GRAIN MILLS, adapted to crushing s Corn and 20 s.
Leavtt being the original inventor of tais kind of
chine and from long experience with cast iron corncrush
ers finding that all Of them were ole 70 oplecHons tn
liability soon to wear out he again went work with tn
view removing Objectionable features In February
1885, be succeeded in obtaining eerspatent for the Ex
celsior Corn and Cob M and has the satisfaction
fbeng able to present the above Mill to the farmers
the United States, standing it does the head Of th
list Of CornOrushers combining the good quaes OF all
exen from the defects ofeny and possessing many
valuable and distinguishing features of which all other
/ are destitute.
We have remarked that the great aud heretofore insur
mounlsole objection, urged with much force sgans
mills, was their papable deficiency in durability
TO remove this objection desideratum long sought
for and which has been at length attained in the Exce
sor MIL only the grinding surface of which consists In
moveabe rings made in hard and superior metal, and
which, when worn out be replaced IN five minutes by
new rings att cost Of So which makes the mill as good
as new there being other part liable TO wear out Two
sets OF grinding rings accompany each MILL making
equal 10 two mills. This popularity, possessed by nc
other MILL should not be overlooked by purchasers as
lnsures durability consideration of ell others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and which
we think will secure for consideration of merit is
Ia its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal is 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
OhioS Fair and elsewhere at all of which it establish
ed It's superiority do not hesitate emphatcay to pro-
nounce pre-emneny superior any and all other
crushers of the 6ay independent of its moveabe grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other corncrushers broad
as 20 render comparison supernous and, evidence
of our sincerity, hereby announce that will give

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mil for Ten
Years,
Compared uOith that Of other NUS in at this time.
1t has been proven by experience ard contrary to Ccn
eral expectation that cast iron Mills or grinding Co
etc. to do the work properly will not last than
years. la view of this TACT the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has labored to produce machine that viii y .Ie
economical, and at the same time more effect .he lo
lowing estimate will show the cost of GRIM .th each
of the Mills now in use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior MILL $50, including extra set Of
Grinding Plates which makes good for tour years Cost
of repairs for six years. 49, making for ten years $59
Cost of common Mills, without any extras, says S4-
Cost Of running the same for ten years. suppsng that the
Mill will last long the Exceaior Mill without repairs
say 70 be renewed every two years, which in this
must be done at the expense of machine each tme
Sl76 making for the eu years cost of $780, This
rnle will apply toany and all of the Mills now in use which
Farmers and others in want mills for grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the Ex
celsior Mill be used for the purpose required at less
than third the expense of any other Mill now in
This Mill may be put up in few minutes by any ord.
nary farm hand printed directions for which accompany
each Mill.
