iron mills their DdLDIbte dehcieH ia dgrdbiitV. To
remove this objection deideraum long sought for and
which has been at length attained in the Excelsior MILL O
the grinding surface Of which consists in movable rings made
Of hard and superior metal and which, out
be replaced in five minutes by rings, Of 1900,
which makes mill good new there being other part
liable to wear out Two sets Of grinding rings accompany
each MILL making it equal two mills This popularity pos
by other MILL should be overlooked by purchas
nsures durability, consideration Of all others the
most imp rtant.
Another interesting feature in this MIL and one which we
think viii secure for II just consideration Of merit is in its
being provided with meal conductor of which the
meal Is discharged into hatbushe instead Of being scat
tered around the mill, as is ordinarily the
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills the
