SOMETHING KNrIRELY NEW

SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW
Patented By Charles Leavi1, February 9th. 1855
NHE above cut represents recent and valuable i'm
| L Provement by Charles Leavitt, in PORTABLE
| ShAIN MILLS, adapted to crushing Corn md Col
together for stock and grinding Meal family use Mr.
Leavtt being the original inventor OF thus kind Of ma
chne nd from long experiences with n corn crush
ers hndlng that all Of them liable TO obe ;tons thu
most formidable of which their want of durability OF
aoly soon to wear out ne again went to work with The
view OF removing the objectionable features In February
1880 he succeeded in obsiong letters r The Ex
celsIor Corn and Cob Mill" and now has The satisfaction
beng able to present the above Mil to the farmers OF
he United States standing it does the head Of the
list Of COrnCrusbers combining the good qualities of all
exemn from the defects any and possessing many new
valuable and distinguishing features of which all others
are destitute.
We have remarked that the great and nsur
mountaole objection, urged with much force against
cstlron mills their palpabe deficiency in durability
To remove this obj.con was desideratum long sought
tor and which has been ct length attained in the Excel
sor Mill only the grinding surface of which consists In
noVeabe rings, made in hard and superior metal and
which, when worn out be repla ed in five minutes by
new rings at cost of g which makes the mill as good
as new there being ne other part liable out Two
setts OF grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal TO mills This pecu isrity possessed by no
her mill should not be overlooked by purchasers as it
nsures durability, consideration Of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature n this mill and one which
weshnk will secure for just consideration of merit is
IN its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal is discharged into half bushel instead
oil 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," al the
OhOSste Fair and elsewhere all of which establish
ed It's superiority not hesitate emphsticaly pro
nounce Preemineny superior to any and all other
crushers OF the day independent of it's movable grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other crushers broad
as % render comparison superhnous anu evidence
OF our sincerity, hereby announce that will give
silver cup to ahy Corn Crusher that be produced of
the size and same length of lever, that will grind
finer and faster than the Excelsior time and place
10 be agreed upon.
Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with TIVE horses
from Is TO 90 and with horse from 10 bushels per
hour.
Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
iears,
Compared 0:h that # other MIS- in use at is time
1t has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
era expectation that cast iron Mills for grinding Corn
etc. to do the work properly, will not last than
years In view of this tact the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has labOred 10 produce machine that will be more
economical and st the same time efectual The fol-
lowing estimate will show The cost Of grinding with each
of the Mills now il use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior Mill, $780, including extra set of
Grinding Plates, which 1t good for Cost
of repairs or six years So making Orten years $59
Cost of common Mills, without any extras, says S-
Cost Of running the for years. suppOsng that the
Mill will last long the Exceaior Mill without rep airs
10 be renewed every two years, which in this
must be done at the expense OF machine each tme
Sl76 making Tor the eu years cost of 1920. This
rne will apply and all Of the Mills III which
come in competition with the Excelsior Mill
Farmers and Others IN want o mills for grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the Ex
celsor Mill be used for the purpose required less
than one third the expense of other Mill in
This Mill may be put up in few m nutes by any ordi-
nary farm hand printed directions for which accompany
each Mill.
