THE FARMING COMMUNITY, having
become generally convinced Of the great ad-
vantage Of grinding Corn and Cob for Stock,
the only question to be considered is which Is
the best Mill for the purpose! In all the
cast iron Mills heretofore offered, a very ser-
GUS objection has existed, a want ofdurability,
or liability soon to wear out. In the excel
sior" that objection is removed: The grinding
surface, which is the only part liable to wear
out, consists of rings and casts separate from
the mill, and when worn out can be removed
and replaced at a cost of three dollars. This
mill is strong, simple in construction, easily
put up, and can be moved from place to place
without difficulty, and will crush Is bushels
per hour of com and cob for stock, and grind
meal for family use. The Excelsior" was
awarded the highest premium at the great tri.

High Prices.

The Nashville Union and American
says: "There are many reasons for believ.
ing that the present prices Of provisions
will still continue. They are still high,
but are not likely, to be much reduced for
a year or two. The population of our
cities all over the Union is increasing
fast, making the consumption of food
greater every year. The stock of cattle,
hogs and sheep, it is said have not in
creased in an equal proportion. The for
eigs demand for our breadstufs will al
ways be large. The population of the
whole Union will by 1850 be considera
bly, over thirty millions, while but ter
years ago it was but little over twenty
millions. There will thus be one.hal
more people to feed, and rapidly as thu
West is filling up and the farming inter
est extending, the increase Of production
does not exceed the increase Of the con
sumers. Were the population statona
ny, or nearly so, then there might be ever
a superabund Of food. But as it is
there is no chance for it,"
