All other fan-mills require that wheat should be run through twice, to clean it thoroughly, while the Pa- tent Fan Mill will chaff and screen wheat more effectually in one opera- tion than other mills will in two operations, thereby saving half the time and labor required by old mills. The Patent Fan Mill will also clean all kinds of grain, such as rye, buck-wheat, oats, corn, peas, beans, clover, timothy, and flax-seed, in one single operation. Oats and peas are sepa- rated by being run through the mill once. Directions for Cleaning Grain and Seed.—Tor chaffing and screening wheat, put No. 2 sieve in No. 1 groove, No. 4 in No. 3 groove, No. 9 hi No. 4 groove, and the board in No. 5 groove pushed back even with No. 9 sieve. If cleaning for seed, put No. 7 in No. 6 groove; if for market, put No. 8 in No. 6 groove—give it the middle shake, and open the air slides.
