THE above cut represents q recent and valuable i'm
! L provement by Charles Leavitt in PORTABLE
GRAIN MILLS, adopted to crushing Corn and Cob
together for stock and gading Meal for family Mr.
Leavltt being the original inventor OF this kind of
chime nd from long experien with east iron corncrush
erS finding that all Of them liable to objections the
most formidable of which their want of durability
liability soon to out he again went 10 work with the
view Of removing the objectionable features In February
1885, he succeeded in obtaining tent for the sex
ceslor Corn and Cob MILL" and O nAs the satisfaction
Of being able to present the above Mill TO the farmers of
the United States standing il does at the head of the
list Of CornCrushers combining the good qualities of ALL
exemnt from the defects ofany and possessing many new
yauab and distinguishing features of which all others
destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore insur
mountable objection, urged with much force against
clsirOn mills their palpabe deficiency in durability
To remove this objection desideratum long sought
tor and which has been at length attained in the Excel
sOr Mill" only the grinding surface of which consists In
movable rings, made in hard and superior metal, and
which, when out be replaced in five minutes by
rings at cost of S3 which makes the mill good
as new there being no other part liable to wear out Two
sets OF grinding rings accompany each MILL making it
equal to two mills This peculiary, possessed by no
her MILL should not be overlooked by purchasers, it
nsures durability consideration of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
think will for just consideration of merit is
IN its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal is discharged into half bushel instead
OF being scattered around the MILL as is ordinarily the
case
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fair of the Maryland Agricultural Society," at the
OhoSate Fair and elsewhere at all of which establish
ed its superiority do not hesitate emphatcsy to pro-
preeminently superior to any 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 crushers broad
as % render comparison superhnous and, evidence
OF our sincerity hereby announce that will give
silver cup Gny Corn Crusher that be produced of
the same size and same length of lever, that will grind
faster than the Excelsior at some time and place
to be agreed upon.
Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with tive horses
from Is TO 30 and with horse from to 10 bushels per
hour.
Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
Years,
Compared aoih that Of ether NILS in at this time
1t has been proven by experience and contrary 10
eral expectation that cast iron Mills for grinding Corn,
years In Of this TACT the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has labored to produce machine that will be more
economical and at the same time eectual. The fol-
lowing estimate will show the cost of grinding with each
Of the Mills now IL use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior Mil, $50, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes good for our years. Cost
of repairs years 49, making for ten years $50.
Cost of common Mills, without any extras says $44.-
Cost Of running the for ten years. supposng that the
Mill will last long the Exceaior Mill without repairs,
say to be every years. which in this
must be done atthe expense of machine each time,
SIG making for the eu years cost of 1920 This same
rne will apply oany and all of the Mills now in use which
cOmeiu 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-
cesOr Mill be used for the purpose required at less
than third the expense OF any other Mill now IN use
This Mill may be put up in few minutes by any Ordi
nary farm hand printed directions for which accompany
each Mill.
