gNHE above cGt represents recent and valuable im

GRAlN MILLS, adapted to crushing Corn and Cob
together for Stock and grinding Neal for family Mr.
le2Vlii being the original inventor of this kind OF
ehne nd ong experiences with cast iron n.crush
ers, hndne thai all Of them liable to objections the
riost formidable of which their want of durability
liability soon 10 out he again work with the
view OF removing the Objectionable features. In February
1892 lie succeeded IN obtaining letters patent for the Eek
celsor Corn and Cob MIL ard now has he satisfaction
Of being able to present the above Mill ,he insrs vi
the United States standing it does The head of the
l5tof CornCrushers, combining the good qualities of ALL
exeDt from the defects any and possessing many
valuable and distinguishing features Of which all others
destitute,
We have remarked that the great and heretofore insur
mOuna5e objection urged with so much force against
cast iron mills r papable deficiency in durability
To this c. was desideTs nm long sought
for, and which at length alta. j in the Excel.
SiOr Ml only; 7dng surface which consists In
mOTeable rings made hard and superior meta, and
which, when worn out, C be replaced five minutes by
rings, at cost of s. which les ths mill good
as new, there being no other .Iableto wear out Two
sets OF grinding rings ac7 p4aY each mill making it
equal to mills. This peculsrty, possessed by no
her i should not be overlooked by purchasers az it
nsnres durability consideration Of all Others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this mill and which
think will secure for jus! consideration of merit is
in its icing provided with meal conductor by means of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
OF being scattered around the MILL as is ordinarily the
case. ..
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late FAIR Of the Maryland Agricultural Society," at the
OhOSste Fair and elsewhere at all of which establish
ed its superiority we do not hesitate emphatcay 10 pro-
neunce preeminenty superior 10 any and all other
crushers Of he day. independent Of its movable grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other crushers broad
as .OrendeT comparison superfnous ana, evidence
Of our sincerity hereby announce that we will give
