FESHE valuable improvement in Portable Mills
N adapted to the various Grinding and Crushing
purposes of a Farm. which are now required. aud
found profitable IN the improved modes of feeding
stock. It is the invention OF Mr. CHARLES LEAv1rT
of Quincy, III, ,who obtained Patent thereon, In
July, 1852.
This Mill differs from those Of ordinary construc-
ton having the relative position of the grinding
surface reversed; that is. the external hollow cone
or cencave grinder is made torevolye the inner
or convex cone which is itself stationary, and so
formed with internal cavity, that it may beEea-
diY and securely fixed on post, or any tree stump
which may stand Convenient, and thus all exterior
framing, as well as shafts or spindles entirely
dispensed with; and the lever TO which tine horses
are connected for giving the motion to the Mil
attached directly to the cancage.
The adjusting apparatus is also simple and effec-
tnaI and IS worked from above without interfering
with the operation Of the Mill. By it the Mill is
made capable ofapplication to vast range of pur-
poses, well being made to grind coarse rine,
as desiled. Among the uses to which this Mili is
adapted are the foiIowlng. Smelling corn, grinding
or crushing corn and cob together; grinding meal
from corn and other grains.
This form Of Mil Is so simple In its construction
and few In It's parts, that 1t be furnished alta
very low price, when the value of the services it
performs is considered and for the it
Is durable and unlikely to get out Of repair

ers that one hshel of corn ground, worth two in

l-This Mill has but lately been introduced In
to the State of Louisiana, where it has met with
the most ready sale among Planters and the keepers
Of fLiyery Stables, wherever it has been seen. The
undersigned has become the sole owner of the Pa
tent Right of the above described Mill for the Par
