Bruins New Feed Mill.

We learn that since Mr.. Ener Birum put
his Feed Mill in operation there il pretty
general disposition among the farmers to
use ground feed. Those who try it for any
length Of time are not likely
to feed any whole grain where
they have fair facilities for
settingit ground. The testimony Of all
who have made the experiment is in favor
Of ground feed. as being much better for
animals and saving Of, on al average, SO
per cent. We have read many articles in
agricultural papers, recently, on the sub
ject and they universally concur in stating
that quantity Of unground feed that will
increase the weight one pound will, If
ground, increase it one pound and half.
In regard to ground feed for horses the
london Omnibus Company furnish some
information that is valuable to every one
using horses It had no less than 5000
horses 70 experiment with and their inves-
legations, carried OH during series Of
years and under varios circumstances, show
conclusycly that with work horses there is
a difference Of, at least, one fourth in favor
Of ground feed In addition to the actual
saving in quantity, every farmer knows
the advantage Of ground feed in seeding
time. 1t is generally more convenient T.
feed the whole grain and unless the facili-
ties for grinding it properly are convenient
in the community the majority will not
trouble themselves about it. Mr.. Birum
seems to have given universal satisfaction
TO those who have patronized him rs they
keep it mp and the number increases His
Mill, the "Chalienge Feed Mill" is a No. l.
machine, the very best. It will grind grain
in any condition" i'll grind it we'll where
burrs could not do ii at all-and will do it
without heating. 1t will shell and grind
about twenty five bushels Of corn all hour
and farmer taking u load there can
always get it gr 'und to take back with him
He grinds for the tenth and any one can

ed. BY taking twenty five bushels Of grain
to the Mill the amount received, after de-
Quoting the toll, will be equal to about
thirty three bushels Of the same kind OF
grain unground. These figures would he

in the country. Experiment for yourselves.

New tanning MILL MIR T. R.
King, farmer living three miles west
OF Town, has su invention in the Fan.
ming Mill line that, in cur estimation,
stands good chance to take the lead
Of all other mills Mr.. Bigham has
been using it for several days, cleaning
wheat, at tic old hardware store The
majority OF our citizeus have been in
to sec it work. We have heard
number of persons, who are good lar.
mers and are men of good practical
judgment, express opinions in regard
to it, aud they Invariably pronounced
it the best they have ever seen. Que
Of its chief points OF merit is that it
sacks the grain by means Of an eleva.
tor attached to the side Of the mi !.
That, alone, would commend it to any
farmer as it will save the work Of at
least one mau. The mill runs very
lightly, works rapidly and cleans per
fsctly. We will not undertake to
describe it for. We could not do so intel.
ligibly, but we are satisfied that any
person, who has seen it work, would
purchase in preference to any other
that has ever been brought into this
country. Mr.. King has applied for a
patent and, We presume. will make ar
engagements to have it manufactured.
