LeaVu beng the original inventor of this ud Of a ma
chine, nd from long experience with east iron
er nndlng that all ot them liable objections tn
most formidable OF which their want of durability
inability soon TO wear out he again work with tb
view OF removing the objectionable features. In February
$780, ne succeeded In obtaining letters for the x
ceisIor Corn and Cob MILL and now has the satisfaction
Of beng able to present the above Mill to the farmers
he Uned States standing as it does at the head of h
stm Corn-Crushers, combining the good qualities of all
exemn from the defects ofsny and possessing many
valuable, and distinguishing features of which all other
| are destitute.
We have remarked that the great and usur
mOuntaoie objection, urged with much force against
cstron mills, their pspable deficiency in durability
10 remove this objection desderatum long sought
Tor and which has been at length attained the Excel
sloF Ml only the grinding surface of which consists In
movesbe rings, made in hard and superior metal and
Whc Wnen worn out can be replaced in five minutes by
new rlngs at cost OF S. which makes the mill ss good
as new" there being other part liable 10 Two
setts oil grinding rings accompany each mill making il
equal 10 two mills. This pecuiarity possessed by no
her ml should not be overlooked by purchasers as
nsures durability consideration of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
we think will secure for it just consideration of merit is
In Its being provided with meal conductor by
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
the late Fair of the Maryland Agricultural Society the
OhloSste Fair, and elsewhere at all Of which it establish
ed Its superiority do not hesitate emphstcsy pro-
nounce preemnenty superior any and all other corn
crushers OF the day independent of its movable grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other crushers broad
as o render comparison superfnous and evidence
OF our sincerity, hereby announce that will give
silver aGy Corn Crusher that be produced of
the size and 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 70 2O and with horse from to 10 bushels per
hour.
Cost OF Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
ears.
Compared lCitt that If other NLs in at this tins
IL has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
eral expectation that cast Mills for grinding Corn
etc. 10 90 the work properly will not last than
years In view of this TACT the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has labOred TO produce machine that will be
economical and at the time more effecual Thefo
loving estimate will show The cost of grinding with each
Of the Mills now ia for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior MILL $50, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes good for years Cost
OF repairs Tor six years $9, making for ten years $59
Cost OF common Mills, without any extras, says ga
Cost m running the for ten years. suppOsg that the
Mall Will last Tonga the Exceaior Mill without repairs
say 10 be renewed every two years. which in this
must be Go0e al the expense OF machine each time,
S6 making for the teu years cost of s22O This same
rnle will apply tOany and all of the Mills which
come IN competition with the Excelsior Mill
Farmers and others in want o. mills for grinding Corn
and Coo etc. will by the above estimate that the EX
eesOr Mill be used for the purpose required at less
tnan one third the expense OF other Mill now
This Mil may be put up in few minutes by any Ordi
nary farm hand printed directions tor which accompany
each Mil.
