EACINE FAN.FAEM MILL. THE TESTED FARM MILL. The Cheapest and Beat Fan Mill m the Marketi No Farmer valuing Clean Seed can afford to go without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers hare pronounced it the Best-read TESTIMONIAL below. "While it has capacity to Glenn rom 60 to 90 bushels per hoar. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with one Wheat Hnrdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with Bide spout, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extra,. mjaXAJB% FFERRIMAN would call your atten- • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the following important and greatly needed Improve- ments : — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of Bimilar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Beoond. — The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Third.— ln the matter of fastening the drum or head to the posts by means of a cast- iron half circle, and secured to the poßte by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held „ - wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv sbility to the Mill. Fourth. — Tha great au --antage of easily raißing or lowering the elide c *i-ha Hopper by meanß of a screw. The irons are of the most approved pattern, the wheel , pinion, and shake irons being extra strong. The gearing is all placed on the inside of the Mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel running m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron, and extending through the poßts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee this Mill to be equal to, and m fact Bnpeiior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light strain over the hurdle. The side Bpout delivers the No 1 grain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain. The wheat screens and grader are bo arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without one aB they are invaluable to all who w^iah to market thei* Beed m good condition, arid thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also Bave time, and by the thorough and complete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmeiß raising large quantities of Grain, or Seeds, we would recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, aa specially adapted for their use, ito the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be *un by hand aB easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable; ,_ ( .- Be g aided by the experience 6f others and order a "Racine" Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MA.DE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring , they made a splendid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat : he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blakib, Eillfoot, Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL: I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for .dressing oats, wheat, and grass Beed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have Been and helped to work a good many. — Wilmam Brook, Church Hill, W&iwexa. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it.— JOHlf Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every eatiflf ac- ticta. X censider it a fiist-rate article. It cleans atd grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will,! think, prove durable. It is much superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — P. W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahuka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind of eeedb.— William Littlejuhn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine " Fanners to do their work well, ana with , extreme facility.
