The Directors foci justifie.l in recommcmling this company to 

 the favorable consideration of the citizens of Illinois. Every 

 one insured becomes a member, the company In-ing an as- 

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

 suring his neighbor. As the indemnilication fund augments 

 in exact ratio witli the increase of risks, the cai>itat of tiie 

 company It comparatively exhau-!tle->s; and the entire safety 

 of tliu iustitatiuQ must be apparent to every one who rciuls 

 the charter. 



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

 italniDst inexcusable for tlie owners of insurable property 

 not to avail themselves of its protection.

For Grinding 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 manufacturer's retail price, 

 which is, for the mill complete, $00. 



Orders, or letters of inquiry should be addressed to 



HUNT, PYKE & Co., Springfield, 111. 



We need but say that where the Star Mill has been tiscd, it 

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

 faruK^r only needs to see and try it in order to become con- 

 vinced that it is iierfert in its arrangement from the fact tliat 

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

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

 anil stock-growers can save from 30 to 40 busliels of corn in 

 cacli 100 by the use of this Mill; (at least wo have eortificates 

 to that effect.) Persons liaving once experienced its benefit, 

 will never return to the w.istcful practice of feeding corn in 

 the ear. 



It willuudonbtodly make good meal of shelled corn for fam- 

 ily use. 



The Mill Rrinds from 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 in operation by calliug at the Agricultural Store of

UHLER'S PLOWS 



The Double Curved Uprlgiit Steel Mould 

 Board Plow. 



THE PROPRIETOR OF THIS SUPERIOR 

 Plow still continues to supply.. 

 the great demand which its merits have 

 created. Its combination of rare ad- 

 vantages has recommended it to the 

 agricultural community throughout the State of llliuois, it 

 is now admitted that it has no equal. 



The following note is but one of the many testimonials 

 which have been iurnishedtho manafiicturer of the working 

 of his plows. 



Wecertify that we have lately used the above plows, manu- 

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

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

 used. We cheerfully recommend them to the public.

Sangamon county, Jan 1", 1855. 

 TFrom the peculiar form of Uhler's plows they are not ex- 

 colled by any other now in tise. It scours very bright, sheds 

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

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

 several seasons successfully in breaking prairio. The limits 

 of a newspaper advertisement will not admit of an accurate 

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

 them. 



In aHdition to tlie above, the manufacturer is making 

 wrought iron upright ones, and two-horse plows. 



Also, a sui)eri<>r Prairie Plow, warranted to be equal to any 

 prairie plcw now in uso. Any size that may be wanted can 

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

 hand constantlj". 



Manufactured by JOHN UIILER, 



Springtieirt, III., at whoso establishment these favorite plows 

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