are fet, the finer they will grind, and the farther 
apart the coarfer, but then they’ll make the 
quicker Difpatch ; but for mellow Fruit it is 
not material that they are finely ground. You 
muft, adds he, be fure to keep the Mill con-* 
ftantly fed by Hand, and not overcharged, led: 
it choak, and quickly tire the Grinder. But 
where a wooden Mill is intended for making 
great Quantities of Cyder, it may be made with 
longer Planks, and double Rolls, and with two 
Handles, for imploying two Men to turn it at 
a Time. 
Of the Stone Cyder-Mill ; by my Devonlhire 
Correfpondent .« — This Stone-Mill ( fays he ) is 
made very near in the fame Manner as thofe 
the Tanners ufe for grinding their Bark, and 
about the fame Size, by which a Pony Horfe 
will eafily grind fix Hogfheads, or two Tuns in 
a Day, and is a very good Sort of Mill where 
much Cyder is to be made. Some Perfons, 
(fays he) for Want of Experience and Judg- 
ment, reckon, that as the Stone-Mill breaks the 
Pippins and Stones of the Apples, it gives the 
Cyder an ill Tafte; but I have proved it to the 
contrary, that it no ways injures the Cyder; 
and as I always ufed the large Stone-Mill, I 
muft be a Judge of it; therefore I do verily be- 
lieve it rather gives the Cyder a wholefome, plea- 
fant, little bitterifti Tafte; however, as I am 
acquainted with both Sorts of Mills, I muft fay, 
they break the Apples lb fine, that no fmaii 
Pieces remain unbroke, or at leaft but very few.
