Z IN bringing the above Mill before the Farm
Il ers of Bedford and Lincoln counties. I re-
ly solely upon the merits of the Mill. and moi
| upon the hundred certificates and paid news
! paper putfs that frequently accompany Inven-
tionsof very little and often of no practical
value. The favorable impression which this
!, Mill makes on the minds Of all who see if
perform, induces the belief that there is not
One Intelligent 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 fine
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
| stock raise5s throughout the South, are becom
/ ing moro and more convinced of the 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
so@n learn that one-haIf 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 Sirty pounds 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 Tess 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 anv 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 anv ami !
NAL, so that the stomach when filed, nav
contain no moro nutritious matter than diges- /
ton can extract, other than by grinding or
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 year. viii never afterwards I
throw one ear to their stock unorouni.
The great beauty of this Mill is its DuPa-
biiity. Utility and Simplicity, being
the greatest money saving machine ever in
vented for the Farmer. There is no gearing
attached toit-will last an ordinary lifetime
nothing to get ont of orders 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 1,
who consume as much as one hundred barrels Il
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 Remnants of Produce, as well
as the merchant, who nicely folds away fee
,ents 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 {
.erest to save every barrel of it YOU rAnl Buy
1ne of these Mills, and that object will be eff
Fected. The Mill viii be furnished you and
