Til FBRRIMAN would cnll yonr attention JD c to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combined all tho advantages of tho various Mills now m use, and also tbe follow- ing importaut and greatly needed Improve- ments : — FIKBT. — In the width of the Mill, it being wider tbah most Farm Mills of similar Bize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to 6 large extent. Bkoond.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong Btrap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matterr f faatening the drum ha head to the po&ts bj means of a caatiron lorf circle, &nd BPeured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleata morticed into poate and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Foubth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the elide m the Hopper meanß of a screw. The irons uo of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shako irona being strong. The gearing ib all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing 1b formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a t nimble 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 UHe. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdlo. The side spont 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 epont a greater or less portion of tho best grain; The wheat screens and grader are bo arranged db to effectually take out c.ckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one as they are m valuable to all who wißh to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor impurities and foul stuff, and also tho extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by tho thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, coon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Eeeifl, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mil), as specially adapted for their usb, as tbe great saving of timo will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be ran )>y hand as easily aa a Farm Bize, although constructed much heavier, nnd made more du r able. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Racine Mill." You d.jn't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A BPLIiNDID JOB. I put some baR3 of wheat through last Bpring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; ho was highly pleased with tho job they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. I havo only used tho ll Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and gross eeed. It has given me great satisfaction.

I consider it - first-rate article. It elans and grades grain rapidly and well, is Btron k, works smoothly , and will, 1 think, prove durable. It is much Superior to any othei machine of the kiud I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Ponsahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip peed I can confidently Bay 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 , Eoeds— William Littlujohn, Waiwera WOULD I*OT LIKK TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BROULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and witlv extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no f armor should. — David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
