nost formidable OF which was their Of durability or

view oil removing the Objectionable features In February
Io5 succeeded IN obtaining letters patent for the AK
celsor Corn and Cob MILL and now rs The satisfaction
OF being able to present the above Mill the farmers of
the United States standing 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 all others
are destitute
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mOunabe objection urged with 80 much force against
c1stron mills was their papable de6csucy durability
10 remove this objection desderstum long sought
lor and which has been at length attained in the Excel
slor Mill only the grinding surface of which consists In
movesble rings made in hard and superior metal and
which, when worn out can be replaced in five minutes by
new rings, at cost OF 80, which makes the mill good
as new there being no other part liable Two
sets OF grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal 70 Two mills Ths pecularity possessed BY no
nsures durability, consideration of all others the
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
We think will secure for it consideration of merit
In Its being provided with meal conductor, by means of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
OF berg 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," the
OhoStae Fair and elsewhere, at all of which it establish
ed Its superiority we do not hesitate emphatcay to pro-
nounce II preemnenty superior to and all other
crushers of the day. independent of its movable grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other corncrushers SO broad
as orender comparison superhDous snd evidence
OF our sincerity, We hereby announce that will give
silver cup any Corn Crusher that be produced of
the size and length of lever that will grind
inner and faster than the Excelsior at time and place

In view of this TACT the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has labOred to produce machine that will be more
