OF being able to present the above Mill the farmers of
the United States standing it does at the head of the

exemn from the defects ofany and possessing many new
valuable and distinguishing features of which all others
are destitute.
We have remarked that the great and insur
mountable objection, urged with much force against
cast iron mills was their palpabe deficiency durability
10 remove this objection was desideratum long sought
Tor and which has been at length attained in the Excel

moveabe rings, made in hard and superior metal and
Wncn Wnen worn out can be replaced in i've minutes by
new rDgs at cost of S. which makes the mill good
as new there being no other part lsbeto out Two
sets OF grinding rings accompany each MILL making it
equal to two mills This popularity, possessed BY no
oher mill should not be overlooked by purchasers as i.
nsures durability consideration of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
we think will secure for just consideration of merit
In its being provided with meal conductor by means of
which the meal is discharged into half bushel instead
OF being scattered around the MILL as is ordinarily the
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
