This catalogue will be found many times serviceable for reference and other uses. We suggest that you preserve it, and hang it where it will be readily and quickly accessible. When mutilated or badly soiled advise us and we will supply you with another. WARRANTY. We warrant all our machines to be built of the very best material, and to be perfect in all their parts, and any defect in the material or construction, will be made good to the purchaser without charge ; and, further, we warrant all our machines to give entire satisfaction, when put up and run according to directions attached to all machines. TERMS. The discounts on Smut and Brush machines, Milling, Warehouse, Receiving, Elevator and Screenings Separators are 15 per cent, from list, with a further discount of 10 per cent, on the net amount; that is, on the amount 15 per cent, is deducted, if cash is paid in thirty days from shipment. We must request parties with whom we have had no previous business relations to furnish evidence of responsibility when ordering machinery from us. --------------- SHIPMENTS. Being situated on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, New York, Chicago & St. Louis, Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia Railroads, and having ample facilities for manufacturing, we can assure our friends and the milling public, that all orders for machines will be promptly filled, great care being taken in packing, boxing and delivering at railroad depot, free of charge ; and care will also be taken to ship over the cheapest and most reliable routes. We trust that our reputation in the past, for prompt attention to all orders for machines, is a sure guarantee that the wants of our customers will be in the future closely attended to, and we solicit a continuance of the patronage heretofore so liberally bestowed upon us.Ordering Machines. First, please take into consideration the fact, that in the construction of a mill, the machinery for cleaning the wheat is the most important. If that class of machinery is defective, the wheat will be imperfectly cleaned; and even if the balance of the machinery for reducing wheat to flour is all first-class, the final result will be unsatisfactory. In a mill of any considerable capacity, a full line of cleaners, consisting of the Milling Separator, the Combined Smut Machine and the Brush Machine, should be used in the order here given. In some instances, between the Separator and the Brush, two Smut Machines, used continuously, are thought to be advisable to thoroughly and economically clean and fit the wheat to be manufactured into flour. Where this system is followed, each machine, if properly constructed, will handle the material lightly and without waste, and when it has passed through the whole line, the smut, dirt and filth will be effectually removed, leaving the bran intact, and not liable to be pulverized in the processes of‘reduction, or to be mixed with, and darken the flour. Another important consideration in selecting a line of machinery for cleaning wheat, is to select the whole from the same manufacturer ; when machines to constitute a full line are ordered—say one or two—each from different manufacturers, the result is invariably unsatisfactory, for this reason, if for no other, that the numbers on machines used by the different manufacturers do not correspond in capacity ; in such cases, the result can easily be imagined. In selecting machinery be careful to select the best, even though the first cost is something more, as it will be found cheapest in the long run. Whether a full line of machinery or a single machine is wanted, please correspond with us, stating what is wanted, and capacity required, and we will give such information as will be necessary to enable you to order understandingly ; and when a full line is wanted, special rates will be made. The capacities of machines, as given in this catalogue, will always be found correct, and, unlike those of some other manufacturers, the machines will, with ease, work up to the capacities named. The description of machines given in the following pages will be a safe guide for determining the size and style of machine wanted. We would particularly urge the advantage of purchasing machines large enough to properly handle the grain. If your requirements are such as to demand that 70 bushels of wheat be treated per hour, do not order the machine the maximum of capacity of which is that amount. The machine will handle that amount, and handle it properly, but it will not handle more without injury to itself or unsatisfactory operation upon the grain. It will be a safe rule to reckon your requirements as the minimum capacity of the machine.INTRODUCTORY. For a period exceeding thirty-one years, the “Eureka” grain cleaning machinery has been used by the milling public, and perhaps no stronger evidence of its worth, and the high estimation in which it is held, can be adduced than the simple statement that each succeeding year has witnessed a materially enlarged sale. Beginning in 1856, with an output of nearly forty machines that year, our business has grown steadily and rapidly, as may be seen from the fact that our sales last year exceeded two thousand machines, and the total sales thus far exceed twenty-two thousand machines. Originally but one style of machine, in three sizes, was built. To-day we build thirteen different kinds of machines in seventy-eight sizes. No establishment in the world can give the miller so wide a variety of machines to make selection from, and no firm or establishment can, or will, give stronger guarantee of satisfactory operation. Our shops, which are the largest of the kind in the world, are equipped with the most improved and perfect machinery for facilitating work and insuring accuracy of parts and construction. Manufacturing on so large a scale permits of thorough division of labor, and assures accuracy and rapidity in production, and perfect interchangeability of parts—a vital point when repairs are necessary. Every part of each machine is produced in our own shops and under our immediate personal supervision. Defects in material or workmanship are, therefore, almost impossibilities. An idea of the requirements of our business may be obtained from the statement that our lumber stock, in various stages of seasoning, always ranges from 800,000 feet, to 1,000,000 feet. Not a foot of lumber is used in the “ Eureka” machines until it has stood, piled in our yards from three to four years. We employ no artificial means to dry our lumber, hence possibility of shrinking or swelling, in the completed machine is avoided. We have kept pace with every demand created by the many changes in processes of milling, and our success in satisfactorily meeting these requirements and demands is plainly shown by the volume of our business, which exceeds that of all other firms in this country. Radical changes in methods of treatment we have avoided, because our opinion—based upon an experience much greater than that of anyone in our line—is, that a simple change in form of mechanism does not indicate improvement in the results secured. Millers know, to their cost, what is meant by ‘ ‘ radical changes ’ ’ and ‘ ‘ new departures ’ ’ in methods and machinery for cleaning grain, and can easily recall a dozen or more machines which have been placed on the market with glowing promises, only to be pronounced absolute failures in prolonged practical work. It is our business to keep thoroughly posted as to what is being accomplished in the way of improvements, and our patrons may* rest assured that so soon as we can find anythingbetter than the ‘ ‘ Eureka ’ ’ machinery we shall spare no effort to obtain control of it. Thirty-one years’ watching and experiment have failed to discover it. We have never made extravagant claims for, or assertions concerning the 1‘ Eureka ’ ’ grain cleaning machinery. Because of this it has been freely asserted that we were ‘ ‘ too conservative. ’ ’ The success which has attended our business shows the fallacy of such assertions. We have always preferred that our machinery should exceed our claims and representations, rather than fall below them. We know exactly what our machines will do and how they will do it, and to that extent we always fully and unequivocally guarantee them. As a rule they exceed our representations and the millers’ anticipations. If this be conservatism, then conservatism has proved beneficial to us, as we are doing by far the largest business of any house in our line in the world. Our prices always have been, and always will be, low ; but this has not been, and never will be, because of any inferiority in material or labor employed. The material we use is the best procurable ; our labor skilled and long-experienced. Building, as we do, more grain cleaning machinery than any other firm in the country, we can afford a smaller percentage of profit, and can use a much higher grade of materials. We invite the closest comparison between the materials, workmanship and finish of the “ Eureka” machines and those of any other house in the country. We have behind us a record of thirty-one successful business years ; a reputation gained by faithfully and entirely fulfilling every promise and representation, and this reputation we cannot afford to jeopardize in any manner whatever. Concluding this desultory introduction we must express our appreciation of the more than liberal patronage accorded us in the past. We have spared no effort to deserve well of the milling public, and the volume of our business bears evidence that we have merited the confidence and patronage given us. It is unnecessary to say that future endeavor will not be lacking to retain and increase this patronage. % Inviting your careful examination of this catalogue, and assuring you of our best attention in filling orders you may favor us with, we are Respectfully, 64 Mark Lane, London, England. HOWES & EWELL, Silver Creek, N. Y.SOME EVIDENCE. The following letters are introduced only for the purpose of evidencing the fact that our machines are remarkable for durability and reliability. Our long business career has put us in possession of thousands of testimonial letters, but we have no space to present them, and it is not at all necessary for us to do so. After Sixteen Years. Buffalo, N. Y., April 5, 1887. Messrs. Howes &= Ewell, Silver Creek, N. Y : Gentlemen—When, in 1875, we came into possession of the Frontier Mill, we found, as part of its equipment, one of your No. 3 Eureka Machines, with lengthened scourer. This machine, if we are correctly informed, was purchased of you in 1871 by Thornton & Chester, who, at that time, operated this mill, and was used by them up to the date of our taking possession. We have used it constantly ever since, and it is good yet—so good, in fact, that we have not thought it necessary or desirable to make any change. In all this time we have renewed the case once only, and no other repairs have been necessary. Very truly yours, _____________________ SCHOELLKOPF & MATTHEWS. Always Reliable. Buffalo, N. Y., April 4, 1887. Messrs. Howes & Ewelly Silver Creek, N. Y. : Gentlemen—In September, 1882, we purchased of you the following machinery for our Banner Mills, viz.: two No. 3 Eureka Milling Separators, one No. 3 Eureka Close Scouring Machine, one No. 3 Eureka Brush Machine, one No. 3 Eureka Magnetic Separator and four Silver Creek Flour Packers. Four and one-half years of continuous use serves to confirm our appreciation for the Eureka machinery. We are satisfied with the operation, and have always been. We can always rely upon the work of the Eureka Machines, and that, with us, is a great point. Yours truly, BANNER MILLING CO., Per F. Ogden. Model Machines in a Model Mill. Office of the Daisy Roller Mills,! Milwaukee, Wis., April 4, 1887. j Messrs. Howes &• Ewellf Silver Creek, N. Y. : Gentlemen—The machinery purchased of you in 1886 for use in this mill has proven entirely satisfactory in every way. It comprises one No. 6 Eureka Receiving Separator (Double Separation), one No. 5 Eureka Milling Separator, one No. 5 Eureka Upright Close Scourer and Polisher, one Screenings Separator, two No. 4 Magnetic Separators and four Silver Creek Flour Packers. Built, as this establishment was, for a model mill, it was and is necessary for every machine comprised in its equipment to do its part, and do that part thoroughly and effectually. This your machines do. They are always reliable Very truly, DAISY ROLLER MILL, L. R. Hurd, Manager. Rather Hard Service. Buffalo, N. Y., April 12, 1887. Messrs. Howes Ewell, Silver Creek9 JV. Y.: Gentlemen—We have in use, in the Niagara Mill, two of your No. 3 Eureka Brush Machines (Upright), and have been running them almost constantly for nine years. They are the only brush machines we have in use, and when we state that our capacity is 1,300 barrels of flour per twenty-four hours, you can judge how severe is the usage to which they are subjected. During the period they have been in use we have expended upon them for repairs less than one hundred dollars. We have also in use one of your Upright Eureka Close Scourers, capacity 200 bushels per hour, and this machine has been in continual use during the past year. In addition to these, we have four of your Eureka Dustless Milling Separators, capacity 125 bushels each. The first was put in in 1884 and the others in 1885. The above is simply a statement of facts. Very truly yours, SCHOELLKOPF & MATTHEWS.CRAIN CLEANING. When, thirty-one years ago, we first offered the Eureka Smutter to the milling public, the system in vogue for grain cleaning was of the crudest possible nature. A rolling screen and open smutter comprised, as a rule, the entire outfit. How many of our readers remember the old open smutter, working away in a close room, the air, the floor and every possible resting place in which was laden with the dust, dirt and smut removed by the smutter ? This room was never entered by the miller except when necessity compelled. There was no ventilation, and breathing therein was a matter of extreme difficulty. The advent of the Eureka Smutter changed all this. There had, of course, been many attempts made toward effecting improvement in methods and machinery for this purpose, and not a few machines had been offered, the adoption of which, it was thought, would result in better work for the miller and profit for the inventor, but the ‘ ‘ Eureka ’ ’ was the first, as it is to-day the most, successful in practical operation, and of all machines then in use it, alone, secured recognition by, and permanence in the favor of, millers. In those days our knowledge of the real requisites in a perfect smutter was limited, and, successful as our first machines were, they were by no means the perfectly operating machines they are to-day. Correct principles were, however, embodied in them, and in elaborating and correctly applying these principles we have, in the past thirty-one years, made close study of the best applications of mechanical processes for the ridding of wheat of all impurities preparatory to its conversion into flour, and, perhaps, something of what we have learned may prove of value, or at least of interest, to many millers. WHEAT UPON WHEAT. It has been asserted, times without number, that more adhering impurities are removable by “the action of wheat upon wheat” than by any simply mechanical device. We regard this as theory. That is, sufficient and proper action of wheat upon wheat to rid it of impurities is impossible of attainment, In other words, while it is true that the rubbing of wheat upon wheat will loosen or free a considerable amount of adhering impurities, the operation is attended with results so detrimental as to leave the wheat in a decidedly worse condition than before the scouring action is begun. In all mechanisms intended for scouring grain, by the action of the grain upon itself, it has been found necessary to incorporate some device for agitating the grain and to cause it to pass onward through the machine. Although overlooked, or ignored, the fact remains, that whatever of scouring is accomplished by such mechanisms is most largely effected by the action of the agitating devices. To secure this, so-called, action of wheat upon wheat, it is necessary that a large quantity be subjected to simultaneous treatment. In other words, the scouring receptacle must be at all times filled. No matter now what device or principle is employed to agitate the grain or to cause it to move through the machine the effect of the treatment is harmful instead of beneficial.THE CONVEYOR PRINCIPLE, An idea which has also found much favor where discussions have been held relative to the possibility of producing new appliances for smutting and cleaning wheat, is the utilization of conveyors. It is argued, that because, in the conveying of wheat from the elevator to the mill, or from one part of the mill to another, a certain amount of dust, dirt and smut is loosened, sufficiently long-continued action of this nature would result in completely cleansing the wheat of all impurities. As a further advantage to be gained by this method of treatment it is urged that the ideal action of wheat upon wheat is thus most perfectly secured. Theoretically this is all very nice, but practical application of this idea has shown its utter and entire worthlessness. Loosely adhering impurities will, of course, be, to some extent, detached in conveying the wheat, but smut balls will not be broken, nor will the fuzz be scoured off the ends of the kernels. Any miller can easily satisfy himself as to the worthlessness of a conveyor for smutting or scouring wheat by looking at the wheat while in motion. Scarcely any rubbing of the wheat upon wheat takes place. Most of the wheat moves endwise and only a slight scouring action is effected. It is quite possible to mix wheat in the conveyor, but it is not possible to effectually scour it. THE BEATER PRINCIPLE. Ever since the introduction of the middlings purifier, millers have been told that the *1 beater ’ ’ principle in smutters was all wrong ; that its tendency was to break the wheat; that the exposed interior of wheat so broken became coated with dirt and smut in the scouring-case, and that no after treatment would serve to remove this dirt and smut, and, therefore, a pure and white flour was impossible where the wheat had been subjected to treatment on a smutter embodying the “ beater ” principle. Now all this is very nice in theory, but it lacks the very essential element of truth. You will notice that this theory is, and always has been, most strenuously urged and advocated by those who ‘ ‘ have an axe to be ground ’ ’ in the form of a new smutter or scourer embodying a ‘ ‘ new principle, ’ ’ which they are anxious you should purchase. We say the theory lacks the element of truth, and we are borne out in this assertion by the fact that the ‘ ‘ Eureka Smutters, ’ ’ embodying what is termed the ‘ ‘ beater ’ ’ principle, have for thirty-one years continually grown in favor, and to-day are in greater demand than ever before. More than this : There has never been a period in the past thirty-one years when our sales have not exceeded those of others in our line. More than this : While our busines has shown continual growth, dozens who have entered the field against us, with “new principles,” have abandoned it. We1 do not speak of this boastingly, or writh any spirit of gratification because others have failed in a field where we have been successful. We refer to it only because it affords indubitable evidence that the principles—old they may now be—upon which the “Eureka” smutter is built and operates are, in the broadest possible sense, correct. We would not, either, be understood as saying that the “ Eureka” smutter of 1856 is the same as the “ Eureka” smutter of 1887. By no means. The Eureka Smutter of to-day is quite adifferent machine, but the principle of its action is the same. It has undergone such modifications as experience in its manufacture has demonstrated would prove beneficial and advantageous, or as have been rendered necessary to adapt it to the altered requirements and conditions created by the changes in methods of milling. A LINE OF MACHINERY. While, of course, existing local conditions must all be considered when the purchase of a line of grain cleaning machinery is contemplated, we cannot too strongly urge the adoption, so far as possible, of machines all made by the same firm. Particularly would we urge this where a line of our ‘ ‘ Eureka9 ’ machinery is adopted. While each of our machines is made for the performance of a specific operation and amount of work, each different machine is also made with reference to its adaptability to precede or follow some other machine of our manufacture, and decidedly better results will be secured if a full line is purchased from us than if different makes of machines are employed. Oftentimes a really good machine is condemned because the one preceding or following it does not do its proper proportion of labor in the right manner. A line of machinery may embrace more or less in number of machines, but under ordinary circumstances the following will make up an excellent, and in our judgment, necessary outfit : ONE RECEIVING SEPARATOR to rid the wheat of coarse material, sticks, grain headings and other large trash, invariably found in wheat as it comes from the farmer’s hands. ONE MILLING SEPARATOR, to rid the grain of small trash, oats, chess, straws, etc., and render it fit for treatment by the scouring and smutting machine. ONE SMUTTER, Upright or Horizontal, to remove adhering impurities from the berry. Many millers deem it advantageous to employ two smutters or scourers, and we very strongly recommend the practice, as we believe results invariably justify the slight additional cost. ONE BRUSH MACHINE, Upright or Horizontal, to polish the wheat after scouring, and to eliminate any particles of dust that may adhere thereto. ONE MILLING SEPARATOR. Although not absolutely essential we strongly recommend the employment of this machine in this location, or step, in the cleaning process. A considerable amount of screenings, chess, loosened bran, etc., the effect of which, in the reduction of the wheat, is to blacken or discolor the flour product, will be removed, and to just that extent will the operation of the bolts be facilitated. We should, perhaps, state right here a fact well known to a very large number of millers, viz.: No matter how thoroughly cleaned wheat may be, or how perfectly fitted for reduction, its continued handling, before reduction, will always result in detaching a little more of the adhering or incorporated impurities. It is for this reason that we recommend the employment of the second Milling Separator. ONE MAGNETIC SEPARATOR, to remove particles of iron, wire, broken nails, screws, etc., (that may have thus far followed on with the wheat,) and prevent their passing on to the reducing mechanism, which they are very liable to materially injure, or, escaping these, pass into the bolts or purifiers, when serious injury to the cloths will almost inevitably result. These machines, placed in the order named, constitute a perfect outfit in every respect, and will give, invariably, satisfactory results, but, of course, the number of machines to be employed must be left to the judgment and discretion of the miller. We recommend a full line, not for the purpose of selling more machines but because we know the results will much more than compensate the miller for the inconsiderable increased outlay.PLACING GRAIN-CLEANING MACHINES. In too many cases improper attention is given to locating grain cleaning machinery in the mill. It is now so almost universally admitted that upon the proper and thorough cleaning of the wheat depends the purity of the flour ; that it is surprising to note how meager are the accommodations usually set apart for the reception of the grain cleaners. A small space, scarce large enough to receive the separator or the smutter, or both, may be partitioned off in some corner of the mill, or they may be placed in the basement, and here in dirt and darkness is performed the operations upon which so much of profit or loss hinges. In many cases, of course, it will be perhaps impossible to provide, what we would deem, almost vitally essential accommodations in order to secure the best possible results from the operation of the machines, but inasmuch as the more nearly perfection of accommodation is secured, the more satisfactory will be the operation of the machines, and, furthermore, as in some instances, ignorance of requisite conditions has been the reason why they have not been provided, we will, very briefly, state what we consider absolutely essential to be observed. L The machines should be so placed that quick and easy access may be had to every part. In other words, plenty of room all around the machines should be provided. II. Plenty of light, daylight, to reach so far as possible, all sides of the machines should be provided for. The advantages of this can at once be discerned. In case of an accident the injury may be quickly gotten at and repaired. If necessity for adjustment arises, it may be quickly and intelligently effected. If the machine is not properly performing its functions, the reason can be easily seen, not guessed at. In addition to this, a machine which has plenty of daylight around it, is absolutely certain to receive better attention, be more regularly oiled and cared for than one which stands in almost darkness. III. Machines should be rigidly secured in position. The frame of the machine is intended simply to support the operating mechanism. If permitted to oscillate or vibrate, it will interfere materially with the operation of the working parts, and the result must, inevitably, be a more or less unsatisfactory product. IV. Particular attention should be given to the arrangement of the dust-discharging spout. Too great length of spout or trunk should be avoided. Abrupt turns in the trunk will detrimentally affect the operation of the machine. If discharge is made into a dust-room, the vent for escape of the air from such dust-room should never be less than three times the area of the trunk or spout discharging therein. In every case, where such an arrangement is at all possible, each machine should have its own, separate, discharge spout or trunk, with separate and distinct outlet. Where this is not possible, then where connection with another trunk is made the area of the extension must equal the combined area of spouts or trunks at point of connection. For instance : Fig. i (see following page) represents a not uncommon way of connecting air or discharge trunks. Assuming that the air currents are equal in volume and velocity, it will be obvious that the extension of the trunk beyond the point D will be loaded with twice the volume of air that it would be at E, and with three times the volume at F that it would be at E. In other words, the volume of air put in motion by fan A has freedom of exit until it meets the current gener-Fig. i. ated by fan B, when its motion is retarded and the combined currents from fans A and B are again checked by the current from fan C. Tightly close the exit or discharge spout of an exhaust fan, and no matter what power is applied to, or velocity given, the fan will exhaust practically no air. Again: The exhausting power of any fan is governed by the area of its outlet as much as by its inlet; in fact, ordinarily, more so, as the air drawn in suffers a certain degree of compression in its passage through the exit spout, by reason of frictional contact with the surfaces thereof. Any contraction of the outlet will at once make itself felt at the inlet. In other words, the fan will take in no more air than it can discharge. Referring back now to Fig. i, it will be apparent that beyond the point E, the main discharge trunk G has twice the quantity or volume of air to convey that it has before that point is reached. It will be seen that this main discharge trunk G is of same dimensions as discharge spout, or exit, of fan A. Now, when it is borne in mind that the fan discharge is made of just such size as to properly expel the current of air generated by the fan, it will be obvious that double or treble the quantity of air cannot be satisfactorily taken care of by it If one fan will generate a sufficient current of air to fill a discharge trunk, a dozen similar fans revolving at a like speed may discharge into that trunk, and the volume of air expelled by it will be in nowise increased over that which the one fan would cause to pass through. It is absolutely essential that a certain volume of air, moving at a proper velocity, be passed through a given quantity of wheat to properly remove and carry off the loosened impurities, and it will require no argument to show that any diminution in this volume of air will result in an unsatisfactory operation of the machine. We have said that where connection with a common air trunk is made, the area of the extension must equal the combined area of the spouts at point of connection. There is, however, a right and a wrong way to secure this increase of area ; or, perhaps, we should say, there is a right and a wrong way of making the connections. Fig. 2 represents a very common, but still wrong way of doing it; A, B and C, representing the fans and discharge spouts of three machines discharging into a common trunk G. The dotted extensions of the spouts from fans B and C indicate the direction of the air from them as it enters the common discharge trunk G. The objection to this method of connection is that change in the direction of these currentsFig. 2. is effected in the common air trunk, and in effecting this change eddies are formed which greatly interfere with the free passage of the air currents in their outward flow. In other words, the current from fan B must be deflected to its proper course by the force of the current from fan A, and the current from fan C is given proper direction by the combination of currents from fans A and B, thus more or less interfering with their free or proper action. This interference may be slight, but to the extent of its existence will its effect be detrimental and plainly discernible in the material under treatment. If one fan requires a discharge spout of a given size, another fan discharging into said spout, will curtail the capacity of the first fan one-half, and a third fan will curtail its capacity two-thirds, etc. Fig. 3. The proper manner of making connections to a common air trunk is shown in Fig. 3. By this arrangement direction is given to each current of air before it enters the common trunk, and no impediment to its free passage through is presented. But even with this arrangement imperfect action is possible should the volume and velocity of air from one fan happen to be greater or less than from another. To absolutely avoid this partition the common air trunk as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3.VENTILATION. Immediately the adhering impurities are loosened or detached from the grain they should be removed from the scouring cylinder or casing. In no way can this be satisfactorily accomplished if the machinery is not thoroughly well ventilated. Right here is the point where the majority of would-be inventors, and some manufacturers, of grain-cleaning machinery fail. The importance of this is overlooked by them, yet a moment’s thought will serve to show how vitally essential to the proper operation of the machine it is, and why the much-advocated theory of the ‘' action of wheat upon wheat ’ ’ has, and must, always prove a failure in practical work. Where attempt is made to secure this action of ‘ ‘ wheat upon wheat ’ ’ a large volume of wheat must be, as previously stated, subjected to simultaneous treatment. If, in the operation of scouring, smut-balls become broken it will be obvious that their immediate expulsion from the scouring-case is impossible, owing to the mass of wheat under treatment, and through which the smut-balls in broken condition must travel to find exit. Little if any portion of them ever finds exit, as in their passage through the grain they become more and more broken, and the smut plasters on to the bran of the wheat, from which, by no present known means, can it be removed. If no smut is present upon the wheat under treatment, still the employment of a poorly or non-ventilated machine is detrimental, because the loosened impurities, becoming pulverized by frictional contact, are, more or less, forced into the creases of the berries, from which they can be removed only as the reduction of the wheat takes place. The 4‘ Eureka’9 machinery has always been noted for its perfect ventilation. We have always recognized the advantages to be gained by prompt removal of all impurities immediately they were detached by the action of the scouring cylinder, and the facility with which this is accomplished by the ‘ ‘ Eureka ’ ’ machinery is wholly due to its perfect ventilation. The scouring-cases are freely perforated, and the current of air generated by the ‘‘beaters”— so-called—on the scouring cylinder, finds its only vent through these perforations, carrying with it all loosened impurities to the outside of the scouring-case, where they are catight by the blast generated by the fan and immediately carried off. This is rendered possible from the fact that in its passage through the machine the wheat is spread out in a very thin sheet around the entire scouring-pase, moving back and forth between the scouring cylinder and casing very rapidly and being subjected continuously to a strong current of air, or, in the language of a noted writer, ‘ ‘ grain is scoured on the ‘ Eureka ’ machine in a perfect whirlwind. ’ ’ The ‘ ‘ Eureka ’ ’ was the first successful, as it is to-day the most perfectly, operating combined separating and scouring machine. In 1856 but one machine was, ordinarily, employed to prepare the wheat for grinding, and, of necessity, the action of the machine upon the wheat was harsh, and a considerable quantity was broken. The advent of the ‘ ‘ Eureka ’ ’ combined machine demonstrated the advantages of double treatment and its thorough ventilation gave it a strong and leading position which has ever since been maintained. When the directions which accompany the “Eureka” machines are observed no excuse for dissatisfaction will be found, no breaking of wheat will take place, and a perfect cleansing, without abrasion of the bran will always result.FIRE HAZARD. Much is said concerning the fire hazard attendant upon the use of grain cleaning machines, and it has become a requirement of all insurance companies that additional premium shall be^ charged upon such mills as employ machines upon which any bearing is covered by any part of the machine. They deem it an essential element of safety to the property insured that all bearings upon the grain-cleaning machinery shall be readily and quickly accessible, and this condition is most perfectly met in the “ Eureka” machinery, and it is in every respect fireproof, in so far as ignition within itself is concerned. To effect this desirable end we have not been obliged to cut openings—thereby placing obstructions—in the separating leg, or above the scouring cases of our machines, and no change whatever has taken place in the operation of our machines by reason of this exposure of the bearings. Comparison in this respect is invited becween the ‘4 Eureka ’ ’ and other machines. SPEED AND CAPACITY OF MACHINES. In the tables giving dimensions, speed and capacities of our various machines, we have rated the speed in conformity to the amounts of grain that we consider it well or desirable to subject to treatment on each machine. Any considerable variation from the speed we recommend will, of course, affect the character of the work performed, if the amount of grain recommended is passed through the machine. Again, if the machine is driven at the speed recommended and any material variation is made in the amount of grain operated upon, there will also be apparent a difference in the character of the work turned out. To illustrate our meaning, we will suppose you have put in our No. i “Eureka” Smut and Separating Machine. This has capacity for treating from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per hour when the scouring cylinder has a motion equivalent to that specified in the tables. It will be at once obvious that if this speed is maintained and but 15 bushels of wheat are treated per hour, the action of the scouring cylinder upon the wheat will be prolonged and this prolongation may result in too harsh action. On the other hand: If the quantity of grain passed through the machine be materially in excess of the maximum amount at which the machine is rated then the scouring action is not sufficiently long maintained to secure results desired. We have found cases where the miller, realizing this, had increased the speed of the machinery. Such practice is by no means to be recommended. Run the “ Eureka ” machines at the speed specified for each—or as near that speed as possible—then feed them, never more and never less, than the quantity of grain specified, and in every case they will fulfill our specified representations and meet your expectations“EUREKA” Smut and Separating Machines.' The cuts shown on this and following page represent the ‘ ‘ Eureka ’ ’ Combined Smut and Separating Machine, which has been so long before the milling public, and is so well and favorably known that a minute description is not considered necessary, but some of the general features may be noticed. The fan is on the same shaft as the revolving cylinder, and is used for making the separations from the grain, both before and after it is scoured, and it also absorbs the dust from the entire machine, which can be conducted out of the mill or into a dust room, as may be desired. The scouring apparatus is thoroughly ventilated, discharging the dust as soon as scoured from the grain. When desired, we attach a shoe and shaker to the machine, which, in a machine of small capacity, for custom mills, makes a very complete cleaner in itself. We now so construct it that the scouring-case can be changed without taking down the machine, as the scouring-case is made in halves, but the change cannot be made on machines built previous to 1885. As the ‘ ‘ Eureka ’ ’ has been before the milling public for more than thirty years, during which time over 20,000 machines have been sold, going to every country on the globe where wheat is manufactured into flour, it needs no other recommendation, and those in want of wheat-cleaning machines will r.un no risk in adopting it, as its well-earned reputation will be fully maintained in the^ future. In ordering machines, please state all particulars — size or number of machine, and whether to run with or against sun, as by doing this you will save much valuable time. We advise ordering the shoe for the No. 2^, and all smaller sizes, as we can attach it much better than it can be done in a mill. Very few machines of the sizes named are now ordered without the shoe, and where this is done, in nine cases out of ten, the shoe is very soon afterwards ordered. When desired, we supply the Nos, 1, 1^2, 2, 2^2 and 3 with Lengthened Scourers, of the same dimensions and capacity as corresponding sizes of the Ordinary, except in the length of scouring-cases, which are five to seven inches longer, and are thought by some to scour more perfectly. While the well-earned reputation of this machine is its very best advertisement, and, indeed, may be safely relied upon to indefinitely continue its extensive sale, it is well to state that extreme Shows Screenings Spout on same side of machine as Wheat Discharge.EUREKA SMUT AND SEPARATING MACHINE.

It is quite possible to construct a smutter which shall, at the outset, operate in a satisfactory manner, but which, by reason of defective material, faulty construction or radical inaccuracy of operative principle, produce unsatisfactory results, or occasion endless bother to the miller, or necessitate heavy expense for repairs. This, we say, is quite possible. The Eureka machines are noted for extreme durability. Many of the Eureka Smut and Separating Machines have been in continual service for periods ranging from ten to sixteen years, and are still giving satisfactory service. Particular attention is invited to the class of materials entering into the construction of the Eureka machinery, and close examination of the workmanship, fitting and finish is especially solicited. As to the operation of the machines, there can be no question, as they have been too long in the field, and are too generally in* use to make question possible. Our guaranty of satisfactory operation goes with each machine sold. The large number of sizes which we build of this machine adapts it for every service, locality and capacity, and we invite your attention to the table below, giving dimensions, capacities, prices, etc., etc. Machines are built to drive from top or bottom, as desired, and screenings may discharge on same side as, or on opposite side from, cleaned wheat. Shows Screenings Spout on opposite side of Machine from Wheat Discharge.During the last few years, much has been said about the value of the Brush Machine for scouring and cleaning wheat. Some have asserted that a brush machine was all that was necessary for that purpose, and, especially, where the roller system was used for reducing wheat to flour. The solid brush in various forms, without ventilation, has been tried and condemned ; next in order, the combined smutter and brush, combining the smutter and brush in one machine, has been urged on the attention of millers. This we believe to be wrong in principle; the difficulty in constructing a thoroughly ventilated brush machine, a principle that cannot be overlooked in a machine for scouring and cleaning wheat, neutralizes the advantages gained in the use of the so-called combined smutter and brush. We believe, for a small custom mill, where only one machine is to be used, that a thoroughly ventilated and properly constructed smut machine would be preferable to any brush machine, and leave the wheat in better condition ; but where the brush is used in connection with, and after the smut machine, it is of very great value as a finisher. In that case, the smut, dust and filth that is intermixed with the wheat (if the smut machine is a good one), has been mostly taken from it, and it is left in a condition to receive the full benefit of the brush ; and, if that is a good one, the ventilation will be sufficient to carry off the remaining dust while passing through it. The ideas here expressed, in relation to the Combined Smut and Brush Machine, may not meet the views of many intelligent millers, who believe that a combined smut and brush machine, when only one machine is to be used, preferable to the smut machine alone. To such we would say that the Eureka Brush, by its thorough ventilation, stands at the head of that class of machines; and, when desired, the shoe can be attached, making as nearly a complete cleaner in itself as a brush machine can be made to meet the wants of millers for all capacities of mills. We now build eight sizes of brush machines, ranging in capacity from 10 to 250 bushels per hour—a much larger line of machines of the class than is built by any other manufacturers in the world. These machines “EUREKA” BRUSH MACHINE. Shows Screenings Spout on same side as Wheat Discharge. We build them with Screenings Spout discharging on opposite side also.are built to correspond in size and capacity with corresponding sizes of the Eureka Smutter, and are constructed of first-class material and in our best style of mechanical workmanship, and, in consequence, are very durable.

The distinguishing features of this machine are: A close cylinder, at a proper distance from the scouring-case, with beaters outside of this cylinder, adjustable, and a scouring case of cast-iron, with openings formed on\chills for the dust to escape; the interior of the scouring-case being hardened by a process peculiarly our own, and the sides of the openings in the scouring-case being hardened by the chills, which makes it very durable. The machine is thoroughly ventilated, taking air through the bottom plate and forcing it to the space between the revolving cylinder and the scouring-case, in which the beaters rotate, thereby discharging the dust scoured from the grain through the openings of the case, and, as in the original Eureka, carrying it through the space between the scouring case and the outer casing to the fan above, and from that to any point desired. The separating qualities of the Eureka, so ’well and favorably known, are all retained in this machine, and we hazard nothing in saying to our friends and the milling public generally, that they will make no mistake in adopting it, as it will be sold on approval under a strong guaranty. In ordering, please state whether you want it with or without shoe and whether to run with or against the sun. Upon the following page you will find table of dimensions, capacities and price-list, previous to consulting which, we wish to AND- Separating Machine. Shce removed to show Exposed Upper Bearing. Arranged also to Discharge Screenings on same side as the Wheat.•say that this machine has been, in a very large number of cases, successfully substituted for the original ‘ ‘ Eureka’ * smutter. The machine, as its name indicates, is a close scourer, that is, it is a machine for doing close work. It does not, and will not break grain, but will closely scour and polish it, separating in the most perfect, possible manner, all impurities from it. We have sought to combine extreme durability in its construction, with perfect operation, and it is offered to the milling public, with the assurance that it possesses more desirable and commendable features than any machine, for similar purposes, now on the market. Every bearing is in plain sight, readily and easily accessible, and so placed, that all danger from fire, originating in the machine is effectually avoided. Every part in sight, or out of sight, is perfectly and accurately fitted and finished. Diagrams exhibiting top views of this machine, showing the various manners in which it may be constructed to conform to local conditions and requirements, will be found on pages 22, 23, 24 and 25. “EUREKA” SPECIAL CLOSE-SCOURING MACHINE.

It often nappens that the manner in which upright Smut and Brush Machines are ordinarily built prevents their being conveniently located, so as to give best results without great labor or expense. To obviate this difficulty, and to place those wanting machines in possession of the knowledge of the different ways in which the ‘4 Eureka ’ ’ machines can be built, we have had engraved diagrams giving top views of our regular and such other machines as we can build when required to fit certain locations. The diagrams are plain and easily understood, and when necessary to have a machine or machines built different from the regular, all that will be required to let us know what is necessary, will be to give us number of diagram stating whether to run with or against the sun, and we shall understand it thoroughly. Diagrams on this page show the different manner in which machines can be built when they are required to run with the sun, and diagrams on the succeeding page when machines run against the sun.

E“Eureka” Horizontal Close Scouring, Polishing and Scouring Machine. We have, after thorough tests, brought out the most perfect Horizontal Separating and Scouring Machine now offered to millers, which is illustrated by the cuts shown on this and following page. Figure i represents a perspective view of the machine, with the shoe or shaker attached and the manner of driving it. Figure 2 is an end view of the machine, and as it is proportionate with Fig. 1, a fair idea of the space requisite for its accommodation may be gathered. Machines may be driven from either end. Figure 3, on opposite page, represents a sectional view of the revolving cylinder and the scouring-case of cast iron, with the openings made on chills, and the inner surface of the scouring-case, which is also chilled by a process of our own. As the scouring-case is made in sections it can be changed without taking down the machine. The beaters are adjustable and can be used with equal advantage and with best results on both hard and soft wheat. This machine possesses all the qualities of the Upright “Eureka” to wit: thorough ventilation with all the separating qualities, rendering it, in many cases, a complete cleaner for mills of small capacity, and in any case scouring and separating more filth from the wheat than any other Horizontal Machine built. This machine is built of first-class material, in our best style of workmanship, and is sold to suit the demand for low prices. In ordering please state whether machine is to run with or against sun. To determine this, stand at the blower end, facing machine, and if the blower turns over to the right it runs with the sun, if to the left it runs against the sun. The cut shows a machine running with the sun. The table of dimensions, capacities, shipping weights and prices will be found on following page. Fig. 2.Referring for a moment to Fig. 3, it will be noted that the'beaters approach the grain under treatment at an angle and not squarely. This construction possesses two advantages of essential importance. 1st. All danger of breaking the grain is entirely done away with. 2d. The grain is momentarily held in contact with the beaters from which it escapes by sliding and is thus scoured, not only by contact with the scouring case but as well with the beaters. Another advantage is that tffe current of air generated is continuously forced through the perforations in the casing, carrying all loosened impurities out with it. Our Nos. 4 and 5 machines are never furnished with shoe except special order is given therefor.

The cuts here shown illustrate our Eureka Horizontal Brush Machine, which, as a finishing machine in fitting grain for making a fine article of flour, is not equaled by any Horizontal Brush Machine in the market. Fig. i is a perspective view of the machine, showing the manner of attaching the shoe, when required. Fig. 2 is an end view of the machine. This, like our Eureka Horizontal Scourer, may be driven from either end. Fig. 3, on opposite page, is a sectional view of the revolving cylinder, with the brushes in place, and a section of the scouring case, which is made in sections and can be removed and replaced without taking down the machine. The brushes are adjustable and protected Fig. j. from wear on the sides, making them very durable. It is also thoroughly ventilated, an important consideration in a Brush Machine, as both the grain and brushes are, at all times, kept free from dust while in operation, and the consequence is that the action of the brushes on the grain is perfect. This machine, like all others of our manufacture, is built of first-class material and in a very strong and durable manner, and is warranted in all respects to give entire satisfaction, when put up and run according to directions. The separating qualities are the same as those of the Upright or Horizontal Eureka Smut Machine. The Shoe will in no case be attached to this machine unless expressly ordered. The table gives the price of the machine with and without shoe. In ordering always state whether machine is to run with or against the sun. To determine this, stand at the blower end, facing the machine, and if the blower turns to the right it runs with the sun ; if to the left, against the sun. The cut shows a machine running with the sun. The table on following page gives capacities, dimensions, prices, shipping weights, etc.: Special attention is directed to the construction of thismachine as indicated by the sectional view, Fig. 3. The manner in which the brushes are secured from side and end wear is very clearly shown, as is also the method by which adjustment may be secured. It will also be apparent that ventilation in the most perfect manner is secured, as complete and free circulation of the air-currents has been most amply provided for. The durability of this machine is something marvelous, while the operation is always of the most unquestionably satisfactory character. It will be noted that the same number of sizes are built as of our our Horizontal Scourer, and the changes of which it is susceptible, to adapt it to special requirements, or local conditions, are the same as in the machine just mentioned. Explanation of these changes, by diagrams showing top views of machines to run with or against the sun, is given on pages 30 and 31. “Eureka” Horizontal Brush Finishing Machine. No. 0. No. 1.

It is of the utmost importance that wheat should be thoroughly rid of all the impurities found in it when first it reaches the miller. This can only be done economically by oft-repeated operations. The zigzag arrangement of screens, combined with lateral shake movement, is acknowledged superior to any other for ridding wheat from oats and such other impurities as must of necessity be separated by the action of screens. This arrangement has been demonstrated to be emphatically the best that can be devised, combining as it does economy of space with facility of operation. The operation of the machine is as follows: The wheat is first fed into a suction separator, which removes the dust and light impurities, the dust passing to the fan, while the light chess and such other impurities as are of some value for feed, are discharged at the proper place, in condition to* be used. The wheat then falls on a shaking-screen and distributor, which throws off straws, headings, sticks, etc., and, at the same time, distributes the grain, evenly, the entire length of the upper screen. The grain now being freed from the dust and such other material as is described above, passes over a series of screens, and is entirely rid of oats and such other impurities as can best be taken out by a screening process, which material is left in a condition to be used without further trouble. The wheat then passes over a large cockle-screen, which removes most of the cockle, all the sand and small seeds ; and from thence it passes into a wide separating-leg, in which a complete separation is made of such impurities as remain. From the description here given, it will be seen that in this machine are combined all the elements necessary to constitute the perfect Separator ; it creates no dust, and, in consequence, can be placed in any part of the mill; it separates, at the proper time and place, any material from the wheat which it is desirable to have removed, leaving it all in the best possible condition for use. The table gives all the information, including prices, necessary to enable any one to order understandingly :The separation of extraneous matter, such as seeds of various sizes and shapes, sticks, straws, headings, etc., etc., from wheat, has never been successfully accomplished by any means other than by sieves or screens. Facility of operation is secured by causing these screens to vibrate. Every mechanic is aware that a vibrating or reciprocating movement is attended with great waste or consumption of power when the vibrating or reciprocating body is imperfectly balanced. We have always recognized this, and in perfection of balance, consequently lightness of running, the “ Eureka ” machines have always proven superior to all other machines intended for similar purposes. The fact that the “ Eureka ” machines are lighter running than others is shown by their requiring less bracing to hold them firmly and rigidly in position. Nothing is used in their construction but the very best of materials, and in excellence of workmanship and fine finish the most scrutinizing comparison is invited. The large number of sizes of Milling Separators wej build—seven, ranging in capacity for treating from twenty to two hundred and fifty bushels per hour—enables us to meet, fully, every demand or requirement, and as we aim to keep all sizes in stock, little or no delay is experienced in filling orders. We build these Separators in two styles, the' changes in construction being very clearly shown by diagrams given on page 36. “Eureka” Dustless Milling Separator. No. 1. No. i]/2. No. 2. No. 2 yz.

The cut here shown illustrates the Eureka Dustless Warehouse and Elevator Separator, having two separators, one before the screens and one after; also having three screens in addition to the sand or cockle screen. The preliminary screen on this machine is so arranged that coarse impurities are immediately disposed of, leaving the remaining screens to complete the cleaning without being burdened with work, which renders many other machines less efficient. It is built in the most substantial and durable manner and is entirely dustless doing its work for warehouse and elevator purposes in a superior manner. It can be made toclean more or less perfectly at the will of the operator by changing screens, which are interchangeable. When fine Greens are used this machine has many of the advantages of our Milling Separator, having the lateral shake movement, which is far superior to any arrangement for removing oats, etc., from wheat. We furnish two sets of screens with each separator and parties ordering machines can choose any two sets required, and if additional screens are*wanted they may be had at reasonable prices. We give capacities of our machines on wheat when coarse, medium and fine screens are used, also for barley. Screens for cleaning rye, oats, corn, etc., can also be had when required (one set of screens will clean both corn and oats). This class of separators is used extensively by maltsters for cleaning barley and they are far superior to anything in use for that purpose. A cockle screen (and blank sheet to be used when the cockle screen is not required) is furnished with each machine. These machines are warranted to give entire satisfaction, if put up properly and run at the right motion and with suitable feed. Particular attention is invited to the fact that we make every part of these machines in our own shops. We have our own specially designed and constructed perforating machines, and are thus in position to absolutely guarantee the class of material used in our screens and perfect uniformity and accuracy of mesh or perforation ; matters of prime importance where durability and excellence of operation are desired. Eight sizes, ranging in capacity for handling—according to screens employed—from fifty to two thousand bushels per hour are upon our regular stock list. The changes in construction of which this machine is susceptible, are clearly shown by diagrams on page 36. TABLE OF DIMENSIONS, CAPACITIES, PRICES, ETC. No. I. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. 5. No. 6.

The cut here shown illustrates our new Receiving Separator, with Scalper and Double Separation, especially designed for Mills, Warehouses and Elevators, to be used for cleaning wheat, barley, oats and other grain. It will be seen that it is entirely dustless, as the first separator is placed before the screen, thereby causing the fan to absorb the dust. It will also be noticed that we have added a scalper, and a second separator. The scalper throws off sticks, straws, headings, etc., before grain goes to the main screen, which is of great importance, as will be readily understood.

There is also a cockle screen which, like the wheat screen, is interchangeable. The arrangement for feeding is automatic, by which a uniform feed is attained. Another important consideration in connection with this machine is that it requires much less height than any other machine now built for Warehouse or Elevator purposes. The price is also an important consideration, as it will be seen by an examination of the table, that it is less than the or d i n a r y Warehouse Separator now built, and unless it is specially desired to remove oats from wheat, it will do what is usually required in Warehouses or Elevators. These are cons iderations that cannot be well overlooked in the purchase of this class of machinery. The machine is strongly built from best material, and in our best style of workmanship, and is warranted to give entire satisfaction in all cases where put up and run according to directions. Below will be found a table of dimensions, capacities, price-lists, discounts, etc.“EUREKA” Dustless Receiving Separator, One Separation. The cut here shown illustrates the Eureka Receiving Separator, with one separation,, specially designed for mills and warehouses and can be used for cleaning wheat, barley, oats, corn, etc. As the^eparator is placed before the screen, it is entirely dustless, the fan absorbing the dust while the separator takes out a portion of the light screenings and refuse matter. The grain then falls on the screen, which throws oft straw, headings, etc. Screens for cleaning any kind of grain mentioned above will be furnished at a reasonable price; a cockle screen and blank plate, for use if the cockle * screen is not required, will be furnished with all machines. This machine is strongly built, requires but little space, and the price is so low that no one needing such a machine can do without it. TABLE OF DIMENSIONS, CAPACITIES, PRICES, ETC. No. I. No. 2.

The cut here shown illustrates the Eureka Screenings Separator, for the separation ot wheat of more or less value, from the mass of screenings that collect in mills of large capacity. Millers will understand that where large amounts of wheat are used in the manufacture of flour there is more or less good wheat intermixed with screenings, which is of little value unless it can be separated ; and to do this economically, a machine constructed specially for the purpose is necessary. The material from which the good wheat is to be separated is fed into the hopper, from which it passes over a scalping-screen, which throws off all straws, straw-joints, etc., and such other coarse material as is usually found in screenings ; and from that it falls on a screen of small perforations, which takes out the fine material. It then passes into a wide separating leg, which lifts out the light material. The material that passes out of the separat-ing-leg is mostly wheat of more or less value. Millers who use this machine say they are astonished at the amount of good wheat saved by its use. If the separation is not complete in the first operation, it can be repeated as often as it is found necessary. The machine in a large mill or warehouse, will ordinarily more than pay for itself the first year. The price is so low that a mill of ordinary capacity cannot afford to do without it.

The demand for a machine of the character herewith represented is, of course, limited, as the number of establishments where they may be of service is not large, but the operations they are designed to perform are of a most delicate nature, and waste in the performance thereof would not be permitted/ Although we have a sufficient number of these machines in practical operation to determine accurately what they are capable of doing, we have not, until now, placed them before the milling public, or incorporated them in our list of regular manufactures. In offering them now to oat-meal and rice millers we do so with the assurance that they will be found in every way satisfactorily operating, and profitable machines. They will remove, perfectly, and without waste, all hulls, or pieces of hulls, left incorporated with the oats or rice, after the hulling operation is finished. The operation is as follows: The material to be treated is sp’outed to the machine, entering a feed-box, whence its distribution for treatment is regulated by a feed-roll, which causes it to pass in an even sheet down through a current of air, which makes a partial separation on to a screen of suitable mesh, where another partial separation of the hulls from the oats or rice is effected. The still uncleaned material passes now over a second screen, thence on to a third, and last screen, being finally delivered into a wide separating leg, emerging therefrom in a thoroughly clean condition. In the course of the material through the air currents, should any good portion be raised it is deposited before reaching the fan in a properly located screenings spout. Every precaution has been taken to prevent even the smallest waste, and we have no hesitation in saying that it will be found the most thoroughly effective, and most economically operating machine on the market. In fact we don’t know of any other really successful machine. We have thus far built but one size; dimensions as follows, but can furnish other sizes to order.

The real advantages to be gained by the adoption of the machine of which illustration is here given are but imperfectly understood by the great majority of millers. Used before the scouring process begins it will very materially aid that operation by removing a great amount of the loose and light matter, and to this extent relieve the labor of the smutter or scourer. Used after the ordinary cleaning process has been completed it will remove the light free dust which alw'ays is to be found where grain is garnered preparatory to milling it. It is a light-running inexpensive machine, and under ordinary circumstances will in any mill of 50 or more barrels capacity easily pay for itself in a few months. It will be found of especial value for use in elevators and grain storehouses, and can be built to almost any capacity desired up to ten thousand bushels per hour. We might in fact say its capacity is unlimited, while its operation will in every case be guaranteed satisfactory. Prices, which are very low, will be quoted upon application, they being wholly governed by capacity desired. We take it that durability, combined with satisfactory operation, is a matter of prime importance to any miller who may have to purchase machinery. A short-lived machine is never a profitable machine, no matter how cheap its original cost to the purchaser. The “ Eureka” Grain Cleaning Machinery is noted for its extreme durability, as it is for its perfect operation. We build it with direct reference to durability, and we have to-day indubitable evidence that in this respect it is as far in advance of all competition as it is in perfection of operation. The characteristic features of the “Eureka” Grain Cleaning Machinery are: I. Perfection of operation. II. High quality of materials used in its construction. III. Excellence of workmanship shown in the completed machine. These characteristics combined give us durability, and in a degree possessed by no other machines intended for like uses.“eureka” BUCKWHEAT SEPARATING SCOURING AND POLISHING MACHINE. This machine is a complete cleaner in itself, and the operation is as follows : The grain is fed on the back end of the shoe, which, by its rapid oscillating motion throws off all straw, headings, etc. The grain then passes over a cockle screen, which takes out all small seeds, sand, etc., before it goes to the scourer. The scouring is done in a horizontal stationary cylinder, constructed for the purpose, in which rapidly revolve a series of disks placed on a shaft, with openings in the disks for the passage of the grain to the discharge, which is at the top of the stationary cylinder, or may be raised as much above it as is necessary for the perfect scouring of the grain. Lastly, the Buckwheat is discharged into a separating leg connected with the fan which takes out all the filth scoured from the grain. From the description here given it will be seen that the scouring and polishing is done by the friction of the grain upon itself in passing through the cylinder, and by this means it is perfectly scoured and polished without any waste whatever, and from the peculiar shape of the The Cut here shown illustrates a machine brought out two years ago, and thoroughly tested, for scouring Buckwheat and separating all straw, headings, light and blasted Buckwheat, sand and small seeds, leaving it thoroughly scoured, polished and freed from filth, and in a fit condition for the Shucker or Crusher.grains of Buckwheat, (having no creases to catch and hold the dirt and filth,) the action of the air current, through which it passes after leaving the scourer, removes all dirt and filth, and, as stated before, leaves it in a fit condition for the Shucker. This machine is built from the very best material and is warranted to give entire satisfaction, if put up and operated according to directions. In ordering machines be careful to state whether they are to run with or against the sun. To determine this, stand at the blower end, facing the machine, and if the blower turns to the right it runs with the sun ; if to the left, against the sun. The cut in this catalogue shows a machine running against the sun, with the discharge near the floor. Below will be found a table of dimensions, capacities and prices. “ EUREKA55 BUCKWHEAT SCOURER.

While we have never sought orders of this character, we have built upon the order of individuals, such machines, and in all probability shall in the future do the same, but we desire it distinctly understood that we will be responsible only for fidelity in adherence to the plans furnished us, for the quality of the material entering into the machine, and the class of workmanship displayed. Manifestly the risk of operation of such machines must be assumed by the party or parties ordering same. We also have many inquiries touching the capabilities of our machines for other purposes than those they are specifically recommended to perform. For instance : We have been asked if we would guarantee our Flour Packer to satisfactorily pack sugars ; then again to pack lampblack. Manifestly we could not guarantee satisfactory operation, as our machines are not built for such labor. In a great many cases our machines have been bought even after we have declined to guarantee their operation, and when put at work have given entire satisfaction, but we do not and cannot warrant them to do work other than that we build them to perform, and if put to other labor it must be solely at purchaser’s risk.THE “EUREKA” Automatic Magnetic Separator. To this machine, its capabilities and real value we desire to direct particular attention. It is the only machine on thfe market which, month in and month out, will arrest metallic particles incorporated in a flowing stream of grain and automatically carry them away from and beyond possibility of future contact with the grain. The introduction of wire, the binding at- tachments to reapers made some sort of apparatus for removing the pieces of wire left in the grain an absolute necessity. To effect this, the common horseshoe magnet, arranged in gangs and placed in the spouts through which the grain flowed, was used. The use of these magnets revealed the fact that a large amount of other metallic material, aside from the wire used in binding—such as small bolts, nails, tacks, pieces of sheet-iron and particles of ore were found mixed with the grain, which could not be removed without the aid of some sort of magnetic arrangement. The gang magnets were found to be defective, as it was found necessary to remove them from the spouts at stated times and brush ofl, by hand, the metallic material that had been attracted to them. While this was being done it was also found necessary to stop the flow of grain ; otherwise the metallic material would pass on with it. The same difficulty arises where magnets are placed in the discharge spout of the Smut or Brush Machine, for it is evident that where iron in any form is sought to be removed from grain by the use of magnets it must be done automatically while the separation is taking place, or the flow of grain must be stopped while the accumulation of iron is being removed ; for, unless the accumulation of iron from the action of magnets when placed in spouts, or in the discharge spout of a Smut or Brush Machine is removed often and at stated times, they become powerless and particles of iron pass on with the grain, and therefore magnets used in any manner, except automatically are absolutely worthless. To obviate these difficulties is the design of this machine. Since the machine came into our hands an important improvement has been made (for which a patent was granted May 24, 1881) which consists of sheet iron, 4y2 inches wide, being placed on the poles of the magnets, which becomes charged with magnetism, making a strong magnetic field for arresting iron in the various forms in which it is found in grain. It also serves as an armature, or keeper, for preserving thestrength of the magnets. This is of great importance, as the strength of the magnets will remain the same for an indefinite period. A feed-roll has also been added, which makes the flow of grain uniform and even. The cut on page 44 illustrates the above described machine, and its operation is as follows: The grain is fed into the hopper, and by the feed-roll is distributed evenly the entire length of the machine. It first falls on heavy zinc, which, being a n o n-conductor of magnetism, particles of iron, intermixed with grain, flow together until they reach the magnetized sheet- iron, where the iron particles are held until removed by the wiper attached to an endless belt, which passes over it once a minute, depositing them in a box at the end of the machine. From the above description it will be seen that the machine is simple and durable, and entirely automatic in its operation. The experience of those using the ordinary magnets has shown that no miller, although he may not grind grain harvested by reapers having the wire-binding attachment, can afford to be without an Automatic Machine for removing this material, and especially is this the case when rolls are used, to say nothing of the immense damage done to bolting cloths where no precaution is taken. This machine will, in most cases, pay for itself many times each year, even in mills of small capacity. TABLE OF DIMENSIONS, CAPACITIES, PRICES, ETC, No. o. No. 1. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4.

Without a doubt this machine stands at the head of all Flour Packers. It costs a little more money than any other, but so, numerous are its advantages, so thoroughly reliable is its action, and so substantially constructed is it that the difference in price is never an obstacle to its purchase when once it has been examined. The cut represents the Packer with the Spiral Spring, (the door of the enclosing case being thrown open,) patented January 6th, 1885, and substituted for the Coil Spring previously used. Experience has proven that the Coil Spring on the Packer, like that of a watch or clock, will sometimes break ; this is often hastened by the carelessness of the operator. But whatever may be the cause, it has been a source of great annoyance, and it is to remedy this defect that the Spiral Spring has been substituted, and, in that respect, has more than answered our expectations. We have used these springs on all packers built in the last two years — several hundred in all—and as yet have heard no complaint from their breaking or from any other cause, but all who have used them speak of them in the highest terms. The tension of the spring can be readily changed at the will of the operator, so as to adapt it to barrel or sack packing by moving the small lever on the left and at the foot ot Packer frame. Raising the lever increases, while lowering decreases the tension of the Spiral Spring. When the barrel or sack is packed it may be removed from the platform by slightly raising the brake from the friction-pulley. By this arrangement it will be seen that the labor of packing is greatly lessened, while it is much more rapidly performed. We have substituted, for the rope formerly used, a chain forconnecting the Spiral Spring with the differential shieve pulley on end of shaft which operates to raise and lower the platform. This we consider an important improvement. * No variation in firmness of packing can take place, and all possibility oT wear—a trouble sometimes experienced with the rope—exists. This Packer is manufactured from the best material and in the most substantial manner. The packing-shalt is of the best cold-rolled shafting, on the top of which is welded best steel, running against same material placed in a solid iron box, with an oil-cup, keeping it perfectly oiled to resist the upward pressure caused in packing. The boxes for journals are all babbit-lined, and a pivoted box for outer end of counter-shaft is furnished with each Packer; and nothing is left undone to make it as nearly perfect as possible. In ordering, always state whether it is to be driven from the right or left side, as you stand facing the Packer. The ordinary length of counter-shaft is 5 feet 3 inches from center of Packer ; any different length can be had, when required. Heavy bevel gears are now used, and 100 revolutions of the counter-shaft will give the packing-shaft 75 revolutions, which is nearly the right motion for ordinary packing. This motion can be varied to suit the views and requirements of the user. We can furnish a complete arrangement for packing in barrels, and half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth sacks. The packing augur will always run with the sun, unless otherwise ordered. Prices :--------- For Packer and one tube, - $100.00. | For each additional tube with augurs, $5,00. To those who have purchased from us Packers with the Coil Spring, and who desire to change we will furnish the Spiral Spring and all attachments, with full and explicit directions for putting them on, [Tor $7.00, if the old spring and enclosing case are returned to us. The change is easily made, as'they can be put on by any ordinary mechanic. Terms or Warranty. We’warrant these Packers to be built of best material and to be perfect in all respects, and any defect in material or construction will be made good without expense to the purchaser ; and we further warrant them to give entire satisfaction if put up and operated according to directions. But if all is not satisfactory, we must be notified at once, so that we may give it personal attention. If not so notified, we shall require payment at the time agreed upon.PRICE LIST OF EXTRAS.
