we vned States standing as it does at the head of the

exempt from the defects ofany, and possessing many new
valuable and distinguishing features Of which all others
are destitute.
We have remarked that fhe great and heretofore nsur
mountable oil lection, urged with much force against
cstiron mills was their papabe deficiency in durability
TO remove this OF 4ction desideretum long sought
for, and which has been length attained in the Excel

moyeable rings, made in hard and superior metal and
WHICH, when worn out be replaced In five minutes by
new rings at cost CT S. which makes the mill good

sets ot grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal to Two mills This recu isrity, possessed BY

Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
think will secure just consideration of merit is
In its being provided with meal conductor by of

nounce preeminently superior to any and all other
crushers OF the day. independent of It's movable grinding
rings, which feature OK itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other corncrushers broad
