View of Eureka Smutter.Sectional View.(See following page.)This Cut Represents either size Machine driven from the Top when so required.Some of the Reasons why the Eureka Should be used in preference to any other Smut and Separating Machine now offered for Sale:1st. The scourer used in the Eureka is constructed of the best importedcast sheetsteel, manufactured and rolled expressly for this purpose. The scouring is done on an entire smooth surface, and by direct action on the grain, thoroughly scours and polishes the berry without waste, and at the same time retains its scouring qualities until the scouring case is entirely worn out. As the beaters or fan blades of the revolving scouring cylinders are chilled cast-iron, they will last for years without perceptible wear, and when the steel case is worn out by severe friction of the grain, can be replaced at a small expense. All machines are so strongly and permanently built, and the revolving cylinder so perfectly balanced, that they will, with ordinary care, lastfor years, with the small additional expense of renewing the scouring case, once in from three to five or eight years, as the case may be.2d. For its entire reliability in cleaning the worst samples of smutty wheat; the preliminary or first separator is attached to all the No. 0, 1, 2 and 3 Ordinary sizes, which removes smut balls, dust, chaff, chess or cheat, and light and worthless grains, before the wheat goes to the scourer. As the scourer is thoroughly ventilated, supplied by air at the bottom, and discharging the smut and dust loosened from the grain during the process of scouring, through the perforations of the scouring case, and the fan at the same time drawing a strong current of air through the revolving cylinder, there is no possibility of the grain coming in contact with smut and dust during the process of scouring. Most of the so-called close scouring machines that are now being urged upon millers are destitute of this important principle, and hence worthless.3d. The Eureka, so far as we know, is the only machine that has a perfect shoe attachment, and where the machine is the best known is always invariably ordered. It requires little or no attention, being driven by a belt from main shaft of the machine and a spring pitman; it makes no noise, and with the improved double screen, takes out more headings, straw joints, rat filth, corn and oats, than can possibly be taken out with the rolling screen, while the cockle screen takes out cockle, sand, etc., and we earnestly advise all persons ordering the No. 0, 1 or 2 machines, to order the shoe in all cases. It is now very seldom that we have an order for either of the three sized machines above referred to without the shoe, and in nine cases out of ten when machines are so ordered, the shoe is afterwards ordered, thereby causing extra expense and trouble.The last reason we shall give is that this is, in all respects, the best wheat cleaning machine in the world; this to millers is an important consideration, and cannot well be overlooked.In Ordering Smut Machines,First, decide the size or number of machine wanted, and in deciding this, it will be well to remember that the machines will do all claimed for them. If a machine is wanted to clean twenty-five bushels per hour, a No. 1 machine, run to the motion designed for it, will do it much better than a No. 2, and either size machine run to the motion and fed to the full capacity, will do much better work than if run at a less motion and with a less feed. Some have thought that if a No. 3 machine, for instance, will clean one hundred bushels per hour well, that it will clean sixty bushels better. This is a mistake.Warranty.All machines are warranted to be built of the very best material and perfect in all their parts, and any defect in the material or construction will be made good to the purchaser without charge; and further, to give entire satisfaction, when put up and run according to directions attached to all machines.Terms.When the cash is remitted with the order, or within thirty days from date of shipment, a discount of five per cent. will be allowed, or list price at the end of ninety days. If longer time is required, approved notes on interest after ninety days from date of shipment, payable in bank, will be required.NoEXTREMEHEIGHT.Heightfrom wherewheat entersto floor.SIZEONFLOORMotion per MinuteDIAMETEROFPULLEY.HeightfromFloor toCentreofPulley.CAPACITYPERHOUR.05 ft 5 in.4 ft2 ft 2 in.7006 in--4 in face1 foot.10 to 15 bu16 ft 2 in.5 ft 6 in.2 ft 2 in.7007 in--4 in face1 foot.20 to 30 bu26 ft 10 in6 ft 2 in.2 ft 8 in.62510 in--5 in face1 foot 2 in.40 to 60 bu37 ft 6 in.5 ft 9 in.3 ft 1 in.55014 in--6 in face1 foot 4 in.100 to 125 buLength’ Scourer.27 ft 8 in.5 ft 2 in.2 ft 8 in.65010 in--5 in face1 foot 1 in.40 to 60 bu37 ft 11 in5 ft 3 in.3 ft 2 in.55014 in--6 in face1 foot 1 in.100 to 125 bu48 ft 2 in.5 ft 6 in.3 ft 6 in.50014 to 16 in--8 in face1 foot 1 in.125 to 150 bu58 ft 2 in.5 ft 4 in.3 ft 9 in.45018 to 24 in--8 in face1 foot 4 in.175 to 200 buDUSTLESS OAT SEPARATOR AND ZIGZAG.With two or four Wheat Riddles and Cockle Riddle.Patented April 9, 1861; Re-issued, April 19, 1871.This Machine is named “Dustless Separator,” because theDustis separated from the wheat, conveyed out of the mill, and deposited in a dust room, before the grain passes to the riddles; the wheat and screenings are left free from dust.Its operation is as follows:—The grain enters the Machine at the hopper, which is shown, where it receives thefirstblast; then passes through two to four wheat riddles in succession, and over a cockle riddle into thesecondblast. The riddles deposit oats, sticks, weeds, ergot, rat-balls, etc., in suitable spouts; the heavy screenings fall into a hopper and are spouted off. This Machine has none butsuction blasts, and is offered to the milling community as afirst-class Separator.Dimensions and Capacity.No.Capacityper hour.Size onfloor.ExtremeHeight.Pulley.Rev. perminute.230 to 40 bush.33×345 ft. 4 in6 in.4402 riddles for360 to 80 bush.45×345 ft. 5 in6 in.440winter wheat230 to 40 bush.33×346 ft. 2 in6 in.4404 riddles for360 to 80 bush.45×346 ft. 3 in6 in.440spring wheatFLOUR PACKER.FLOUR PACKERS.Mattison’,Taggart’and other well known Packers, ready for shipment on short notice.

The lower section of the outside case containing the spouts never being removed after once set up in the mill; the shoe can be turned to any position required, by turning the top plate with it which can be done by slacking the tie rods that bind all together.The manufacturers have recently improved their already celebrated and widely-known Machine. They say in their latest circular, “We have had thirteen years experience on Bran Dusters, and nearly eleven years of the time on our present Machine, and think we understand the wants of Millers in this line perfectly. Our aim has been to make as perfect a Duster as could be made, and think we now have a perfect one to offer the milling public.“Ours is a vertical Machine and so constructed that it can be run either with or against the sun, as may be required.“The Wire-cloth Cylinder is made in halves, and can be unbolted and taken out one-half at a time, and can be turned around for examinationon all sideswhile the Machine is running.“We put on all sizes, a shoe to throw off dough balls or any foreign substance that would injure the wire-cloth, making it a perfect Machine without any other device than the Machine itself.“We have had Machines running side by side with all the other kinds of Dusters and have always beaten them in quantity and quality of flour, and are ready at any time to put one to a test with any other Machine.“This Machine has a Revolving Cylinder of pure Bristol Brushes and has nothing but the Brush Cylinder to drive, making it run extremely light, requiring less than one-half of one-horse power to drive the largest sized Machines.“There are now over seven hundred of them running, and as far as we know all are giving perfect satisfaction, and we defy any man to show us where one has been superseded by any other Machine; further, we will say that we have put our Machine in place of several other kinds, and have given satisfaction in all cases where others have failed. We find in other Circulars statements that their Machines will make ten per cent. of flour;we say this is exaggerated; we have made five and one-fourth per cent., and say this is more than any other Duster can do with a fair test. We do not make statements that are exaggerated, but only such as we are willing to guarantee.“For cleaning Cracked Wheat, Pearl Barley, and all this class of material, there is no better Machine, and we can give the best of testimonials of their work on this kind of material.”This cut is a sectional view of the Machine showing the entire construction, except the Shoe, which will accompany all of the Machines.

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. Themill 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.Directionsfor using and keeping in order sent with each mill.DiameterofBurrs.PowertoDrive.DiameterofPulley.FaceofPulley.CapacityperHour.RevolutionsperMinute.14 in.1 to 4 horse.9½ in.5½ in.2 to 8 bush.600 to 120016 in.2 to 6 horse.11 in.6½ in.4 to 12 bush.400 to 80018 in.4 to 10 horse.11 in.6½ in.8 to 20 bush.400 to 700CORN 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 areshoveled 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 wheelendwise 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.THE VETERAN.Two-Hole Separating Sheller.For these we have a steady demand at all times of the year, and send them to all parts of the country.They do not operate in the loose rattling way of ordinary Two-Hole Hand Shellers, got up to sell cheap, but work as closely and effectively as any of the most effective Power Shellers; and no hand sheller has been so much relied on for regular business as the Veteran.The frames are made of the best and most thoroughly seasoned hard wood, framed as closely as the joints can be driven together, and are “solid as rock.” The shafts, shelling wheels, boxes, journals, etc., are on the same scale of strength and close fitting.They have the revolving wire cob carrier for separating the cobs from the shelled corn, and when so ordered, they can be fitted with a band wheel for connecting with power, and a feed table, as shown in the cut, thus making a small and convenient power sheller.THE CADET.Single or One-Hole Hand Sheller.It is strong framed: the frame being of the best seasoned hard wood, capped with iron. Has the same character of shelling wheels as the power shellers, bored true and fitted on shafts which are turned full length and held in strong and durable boxes; has a fine adjustment of spout irons and springs.It separates the Cobs from the Shelled Corn, and has a Fan for Cleaning the Grain.WRIGHT’ PEARL HOMINY MILL.Simplicity in Operation—Economy in Power—No Dust—No Dirt—Regular Feed and Discharge.In presenting this Machine to the millers of this country the manufacturers say: “We feel confident that we fill a desideratum long felt in milling circles, that is, a practical horizontal mill, having the prominent features of economy in power, simplicity in operation, cleanliness, and the perfect manner in which it does its work, yielding more hominy from the corn than any other mill in use. The grain needs no soaking or steaming, but can be worked dry as well as when damp. The hominy and feed are separated before leaving the mill, the hominy running out on a shaking screen where the fine is separated from the coarse, leaving it in a perfect condition for market. The feed is depositedon the opposite side. The mechanical construction of this machine is first-class, and its durability and simplicity is unequaled by any other known mill. It is compact; the space it occupies does not exceed two by three feet square. The skill of a practical miller is not required to run it, as any one, however limited their knowledge of machinery may be, can operate it successfully.“Our long experience in the manufacture of hominy and Hominy Mills enables us to say confidently that we can now offer a machinePERFECTLY ADAPTED TO GENERAL MILL USE,And no mill in the country should be without one. We have witnessed the rapidly increasing demand for this excellent and wholesome article of food from comparatively a few to more than ten thousand barrels a year in our own business alone. That Hominy is a healthy and nutritious article of diet no one pretends to deny, as it has been ascertained by chemical analysis and comparison that one pound of Hominy equals five pounds of Potatoes.“This Mill will work fromFOURtoSEVENbushels of corn per hour. One bushel of common corn will make from twenty-eight to thirty pounds of Hominy. Flint corn will produce a greater yield. The offal, or meal, sells rapidly, and brings a price equal to that for ground corn, making a superior feed for hogs, cattle, etc.”We have a Hominy Machine, horizontal cylinder screen, &c., not a continuous feeder, that takes in a charge of one-half bushel at a time, and does first-class work, that we will sell at a less price.

Having had made in Massachusetts expressly to our order and for this particular purpose tools equal to any in the United States for speed and accuracy, we are prepared to furnish and keep ready to ship the supplies under this head.The shafting, gear and pulleys properly proportioned are next in importance to the motive power.1st. Shafting should run perfectly true and be turned to a gauge throughout its entire length.2d. Couplings well fitted and easy to remove.3d. Pulleys symmetrical in proportion and nicely balanced.4th. The bearings should be self-oiling and adjustable, as by settling of the building or other causes their position changes.With all of these items complied with, there will be less trouble and delays as well as a large per cent. of power saved.In our price list we have fixed a price to each pulley, hanger, &c., for the convenience of our customers, and we here will say that in buying our work you do not pay for useless iron, while every part is strong and sufficiently heavy. Those wishing estimates by weight or wishing to purchase by weight, can always be accommodated.Our Pulleysare turned, bored, correctly balanced and key-seated or set-screwed. For table of sizes see price list. All those over 36 inches diameter we are prepared to furnish with wood rims put up in a superior manner, of hard and soft dry timber, turned inside and out, well oiled, painted and balanced. The spiders are after the styleshown in the cut under head of Elevators, &c., (represented as leaning against the Elevator.) The first segment or circle of the wood rim is of hard wood, and is carefully fitted to the iron spider and lug provided to receive the pressure and driving incident to the transmission of the power required. Clamp bolts let partly into the wood are provided to always keep the spider binding in the rim. No pulley rim is liable to get loose on the arms or spider when built by us.Our Shaftingis turned by a special machine made for the purpose, and no variation in size will be noticed. Pulleys, gear or bearings may be placed at any point with a perfect fit.Our Adjustable Hangersavoid all liability of binding; the bearing or boxing-part is free to find its natural bearing; the ball and socket self-oiling pillow-block (Fig. 1, and Post Hanger Fig. 2. See engravings) have the same advantages. All have the improved self-oiling attachment making it necessary to oil but once in three months, and cleaning twice a year.These bearings are adjustable every way as much as required, and not at all liable to heat.
View of Eureka Smutter.Sectional View.(See following page.)This Cut Represents either size Machine driven from the Top when so required.Some of the Reasons why the Eureka Should be used in preference to any other Smut and Separating Machine now offered for Sale:1st. The scourer used in the Eureka is constructed of the best importedcast sheetsteel, manufactured and rolled expressly for this purpose. The scouring is done on an entire smooth surface, and by direct action on the grain, thoroughly scours and polishes the berry without waste, and at the same time retains its scouring qualities until the scouring case is entirely worn out. As the beaters or fan blades of the revolving scouring cylinders are chilled cast-iron, they will last for years without perceptible wear, and when the steel case is worn out by severe friction of the grain, can be replaced at a small expense. All machines are so strongly and permanently built, and the revolving cylinder so perfectly balanced, that they will, with ordinary care, lastfor years, with the small additional expense of renewing the scouring case, once in from three to five or eight years, as the case may be.2d. For its entire reliability in cleaning the worst samples of smutty wheat; the preliminary or first separator is attached to all the No. 0, 1, 2 and 3 Ordinary sizes, which removes smut balls, dust, chaff, chess or cheat, and light and worthless grains, before the wheat goes to the scourer. As the scourer is thoroughly ventilated, supplied by air at the bottom, and discharging the smut and dust loosened from the grain during the process of scouring, through the perforations of the scouring case, and the fan at the same time drawing a strong current of air through the revolving cylinder, there is no possibility of the grain coming in contact with smut and dust during the process of scouring. Most of the so-called close scouring machines that are now being urged upon millers are destitute of this important principle, and hence worthless.3d. The Eureka, so far as we know, is the only machine that has a perfect shoe attachment, and where the machine is the best known is always invariably ordered. It requires little or no attention, being driven by a belt from main shaft of the machine and a spring pitman; it makes no noise, and with the improved double screen, takes out more headings, straw joints, rat filth, corn and oats, than can possibly be taken out with the rolling screen, while the cockle screen takes out cockle, sand, etc., and we earnestly advise all persons ordering the No. 0, 1 or 2 machines, to order the shoe in all cases. It is now very seldom that we have an order for either of the three sized machines above referred to without the shoe, and in nine cases out of ten when machines are so ordered, the shoe is afterwards ordered, thereby causing extra expense and trouble.The last reason we shall give is that this is, in all respects, the best wheat cleaning machine in the world; this to millers is an important consideration, and cannot well be overlooked.In Ordering Smut Machines,First, decide the size or number of machine wanted, and in deciding this, it will be well to remember that the machines will do all claimed for them. If a machine is wanted to clean twenty-five bushels per hour, a No. 1 machine, run to the motion designed for it, will do it much better than a No. 2, and either size machine run to the motion and fed to the full capacity, will do much better work than if run at a less motion and with a less feed. Some have thought that if a No. 3 machine, for instance, will clean one hundred bushels per hour well, that it will clean sixty bushels better. This is a mistake.Warranty.All machines are warranted to be built of the very best material and perfect in all their parts, and any defect in the material or construction will be made good to the purchaser without charge; and further, to give entire satisfaction, when put up and run according to directions attached to all machines.Terms.When the cash is remitted with the order, or within thirty days from date of shipment, a discount of five per cent. will be allowed, or list price at the end of ninety days.

The lower section of the outside case containing the spouts never being removed after once set up in the mill; the shoe can be turned to any position required, by turning the top plate with it which can be done by slacking the tie rods that bind all together.The manufacturers have recently improved their already celebrated and widely-known Machine.

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. Themill 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.Directionsfor using and keeping in order sent with each mill.DiameterofBurrs.PowertoDrive.DiameterofPulley.FaceofPulley.CapacityperHour.RevolutionsperMinute.14 in.1 to 4 horse.9½ in.5½ in.2 to 8 bush.600 to 120016 in.2 to 6 horse.11 in.6½ in.4 to 12 bush.400 to 80018 in.4 to 10 horse.11 in.6½ in.8 to 20 bush.400 to 700CORN 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 areshoveled 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 wheelendwise 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.THE VETERAN.Two-Hole Separating Sheller.For these we have a steady demand at all times of the year, and send them to all parts of the country.They do not operate in the loose rattling way of ordinary Two-Hole Hand Shellers, got up to sell cheap, but work as closely and effectively as any of the most effective Power Shellers; and no hand sheller has been so much relied on for regular business as the Veteran.The frames are made of the best and most thoroughly seasoned hard wood, framed as closely as the joints can be driven together, and are “solid as rock.” The shafts, shelling wheels, boxes, journals, etc., are on the same scale of strength and close fitting.They have the revolving wire cob carrier for separating the cobs from the shelled corn, and when so ordered, they can be fitted with a band wheel for connecting with power, and a feed table, as shown in the cut, thus making a small and convenient power sheller.THE CADET.Single or One-Hole Hand Sheller.It is strong framed: the frame being of the best seasoned hard wood, capped with iron. Has the same character of shelling wheels as the power shellers, bored true and fitted on shafts which are turned full length and held in strong and durable boxes; has a fine adjustment of spout irons and springs.It separates the Cobs from the Shelled Corn, and has a Fan for Cleaning the Grain.WRIGHT’ PEARL HOMINY MILL.Simplicity in Operation—Economy in Power—No Dust—No Dirt—Regular Feed and Discharge.In presenting this Machine to the millers of this country the manufacturers say: “We feel confident that we fill a desideratum long felt in milling circles, that is, a practical horizontal mill, having the prominent features of economy in power, simplicity in operation, cleanliness, and the perfect manner in which it does its work, yielding more hominy from the corn than any other mill in use. The grain needs no soaking or steaming, but can be worked dry as well as when damp. The hominy and feed are separated before leaving the mill, the hominy running out on a shaking screen where the fine is separated from the coarse, leaving it in a perfect condition for market. The feed is depositedon the opposite side. The mechanical construction of this machine is first-class, and its durability and simplicity is unequaled by any other known mill. It is compact; the space it occupies does not exceed two by three feet square. The skill of a practical miller is not required to run it, as any one, however limited their knowledge of machinery may be, can operate it successfully.“Our long experience in the manufacture of hominy and Hominy Mills enables us to say confidently that we can now offer a machinePERFECTLY ADAPTED TO GENERAL MILL USE,And no mill in the country should be without one. We have witnessed the rapidly increasing demand for this excellent and wholesome article of food from comparatively a few to more than ten thousand barrels a year in our own business alone. That Hominy is a healthy and nutritious article of diet no one pretends to deny, as it has been ascertained by chemical analysis and comparison that one pound of Hominy equals five pounds of Potatoes.“This Mill will work fromFOURtoSEVENbushels of corn per hour. One bushel of common corn will make from twenty-eight to thirty pounds of Hominy. Flint corn will produce a greater yield. The offal, or meal, sells rapidly, and brings a price equal to that for ground corn, making a superior feed for hogs, cattle, etc.”We have a Hominy Machine, horizontal cylinder screen, &c., not a continuous feeder, that takes in a charge of one-half bushel at a time, and does first-class work, that we will sell at a less price.

Having had made in Massachusetts expressly to our order and for this particular purpose tools equal to any in the United States for speed and accuracy, we are prepared to furnish and keep ready to ship the supplies under this head.The shafting, gear and pulleys properly proportioned are next in importance to the motive power.1st. Shafting should run perfectly true and be turned to a gauge throughout its entire length.2d. Couplings well fitted and easy to remove.3d. Pulleys symmetrical in proportion and nicely balanced.4th. The bearings should be self-oiling and adjustable, as by settling of the building or other causes their position changes.With all of these items complied with, there will be less trouble and delays as well as a large per cent. of power saved.In our price list we have fixed a price to each pulley, hanger, &c., for the convenience of our customers, and we here will say that in buying our work you do not pay for useless iron, while every part is strong and sufficiently heavy. Those wishing estimates by weight or wishing to purchase by weight, can always be accommodated.Our Pulleysare turned, bored, correctly balanced and key-seated or set-screwed. For table of sizes see price list. All those over 36 inches diameter we are prepared to furnish with wood rims put up in a superior manner, of hard and soft dry timber, turned inside and out, well oiled, painted and balanced. The spiders are after the styleshown in the cut under head of Elevators, &c., (represented as leaning against the Elevator.) The first segment or circle of the wood rim is of hard wood, and is carefully fitted to the iron spider and lug provided to receive the pressure and driving incident to the transmission of the power required. Clamp bolts let partly into the wood are provided to always keep the spider binding in the rim. No pulley rim is liable to get loose on the arms or spider when built by us.Our Shaftingis turned by a special machine made for the purpose, and no variation in size will be noticed. Pulleys, gear or bearings may be placed at any point with a perfect fit.Our Adjustable Hangersavoid all liability of binding; the bearing or boxing-part is free to find its natural bearing; the ball and socket self-oiling pillow-block (Fig. 1, and Post Hanger Fig. 2. See engravings) have the same advantages. All have the improved self-oiling attachment making it necessary to oil but once in three months, and cleaning twice a year.These bearings are adjustable every way as much as required, and not at all liable to heat.

Some of the Reasons why the Eureka Should be used in preference to any other Smut and Separating Machine now offered for Sale:
1st. The scourer used in the Eureka is constructed of the best importedcast sheetsteel, manufactured and rolled expressly for this purpose. The scouring is done on an entire smooth surface, and by direct action on the grain, thoroughly scours and polishes the berry without waste, and at the same time retains its scouring qualities until the scouring case is entirely worn out. As the beaters or fan blades of the revolving scouring cylinders are chilled cast-iron, they will last for years without perceptible wear, and when the steel case is worn out by severe friction of the grain, can be replaced at a small expense. All machines are so strongly and permanently built, and the revolving cylinder so perfectly balanced, that they will, with ordinary care, lastfor years, with the small additional expense of renewing the scouring case, once in from three to five or eight years, as the case may be.
2d. For its entire reliability in cleaning the worst samples of smutty wheat; the preliminary or first separator is attached to all the No. 0, 1, 2 and 3 Ordinary sizes, which removes smut balls, dust, chaff, chess or cheat, and light and worthless grains, before the wheat goes to the scourer. As the scourer is thoroughly ventilated, supplied by air at the bottom, and discharging the smut and dust loosened from the grain during the process of scouring, through the perforations of the scouring case, and the fan at the same time drawing a strong current of air through the revolving cylinder, there is no possibility of the grain coming in contact with smut and dust during the process of scouring. Most of the so-called close scouring machines that are now being urged upon millers are destitute of this important principle, and hence worthless.
3d. The Eureka, so far as we know, is the only machine that has a perfect shoe attachment, and where the machine is the best known is always invariably ordered. It requires little or no attention, being driven by a belt from main shaft of the machine and a spring pitman; it makes no noise, and with the improved double screen, takes out more headings, straw joints, rat filth, corn and oats, than can possibly be taken out with the rolling screen, while the cockle screen takes out cockle, sand, etc., and we earnestly advise all persons ordering the No. 0, 1 or 2 machines, to order the shoe in all cases. It is now very seldom that we have an order for either of the three sized machines above referred to without the shoe, and in nine cases out of ten when machines are so ordered, the shoe is afterwards ordered, thereby causing extra expense and trouble.
The last reason we shall give is that this is, in all respects, the best wheat cleaning machine in the world; this to millers is an important consideration, and cannot well be overlooked.
First, decide the size or number of machine wanted, and in deciding this, it will be well to remember that the machines will do all claimed for them. If a machine is wanted to clean twenty-five bushels per hour, a No. 1 machine, run to the motion designed for it, will do it much better than a No. 2, and either size machine run to the motion and fed to the full capacity, will do much better work than if run at a less motion and with a less feed. Some have thought that if a No. 3 machine, for instance, will clean one hundred bushels per hour well, that it will clean sixty bushels better. This is a mistake.
All machines are warranted to be built of the very best material and perfect in all their parts, and any defect in the material or construction will be made good to the purchaser without charge; and further, to give entire satisfaction, when put up and run according to directions attached to all machines.
When the cash is remitted with the order, or within thirty days from date of shipment, a discount of five per cent. will be allowed, or list price at the end of ninety days. If longer time is required, approved notes on interest after ninety days from date of shipment, payable in bank, will be required.
Patented April 9, 1861; Re-issued, April 19, 1871.
This Machine is named “Dustless Separator,” because theDustis separated from the wheat, conveyed out of the mill, and deposited in a dust room, before the grain passes to the riddles; the wheat and screenings are left free from dust.
Its operation is as follows:—The grain enters the Machine at the hopper, which is shown, where it receives thefirstblast; then passes through two to four wheat riddles in succession, and over a cockle riddle into thesecondblast. The riddles deposit oats, sticks, weeds, ergot, rat-balls, etc., in suitable spouts; the heavy screenings fall into a hopper and are spouted off. This Machine has none butsuction blasts, and is offered to the milling community as afirst-class Separator.

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. Themill 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.

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.
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 areshoveled 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 wheelendwise 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.

Two-Hole Separating Sheller.
For these we have a steady demand at all times of the year, and send them to all parts of the country.
They do not operate in the loose rattling way of ordinary Two-Hole Hand Shellers, got up to sell cheap, but work as closely and effectively as any of the most effective Power Shellers; and no hand sheller has been so much relied on for regular business as the Veteran.
The frames are made of the best and most thoroughly seasoned hard wood, framed as closely as the joints can be driven together, and are “solid as rock.” The shafts, shelling wheels, boxes, journals, etc., are on the same scale of strength and close fitting.
They have the revolving wire cob carrier for separating the cobs from the shelled corn, and when so ordered, they can be fitted with a band wheel for connecting with power, and a feed table, as shown in the cut, thus making a small and convenient power sheller.

It is strong framed: the frame being of the best seasoned hard wood, capped with iron. Has the same character of shelling wheels as the power shellers, bored true and fitted on shafts which are turned full length and held in strong and durable boxes; has a fine adjustment of spout irons and springs.
It separates the Cobs from the Shelled Corn, and has a Fan for Cleaning the Grain.
Simplicity in Operation—Economy in Power—No Dust—No Dirt—Regular Feed and Discharge.
In presenting this Machine to the millers of this country the manufacturers say: “We feel confident that we fill a desideratum long felt in milling circles, that is, a practical horizontal mill, having the prominent features of economy in power, simplicity in operation, cleanliness, and the perfect manner in which it does its work, yielding more hominy from the corn than any other mill in use. The grain needs no soaking or steaming, but can be worked dry as well as when damp. The hominy and feed are separated before leaving the mill, the hominy running out on a shaking screen where the fine is separated from the coarse, leaving it in a perfect condition for market. The feed is depositedon the opposite side. The mechanical construction of this machine is first-class, and its durability and simplicity is unequaled by any other known mill. It is compact; the space it occupies does not exceed two by three feet square. The skill of a practical miller is not required to run it, as any one, however limited their knowledge of machinery may be, can operate it successfully.
“Our long experience in the manufacture of hominy and Hominy Mills enables us to say confidently that we can now offer a machine
PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO GENERAL MILL USE,
And no mill in the country should be without one. We have witnessed the rapidly increasing demand for this excellent and wholesome article of food from comparatively a few to more than ten thousand barrels a year in our own business alone. That Hominy is a healthy and nutritious article of diet no one pretends to deny, as it has been ascertained by chemical analysis and comparison that one pound of Hominy equals five pounds of Potatoes.
“This Mill will work fromFOURtoSEVENbushels of corn per hour. One bushel of common corn will make from twenty-eight to thirty pounds of Hominy. Flint corn will produce a greater yield. The offal, or meal, sells rapidly, and brings a price equal to that for ground corn, making a superior feed for hogs, cattle, etc.”
We have a Hominy Machine, horizontal cylinder screen, &c., not a continuous feeder, that takes in a charge of one-half bushel at a time, and does first-class work, that we will sell at a less price. See price list.

Has proved a great success. We have introduced it into some of the largest Elevators and Mills in the country, and it is universally pronounced a great improvement on the old style of beam.No weights are used, as the weighing is done exclusively with the poises.
The three upper beams register respectively, wheat, corn and oats, giving the bushels and pounds on each beam; hence all computation of figures, and liability to mistakes are avoided.
It is composed of three beautifully polished brass beams, and brass poises respectively marked corn, wheat and oats.
Note.—“Dormant Scales” are those with platforms made to let in even with the floor; have given most all of the sizes we are prepared to furnish. We try to keep ready for shipment most any style and price of Scale wanted. Our price list gives dimensions, prices, &c.
Multiply the length by the breadth, in inches, and this product by one-third of the depth, measuring to the point.
Divide the last product by 2,150 (the number of cubic inches in a bushel) and the quotient thus obtained will be the contents of the hopper in bushels.
The contents of a bin or box with perpendicular sides is found by multiplying the length by the breadth, in inches, and this product by the depth, and divide as above, will give the number of bushel measurement.
Usual Weight per Bushel of Articles of Produce.
In measuring vegetables, coal, etc., the measure requires to be heaped, and adds about one-fourth to the number of cubic inches.
Couplings and Adjustable Self-Oiling Hangers and Boxing.
This important branch is one of our specialties. Having had made in Massachusetts expressly to our order and for this particular purpose tools equal to any in the United States for speed and accuracy, we are prepared to furnish and keep ready to ship the supplies under this head.
The shafting, gear and pulleys properly proportioned are next in importance to the motive power.
1st. Shafting should run perfectly true and be turned to a gauge throughout its entire length.
2d. Couplings well fitted and easy to remove.
3d. Pulleys symmetrical in proportion and nicely balanced.
4th. The bearings should be self-oiling and adjustable, as by settling of the building or other causes their position changes.
With all of these items complied with, there will be less trouble and delays as well as a large per cent. of power saved.
In our price list we have fixed a price to each pulley, hanger, &c., for the convenience of our customers, and we here will say that in buying our work you do not pay for useless iron, while every part is strong and sufficiently heavy. Those wishing estimates by weight or wishing to purchase by weight, can always be accommodated.
Our Pulleysare turned, bored, correctly balanced and key-seated or set-screwed. For table of sizes see price list. All those over 36 inches diameter we are prepared to furnish with wood rims put up in a superior manner, of hard and soft dry timber, turned inside and out, well oiled, painted and balanced. The spiders are after the styleshown in the cut under head of Elevators, &c., (represented as leaning against the Elevator.) The first segment or circle of the wood rim is of hard wood, and is carefully fitted to the iron spider and lug provided to receive the pressure and driving incident to the transmission of the power required. Clamp bolts let partly into the wood are provided to always keep the spider binding in the rim. No pulley rim is liable to get loose on the arms or spider when built by us.
Our Shaftingis turned by a special machine made for the purpose, and no variation in size will be noticed. Pulleys, gear or bearings may be placed at any point with a perfect fit.
Our Adjustable Hangersavoid all liability of binding; the bearing or boxing-part is free to find its natural bearing; the ball and socket self-oiling pillow-block (Fig. 1, and Post Hanger Fig. 2. See engravings) have the same advantages. All have the improved self-oiling attachment making it necessary to oil but once in three months, and cleaning twice a year.
These bearings are adjustable every way as much as required, and not at all liable to heat.
