INHE above cut represents recent and valuable i'm

most formidable of which their of durability OF
liability soon to wear out he again went to work with the
view OF removing the features. In February
1855 be succeeded in obtaining letters patent for the Ex

the United States standing it does the head of the

Veusoe ana distinguishing features, OF which all others
are destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore insur.

To remove this ctlon deside ,tum long sought

moVeable rings ma0e n hard and superior metal and
which, when worn out can be rapa cd five minutes by
new rings, at cost Of g. wrc the mill as good
as new, there being no 9TH" tablet to out Two
sets OF grinding rings 4c1Jnpaly each mill making it
equal to two mills. This popularity, 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 in this mill and one which
we think viii for it just consideration of merit
In It's 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

ed its superiority do not hesitate emphaticay to pro-
nounce pre-eminenty superior to any and all other
