grinding or crushing their corn cobs for horses, cattle and sheep, 
and when it can be cooked, for swine also. Sufficient experi-

when so used in proportion to their weight. Boiling or ferment-

CORN AND COB MILL. 
We advise therefore, that every farmer that raises ten acres of 
corn should save his corn-cobs for his cattle, and that to render 
them available he 
should provide him- 
self with the means 
of reducing them to 
meal, if not that of 
cooking them also. 
Since the introduc- 
tion of horse-powers, 
mills for grinding 
feed for stock have

the New York State 
Ag. Society, several 
mills were exhibited 
for reducing corn and 
cobs to meal, among 
which one was ex- 
hibited by 0. Hussey 
Corn and Cob Mill.— Fig. 32. of Baltimore, of his 
own invention, which took the first premium. This mill we have 
now in our possession, and has been in use for the last six years, 
without any repair, only renewing the grinders, as they wear out, 
at the trifling cost of about 80 cents a set. It will grind corn, 
oats and peas, as well as corn and cob, sufficiently fine for feeding 
stock. It requires the power of two horses to do good work. 
We have also one of Pitt's corn and cob cutters, (a figure of 
which stands at the head of this article) which we have had in 
use for two years, which requires less power, and woiks equally 
well, whether the corn be soft or hard. It consists of a cast-iron 
wheel about 9 inches in diameter, the rim 4 inches wide, armed 
with a series of small chisel-shaped teeth or knives, set like plane- 
irons in the face, in a very simple manner; one set of teeth fol-
