The undersigned has obtained letters patent to
enable common Mill stones (or rocks) now in use,
to grind CORN, COB and SHUCK, into meal,
for horses, mules, cattle, hogs, &C. thereby saving
more than one third of crop, which is an mper--
tant item with planters. The machinery used for
the above purpose is simple and durable; and can
not, with fair means, get out of order. 1t will last
as long the stones last, with an expense Of so
cents every five years. To enable the common
mill stones to grind ear corn into meal, requires NO
new buildings OF extra power. 1t can also be ap-
piled to horse mills, threshing machines, gins OF
grind one-ihird more of corn meal by the intro
duction of this machinery, and can be changed
from grinding corn cob, and shuck to grinding
corn meal in the space of thirty seconds. Corn
alone when fed to STOCK is said to be by the most
practical and scientific planters constpating in its
effects, producing founders cholics and various
other malades which are incident to stock Grind
ing coSs and shuck with the corn makes food
congenial with their nature, and cannot produce
any of the serious results above mentioned. Stock,
when fed on corn exclusively, are deprived of the
benefits of distension $50 necessary to the proper
health of animals by their being unable to eat
sufficient bulk TO produce 6istension before the
animal becomes goFged. Cobs ground with the
corn produce this necessary dIstension, without
any danger ef diseases arising from oVereating.
Corn cob and shuck meal is improved by scaIding,
and still more by boiling, and yet more by parti
al fermentation. All the preparations facilitate
digestion for hogs. But horses and mules will
not eat fermented food, consequently :bey will re-
quire it dry partially wet with cold water.
Horses, mules and oxen, when fed with unground
food, void much in an undigested state, which is
of course lost for all beneficial purposes.

leigh, and all calls will be attended to punctuaIly
and with despatch by himself or agent.

Having been solicited by Maj Collins 10 have
my Mill adjusted 10 grind Corn in the Ear and
Shuck, Isconsented that be should do so as an ex-
pertinent; and l am able to saJ that it grinds
Corn in the Shuck atthe rate Of 80 bushels per
hour; and the dressing of the is so improv-
ed that it grinds shelled Corn more than twice as
fast as before. and by my watch at the rate of Is
bushels perhOur, and the meal finer than usual. /
deem it a valuable improvement and shall pur-
chase the right to use It, as it will afford me a
speedy way Of feeding my horses and cattle, and
save much thereby.
