sets OF grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal to two mills This peculiarly, possessed by

important.
Another interesting feature in this mill and one which
We think Will secure TOR 1t just consideration Of merit is
ii its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal is discharged into half bushel instead
OF being scattered around the mill, is ordinarily the
case.

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
Years,
Compared acitA that Of other Hills in use al tEs time
Ii has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
eral expectation that cast iron Mills for grinding Gorn
etc. TO do the work properly, will not last than two
years. In view Of this tact the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has lsbored TO produce machine that will be
economical and at the time eectua. The fol-
lowing estimate will show the cost Of grinding with each
Of the Mills now ia use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior Mil, 500, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makesit good for years Cost
Of repairs for six years e. making tOrten years $50
Cost of common Mills, without any extras, says $4
COst of running the for ten years. supposng that the
Mill will last long the Exceaior Mill without repairs
say to be renewed every years, which in this case
must be done the expense of machine each time
SIG, making for the years cost of $220 This
rule will apply any and all of the Mills in which
come in competition with the Excelsior Mill
Farmers and others in want o mills for grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the EK
cesor Mill be used for the purpose required at less
than onethrd the expense of other Mill in
