LEAVIT' 'SImproved Portable mill and Corn snd

oob nrusher.if~ H valuable improvement in Portable Mill,

. adapted to the various Grinding and Crushingpurposes ofa Farm, which are lnow required, at

Sfound so profitable in the improved modes of feedingstock. It is the invention of Mr CHaRLEs Lxsvrr,of Quincy, Ill., who obtained a Patent thereon, isJuly, 1852.

This Mill differs from those of ordinary construe.tion, in having the relative position of the grindingsurface reversed; that is. the external hollow caosor concave grinder is made to revolve on the innere or convex cone, which is itself stationary, and msformed with an internal cavity, that it may berea.dily and securely fixed c• a post, or any tree stumpwhich 4y stand convln!i:nt, rnd thus all exteriorframing, as well as shafts or spindles are entirelydispensed with; and the lever to which' the hereare connected for giving the motion to the Mill, isattached directly to the concave.

The adjusting apparatus is also simple and ,fer.tual, and as worked from above without interferingwith the operation of the Mill. By it the Millismade capable of application to a vast range of par.poses, as well as being made to grind coarse or• se,as desired. Among the uses to which this M.ilisadptdaed are the following: Shelling corn, grindingor crushing corn and cob together, grinading mesfrom corn and other grains.Thii formof Mill is so simple in its conetructies

and so few in its parts, that it can be furnisahd atvery low price, whe,, ne vaiie of the services aperforms is conside ,1, and for the :.arne reasons itis durable and unlikey; to get out of repair

It is a well known :act amonig Scientific Farm.era, that one bushel of corn groand. i~ worth two inthe ear, to feed hogs or cattle, and will fatten eitherin one-third less time.
