LITTLE GIANT— The. subscribers having se- 

 cured the right from Lyman Scott to manufacture 

 and sell the Corn and Cob Mill, known as the Little 

 Giant, are now prepared to execute promptly, in a 

 ihorough workmanlike manner, all orders, whole- 

 sale and retail, of said Mills. The reputation won 

 by these Mills for the past year throughout the Uni- 

 ted States, is a sufficient guarantee of its utility and 

 established character. It has cost a large amount 

 of money and labor to bring the Mill to its present 

 state of perfection, and is now offered to the Plan- 

 ters, Stock Feeders and others as a complete article 

 of mechanism, simpleand practical in use, durable 

 in construction. It is pronounced by every body 

 to be the most important article of the kind now in 

 use, not only well adapted for grinding cob meal 

 for stock, but grits or fine hominy for the table, &c, 

 &c. The Li i tie Giant received the first premium at 

 the late Agricultural Fairs of Missouri, Kentucky, 

 Maryland and other States, and that in the most 

 complimentary manner. These M ills are guaran- 

 teed in every respect, and No. 2 Mills warranted to 

 grind ten bushels of feed per hour with one horse, 

 and offered at the low price of $44, all complete, 

 ready for attaching .the horse. No. 3 Mill, at $55, 

 grinds fifteen bushels per hour, and No. 4, at 

 $66, grinds twenty bushels per hour with two 

 horses. 



{'Extract from a Western Paper.} 

 THE LITTLE GIANT 

 PATENT COfcN AND COB MILL. 

 We would call the attention of the farming com- 

 munity, or those who have stock to feed or fatten, 

 to the above mill, confident that all who consult 

 economy and practice good husbandry, will avail 

 themselves of the use of an implement, the merits 

 of which have been tested by leading Agricultu- 

 rists throughout the Union. "The Little Giant" 

 quoth one of our^townsmen, "is no Yankee tool but 

 begotten in the South-west, at St. Louis, Missouri, 

 born and bred in the biggest corn field of the big- 



gest corn, of the great American bottom — h ucc 

 its natural proclivity and rapacity to chaw up ear 

 corn and to do things wholesale after the western 

 fashion." We notice in the Agricultural papers 

 from that quarter, and all along shore, that the Lit- 

 tle Giant has ground its way from the Mississippi 

 to the Atlantic, taking the first premiums at State 

 and County Fairs and Mechanic's Institutes of 

 Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Penn- 

 sylvania, Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, New Jersey 

 and. Maryland ; and has now got right among the 

 down easters, masticating the hard flinty corn of 

 that country to their infinite delight and satisfac- 

 tion. 



An Agricultural Improvement of the South-west 9 

 that the invention and skill of the East acknowldeges 

 superior to any thing of the kind got up, and is 

 sought after by the intelligent discerning farmers 

 of that region, must have substantial merits. Indeed 9 

 to commend itself to those who are so well qualified 

 to judge, who from their circumstances and educa- 

 tion, are led, if not compelled, to practice an econ- 

 omy in all the operations of the farm, which would 

 appear with us to amount almost to stinginess, must 

 combine advantages that adapts it in the highest 

 degree to meet the purposes intended. 



Messrs. Robbins & Bibb, of the Baltimore Stove 

 House, 39 Light street, we understand have the 

 patent right for some ten or a dozen States.

Gentlemen: — I mentioned to you, when in your 

 manufactory last year, that I would give my opinion 

 of the Little Giant Corn and Cob Crusher, after I 

 had made a fair trial of the one sent me,— this I now 

 proceed to do, as an act of justice to all interested 

 in its success. I have had it in operation a year 

 and find it quite equal to my anticipations, if not 

 beyond them. With two mules it will crush well 

 upwards of 15 bushels of corn on the ears in the 

 hour, easy work. If needful it might be made to 

 reach 18. It adds one- fifth to the amount of food, to 

 say nothing of the toll saved for grinding at a neigh- 

 boring mill, four miles off, and (he service of a man 

 and a pair of oxen the entire day each trip. Indeed 

 I can safely say, that it has saved me in the last 

 twelve months, four-fold its cost, with corn at $5 and 

 $6 a barrel, sold for in this neigborhood. I intended 

 getting a machine to crush Guano this fall, but was 

 disappointed, and I made an experiment with the 

 Little Giant, and found it to answer admirably. — 

 With one horse, it ground or crushed 15 to 20 bush- 

 els in the hour, and did it well. I shall of course 

 save the price of the crusher. Upon the whole, I 

 regard- it as a most efficient and valuable machine, 

 .and with pleasure add my testimony in its favor^ 

 How long it will last, is to be proved. 

 Very respectfullv, your ob t serv't,

Mansfield, Nov. 10th, 1855, 



duite an excitement was created here this after- 

 noon, growing out of a contest between corn crush- 

 ers. It appears that some two weeks since Messrs. 

 Scott & Hedges of Cincinnati, advertised in the 

 papers of this city that they would give a silver cup 

 to any mill that should grind faster and finer, with 

 the same amount of power, than their mill the 

 "Little Giant." 



They appeared in due time upon the ground, with
