The undersigned has obtained letters patent to
enable common Mill stones Cor 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 impor-
tant item with planters. The machnery used for
the above purpose is simple and durable and can
not with fair means get out of ofder. 1t will last
as long the stones last, with an expense of so
cents every five years. To enable the common
mill stones grind ear corn 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
ducton 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 coustpating in its
effects, producing founders, cholics and various
other maadies which are incident to stock. Grind
ing co6s 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 exclusively, are deprived ef the
benehts of disteRsioh $50 necessary TO the proper
health of animals,) by their being unable to eat
sufficient bulk to produce 6istension before the
animal becomes gorged. Cobs ground with the
corn produce this necessary dlstension, without
any danger of diseases arising from overeatng
Corn cob and shuck meal is improved by scaIdinG
and still more by boiling, and yet more by parti.
al fermentation. ALI the preparations facilitate
digestion for hogs. But horses and mules will
not eat teImented food, consequently :hey will
quire it dry or 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

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 be should do so as an ex-
pertinent; and l am able to say that it grinds
Corn in the Shuck at the rate of 80 bushels per
hour; and The dressing of the stones is so improv-
ed that it grinds shelled Corn more than twice as
fast as before, and by my watch, at the of Is
bushels per hour, and the meal finer than usual.
deem IL a valuable improvement and shall pur-
chase the right to use It, as it will afford me
speedy way Of feeding my horses and cattle, and
save much thereby.
