CORN AND COB MILL.


THE above cut represents recent and valuable improve
j ment by CHARLES LEAvrrT, in PORTABLE GRAIN
MILLS adapted TO crushing Corn and Cob together for
stock and grinding Meal for family Mr. Leavtt being
the original inventor Of this kind Of machine, and from
long experience with cast iron crushes finding that all Of
them we're liable to objections the most formidable which
their Of durability liability to out he
again work with the view Of removing the objection
abIe features In February 1S5 he succeeded in obtaining
letterspatent "Excelsio Corn and Cob Mill and
has the satisfaction Of being able to present the above Mill to
the Farmers of the limited States standing as does Al The
head Of the list of Corn Crsher combining the good quail
ties of ALL exempt from the defects Of any, and possessing
valuable and distinguishing features of which all
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mounab objection urged with much force against cast
iron mills was their I"tDdbl4 dcielcg SR dardbqtty To
this objection deSideratm long sought for and
which has been at length attained in the Excelsior MILL only
the grinding surface of which in movable rings made
Of hard and superior metal and which, when worn out can
be replaced in five minutes by rings at Of $780,
which makes mil good new there being other part
liable 10 wear ou Two sets oil grinding rings accompany
each MILL making equal to two mills This popularity pos
sessed by other MILL should not be overlooked by purchas
as insures 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 in its
being provided with meal conductor by Of which the
meal discharged into halfbushel instead OF being scat
tered 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 Ohio
State Fair and elsewhere at all Of which established its
superiority, do hesrae emphatcay to pronounce it
preemneny superior and all other crushers Of
the day. independent Of lis movable grinding rings which
feature of itself makes the distinction between the Excelsior"
and all other crshers broad to render compar
son superuou and as an evidence Of sincerity we hereby
announce that will give Silver Cup any Corn Crusher
that be produced Of the size and length Of
lever that viii grind finer add fsr than the Excelsior at
some time and place to be agreed upon.
Capacity Of grinding and cobs with two horses from
Is to 90 and with horse from to 10 bushels per hour
Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten Years,
Compared Nth that of The other is IN at tais time
IL has been proven by experience and contrary general
expectation, that cast iron mills for grinding do
the work properly will not ss than years In view
Of this fact the inventor of the Excelsior Mill has abored to
produce machine that will be economical and the
time efectual The following estimate will show
the cost OF grinding with each Of the mills in use for ten
years.
Cost of Excelsior Mil $50 including set of Grind
ing Plates which makes good for four years Cost Of
pairs for six years, 80, making for ten years, $50.
Cost Of common MILL without any extras, say az Cost
Of running the same for ten years suppOsng thai the mill
viii last AS long as the Excelsior Mill without repsirs TO
be renewed two years. which in this must be done
at the expense Of machine eachne s76 making for
the ten years cost OF t220 This same rule will apply TO
and all Of the mills in which come in competition
with the Excelsior Mill.
Farmers and others in want of mills for grinding Corn and
Cob etc. will see by the above estimate that the Excelsior
Mil 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 ordinary
farm hand printed directions for which accompany mill
