Of berg able to present the above Mill to the farmers
the United States standing it does at the head of th
list OF ConCTusheTs, combining the good qualities all
EXEMPT from the defects any, and possessing many new
valuable and distinguishing features, of which all Othe
| are destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mOunabe objection, urged with so much force agans
castron Mills their papabe deficiency in durability
10 remove this objection was desideratum long sough;
Tor and which has been at length attained the Excel
sior M only; the grinding surface of which consists In
mOveabie rngs made in hard and superior metal and
which, when worn out be replaced in five minutes by
new rings at cost Of So which makes the mill as good
new there being other part liable wear out. Two
sets oi grinding rings accompany each MILL making ii
equal to two mills. This popularity, possessed by no
her mill should not be overlooked by purchasers as
nsures 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 is
IN its being provided with meal conductor by means of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead

This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fair of the Maryland Agricultural Society the
OhoSate Fair and elsewhere at all of which it establish.

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 SO broad

II has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
eral expectation that cast iron Mills for grinding Corn,
etc. to do the work properly will not last than two
years In Of this TACT the inventor of the Excelsior
Mill has abored to produce machine that will be
economical and at the same time more efectua Thefol-
lowing estimate will show The cost of grinding with each
OF the IlI!s now Ia use for ten years:
Cost Of Excelsior Mill, $50, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes good for years. Cost
