For Griudlug Corn, Cob, Hominy or Meal and 

 General Stock Feed. 



WE DELIVER TUIS MILL AT ANY 

 point, or from our wagons, that run through the dif- 

 ferent parts of the country, at the manufacturer's retail price, 

 which is, for the mill complete, $GU. 

 Orders, or letters of inquiry should be addressed to 



■ IIU.N'T, PVKK k Co., Springfield, 111. 



We need hut say that where the Star Mill has been used, It 

 has gained credit beyond ail other Mills ijOW in use; and the 

 farmer only needs to Bee and try it in order to become con- 

 vinced that it is perfect in its arrangement from the fact that 

 it grinds green ta well as old corn, (corn and cob passing 

 through it together,) which no other Mill will do. Farmers 

 aud stock-growers can save from 30 to 40 bushels of corn in 

 each 100 by the use of this Mill; (at least wo have certificates 

 to that efl'ect.) I'ersons having onco experienced its bcuellt, 

 will never return to the wasteful practice of feeding corn iu 

 the ear. 



It will undoubtedly make good meal of shelled corn for fam- 

 ily use. 



The Millgrindsfrom twelve to twenty bushels per hour, 

 and makes an easy draft for two horses. 



We can produce first premiums, diplomas, and recommen- 

 dations too numerous to mention. 



For full particulars, references and descriptionof Mills, see 

 circulars.

 see one iu opeiation by calling at the Agricultural Store of

 Board Plow. 



THE PROPRIETOR OF THIS SUPERIOR 

 Plow still contlnne. to supply 

 tlie greatdemaud which its merits have 

 created. Its combination of rare ad- 

 vantages has recommended it to tlio 

 agricultural community throughout the Slate of Illinois, it 

 is now admitted that it has no equal. 



The following note is but one of the many testimonials 

 which have been furnished the manafacturer of the working 

 of his plows. 



We certify that we have lately used the above plows, manu- 

 factured by Mr. John Uhler, aud we would state that they 

 are in all respects, superior to any other plows we have ever 

 used. We cheerfully recommend them to the public.

Sangamon county, Jan 1'^, 1855, 



From the peculiar form of Dhler's plows they are not ex- 

 celled by any other now in use. It scours very bright, sheds 

 off stubbles admirably, and runs light and easy to the team. 

 The largest sized two-horse plow of this kind, has been used 

 several seasons successfully in breaking prairie. The limits 

 of a newspaper advertisement will not admit of an accurate 

 description of these plows. To see them is to be pleased with 

 them. 



In addition to the above, the manufacturer it making 

 wrought iron upright oues,and two-horsd plows. 



Also, a superior Prairie Plow, warranted to be equal to any 

 prairie plow now in use. Any size that maybe wanted can 

 be had at short uotictt. A large number of all sizes, kept on 

 hand constantlv. 



Manufactured by JOHN UHLER, 



Springfield, III., at whose establishment these favorite plowi 

 can be had, from a single one to a number unlimited.
