CAUTION. 



The subscribers. Patentees of Wheelers Patent Horse Powers. 

 having noticed that an Agricultural Firm is advertising that 

 Wheeler's Patent Horse Powers and Overshot Threshers are man- 

 ufactured and sold by them, when in fact they have not obtained 

 from us any liberty to use our Patent, we hereby caution all per- 

 sons that said firm has no right to use our Patent, or to manu- 

 facture or bell said Horse Powers, and that a sale by them will con- 

 fer no right upon the Purchaser to use such Power. 



Messrs. WHEELER, MELICK & CO., of Albany, and their 

 Agents, are the only persons authorized to make or sell Wheeler'' s 

 Patent Horse Powers ; and every such Power made or sold by

 the Cast Iron Semi-Circles at each end of the Power, the words 

 " Whekler's Patent— Wheeler, Melick & Co., Makers, Alda- 

 KV, N. Y." 



A due attention to this fact will enable purchasers to avoid im- 

 position and fraud.

 authorized to make or sell said Horse Powers.

IMPORTANT TO MILLERS. ' 

 TUe American Miller and MQl-Wrlglit's Assistant. 



THIS is the most valuable book for practical Millers and Mill- 

 wrights, extant. It is a new work recently published by 

 Wm. C. Hughes, who is himself a practical Miller, and has spent 

 the best portion of his life in the business of constructing, plan- 

 ning, and managing of Flouring Mills and the manufacture of 

 flour. In preparing this work for the Milling public his object 

 has been to establish a correct guide to the bn,sines3, instead of 

 speculative theories. Special regard has been paid to most of the 

 essential improvements which have of late been introduced for 

 the benefit of the Miller. 



A few of the important subjects treated of and here given, taken 

 from the contents of the work, are 



Water power calculated for all heads; The size of tha wheels for 

 all heads, with the amount of water necessary to use on the same; 

 The entire science of dressing the Mill Stone, with a practical 

 treatise on Grinding ; Remarks on the Culture of Grain ; Stc; 

 Table of Grain grown in the United States; Explanation of Tech- 

 nical terms used in Milling; The Quality of French Burr, as best 

 adapted for grinding Wheat and Com; The proper size of Mill 

 Picks for dressing Stones; Composition for Tempering Cast-steel 

 Mill Picks; The amount of Help necessary to be employed in a 

 Mill of four run of Stones, with their dutie respectively; Remarks 

 on Packing Flour; Table for Packing Flour; &c., &c. 



No .Miller or .Mill-wright should be without the Book, as the price 

 is nothing in comparison to the value of the information it con- 

 tains. The following Millers in Michigan, having examined the 

 work fully approve of and recomend it to public notice ; 



Mathews & Beach, Pontiac; 

 R W Lawson, Mt. Vernon Mills, 

 E R Brookfield, Volant " 



J W Fenner. .Mt. Pleasant " 

 W W Eddy, Sturger's Prairie " 

 L Dow Crippen, Cold Water " 



D P Bonnell, Tecumseth Mills; 

 Charles W Chapel, Utica " 

 E Brakham, Rochester City " 

 E Carpenter, Pontiac 

 J W Hughtlin, Charleston ■' 

 J Cupit, Stony Creek 



A long list of others might be given, but it is thought unneces- 

 sary. 



Mr. Hughes has recently been appointed Flour Inspector at 

 Buffalo, a very important post, showing the confidence the Millers 

 and Shippers have of his ability. 



The book is 12mo. size, and done up in good strong binding. 

 Price, $1.50, at retail. {t(7- Any person sending me three dollars 

 by mail, and paying postage, shall havs two copies sent him, done
