MILLS, adapted to crushing Corn and Cob together f

the original inventor this kind Of machne and from
long experience with cast iron cushe finding that all Of
them were liable Objections the most formidable of which
was their want durability liability to out he
again went work with the view Of removing the objection
able features February 1855, he succeeded in obtaining
for the Excelsior Corn and Cob Mill and
has satisfaction Of being able to present the above Mo
the farmers of the United States standing as 1t does at the
head Of the Corn Cushers combining the good qua
all exempt from the defects OF any, and possessing
many new valuable and distinguishing features of which al
We have remarked that great and heretofore nsur
mounabe objection urged with much force against
iron mills was their pdLpGbte deficiency IN Durability. To
remove this objection desderatum long sought for and
which has been length attained in the Excelsior Mill only
the grinding surface Of which consists in movable rings made
Of hard and superior metal and which, when out
be replaced in five minutes by rings at cost Of $780,
which makes mill as good as new there being no other part
liable out Two sets Of grinding rings accompany
mill making it equal to two mills This peculiarly pos
by other MILL should not be overlooked by purcha
ers nsures durability consideration OF all others the
most important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and which
think will secure it just consideration of merit is in its
being provided with meal conductor by Of which the
meal is discharged into habushe 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 it established its
superiority do not hesitate emphacay to pronounce
preemneny superior and all other crushers Of
the day. independent of its movable grinding rings, which
feature itself the distinction between the Excelsior
and all other corn crushers render compare
superuous and evidence Of sincerity hereby
announce that we will give Silver Cup to any Corn Crusher
that be produced Of the and length OF
lever, that will grind finer and faster than the Excelsior at
some time and place to be agreed upon.

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten Years,
Compared sOiM that of the other ALs in at his titus
1t has been by experience and contrary to genera
expectation that cast iron mills for grinding etc. to do
the work properly will not last more than two years In view
Of this fact the inventor OF the Excelsior Mid has labOed to
time more efectual The following estimate will show
the cost of grinding with each Of the mills now in use for ten
years.
Cost of Excelsior Mill $50 including extra Of Grind
ing Plates which makes good for four years Cost Of
pairs for six years, 49, making for ten years, S59.
Cost Of common MILL without any EXTRAS say IA. Cost
Of running the same for ten years supposng that the mill
viii last long the Excelsior Mil without repairs, to
be renewed every two years. which in this case must be done
at the expense Of machine eachme, $176 making for
the ten years cost Of $22G. This rule will apply
any and all of the mills in which in competition
and others in want of mills for grinding Corn and
Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the Excelsior
Mill be used for the purpose required at less than
third the expense Of any other mill now in use
This mill may be put in few minutes by any ordinary
farm hand printed directions for which accompany each mill
