THE FARMERS' FKIEN» 4 CLEAN YOUR GRAIN AND GRASS SEED. THE ACME MILL, PRICE £7 10s. WE respectfully invite the attention off , Farmers and Agriculturists to the advantages of the Acme Fanning Mill for cleaning all kinds of grain, grass, and clover seed. Everyone who has suffered from the excessive deductions exacted by dealers for imperfectly cleaned seed will be able to appreciate the leading features of the " Acme " No. 1, which whilst so light that a child can operate it, has a cleaning capacity of 60 to 90 bushels per hour; and costs only £7 10s, free on rail or steamer. The "Acme" No. 2 ;Farm Mill, with 30in sieve and a cleaning capacity of 100 to 125 bushek per hour, is equally light in use, and for perfect utility and thoroughness of work has no equal amongst Mills at a much higher price. ACME FARM MILL. . We respectfully call attention to the Improved Acme Farm Fanning Mills, which not only combine all the advantages of the various Mills now in use, but also have the following very important and greatly needed improvements: — First. — Their largely increased capacity over other Mills in cleaning all kinds of grain and seeds. Second. — The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Third. — The manner in which the drum or head is fastened to the posts by means of a castiron half-circle, and ■ secured to the posts by screws (instead of cleats morticed into, posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. , Fourth.— The great advantage of a SCREW to raise or lower the slide of the Hopper with ease, in regulating the feed. 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 in 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 and grass seed, we guarantee this Mill to be equal to, and in fact superior, in all respects, to any other now in use. The fan and wind boards are so arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle in suoh a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout 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 asto separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain: The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle, chess, or cheat frem Mo. 1 and No. 2 wheat.

ACME WAREHOUSE MILL. The Warehouse Mills aie constructed on the same principle as the Farm, only made much larger, he&wer, andsfcionger in every way, and can be run by power asweM as by hand. They are madeeut of selected and thoroughly seasoned lumber (kiln-dried). All the irons are of the most approved patterns. ■ The shoe is worked by eccentrics and heavy shake rods, connected with elbows by bolts on BOTH SIDES of Mill, thus ' making a doable protection, as either will run the Mill. The bearings, boxes, and the irons are fastened on with carriage bolts. They are built as atoeng and ace as datable and as neatly finished as the most skilled workmanship can make them. They are extensively used in the United States by all the leading Millers, Elevator Men, Grain and Seed Dealers, who highly recommend them as being "THE BEST " in the market for cleaning and' separating Wheat, Oats, Barley, Com, Peas, Beans, Bice, Flax, Millet, Timothy, Clever, and other Seeds and Grains. Our large and increasing export trade also speaks in the highest terms of the supc riarity of these Mills over all others. Each Mill ib provided with 6in tight and loose pulleys, but we can kumishany size required. PRICE AND SIZE OF MILLS.
