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 a crop, which is an impor-
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 as the stones last, with an expense of so
cents every five years. To enable the common
mill stones 10 grind ear into meal, requires no
new buildings or extra power. 1t also be ap-
piled to horse mills, threshing machines, gins or
any given power known. The same mill will
grind one-third more of corn meal BY the intro
duction of this machinery, and can be changed
from grinding corn cob, and sbuck 10 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, constipating in its
effects, producing founders, cholics and various
other maladies which incident to stock. Grind
ing coos 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
6eae6ts OF distension ESQ necessary to the proper
health of animals, by their being unable TO eat
sufficient bulk to produce Gistension before the
animal becomes gorged. Cobs ground with the
corn produce this necessary dlstension, without
any danger of diseases arising from overeariug.
Corn cob and shuck meal is improved by scalding,
and still more by boiling and vet more by parIi
al fermentation. ALI the preparations facilitate
digestion for hogs. But horses and mules will
mot eat feImented food consequently :hey will
Horses, mules and oxen, when fed with uneround
food, void much in an undigested state, which is
OF course lost for all beneficial purposes.

Raleigh, Feb. 20, 1s45.


Having been solicited by Maj. Collins to have
my Mill adjusted to grind Corn in the Ear and
Shuck, consented that he should do so as an ex-
pertinent; and l am able to say that i, grindfs
Corn in the Shuck~ at the rate Of 80 bushels Der
hour; and the dressing of the stones is so mprov-
ed, that grinds shelled Corn more than twice as
fast before, and by my watch, at the rate of Is
bushels per hour, and the meal finer than usual III
deem il a valuable improvement and shall pur-
chase the right to It, as it will afford me a
speedy way of feeding my horses and cattle, and
save much thereby. ,. -r..., -
