For Grinding 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, $00.

We need but say that where tlie Star Mill has been used, it 

 has gained credit beyond ail other Mills ..ow in use: and the 

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

 vinced that it is jierfei t in its arniiigement from the fact that 

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

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

 and stuck-gruwers can save from 'M to 40 bushels of corn in 

 each lliO by the use of this Mill: (at least we have Bcrtilicates 

 to that ellect.) Persons having (;nco exjierienced its benellt, 

 will never return to the wasteful practice of feeding corn in 

 the ear. 



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

 ily use. 



The Millgriuds from twelve to twenty bushels per bour, 

 and makes an easy draft for two horses. 



We can produce first premiums, diplomas, and recommen- 

 dations too numrrons to mention. 



For full particulars, references and descriptionof Mills. Bee 

 circulars.

UHLER'S PLOAVS 



The Double Curved L'prlgJit Steel Mould 

 Board Plow. 



THE PEOPRIETOR OF THIS SUPERIOR 

 Plow still continues to supply ..^gv 

 the great demand which its merits have >yV ^«.jv,— _w« 

 created. Its combination of rare nd- ^^j^^Sk "^» 

 vantages has recommended it to the tUS^SS^StlSi^^ 

 agricultural community throughout the Slate of Illinois, it 

 is now aclmitted that it has no e(jaal. 



The following note is but one of the many testimonials 

 which have been lurnished the manufacturer of the working 

 of his plows. 



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

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

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

 used. We cheerfully recommend them to the public.

J. J. Short, Dayid N'ewsom, 



John W. I5eck, Uriah Mann, 



John Kftvanaugh, Philemon Stout. 



Sangamon county, .Tan 1'^, 1855. 



From the puculiar form of Uhler's plows they are not ex- 

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

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

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

 several seasons successfully in breaking prairie. Tlie limits 

 of a newspaper .idvertisemeut will not admit of an accurate 

 description of these plows. To see them is tobe pleased with 

 them. 



In addition to the above, the manufacturer ia making 

 wrought iron upright ones, and two-horso plows. 



Also, a superior I'niirio Plow, warranted to be equal to any 

 prairie i>U'-.v nuw in use. Any size that maybe wanted can 

 be bad at short uoticu. A large number of all sizes, kept on 

 hand constantlv. 



Manufactured by JOHN UlILEIl,

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