upon tho hundred certificates and paid news
paper pufls that frequently accompany Inven.
tons of very little and often of no practica
value. The favorable impression which thi
i'll makes on tho minds OF all who see i
perform, induces the belief that there is not
One Intelligent Practical Farme,
who will fail to be thoroughly convinced o.
its great utility, fitness and perfect adaptation
/ to the wants of the Planter.
! It shells twenty bushels of corn per honr
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 yokeof oxen--draft lighter than
ploughing. The. time is now here when al
stock ,aisers throughout the South. are beeom-
ing more and more convinced of the actual
necessity Of crushing aud 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-AaIf of the corn which
they have labored to produce, is utterly lost.
1t is an admitted fact, proven by analysis,
the experience of the NEST 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 nutrment 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 &C
tually fatten in one-third less time. Again it
is well known that the appetite of Stock is not
satisfied until distcnsion of the stomach isl
produced, and the stomach of anv animal
(when fed upon clear corn) will hold twice as
much nutriment rs digestion can extract, con-
sequently total loss Of one-half of the ami
mails food is the result, passing throu gh the
stomach before it can be properly digested.-
There is no way by which corn can be reduced
to a proper consistency for food for any ami
NAL, so that the stomach when filed, NAV
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, will never afterwards
throw one ear to their stock ungro,tna
The great beauty of this Mil is its Dura-
bilify. 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 abontthis Mill is self
stilent to all who see perform. All farmers
who consume as much as one hundred barrels
Of corn perannum, 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 fve
cents worth Of the oldest calico inthe store.
Farmers, your corn now commands fair
price, and IS it not to your own pecuniarv in /
terest to save every barrel of it you cant Buy
one of these Mills, and that object will be eff !
fected. The Mill will be furnished you and
put up on your plantation inf running order. !
for the very small sum Of Scventy-Fiye !
Dollars. How pleasant it wouid be for
every farmer to be enabled to do all Of his own |
