valuable and distinguishing features, of which all others
are destitute
We have remarked that the great and here tore nsur

To rem his objection iesderatum long sought
for, anG vi oh has been at rg attained in the "Exce

noTesble ring made in hsy and superior metal and
which, when worn out be Teps ed In five minutes BY

sets of grinding rlngs accompany each mill making it
equal to Two mills. This pecusrity, possessed by
insures durability, consideration of all others the

Another interesting feature in this mill and one which
we think will secure tor 1t just consideration Of Cer is
in its being provided with meal conductor, by of
which the meal is discharged into half 5ushe instead
OF being scattered around the mill is ordinarily The
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fair of the Maryland Agricultural Society," the

Compared sD.th that Of other MUS IN at this time
Ii has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
ers expectation that cast iron Mills for grinding Corn
etc. 70 do the work properly will not last than two
years In Of this fact the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has abored to produce machine that will be
economical and the same time eectual The tol
lowing estimate will show the cost of grinding with each
of the Mills now in use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior Mill $50, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes good for years Cost
Of repairs for SIX years. So, making for ten years $59.
Cost of cOmmoR Mills, without any eIrss says $44.-
Cost of running the ten years. suppsng that the
Mill will last longas the Excelaor Mi without repairs
say to be renewed every two years. which in this case
must be done al the expense OF machine each time

come in competition with the Excelsior Mill
