AunrsTA, G.A.. April 3, 1855. 
I have been running one of Scott’s Lttti.k Gt .ANT Corn and 
Cob Mills. No. 4, for the last tivo Avi'ek.-, .i-.id it performs to my 
entire satisfaction. It was warranted to grind 20 bushels per hour, 
but I have ground over 35 bushels in an hour aiid a lialf, or equal to 
231- bushels per hour. In feeding 30 horses, I save at least 100 
bushels of Com per month, it now requiring only 200 Irashels of 
Corn with the Cob, where I foianerly fed 300. I consi(L(n’ it decid- 
edly the best kind of Crusher ever got up, and it' I <nuid not re- 
place mine I would not sell it for $500.
