the original inventor Of this kind Of machine and from
long experience with cast iron crusher, finding that all Of
them liable objections, the most formidable of which
their want OF durability, or liability soon TO out he
again went to work with the view Of removing the objection
able features In February 1855 he succeeded in obtanns
the "ExcesOr Corn and Cob Mill and
has the satisfaction of being able present the above Mill to
the farmers Of the United States standing does the
head Of the list Of Corn Crushers combining the good quail
ties of ALL exempt from the defects Of any, and possessing
many new, valuable and distinguishing features Of which al
others destitute.
mOuntabe objection urged with much force against cast
iron mills their pdDdbs deficiency IN Durability To
this objection desideraum long sought for and
which has been length attained in the Excelsior MILL Oiy
the grinding surface Of which consists in movable rings made
Of hard and superior metal and which, when out
be replaced IN I'VE minutes by new rings at cost OF $5OO
which makes mill good there being other part
liable to wear out Two sets Of grinding rings accompany
each MILL making equal to two mills This peculiarly pos
essed by other MILL should not be overlooked by purchas
ers, nsures durability, consideration Of all others the
most important.
interesting feature in this mill and one which
think will for it just consideration Of merit is in its
being provided with conductor nymeans of which the
meal discharged into haf6ushe 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
Fair, and elsewhere all Of which established its
superiority, do no. hesitate emphacay to pronounce it
the day independent Of its movable grinding rings which
feature of itself makes the distinction between the Excel
uperuous and evidence Of sincerity, hereby
announce that will give Silver Cup to any Corn Crusher
that be produced Of the size and length Of
lever that viii grind finer and faster than the Excelsior at

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten Years,
Comp Ired NTH that Of the other NiLs IN at Ns time
1t has been proven by experience and contrary genera
expectation, that cast iron mills for grinding do
the work properly will not more than two years In view
this fact the inventor of the Excelsior Mill has abored to
produce machine that will he economical and the
same time more eectua The following estimate will show
the cost Of grinding with each Of the mills for
years.
Cost Excelsior Mil $50 including an extra set Of Grind
ing Plates which makes good for four years Cost Of
pairs for six years 80, making for ten years, i59.
Cost Of common mill, without any extras, say IA Clst

any and all Of the mills in which come in competition
with he Excelsior Mil.
and theirs in Of mills for grinding Corn

Mil can be USE for tn purpose required at ess than
third the expense f any other mill now in use.
This mill may be put up in few minutes by any ordinary
