Vt'e need but say th.it wli'-re the Star Mil! has been tised, it 

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

 farmer only needs lo see and "ry it in order to become con- 

 vinced that it is perfec t in its umiiigement from the (act tiiat 

 it grinds green ts well as old corn, (corn and cob pn.'-sing 

 thiougli it together,) which no other .Mill will do. 1-arniers 

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

 each loo by the use of tliis Mill; (at least i*;e liave certiticales 

 t,i lliat efl'ect.) I'ersous having r,nco expwienced its benetlt, 

 w ill never return to the wasteful practice of feeding corn in 

 tlie ear. 



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

 ily use.

 and makes an ea^y draft lor two licrses. •

 created. Us combination of rare ad-

The following note is but one of the many testimonials 

 which have been luruished the maualacturer of the working 

 of his plows. 



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

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

 are iu all respects, superior to any other plows we Imve ever 

 used. We cheerlully recommend them to the public.

From the peculiar forui of Uhler's plows they are not ex- 

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

 o!f stnbtjles admirably, and runs light and easy to the team. 

 The largest sized twohorse plow of this kind, has been used 

 several seasons successfully in bn-aking prairie. The limits 

 of a newspaper advertisement will not admit of an accurate 

 description of these plows. To see them is lobe pleaaed with 

 them. 



In addition to the above, the manufacturer ia making 

 wrought iron uprigiit ones, and iwo-hoise plows. 



Also, a superior i'rairie i'low. warranleil to l>e equnl to any 

 prairie pl.-w now in use. Any size that may be wanted can 

 be had at short notice. A large uuiubtr of all sizes, kept on 

 hand constantly.
