FFEEEIMAIS would call yonr attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combinea all the advantages of the various Milla now m nse, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments : — Fikst.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar eize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. {SECOND. — The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap- hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ln the mattercf fastening the drum ha head to the posts bj meanß of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increase** strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering tho slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons ue of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and ehake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, ont of the way. The bearing is formed by the hnb of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m uae. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner aB to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side epout delivers the No 1 £rain 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; Ths wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one as they are invaluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made ior impurities and foul Btuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the coat incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Eeeris, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a " Bacine Mill." You don't want ft better record than it has. Eead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; he was highly pleased -with the job they made. — William Blaf c, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVEB SAW ITS EQJAL. I have only used the " Eacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oate, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped io work a good many. — WitLtAH Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMBNTAEY. I am very much pleased with it,—J'OHP Oaiikron, Swift Creek, Eelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHABACTEB. I have given the " Eacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every Ba^iatac- t ; on. I consider it * first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works Bmoothly , and will, I think, prov« durable. It iB much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever Been. — F. W* Mackenzie (the Captain), Ponsahaka. . BEBT MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats ; and turnip j seed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it iB 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 seeds.— William Littlbjohn, Waiwera WOULD JXOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Bacine Fanners te do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should.— David Mackenzie), Waiwera.
