EAGLE FAN MILL. 
T he best and cheapest grain 
AND SEED SEPARATOR EVER OFFERED 
IN THIS MARKET. 
The superiority of this Fan consists 
First—In cleaning without a screen, by separating the impu¬ 
rities, such as chess, cockle, smut, &c.. by the blast alone, con¬ 
sequently savins the loss of the small sound kernels of wheat 
which must go through a screen. 
Second—An arrangement by which a part of the sound and 
perfect grains are separated from the rest for seeding, leaving 
the balance in a good marketable condition, so that the 
farmer need sow only such grain as contains the germ of 
growth. 
Third—Smaller seed, such as grass and clover seed, are 
cleaued in the most perfect manner. 
Fourth—Fans built on this plan will clean grain, both in the 
first and second cleaning, faster and better than any others now 
in use. 
Fifth—The cheapness and durability of its construction.
