EVERY MAN his OWN MILLER.
EXCELSIOR CORN AND COD MILL
SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW.


Paiened By Gh1rlss Leapitt, February eth, 1855.
THE above cut represents recest and valuable in

Leavitt being the original inventor OF this kind Of ma

ers hnne all Of Them Liable to objections, the
formidable Of which their want OF DURABILITY
liability soon to wear ont he again went work with the
view Of removing the Objectionable features. In February
1885, he succeeded in obtaining letters patent for the SIX

We have remarked that the great and heretofore insu
m0untabe OBJ ection, urged with much force against
iron mills their palpabe deficiency in durability
To remove this objection desideratum long sought
TOR, and which has been at length attained IN the Exce
sor Ml only the grinding face OF which consists In
moveable rings made in harG -nd superior metal and
which, when out can be led in five minutes by
new rings al cost of S. which makes the mill as good
as there being ohe part lableto wear out Two
sets of grinding rings accompany each mill makg 1t
equal to two mills. This pecuIGry, possessed bf no
her MILL should not be ked by purchaser it
insures durability, consider n OF all otis tie most
important.' se.t j gz = EEa. lic.t
Another interesting fea're this mill, and which
we think viii secure Tor it ilst CONFEDERATION Of merit is
il its being provided with neal conductor, by means of
which the meal is discha ged into half bushe Instead
of being scattered around the mil as is ordinarily the
case. -. g.. 30 fr, = f-t!-N -a'I
This mill having been fairly tested with ca mills at
the late Fair Of the Maryland Agricultr at the
Ohio State Fair and elsewhere, at all Il ,ch it establish
ed It's superiority, do not hesitate ephatcay to pro-
nounce preemnenty superior to any and all other core
crushers OF the day. independent of its moveabe grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other corcruShers so broad
!orender comparison super nous and evidence
Of our sincerity, hereby announce that we will give
silver cup any Corn Crusher that be produced Of
the size and same length of lever that will grind
finer and faster than the Excelsior at some time and place
to be agreed upon.
Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with tive horses
from Is 90 and with horse from to 10 bushels per

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
Years, -r ~.
Compared oith that Of other s in use at tbs Time.
1t has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
eral expectation that Mills for grinding Corn
etc. to do the work properly will last than
years In view of this TACT the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has lsbored to produce machine that will be more
economical and at the same time more efectual The fol-
lowing estimate will show he cost of grinding with each
Of the Mills now in for ten years: if'- 20
Cost of Excelsior Mill, $780, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes 1t good for iour years. Cost
of repairs for years. $9 making for years $59
Cost of common Mills, without any extras, says $4
Cost Of running the for ten years. suppOsng that the
Mill will last long the Exceaicr Mill without REPAIRS
say to be renewed every two years, which in this
must be done at the expense of machine each tme
SIG making for the teu years cost of 1920 This
rne will apply toany and all Of the Mills now in use which
come IN competition with the Excelsior Mill
Farmers and others in want mills for grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will see by the above estimate that the Ex-
cesor Mill can be used for the purpose required at less
than third the expense of any other Mill in
This Mill may be put up in few nutes by any ordi-
nary farm hand printed directions for which accompany
each Mill p
The undersigned having purchased the right to the
above Mill in Middle Tennessee take pleasure introduc
ing the public believing be all that is claimed
for it, and well worthy the attention of every Farmer,
