valuable and distinguishing features of which all others
are destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore insur.

cAstron mills their papabe deficiency in durability.
To remove this objection desideratum long sought
ior and which has been a length attained in the Excel,
nor Mill only the grinding surface of which consists In
moyeable rings made in hard and superior metal, and
which, when out can be replaced In hive minutes by
new rings alta cost Of s. which makes the mill as good
as new there being other part labeto wear out Two
sets OF grinding rings accompany each mill making 1t
equal to two mills. This peculary, possessed by no
o'her mill should not be overlooked by purchasers as 1t
nsures durability, consideration OF all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this mill, and which
we think will secure for just consideration OF merit Is
in its being provided with meal conductor by means of
which the meal is discharged into hal bushe instead
of being scattered around the MILL is ordinarily the
case.
