LeaYitt'S Portable Corn Mill.

For grinding Fins Neal for Family usf;; Crush
i,lg Corn and Cob all together, and yjor sbelting
Corn.
IN bringing tho above Mil before the Farm
l. ers of Bedford and Lincoln counties, | re-
IL solely upon the merits of the Mill and not
upon the hundred certificates and paid news
paper pufls that frequently accompany iuven-
tions Of very little and often of no practical
value The favorable impression which this
Mill makes on the minds Of all who see it
perform, induces the belief that there is not
One InteIligesIt Practical Farmer
who will fail to be thoroughly convinced of
its great utility, fitness and perfect adaptation
to the wants of the Planter.
1t shells twenty bushels of corn per hour,
brushes corn and cob together ten bushels, and
grinds three bushels per hour of good fue
meal. The power used, is two ordinary horses
or mules, or yoke of oxen-draft lighter than
ploughing. The time is now here when all
stuck raissrs throughout the South. are becom-
ing more and more convinced Of the actual
necessity of crushing and grinding e very ear
of corn and cob together, which they feed
their stock, whether they be horses, hogs or
cows, and if they fail tc do this, they will
soon learn that one-half of the corn which
they have labored to produce, is utterly lost
1t is an admitted fact, proven by analysis,
the experience of the most practical Farmers,
and most reliable and authentic Agricultural
works, that SIXTY pounls, Of corn ground is equal
to one hundred not ground, and that the cob
contains one-fourth as much nutriment as the
corn grown upon it. 1t is also admitted that
stock (young or old) fed on ground food, are
not only more healthy and thrifty, but will ac-
tually fatten in one-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 throug Oh the
stomach before it can be properly digested.-
There IS no way by which corn can be reduced
to proper consistency FOX 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 or
crushing the corn, and mixing i. with food less
nutritious, and nothing is better adapted to
answer that purpose than the cob.
Farmers who try This mode of
feeding one year, viii never afterwards
throw one ear to their stock ,nqrourd.
The great beauty Of this Ill is its Dura-
the greatest money saving machine eyer in
vented for the Farmer. There is no gearing
attached to twill last an ordinary lifetime
nothing to get out of orderS-is simple and ca
silly understood, and managed by one hand
Every statement made about this Mill is self
evident 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, tlley will soon
save enough to pay for it. The farmer must
save all Remnants Of Produce, as well
as the merchant, who nicely folds away fire
cents worth of the oldest calico in the store
Farmers, your corn now commands fair
price, and IS it not to your own pecuniary in
terest to save every barrel Of it you can! Buy
one of these Mills, and that object will be eff
fected The Mill will te furnished you and
put up on your plantation in running order,
for the very small sum Of Seyenty-Five
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 gill all or
ders for Mills at the shortest notice. Ono Of |
the Mills can be seen in operation in Shelby !
vile, at E. 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 operation in Fayette-
VILE of which due notice will be given. See
it grind, crush and shell, then pass judgment,
and not till then All orders for the Mill, left
with Mr.. L. DDromgoole at Shelbyville, will
be promptly attended to by me. All commu-
nications respecting the Mill, addressed to me
at Shelbyyille, will be promptly responded to.
