HEMP AND FLAX MACHINE.
|
|
|
|
The Machine for breaking Hemp and Flax, either rotted or unrotted, invented
|
|
by Joseph Hines, and William Bain, (the right of using which, is secured to
|
|
them by patent,) may be seen at Stillwater Village, Saratoga county, New-York,
|
|
where it has been in successful operation since the last season. This
|
|
laborsaving machine surpasses any yet offered to the public for the purpose
|
|
intended, not only in America, but it is believed throughout the world. It is
|
|
so constructed as to operate one hundred and twelve times on every inch of the
|
|
stem; and when running at full speed, rising of two hundred thousand flutes
|
|
operate on hemp or flax per minute, in sufficient force to crack and dislodge
|
|
the stem, and at the same time preserve unimpared the coat or fibre. When well
|
|
tended the Machine will break three hundred weight of hemp or flax in an hour.
|
|
The Machine in this village is driven by steam power; and the shives which are
|
|
made in breaking hemp serve as fuel both for the engine and drying-house, in
|
|
all cases producing an excess of at least one half for other uses; thus saving
|
|
an expense to the proprietors of two cords of wood per day. Experience has
|
|
proved that the shives may be used as fuel in distilling and for other steam
|
|
power to equal advantage. This machine may be worked either by steam or water
|
|
power, as may best suit the convenience of those interested.
|
|
|
|
Those who wish occular demonstration of the correctness of this statement,
|
|
are desired to call and examine for themselves. All persons are forbid using
|
|
this Machine without license from the patentees. The subscriber offers for
|
|
sale the right to use the machine in any territory of the United States, not
|
|
before sold on reasonable terms. Communications in writing, post-paid, will be
|
|
promptly attended to.*

* E. & T. FAIRBANKS of St. Johnsbury, and Col. ELLIS COBB of Barton are
|
|
appointed agents for vending the right to use this machine in the Counties of
|
|
Orange, Washington, Caledonia and Essex in Vermont.
|
|
|
|
Since it has been ascertained by experiment that Hemp and flax can be
|
|
divested of its glutenous or vegetable substance, after breaking with less
|
|
expense and greater safety than before, by the simple use of water -- the above
|
|
machine is increased in value, to the public and those engaged in the culture
|
|
and manufacture of hemp or flax -- inasmuch as these important articles of
|
|
American growth and consumption, can now be manufactured at home of as good a
|
|
quality, and at a much less expense than in any other country. The undersigned
|
|
have fully tested this newly discovered and highly improved mode of rotting and
|
|
cleaning hemp and flax; and with confidence recommend its adoption to the
|
|
public. Three days immersion in still or running water is sufficient to
|
|
cleanse the fibre of its vegetable substance. After which it will only require
|
|
to be dried in the sun, or the drying house; and again run through the machine,
|
|
to render it ductile and fit for use. Any information respecting this process,
|
|
or the use of the Machine, as well as the culture or manufacture of hemp or
|
|
flax, will be readily imparted on application to the subscribers, or either of
|
|
them.

The following certificates from Messrs. Cookes of Ohio will be read with
|
|
interest, as they are gentlemen of extensive acquaintance, highly respected for
|
|
their intelligence and practical knowledge in agriculture, particularly in
|
|
culture and manufacture of hemp. One of them has been a member of the
|
|
Legislature of that state, and the other is, and has long bee, Post-Master of
|
|
the village in which he resides, and extensively engaged in mercantile and
|
|
agricultural pursuits:--
|
|
|
|
"We hereby certify that in the autumn of 1824, we established in Huron
|
|
County Ohio, one of Mr. Hines' Machines, (called Hines and Bain's Machine for
|
|
breaking flax and hemp,) and that since that period we have kept the same in
|
|
constant and profitable operation.
|
|
|
|
There have been several machines, made in that country, embracing in part
|
|
the same principle, but varying in their construction from that of Mr. Hines,
|
|
in order to evade his patent; all of which have proved unprofitable to the
|
|
owners, and highly injurious to the general character of hemp prepared by
|
|
machinery. -- We have observed these failures and attempts at evasion with
|
|
regret; and having thoroughly tested, by long experience and observation, the
|
|
decided superiority and preeminent practical utility of Mr. Hines' Machine,
|
|
compared with others, we are fully satisfied, that it is altogether the most
|
|
perfect Machine for the purpose now in operation. And we are equally well
|
|
satisfied, from much observation and reflection upon the principles of its
|
|
operation, and the nature of the plan upon which it is designed, to operate
|
|
that no other machine different from his is principle can ever be invented, to
|
|
supersede it.
|
|
|
|
An experience of four years has confirmed us in the opinion we had long
|
|
entertained, that there is no branch of agriculture that will afford as great a
|
|
profit, or contribute so vastly to advance the wealth and prosperity of the
|
|
country, as that of the culture of hemp, aided by said Machine, and that
|
|
without such aid the great labor and expense of preparing it for market, would
|
|
continue, (as heretofore) to discourage its cultivation. We are therefore,
|
|
clearly convinced that the invention and introduction of this Machine by Mr.
|
|
Hines, in a national point of view, will ultimately confer the most lasting and
|
|
important benefits upon his country, and, at no distant day be looked upon as
|
|
constituting the brightest Era in the history of American Agriculture. So far
|
|
as we are individually concerned, Mr. Hines has our most sincere thanks for the
|
|
very great benefits we have received through his improvement, and whatever may
|
|
be the pecuniary rewards of his enterprise, they can never equal the fame which
|
|
awaits him at the hands of his country."

STILLWATER, August 7th, 1828.
|
|
|
|
P.S. I have this day seen and examined Mr. Hines' Machine, now in operation,
|
|
by steam power, at Stillwater, Saratoga Co. New York. The only fuel used, is
|
|
the shives it makes in breaking the hemp, only one half of which is required to
|
|
keep it in constant operation. It performs its work with great facility, and
|
|
in my opinion, the heat after creating the steam, by passing through a flue
|
|
nearly horizontal, will be fully sufficient for a dry-house. I have also seen
|
|
samples of hemp that were broken in an unrotted state, and afterwards,
|
|
water-rotted, which I thing to be fully equal if not superior in quality to the
|
|
best of Russian Hemp. E. COOKE.

The following is an extract of a letter from Joel Buttles, Esq.
|
|
Post-Master of Columbus, (Ohio) dated July 24, 1828, to Joseph Hines the
|
|
patentee on the subject of his machine for dressing hemp and flax: --
|
|
|
|
"Thomas Carpenter's Machines turn out about as you predicted they would --
|
|
they do but little, and that but poorly, There are other machines introduced
|
|
into the northern part of this state, none of which do well. I sold one of
|
|
your machines last week, to put up on Huron River, instead of one which had
|
|
been in use for some time (the kind I do not now recollect.) The purchaser
|
|
said his would clean hemp and flax -- still he is willing, it would seem, to
|
|
throw it by, and purchase yours with the right to use it, and be at the expense
|
|
of transporting it one hundred and twenty miles by land. There have been a
|
|
great many machines tried here, but none of them answer the expectation, or
|
|
recommendation, nor does any one of them clean near as well, or as fast as
|
|
yours."

The following is an extract of a letter from Joseph Hines, Esq. the
|
|
patentee of the only Hemp machine in successful operation in the United States,
|
|
to the Editor, under date of 20th August.--
|
|
|
|
"Samples of Duck, manufactured from Hemp rotted in our newly discovered
|
|
mode, may be see here next week. The principal of the factory informs us that
|
|
our hemp works finely, and it will make duck of a better quality than the best
|
|
of flax. This too is hemp you must know that stood for the seed to get ripe.
|
|
We have commenced making Bale-Rope."
