! The undersigned has obtained letters patent 10
enable common Mill stones (or 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 can
not, with fair means. get out of order. 1t will last
as long as the stones last, with expense Of %
cents every five years. To enable the common
mill stones to grind corn into meal, requires no
new buildings or extra power. 1t can also be ap
piled to horse mills, 1hreshing machines, gins
any given power known. The same 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 sbuck 10 grinding
corn meal in the space of thirty seconds. Com
alone when fed to stock, is said to be by the most
practical and scientific planters, coustipatng IN lis
effects, producing founders, cholics and various
other maIadies which are incident to stock Grind,
lag co6s and shuck with the corn makes a food
congenial with their nature, and cannot produce
any of the serious results above mentioned Stock,
when fed on corn exclusively, are deprived oil The
benefits of distension $50 necessary TO the proper
health of animals by their being unable 10 eat
sufficient bulk to produce Gistension before the
animal becomes gorged. Cobs ground with the
corn produce this necessary dIstension, WItnOO'
any danger of diseases arising from oVerealHg
Corn cob and shuck meal is improved by scaldIns
and still more by boiling, and yet more by PaEt
al fermentation. All the preparations facilitate
digestion for hogs. But horses and mules VIII
not eat fermented food, consequently :hey will re-
qure it dry or partially wet with cold waef
Horses, mules and oxen, when fed with ungrounu
food, void much in an undigesled state, which
of course lost for all beneficial purposes

: Having been solicited by Maj. Collins 70 nsYS
my Mill adjusted TO grind Corn in the Ear anu
Shuck, consented that he should do so as an eX-
pertinent; and am able to say that 1t grnu'
Corn in the Shuck at the rate Of 80 bushels per
hour; and the dressing of the stones is so lmprOV
ed that it grinds shelled Corn more than twice as
fast as before, and by my watch at the rate Gl II
bushels per hour, and the meal finer than usual
deem il a valuable improvement, and shall Pu,
chase the right to use II, as it will afford me
speedy way Of feeding my horses and cattle aD

my Grist Mill Estate, that my Mill, since this imPrm ~
neut was attached, grnds not only good Meal as S
fore, but FIVE TIMES FASTER and grinds up the CU b
Cob and Shuck, into Meal sufficiently fine to mix wv
other rough food for Stock. My Mill ground very s,
before this improvement was made, but now grlno' H
Meal at the late ofsix bushels per hour. th,
