B. F. RAKDELL’S 
Grain Separator, 
CLEANER AMD GRADER. 
T HE ATTENTION o{ the Farmers is respectfully called. 
to B. I. Randell s justly celebrated Improved Fanning 
Mill, Seed Cleaner, Grain Separator and Grader combined 
a recent invention which lias attracted very marked atten¬ 
tion throughout the Central and Western States, where it 
has been iutioduced, and which is now beintr manufactured 
for the Eastern States, at Auburn, N. Y., and iiarrisbure 
Pa., as below. * 
Until the invention of the “Randell Grain Separator” all 
machines lor cleaning grain known as “ Separators,” have 
been at the best mere seed cleaners, too expensive for 
general use and altogether too slow, complicated and im¬ 
practicable tor the general purposes of a fanning mill, 
therefore, lor the information of those who are looking for 
something cheap, rapid and practicable, the undersigned. 
respectfully submit the following extracts from testimonials 
of farmers and grain men to the merits of the Randell Im¬ 
proved Seed and Grain Cleaner or Separator and Grader. 
From the Well-known Farmer, Alfred Hals, 
of Lyons, N. Y. 
“This 2(ith day of May, I tested the Randell Separator 
in my Granary, and it proved to have important advantages 
over the present Fanning Mills; so much so that I gave my 
order for one, notwithstanding I have at this time two of the 
other mills. ALFRED HALE.” 
"It Is the only real Separator, Cleaner and 
Grader in the United States. 
“ It works upon the principle of GHAVITY, an entirely 
NEW PRINCIPLE in grading grain, which gives the farmer 
perfect control of Cleaning, Separating or Grading his grain, 
and works to perfection. 
JOHN HOFFER, Paxton Mills, Harrisburg, Pa.” 
From Farmer Murdock, Auburn, N.Y'. 
“The Randell Separator is the first and only machine I 
ever saw that could separate Oats from Ba rley, or Spring- 
Wheat, with any kind.of expedition. It is not a mere fan¬ 
ning mill, nor a mere seed separator for cleaning Timothy 
or Clover, or fitting grain for seed, hut both, combining the 
rapidity of the fanning mill with the perfection of a separa¬ 
tor. A. R. MURDOCK.” 
“The Randell Separator is constructed upon an entirely 
new principle of taking advantage of gravity, whereby the 
farmer is enabled to separate Oats from Wheat or Barley 
rapidly for market, and at the same time get a grade of the 
soundest and heaviest kernels, pure of Oats and Cockle for 
seed. ORLANDO LEWIS, Stone Mills. 
NEY1IART & CO., Empire Mills. 
SERVIS & CO., Premium Mills.” 
Some time during this season each grain county will he 
canvassed by competent salesmen, who will exhibit the 
working of the machine and take orders for next fail's de¬ 
livery. To avoid any mistake, remember the name of B. F. 
Randell will always appear on the drum of liis “Separator.”' 
ZW Be sure and read editorial in the Country' Gentle¬ 
man of May 13th. 
Agents wanted tor all the counties in the State. Price $36 
delivered on cars, and liberal discounts to agents. 
We think it but the strictest justice to y’ourseltes, that 
we ask you to withhold your purchase of other mills, till 
after you have first seen and tested for yourselves this 
wonderfully Rapid, Simple and Complete Machine.
