LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIREl 



The Directors feel justified in recommending tliis company to 

 the tavorable consideration of the citizens of Illinois. Every 

 one insured becomes a metnber. thu coni|)auy being an as- 

 sociation of customers— each of whom is concerned in in- 

 suring his neighbor. As tlie indenuiitication fund augments 

 in exact ratio witli the increase of risks, the capital of the 

 company it comparatively uxhaustless; and the entire safety 

 of tiio in.->titutioa must be apparent to every one who reads 

 the charter. 



Tlie cost of insuring in this company is so low, as to render 

 it aim )st iuexcn.siil)le for the owners of iusarable property 

 not to avail themselves of its protection.

For Griudlng Corn, Cob, Hominy or Meal and 

 General Stock Feed. 



WE DELIVER THIS MILL AT ANY 

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

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

 which is, for the mill compKte, ${Hi. 



Orders, or letters of inquiry should be addressed to 



IIU.NT, I'YKK & Co., Springfield, 111. 



We need but say that where the 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 perfe< t in its arrangemeut from the tnct that 

 it grinds green is well as old corn, (corn and cub pasMUg 

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

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

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

 to that effect.) Persons having onco experienced 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 Millgrinds from twelve to twenty bushels per hour, 

 and niakesan easy draft for two horses. 



We can produce first premiums, diplomas, and recommen- 

 dations too numerous to mention. 



For full particulars, refereucus and description of Mills, see 

 circulars.

 see one inopeiatiou by calling at the Agricultural Store of

 Plow still continues to supply, 

 the great demand which its merits have 

 created. Itii combination of rare ad- 

 vantages has recommended it to the 

 agricultural community throughout the State of Illinois, it

The folluwiug note is but one of the ni.tny testimonials 

 which have been turnishedtho uiauafacturer of the working 

 of his i)lows. 



We certify that wo liave lately used the above plows, manu* 

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

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

Sangamon county, Jan 1", 1865. 

 "From the peculiar form of Uhler'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 

 sevb-ral 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 tobo pleased with 

 them. 



In addition to the above, the manufactnrer is making 

 wrought iron upright ones, and two-horse plows. 



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

 prairie pK'W now in use. Any size that may be wanted can 

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

 hand constantly. 



.Manufactured by JOHN UIILER, 



Springtiebl, 111., at whoso ostablishnient these favorite plows 

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