Arndt, for a stone with 88 to 92 turns, and for twobreaks, gives 14 quarters to the bed-stone; gives for the third five breaks,no to 115 turns and 12 quarters ; for the six inch to eight inch break, 115to 120 turns and 10 quarters. It does not follow that there should beonly 8 quarters and 90 to 100 turns for the ninth to the eleventh Fig. 241.—Arndt Dress—Upper Stone of Under-Runner. b

In Arndts dress the slope of the leaders is thesame as in all ordinary dress, but the slope of the short furrows is reversed ;that is, the feather-edge upon the wrong side, according to the millersusual custom. The short parallel furrows are narrower than the harder the stone, the more parallel furrows there may be. IVARDS MILLSTONE FORMULA. 341 Wards Millstone Formula.—By this method all the joints run inthe back edges of the main furrows, thus preventing them from crossing thegrinding surface of the lands. (See Figs. 242 and 243.) One objection to the circle or sickle dress is that, having so many furrowscrowded into the eye, these inner ends must be the smallest, thus affordingmuch less space for the grain to pass through. Another objection is thatthe varying curve prevents the use of painted furrow patterns to keep thefu
