Z \ bringing the above Mil before the Farm
Il ers of Bedford and Lincoln counties, I re-
/ ~ solely upon the merits of the Mill. aud not
1 upon the hundred certificates and paid news
paper pu1s that frequently accompan Invef-
tons 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 i-'teliigeEst 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. usetl is two ordinary horses
or mules or yoke of oKen--draft lighter than
plonghing. The time is now here when all
stoch raise,s through6utthe South. are becom-
ing more 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
soon learn that oae-ha!f 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 net ground, and that the cob
contains one-tOurth 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- T
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
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
10 a proper consistency for food for any ami
NAL so that the stomach when filed. NAV
contain no moro nutritious matter than diges-
ion 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. will never afterwards
hrow one ear to their stock anqrou,d
The great beauty Of this Mil is its Dura-
biiisy, Utility and Simplicity, being
he greatest money saving machine ever in ,
ented for the Farmer. There is no gearing
ttached to twill last an ordinary lifetime :
lothing to get out of order-is simple and ca
lily understood, and managed BY one hand - {
Every statement madd aboutthis Mill is self
tident to all who see perform. All farmers :
Who consume as muehIas one hundred barrels |
4 corn per annunl, should be in possession of
me ofthese Mills, as by its use, they will soon a
ave enough to pay for it. The farmer must i
ave all Remnants of Produce, as W ell
5 the merchant, who nicely folds away fve 7
ents worth of the oldest calico in the store. q
Farmers, your corn now commands fair s
rice, and IS it not to YOUR own pecuniary in o
crest to save every barrel of it you CAM Buy s
ne of these Mills, and that object will be eff
ectel. The Mil will be furnished you and {
ut up on your plantation in running order, h
Or the very small sum of 7Scyenty-Five
sOilars! How pleasant it would be for s
very farmer TO be enabled to do all of his own y
rinding at home. Having purchased the q
atent Right for the counties of Bedford, Lin !,
DIN and Franklin, am prepared to Gil all or q
ers for Mills at the shortest notice. One of n
&c Mills can be seen in operation in Shelby
lie, at E. d. Dromgoole's Livery Stable. o
here the farmers pre- particularly invited to
xamine and see it grind. You need not be =
raid gentlemen, it will bear testing. One of
lie Mills will soon be in operation in Fayette-I
lille, of which due notice will be given. See :,
grind, crush and shell, then pass judgment,
nd not till then. All orders for the Mill, left .,
18th Mr.. E. D.Dromgoole at Shelbyyille, will u
? promptly attended toby me. All commu-
cations respecting the Mill, addressed to me
Shelbyville, Will be promptly responded to.
