FRENCH BURR FARM AND PLANTATION MILL.

Patented August 1st, 1871.

This mill has been built by us and in use for a number of years, and in all cases has proven itself worthy of the reputation it has obtained.

The changes made within the last two years make it the best investment of money that can be made by any one wanting a cheap mill. It is complete in itself, not requiring any hangers, &c., to set it in operation, and can be put to work without an experienced mechanic. In its structure we have not been sparing in the material necessary to make every part strong and durable. They will bear to be continually used with a strong power without any part yielding in the least. The objections to most mills of this class is caused by their being put up in soft wood frames, and castings of frail dimensions, the consequence being that the spindle and important parts soon get out of place. To those having any kind of light power the smaller sizes are well adapted, and in every situation where they have been properly placed their satisfactory working has been exemplified and will be guaranteed by us. It will grind middlings or minerals, all kinds of feed and make good family meal.

The above cut is a fair representation of the mill; it is simple, and has less parts than any other mill in the market. It has a horizontal steel spindle running in anti-friction metal bearings, and a steel seat at its end to receive the pressure of the burrs in grinding.

The runner is placed in an iron back and rigidly keyed to the spindle. The bed stone is so arranged as to be self-adjusting. The mill cannot get out of tram, since when left at liberty it will adjust itself into perfect tram. The bed stone is held up to its place in grinding by a stiff rubber spring, so as to enable it to yield in case any hard substance enters between the burrs, thus obviating the danger of breakage, and yet not permitting the stones to yield or press apart in grinding ordinary substances. The spindle being horizontal this mill can be driven directly from an engine, horse-power, or line-shaft. One great item of superiority is that a strong or light power may be used and the mill will grind in proportion, and will do good work at the same time. Every mill warranted.

CORN AND COB CRUSHER, AND GRINDER.

Chill Hardened Corn and Cob Cracker, Bone and Bark Mill.

They are made of the best chill hardened iron, well fitted, and are undoubtedly the best thing now made for the purpose, outwearing, in some instances, three of the common kind. They can be set up in any kind of a building, sometimes to the side on two strong brackets, or on any suitable frame. It has a tight bottom and side spout, the power can be applied at either the upper or lower end of spindles, or it can be run with horizontal shaft by belt and gear. Speed from 160 to 175 revolutions per minute. Capacity from 30 to 60 bushels corn per hour, depending upon speed, power, and condition of corn.

They can be furnished complete with a large iron hopper, and set on a frame, with gearing, shaft, tight and loose pulley attached if so ordered.

PATENT CENTRIFUGAL CORN SHELLER AND CLEANER.

Clean the Shelled Corn Perfectly. Shell each Ear Separately. Require no Self-Feeders. They shell Clean. Do not Break the Cobs. Do not waste the Corn.

The above is a cut of our No. 1 Centrifugal Corn Sheller and Cleaner. The operation of this Sheller is as follows:

The ears of corn are shoveled direct into the Sheller, and fall on to the center of a flat Perforated Shelling Wheel where they are thrown by centrifugal force towards the outside, but being caught by guides held down by a spring plate working between them are, “by the action of the wheel,” made to revolve, the corn shelled off, and the cobs forced off the wheel endwise and without being broken, fall on the Cob Carrier, and are carried away from the Sheller; while the shelled corn passes through the Cob Carrier to the Shaker, and thence to the Conveyor, into the Elevator, when it is raised into bags, wagons or cars.

In cleaning the shelled corn they cannot be excelled. In addition to our Cob Carrier, we have a Shaker with a sieve made of perforated iron, which is preferable to a wire sieve, as no silks will adhere to and clog it. While falling on and passing through the Shaker, the grain is subjected to a strong blast from the fan, which thoroughly cleans it of all chaff, pieces of cobs, dirt, etc., leaving it in prime order for market.

Our No. 1 will shell and clean from 700 to 1200 bushels of shelled corn per day, with two to four horse power.
