'HE above cut represents recent and valuable improve
j. ment by CHARLES LEAvTT in p PORTABLE GRAIN
MILLS, adapted to crushing Corn and Cob together To-.
stock and grinding Meal for family Mr.. Leavtt beng
the original inventor Of this kind Of machine, and from
long experience with cast iron crushers finding that all OF
them liable to objections, the most formidable Of which
their want Of durability or liability soon to wear out he
again TO work with the view Of removing the objection
able features in February 1855 he succeeded obtaining
letters patent for the Excelsior 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 Cruser combining the good quail
ties all exempt any and possessing
many valuable and distinguishing features Of which al
others are deetttnte.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore insur-
mountable objection urged with much force against
iron mills, their pdipGbLe decieRt tn durability. To
this objection desderatum long sought for and
which has been at length attained in the Excelsior Mill only
the grinding surface Of which consists in movable rings made
Of and superior metal and which, when out
be replaced in five minutes by rings cost Of $780,
which makes mill good new there being no other part
liable to Two sets Of grinding accompany
each MILL making il equal mills This popularity pos
sesel by no other MILL should not be overlooked by purchas
il nSures durability, consideration Of all others the
most important.
Another interesting feature n this mil. and which
think will for II just consideration Of merit, in its
being provided with meal conductor, Of which the
discharged into halbushe instead Of being scat
tered around the mill, as Is ordinarily the case
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at the
Fair Of the Maryland Agricultural Society at the Ohio
Pair and elsewhere, all Of which established its
superiority do hesae emphaticay 10 pronounce Ii
preemnenty superior TO any and all other crusher Of
the day, independent uf its movable grinding rings which
feature Of itself makes the distinction between the Excear
and all other cruhers broad render oompari
superuous; and evidence Of sincerity, hereby
IN will give Silver Cup any Corn CrusheT
