farmer, because it is desirable that not only the graia from which hi» bread is made is wwader ed pure from all foreign substances and fcuU seeds, but that his seed grain and grass se^d should idso be freed from like substances. A good article of grain always commands a better price in market than that which is impure, "f This machine separates the grain or Seed ac- 5*"" cording to Us specific gravity—and is unerring in this respect—-the heaviest grain or seed is the purest of its kind and by passing the same through this machine, the cheat, shrunken, grown or smut grain or seed is removed, and the perfectly pure of its kind is obtained.

It will be fouud indispensable to the miller... because, iu order to make the best quality of flour.be must have his grain pure and clean, which can be done to admiration by the use of this machiue he may dispense with his screen entirely, for the machine screens the grain perfectly, casting out all stones and nails, aud is self regulating.

Tho fanner's machine works by hand the miller's by machinery, driven by less than half a-horse power. It is durable, not easily got out of repair, occupies but little space, ia very portable, and may be made of auy desired ca-' pacitv, to clear froni 50 to BOO bushels wheat or otfier grain per hour.

They are admirably adapted for cleaning i.grain, corn, Ac., in large elevators, where it necessary to clean from oue to five hundred bushels per hour.

The machine soon pays for itself, both for farmer aud miller, iu separating allimpu-,^s rities, sucli as oats, chess, spelt, grown wheat, smut balls, and a thousand other impurities to be found in wheat,T^hich is now ground and mixed with our bK'iid. and sowed with the farmer's seed wheat. It is equally adapted to all kinds of grain, chaffing, fcc., Ac.

For inillliig purposes it is very desirable, and especially those about to build, Wdifld do well to Become acquainted with it, as.lt does away .with the rolling screen which is very wasteful, and does not clean the grain. The m,tin feature in tho invention, besides Its simplicity, is the separating rill kinds tff grain, wiih the impurities in parcels, according to the specific gravity of each. It has long been a question with the farmer, whether chess grows from wheat, or wheat from chess it cafi now be ascertained, and tho inventor will give five dollars for every kernel of chess that can be procured from wheat when cleaned by this machine,or will koufkjt onetuoi'-sasd dollars upon trial for a better muchine for cleaning grain, taking into consideration size, power ruquired, simplicity, durability, time, Ac..
