TIME above is a wood cut OF a double gearea 'Queef
L of the South'Corn Mill and Crusher. We manu-
facture a Cob Breaker OF great strength anu oufaoi1'S
and ease of operation.
We place this useful contrivance on all sizes OF mills
BY which means we convert a corn mil into stock -1eet
mill; but a few minutes work to put 1t On or take 1t on
We manufacture portable mills, single and double
geared, (best quality of French burrs) to grind wheat
corn and stock feeds, calculated Tor steam, water OF
horse power. These mills have been run by steam ane
horse power. in competition against the other make o
mills of our city, at our State Fairs, and have never
failed to carry off the first premium-on one occasion
was awarded a beautiful silver medal. Our mills also
took two first premiums, as the best mills, at two annua
fairs of our Mechanics lnstltute.o
Also-Portable SAW MILLS, to be run by steam
water or horse power. This mill was exhibited in OPP
Grafton by horse power, at the Ohio State Fair, IN 1851
when it was awarded a premium and q splendid silver
medal.
Also-Diferent kinds of PORTABLE HORSE
POWERS and STEAM ENGINES. All our articles, tol
ease OF operation, simplicity, usefulness and durabll-
ity, are surpassed by none now in use.
All our articles are warranted as Representations nc
sale-at our cost of transportation and the money re
funded.
For a full description and testimonials of merit anc
usefulness we refer those interested to our pamphlet
to be had at our factory, where we take pleasure to ex'

NoTE.-Mr. Kimball, the partner of ]. Fl. Burrows
while exhibiting a Burrows mill, at our State fair, lasI
fall, was boistezous about his mill, and courageously
entered into a verbal agreement with me to grind corn
thus: Whoever grinds the most, regarding quality and
quantity was to be the owner of both mills, at each and
every trial:
= First trial-Straub to run an eighteen inch mill.
Burrows & Co. to run d twenty inch mill.
2nd trial--Straub to run a twenty-five inch mill.
Q Burrows d Go. to run a ~ inch mill.
Bird trial--Straub to run a 26 inch mill.
" Burrows & Co. to run a 30 inch mill.
When the pinch came, that boisterous courage slipped
out.
To the above, now append a challenge to grind cob
feed out of whole ears of corn.
| will run my eighteen inch QUEEN OF THE SOUTH,
with a Cob Breaker attachment, the same article that
took the Premium at the Ohio State Fair last fall, against
a twenty-four inch Burrows mill, and VIM. Stewards
Ohio and Kentucky Stock Feed Mills, both TO be run at
once; and if you are apprehensive of a risky business,
you have my entire appreciation to run Mr.. Pomeroy's
corn crusher as an auxiliary. Should my single article
fail toogrind equal in quality and quantity to the COM
bined productions of the two or three mills just as you
please then you can draw a few hundred dollars as
stakes put up. Come boys, don't be cowardly-there
is nothing like walking straight into the merits Of a
thing. ISAAC STRAUB.
