THE OWENS' FANNING MILLS. 



WE INTRODUCED this Fanning Mill last year feeling confident 

 that we had at last secvired a machine that would lake cockle 

 from wheat and all other gi-ains! separate mustard and all foul 

 seeds from flax, etc. It also c'eans Oats, Barley, Peas, Beans, Clover, 



Timothy, Millet, alfalfa 

 and cheat out of wheat. 



Never before ha^'e 

 the sales for Fanning 

 Mills been so great In 

 any one year in the 

 history of the business. 

 The reason is obvious; 

 it has been considered 

 impossible to effectu- 

 all y separate cockle and 

 other foreign seeds 

 from wheat, and the 

 farmer has been satis- 

 fled with the old styles, 

 which clean grain well 

 enough for flour. These 

 mills actually do all 

 that is claimed for 

 them by the manufac- 

 turers. It is no longer 

 considered an experi- 

 ment but an established 

 fact. You need only 

 read our testimonials 

 given on this page to 

 become convinced, the 

 signatures of those tes- 

 tifying carry convic- 

 tion. The reports of 

 our sales through 

 Pennsylvania and Delaware, ad well as Maryland, have been of the most 

 flattering character. 



We furnish the Owens' Automatic Force Feeder with all mills. All 

 of these Mills are end shake with the exception of No. 20, which is 

 Side Shake. ^ ^ ^. , 



It will be noticed that in all other mills they depend entnely upon 

 blast to clean the prain. While we have an equal amount of blast, we 

 also have, in addition to it, a Cockle Separator, which removes all foul 

 seeds perfectly. The Cockle Separator is constructed in such a manner 

 as to allow the grain to pass over an inclined stationary sieve of proper 

 mesh, the grain being kept in a horizontal direction by means of slats 

 on a revok ing canvas. By having the screen stationary, we are enabled 

 to use a sie^ e of much coarser mesh than can be used in other mills, 

 and for this reason we are able to remove large foul seed from the small 

 wheat. As can readily he seen, the grain is constantly kept parallel 

 with the slats and a revolving motion imparted to it, so that all of the 

 grain is brought in contact with the screen, and all foul seeds smaller 

 than a kernel of wheat lengthways will fall through the screen, while 

 the clean grain passes over and falls in front of the mill. By the same 

 means the screen is kept constantly clean. 



No. 3 FARM MILL. 



Capacity, 30 to 40 bushels per hour. This Mill separates all foul seeds 

 from wheat, oats and barley, especially mustard. Will also clean flax
