TINE above cut represents recent and valuable i'm
L provement By Charles Leavitts in PORTABLE
GRAIN MILLS, adapted 70 crushing Corn and Cob
together for stock and grinding Meal for family Mr..
Lsavfrt being the original inventor of this kind Of
chine nd from long experience with sast iron
ers finding that ali Of Them liable to objseions the
most formidable Of which their want of DURABILITY or
liability TO ont he again went 70 work with the
view ofrem0vng the Questionable featarss In February
1885, hesuceesded in obtaining letter patent for the Ex
celsor Corn and Cob Mill and has the satisfaction
of being able to present the above Mill to the farmers Of
the United States standing as 1t does at the head of the
list combining the good qualities of ALL
esemu from the defects ofany, and possessing many
valuable and distinguishing features c which all others
are destitute. g
We have remarked that ts great and here toore nsur
mouniaole objection, uSged with much force against
cstiron mills, zr pslpable deficiency durability.
To remove this objection desdeatum long sought
an6 which has been at length attained IN the Excel
moveabe rings, made In hard and superior metal and
which, when worn out be repla ed in i've minutes by
rev rings at cost of 3D. which makes the mill good
new there being no other part lsbeio wear out Two
setts of grinding rings accompany each mill making il
equal to two mills. This peculiarly possessed by no
oher mill should not be overlooked by purchasers 1t
insures durability, consideration of all Others the most
important. ----.- Is
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
we think viii secure for it just consideration of merit is
Ia its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe 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
UhioSata Fair and elsewhere at of which establish
ed its superiority do not hesitate emphacally to
nounce Il preemnenty 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-
as lender comparison superfuous; and as an evidence
OF sincerity, hereby announce that will give
silver cup any Corn Crusher that be produced of
tbs and length of lever that will grind
timer and faster than the Excelsior Of some time place
to be agreed upon.

1t has been proven by experience ad contrary 10 gen.

ysars ln view OF thus TACT the inventor OF M EXCELSIOR
Mill has labored produce machine that

lowing estimate will show he cost Of grindi"g NTH each
of the Mills now in use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior MILL $50, incl y N txtra set of
Grinding Plates which makes 1t g"r Uur years Cost

Cost of running the for ten years. supposng that the
Mill will last long the Exceaior Mill without repairs
say to be renewed every two years. which in this case
must be done at the expense OF machine each time
s76 making for the years cost of $3.50. This
rnle will apply toany and all of the Mills in which
come in composition with the Excelsior Mil
and Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the Ex
eesor Mill be used for the purpose required at less
than third the expense Of other Mill in
This Mill may be put up in few minutes by any ordi

each Mill.
