. EarOLiun.

The undersigned has obtained letters patent to
enable common Mill stones Tor rocks) now in use,
TO grind CORN, COB and SHUCK, into meal,
for horses, mules cattle hogs, &c, thereby saving
more than one third of crop, which is an mpOr-
tant item with planters. The machinery used for
the abov purpose is simple and durable, and
not with fair means. get out of order. 1t will last
as long as the stones last, with an expense Of 50
cents every five years. To enable the common
mill stones 10 grind ear corn into meal, requires nc
new buildings or extra power. 1t can also be ap-
piled to horse mills, threshing machines, gins or
any given power known. The mill will
grind one-third more of corn meal by the intro
duction of this machinery, and can be changed
from grinding corn cob, and shuck 10 grinding
corn meal in the space of thirty seconds. Corn
alone when fed to stock, is said to be by the most
practical and scientific planters coDstipang in lis
effects, producing founders, cholics and various
other naladies which are nciden to stock Grind
ing coSs and shack with the corn makes a food
congenial with their nature, and cannot produce
any of the serious results above mentioned Stock,

Corn cob and shuck meal is improved by scaldlng,
and still more by boiling, and yet more by pafn
al fermentation. All the preparations facilitate
digestion for hogs. But horses and mules will
mol eat fermented food, consequently :hey will re-
quire it dry or partially wet with cold water;

OF course lost for all beneficial purposes.

Having been solicited by Maj. Collins 10 baVS
my Mill adjusted to grind Corn in the Ear anu
Shuck, consented that he should do so as an eG-
pertinent; and l am able to say that it grlnds
Corn in the Shuck at the rate of 80 bushels per
hour; and the dressing of the stones is so mpro'-
ed that it grinds shelled Corn more than twice as
fast before, and by my watch, at the rate OF 10
bushels per hour, and the meal finer than usual
deem ii valuable Improvement, and shall pul-
chase the right to use It., as it will afford me
