THE above cut represents a recent aud valuable i'm
p7oveDeut by Charles Leayitt in PORTABLE
GRAIN MILLS, adapted to crushing Corn and Cob
IRener lr soek' and grinding Meal for family use Mr.
LesvItt being the oIginsl inventor OF this kind Of
chine, nd from long experience with cast iron
er hIdne that all tt Them liable to objections, the
most formidable OF which their want of durability
liability 10 wear out be again went to work with the
view of remov Objectionable features In February
1885, he succeeded outaning letters Itent for the Ex
cesor Corn and Cob Mill and now has The satistact
berg able to present the above MIL to The frners of
the UbIed States standing it does the head of the
list Of CornCrushers. combining the good qualities Of all
exempt from the defects any and possessing many
valuable and distinguishing features OF which s others
destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mDuntable OF lection urged with much force sgans
c,siron mills, their palpabe deficiency in durabhty
To remove this OH ctiOn desideratum long sought
tor and which has been at length attained in the Excel
sor MILF only the grinding surface Of which consists In
mO7esble rings, in harJ and superior metal and
which, when out be a>ed five minutes by
rings, cost Of s. which makes the mill good
as new, there being other part sbleIo out Two
sets Of grinding rings accom- aS each mill making it
equal TO Two mills. This pecu isry, possessed by
mill should not be overlooked by purchasers it
insures durability consideration OF all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this mill and one which
we think wi secure just consideration of merit is
in It's being divided with meal conductor, by means of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
OF berg scattered around the mill as is ordinarily The
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Ear of the Mary ana Agricultural Socie at the
OHIO State Fair ard elsewhere, s Of which 1t establish
ed It's superiority DO not hesitate emphaticay TO pro
Dounce preeminenty superior to any and all other
crushers OF the cay independent of its moveabe grndg
rings which feature Of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the EXCELSIOR and s other cOrncrushes so broad
as render comp rson superb ous ano, an evidence
OF our sincerity, hereby anuOunce that We Will give
silver cup any Corn Crusher that be produced Of
the same size and same length OF lever, that Will grind
timer and faster than the Excelsior time and place
10 be agreed upon.
Capacity OF grinding corn and cobs with tive horses
from is % and viii horse from 10 bushels per

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
hears,
Compared soih that # 0tker NILS in uss at this time
1t has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
eTal expectation, that Mills for grinding Corn
etc, to the work properly, will not last than two
Years Ia Of this iact the inventor OF the Excelsior
hIl has labored 10 produce machine that will be more
economical and at the same time more 5ctual The tO-
lowing estimate will show he of grinding with each
Of the Mlls now in for ten years:
Cost Of Excelsior Mill, $50, including extra set of
Grinding PaIes which mas 1t good for years Cost
OF repairs Tor years a. making for ten years $59
Cost OF commOa Mills with any extras, says Si4-
Cost t running the TO- years. SUI sing that the
Mill vii last long the ExceaiOr Mill without repairs,
Say 10 be renewed two years, which IN this case
must be done al the OF machine each tme
SIG making TOR the years cost OF 1920 This same
rne will apply oany and all of the Mills III use which
come eou petition With the Excelsior Mill
Farmers others in want mills for grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will by the above estimate the Ex-
cesOr Mill can be used for the purpose required at less
than third the expense OF other Mill ID
This Mil may be put up in few minutes by any ordi.

each MILL
rhs undersigned having purchased the right TO The
above Mill in Middle Tennessee take pleasure in introduc
ing it the public believing 10 all thai is claimed
for it, and well worthy the attention of every Farmer,
