A Word to Farmers about the "Littls

4 Word to Farmers about the Little
Giant"
The article below. commendatory of
the Little Giant Corn and Cob Mill, is
copied from the Cincinnati Enquirer of
eth December. Mr.. James B.. Chad
wick, of this city, who has the exclusive
right of sale for the same in the West,
informs us that the rapidly increasing
demand for the mill exceeds the ability
of the, manufacturers 10 meet It, With
present facilities, and will necessitate his.
starting, at an early day, foundry IN
this city, in order. to meet the waass oil
his customers with sufficient prompti-
tude. As manufactures of any kind are
beneficial to the growth of alcity, we
should cheerfully accord our encourage
ment; but knowing, as in the present
instance, that this one possesses an espe
cial interest to every tanner and stock
grower in the West, we would DO more
and bespeak for it that attention which
its extraordinary merit deserves
HoNoR TO WHOM HoxoR IS DUE
fHE LITTLE GIANT AHEAD.-We Ike
% perform an act OF justice. and when
III opportunity of doing SO is given Us
ne seize it with avidity. This will be
'urexcuse for writing tie present article
We have noticed for some time past the
lnmanly, not u say unjust, efforts thai
ire being made to ioi>t upon the public
things which are called corn aud cob
#crusiers, but which in reality are'so far
TO the real Little Giant Corn and
Cob Crusher as 10 be unworthy OF the
name they bear.
Now, whatever the owners OF these
mills may say to the contrary, the great
iact exist that the Little Giant is the
original, and Mr.. Scott the real Simon
Pure inventor; all the mills that have
appeared since his invention was first in-
troduced, are but copies of the Little
Giant, and precious poor copies at that.
We have been told that other mills have
taken premiums at Stale Fairs whore the
Little Giant was exhibited. Well, we
don't doubt that they did; but how ?
Perhaps by toasting the corn. as was done
at the exhibition of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Society. report OF the iourti
day proceedings of which fair we find
in the Baltimore American, from which
we clip the following extract. Read it
carefully, aud when you so TO market to
purchase corn and cob mill, remember
that Scott d Hedges have no occasion to
toast their corn the Little Giant, with
a strength worthy of its name, is able to
grind il without submitting tito toast
ing or roasting process AMI, by the
way, those who buy Il toas ing mill, will
be sure to get roasted in their barsain.--
Here is the extract to which We refer:
"There was quite number OF corn
and cob crushers competing for the prize,
one of which, Changers from Phila-
delphia, seemed fora time 10 do more
work than any similar machine. BY ac-
cident it WAS discovered that the corn
had been toasted, which made il easy to
crush. This fact was communicated to
the committee, who called upon the party
in charge of the mill, and directed him
to remove it from the ground, as the
cheat which had been attempted to be
practiced would exclude it altogether
from competition. nor would he be allow
ed a: any future time to deposit any ma
chinery in the exhibitions of the soeir
ety."
This is how premiums have been
filehed from the Little Giant.
The following letter from Hon. Cas-
>ius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky, to Messrs.
Scott q Hedges, is well worthy of Pc
rusal -
