Cf beng able to present the above Mil to the farmers o
the United States standing it does the head of the

EXEMPT from the defects ofany and possessing many
valuable and distinguishing features OF which all others

We have remarked that the great and nsur
mounaoie objection, urged with SO much force sgainst
c4slr mills, was their papabe deficiency in durability.
To remove this lection desideratum long sought
for, and which has been at length attained in the Excel
sOr M only the grinding surface of which consists In
movable rings, made in hard and superior metal and
which, when out be repla 5ed five minutes by
rings at cost of S. which makes the mill good
there being other part liable out. Two
setts of grinding rings accompany each MILL making 1t
equal to two mills This pecuiarity, possessed by no
her MILL should not be overlooked by purchasers it
nsures durability, consideration of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this mill and which
think will secure for 1t just consideration of merit
Ia its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
OF being scattered around the MILL as is ordinarily the
case.
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
