Practical Farmers; have pronounced It th , Best—read TESTIMONIAL below. '■ While it Ins c&fccily to. CJian rcm CO t 90 buehela per honr, i ; No. i FARM MILL h Is 2ft Bin ever oil, and is furniehed with on », Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grade with side spout, cno Barley Sieve, and one Oa Bievo. Sieves for other purposes furnishci and charged for as extras. F. FERRIMAN, FFEBKIMAN would will your atten • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, w lricli combines nil the advantages of the various Mills now m uso, and also the following important and greatly noeded Improve' mentis: — FmsT.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar size, thoreby increasing the cleaning capacity to a larga extent. tEQOND.— The improved plan cf hanging the Eh 03 npon strong Etrap'hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. ' Thiiid. — In tho matter of fastening tho drum or head to the posts by means cf a cast- iron half circle, and secured to tho posts by Bcrews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posis ard held k "^ wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv. ability to the Mill. FcTjuth.— l fib great ay 'nntage of easily rasing or lowering the slide . <lhs Hopper by means of a screw. , Thje irons aro of the most approved paltirn, 1 the wheel, pinion, and Ehake irons being extra strong. The geariD gia all placed on tho inside of the Mill, out of the. way, Thebaaringia formed by the hub of the large wheel running ia a thimble or box, three inches loner, of Chilled Iron, and extending through the poats, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kindß of grain, we Guarantee thiß Mill to b 3 equal to, nnd m fact supoiior, m all respects, to cny now m me. The fan wit a wind boards are so arranged that the wind sti ikes the hurdle m Ench a manner as to blow all foul stiff and light grain Over tho hurdle. The side Bpout delivers the No.l grain at the side, and the No 2 giain at the front of tho Mill. The grader c&n be co ad j usted as to separate and deliver thrcngh the side spout a jrrc&ter or less portion of the best grain. Tho wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should bo 'withont one as they are invaluable, to all \*ho -wish to market their seed m. gcod condition, and thus cave the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also tho extra freight charges and ccs: of cleaning. They nlso cave time, and by the thorough and complete work which can bo accomplished with them, Boon repay tho cost incurred m their purchase. To Fance s raiting large quantiiis of Grain, cr Feeds, we vouldrecpm.ll.end ths Ko 2 Warehouse .Mill, as specially adapted /or their vse, as the great faying of timo will comper.eate for the diflloreaos m the fiist cost. They ccn bs xt>n by tand as easily as a Farm fc ize, although constructed much heavier, and made mere durable; ...; **. ■ Be glided by tho experience of cthotß and order a "KacineMill." YoudoJcwaitabsttor iecord than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB, I put some bags cf wheat thiongh last spring , tiny mado a sp'endid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat: he was highly ilcasrd with the job. they cade. — Wilmasi Blakib, Eillfco^ Waiwcra. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL: I have only used the " Hacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, tnd grasßßeed. It has given me great Batisf action. I have never seen its equal for gradirg wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a good many. —William BnoOK, Church Hill, W-iwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOES Jamebon, biwiffc Creek, Kelso. CODLD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I havo giventhe -'Rcciue" Warehooß? Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satisfac- tion. 1 consider it; a fusfc-rate artijle. It cleans ard grades grain rapidly and well, is Btrong, works emoothly, and will, I think, prova durable. It is much superior to my other machine of the kind I havo ever seen.— F. W Mackdkzih (tho Captain), Pomahuka. BEfcT MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. 1 have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently ssy that is is all th it it claims to bo. In fact, it is a Jong way tho best machme of tho kind I have ever sron. With a larger aESortmont of riddles, I bslisve it will drcs3 m a tupcrior manner any kind of eeedt,.— William LittlfjuHN, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the "Bacine" Fannerß to do their work well, ana with cxtiemo facfiby. I would not by any meanE liko to want one now. and I think no farme. ehould.— Dav;3 Mackenzie, Waiwera.
