I " solely upon the merits of the Mill. and no
upon the hundred certificates And paid news
paper pufs that frequently accompany Inven-
tons of very little and often Of no practical
value. The favorable impressb which this
Mill makes on the minds of all who see il
perform induces the belief that there is not
One HatesIsgeufl Practical Farmer
who will fail to be thoroughly convinced of
lis great utility, fitness and perfect adaptation
to the wants Of the Planter.
It shells twenty bushels of corn per hour,
brushes corn and cob together tdu F-ushels and
grinds three, bushels per hourfof good fine
meal The power used, is two ordinary horses
or mules, or ypkeof 9xen-draft lighter than
ploughing. The timt is now here when al
stock raisers throughout the South, are beeom-
ing more and more convinced of tho actual
necessity Of crushing and grinding every ear
of corn and cob together, which they feed
their stock, whether they be horses, hogs or
cows, and if they fail to do this, they will
soon learn that one-haf of the corn which
they have labored to produce, is utterly lost
lt IS an admitted TACT, proven by ANALYSIS
the experience of the most practical Farmers
and most reliable and authentic Agricultural
works, that sirty pounds, Of corn ground is equal
to one hundred rot 9r3und, and that the cob
contains one-fourth as much nutFiment as the
corn grown upon it. 1t is also admitted that
stock (young or OLD fed on ground food, are
not only more healtllyIand thrifty, but will ac-
tuallv fatten in enc third less time. Again it
is well known that the appetite of Stock is not
satisfied until distension of the stomach is
produced, and the stomach of any animal
(when fed upon clear CORN will hold twice as
much nutriment as digestion can extract, con-
sequently total loss Of one-half of the ami
mails food is the result, passing through the
stomach before it can be properly digested-
There is no way by which corn can be reduced
to proper consistency for food for any ami
NAL, so that the stomach when filed, may
contain no moro nutritious matter than diges-
ton can extract, other than by grinding OF
crushing the corn, and mixing it with food less
nutritious, and nothing is better adapted to
answer that purpose than the cob.
Farmers who try this mode of
feeding one ye.sr, will never afterwards
throw one ear to their stock nnqrou1sd.
The great beauty Of this Mill is its Dura-
bility, Utility and Simplicity, being
the greatest money saving machine ever in
vented for the Farmer Thereis no gearing
attached to twill last an ordinary lifetime
nothing to get out of orders simple and ca
silly understood, and managed by one hand
Every statement made aboutths Mill Is self
evilent to all who see perform. All farmers
who consume as much as one hundred barrels
of corn per annum, should be in possession Of
one of these Mills, as by its use, they will soon
save enough to pay for it. The farmer must
save all ssefinants of Produce, as well
as the merchant, who nicely folds away fve
cents worth of the oldest calico in the store
Farmers, your corn now commands a fair
price, and IS it not to your own pecuniary in
terest to save every barrel of it you cant Buy
one of these Mills, and that object will be eff
fected. The Mill viii be furnished you and
put up on your plantation in running order,
for the very small sum of Seventy-EfVc
Dollars! How pleasant it would be for
every farmer to be enabled to do all of his own
grinding at home. Having purchased the
Patent Right for the counties Of Bedford, Lin
coin and Franklin, am prepared to 6ll all or
ders for Mills at the shortest notice. One Of
the Mills can be seen in operation in Shelby
Vile, at f. D. Dromgoole's Livery Stable.
where the farmers are particularly invited to-
examine and see it grind. You need not be-
afraid gentlemen, it will bear testing. One OF,
the Mills will soon be in 0 peration in Fayette-'
vile, of which due notice will be given. See
it grind, crush and she'll, then pass judgment,
and not tillthen. All orders for the Mil, left
with Mr.. E. D. Dromgoole at ShelbyviIlc, will
be promptly attended to by me. All commu-
nications respecting the Mil, addressed to me
at Shelbyville, will be promptly responded O.
