MILLS adapted to crushing Corn and Cob together fUE
stock and grinding Meal for family Mr.. Leayitt oemg
the original inventor Of this kind Of machine and from
long experience with iron crushers, finding that all Of
them liable objections the most formidable Of which
was their want Of durability or liability soon to wear out
again work with the view Of removing the objection
able features In February 1855 he succeeded in obtaining
leers-paen for the excelsior Corn and Cob MIL and
has the satisfaction Of being able present the above Mill
the farmers Of the United States standing IL does at the
head Of the list Of Corn Crushers combining the good quail
ties of ALL exempt from the defects Of any, and possessing
valuable and distinguishing features of which al
others are de,t1t"te.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur-
mountabe objection urged with much force against casa
iron mills, their p0lpGJks dcieRc IN dUrabHtg To
this ction desideraum long sought for and
which has been at length attained IN the Xceslor MILL 0y
the grinding suce Of which ssts in movable rings made
Of hard and superior metal and which, when out
be replaced IN hYe minutes ny new rng at cost OF SSVO
which makes mill good new, there being other part
liable to Two sets Of grinding rings accompany
each MILL making equal to two mills This popularity pos
by other MILL should not be overlooked by purchas
as nsures durability, consideration Of all others the
most important
Another interesting feature in this MILL and which
think will for just consideration Of merit in its
being provided with meal CONDUCTOR oy means of which the
meal discharged into hafbushel instead OF being
tered around the mill, as is ordinarily the case. q
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at the
late Fair Of the Maryland Agricultural Society," at the Ohio
State Fair and elsewhere, at all Of which established It's
superiority, do hesitate emphatcaly to pronounce It
the day independent Of its movable grinding rings which
feature itself makes the distinction between the ENcer
and all other crshers broad TO render cOmpa
superhuous and as an evidence OF sincerity We hereby
announce that We will give Silver Cup to any Corn Crusher
that be produced Of the size and eugh Of
lever tina will grind finer and faster than the Excelsior at
time and place to be agreed upon.
Capacity e grinding and chs with two horses from
Is 20 and with horse from to 10 bushels per hour
Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten Years,
Compared lcih that Of the other MIS- IN at his time
Il has proven by experience contrary genera
expectation, that iron mills for grinding to do
the work properly will not st more than two years In view
Of this fact the inventor Of the Excelsior Mil has abOred 10
produce machine that viii be economical and at the
time eectual The following estimate will show
the cost Of grinding with each OF the mills in use for ten
years.
Plates which it good for four years Cost Of
pairs for six years, 49, making for ten years, $50.
Cost Of mill, without any extras, say IA Cost
Of running the years, supposing tina the mill
will long IA Excelsior Mill without rep IRIS say
be renewed every years which in this must be done
at the expense Of chine eachime SIG making for
the years Of 1870. This rule viii apply to
any and all Of the mills in which 10 competition
with The Excelsior MIL
Farmers and others mills for grinding Cora and
Cob viii by the above estimate that the Excelsior
third the expense Of any other mill now in
This mill may be put up in few minutes by ordinary
farm hand printed directions for which accompany each mill
The undersigned having purchased the right to the above
