YOUNG'S IMPROVED PATENT
SMUT AND SCREENING MACHINE.
The only Machine of the kind that has stood the if a and
fciven satisfaction to the public. It has surplanted every
Smut Machine yet offered in the State, more or less of
which Iikm beeu taken down to make room lor it. 1 he
public need tear no imposition, as there are now some 280
Machine, running in N. C; and I wish to offer no other
references than the gentlemen who are using them,
whose expectations have been more than realized in
their perfoi ma nee. It not only thoroughly cleanses the
Wheat of smut, but also purifies it of all other substances,
almost to perfection. It takes up but 4 feet square in
the Mill, and requires but little power. It is warranted
for five years against breaking or wearing out, and also
to retain its cleaning qualities for that time.
1 here are a number oi these Machines through which
100,000 bushels ot Wheat have been cleaned, and they
have never been out of order one day.
There was awarded to it the Premium at the Maryland
State Fair, and a Premium with a Silver Medal, at the
