applied and Of the results already
accomplished will be read with interest.
The invention Of this machine is chiefly Of
interest 70 the rice planter, 10 whom il
must prove u great source OF profit, as
viii be seen nom the following facts:

does, namely. q remove this pest. and
such efforts up to the present time
have met with only partial success. 80

by one Of our most prominent rice millers,
/ Five hundred bushels Of nee were shipped

I this lot. after having been prepared tor

/ of talliuES or debris. On this. Of course,
Z the planter had paid fuu freight, iuSUr-
I agce. toll and all the usual charges, as on
/ so bushels OF rough rice. In other words,
Y is per cent. Of the expenses incident upon
! bringing and preparing his rice for mar
I ket would never have been incurred if the
I planter had used on his place one Of Var
I iel.'s Rough Rice and Grain Separat0rs,
2 for the latter would have taken out all
/ this 50 bushels Of trash and left 1t at home.
/ This means a small fortune of saving TO
a rice planter. The above, Of course, is
/ al extreme case. but the same thing hap
/ pens. more or less, with every lot OF rice
shipped.
The millers have taken favorable notice
Of this machine because with them well
prepared rough rice means largely
increased days work, for they can pound
! much more rapidly and satisfactorily
when the rough rice is free from all mix
| lures OF any kind.
1t is said by those who ought to know,
that this grain separator ranks in impOr-
| lance with almost any OF the inventions Of
the last ten years, and is destined to be OF
great practical value, as its use is not con-
fined te rice, but can be adopted to any
| grain. Especially Will it be hailed with
delight by the rice planter as a means Ct
making the cultivation of this valuable
staple product more remuneratiye and
satisfactory.
The arrangements for the manufacture
Of the new machine, and for bringing it
properly before the public, are in the
hands or the inventor, Mr.. W. B. Vardell,
and his associate owner, Mr.. John Won
oven. of the firm of Henry BischOff & Co.
The machine is regularly at work at the
above establishment, where it can be at
any time seen by those interested in rice
culture.
1t is understood that this important in
yentiOn is soon to be developed by joint
stock company, and that a charter is to
l~be applied for, so that Charleston may
reap her fair share of the reward Of her
own inventive skill and enterprise
