of being able 20 present the above NH to he farners

list Of combining the good qualities Of ALL

We have remarked that the great and insur
mountahle objection, urged with much force sgainst
estlron mills, was their papebe deficiency in durability
To remove this objection desideratum long sought
Tor and which has been at length attained in the Excel
sor A only the grinding surface of which consists In
moyesbie rings made in hard and superior metal and
which, when out be repIa led in five minutes by
new rings, at cost Of 90 which makes the mill good
as new there being other part liabeto out Two
setts Of grinding rings accompany each MILL making 1t
equal 10 two mills This pecuarity, possessed BY
insures durability consider alton Of all others the most
important. ~.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
We think will for just consideration Of merit is
ia its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal s discharged into half bushe instead
Of being scattered around the mill is ordinarily the
case.
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late FAIR of the Maryland Agricultural Society," at the
ohoSate Fair and elsewhere at Of which it establish
ed its superiority do not hesitate emphatcay to pro-
nounce preminenty superior to any and all other
crushers of the day. independent Of its moveabe grinding
rings which feature of self makes the distinction be-
tween the kxcesor and all other crushers broad

In view Of this TACT the inventor o. N excelsior

rule will apply tosny and all of the Mills in which
come in competition with the Excelsior Mill
