EVERY MAN RIs OWN MILLER.
EXCELSIOR CORN AND COB MILL
SOMETHING KErIRELY NEW.

Pdtented by Charles LeaviH, February 27th, 1855.
rTNHE above cut represents recent and valuable i'm
l. provement by Charles Leavitt IN F0RTABLE
GRAIN MILLS, adapted TO crushing Corn and Cob
together for stock and grinding Meal for family use Mr.
Leavt being the original inventor Of this kind Of
chine and long experience with 1ast iron eorncrash
er finding that ell Of Them were liable to objections the
most formidable Of which their want of durability or
liability soon ont he sain work with the
view OF removing the Questionable features In February
1885, be succeeded in obtaining for the SEX
cesior Corn and Cob Mill and has the satisfaction
of being able to present the above Mill to the farmers
the United States standing does the head of
list Of combining the good qualities Of a
EXEMPT 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 heretofore nsur-
mountebie objection urged with much force against
cast mills was their pspable deficiency in durability
To remove this objection desderaum long sought
ior and which has been at length attained in the "Exce
NOR hl only; the grinding surface of which consists In
noveabe rings made in hard and superior metal and
which, when out be repla led In five minutes by
new rings at cost Of $s which makes the mill good
as new there being other part liable to out Two
sets of grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal to two mills. This pecuisrity, possessed by no
other mill should not be overlooked by purchasers as
insures durability consideration Of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and which
we think will secure for il ast consideration of merit Is
ia its being provided with meal conductor by means OF
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
of being scattered around the mill as is ordinarily the
caEe PIG Il.
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fair of the Maryland Agricultural Society at the
Ohio Fair and elsewhere at all Of which it establish
ed its superiority do not hesitate emphatcay to pro-
nounce preemneny superior to 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 cornrushers so broad
70 render comparison superfnous and as an evidence
Of our sincerity, hereby announce that we will give
silver cup Corn Crusher that be produced OF
the and length Of lever that will grind

Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with tive horses
from is 20 and with horse from to 10 bushels per
hour.

ersl expectation that cast iron Mills for grindg Corn
etc. to do the work properly, will not last two
In view of this TACT the Inventor OF the Acesor
Mill has lsbored to produce machine that viii be more
economical, and at the same time eff Thefo
lowing estimate will show The cost Of g'In with each
of the Mills in use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior MILL $50, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes good for years. Cost
of repairs for six years. 49, making for ten years. S59
Cost of common Mills, without any extras, says IA
Cost of running the for ten years. suppsng that the
Mill will last as long as the Exceaior Mill without repairs
say to be renewed every two years. which in this
must be done at the expense OF new machine each tme
S76 making for the teu years cost OF 1920 This same
rule will apply toany and all Of the Mills IN 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
cesior Mill be used for the purpose required st less
the expense of any other Mill in use.
This Mill may be put up in few minutes by any ordi
nary farm hsnd printed directions for which accompany
each Mill.
