Mill makes on the minds of all who see i

its great utility, fitness and perfect adaptation
to the wants of the Planter. sss
] 1t shells twenty bushels of corn per hour
crushcs corn and cob together ten bushels, and
grinds three bushels per hour of good iue
meal. The power used, is two ordinary horses
or mules, or yoke of soxen--draft lighter than
iploughing. The time is now here when all
stock saise,s throughout the South. are becom-
ing moro and more convinced of the actual
necessity Of crushing dad 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-haIfof the corn which
they have labored to proiuce 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 pounds. of corn ground, isegual
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-I
tually fatten in one third less time. Again il
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 eorn) will hold twice as
mich nutriment rs digestion can extract, con-.
segtieassy a total loss of one-half of the ami
malls food is thes result passing through the
stomach beforeit can be properly digested-s
There is no way by which corn can Be reduced
to q proper consistency fsr food for any ami
mall so that the stomach when filed. NAV
contain no more 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.

feeding one year, will never afterwards
throw one ear to their stock ,mqroard
The great beauty of this Mill is its Dur:s-
biiffy. Utility and Simplicity, being
the greatest money saving machine ever in
vented for the Farmer. There Is no gearing !
attached to twill last an ordinary lifetime
nothing TO get out of order--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 byits use. they will soon
save all Rem ma nis eff Produce. as well
as the merchant, who nicely folds away fue
cents worth of the oldest calico in the store.
Farmers, your corn now commands fair
price, and IS it not to your own pecurnarv in
terest to save every barrel of it you can! Buy
one OF these Mills, and that object will be eff !
fectcd. The Mill will be furnished you and |
put up on your plantation in running order, |
for the very small sum of Seventy-Fivc /
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 I
coin and franklin, | am prepared to fill all or
ders for Mills at the shortest notice. One of
the Mills can be seen in operation in Shelby
vile, at Z. D. Dromgoole's Livery Stable. !
where the farmers are particularly invited to !
examine and see IL 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 tillthen. All orders for the Mill, left !
with Mr.. f. D.DreHgoole at Shelbyville, will
be promptly attended to by me. All commH-
nications respecting the Mill, addressed to me
at Shelbyville, will DO promptly responded to.
