MILLS adapted to crushing Corn and Cob together f..

the original inventor of this kind Of machine and from
long experience with iron cruhers, finding that all Of
them liable objections the most formidable of which
their want Of durability or liability soon to wear out he
again work with the view of removing the objection
able features In February 1902 ne 10 9otnn1
letters patent for the Excelsior Corn and Cob MILL and now
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 Of Corn Crshers, combining the gooo guam
ties of all exempt from the defects Of any, and possessing
new valuable and distinguishing features Of which all
We remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mountabe objection urged with much force against cast
iron mills their pdkDdJe deficiency IN duFdbtEty To
this objection desideraum long sought for and
which has been length attained in the Excelsior MIL 0R
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, cost Of $780,
which makes mill as good as new there being no other part
liable to Two sets Of grinding rings accompany
each MILL making it equal to two mills This popularity
sesse1 by other MILL should not be overlooked by purchas
most important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
think will for it just consideration of merit is in its
being provided with conductor ny Of which the
meal discharged into halbushe 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 all Of which established its
superiority we do not hesitate eTphacay to pronounce
preemnenty superior any and all other crushers Of
the day, independent Of its movable grinding rings which
feature sefmakes distinction Excelsior
and all other crushers broad to render compa
superuous; and evidence Of sincerity hereby
announce that will give Silver Cup 10 any Corn Crusher
that be produced Of the size and length Of
lever that will grind finer and faster than the Excelsior at
some time and place to be agreed upon.
Capacity Ct grinding and cob 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 cih that of the other MUS IN at this time
1t has been proven by enc and contrary
iDdiuu n do
the work properly viii not than years In view
Of this fact the inventor Of the Excelsior Mill has aboed
produce machine that will be economical and the
time etectua. The following estimate will show
the cost of grinding with each Of the mill in for ten
years
Cost Of Excelsior SI $50 including of Grind
rg Plates, which makes it good for four years Cost Of
pairs for six years ~, making for ten years, 49,
Cost OF common mill, without any extras say IA Cost
Of running the for years. suppOsng tina the mill
will last long tn Excelsior Mil without rep rs, say
be renewed every two years which in this must be done
at the expense of machine eachtime S16, making for
the ten years cost Of 1920. This rule viii apply TO
any and all Of the mills now in which come in competition
with the Excelsior Mil
and others of mills for grinding
Cob viii by the above estimate that the Excelsior
Mill can be usei for the purpose required less than
third the expense If any other mill now in use.
This mill may be put up in few minutes by any ordinary
farm hand printed directions 70 which accompany each mill
