THE PEOPLE’S MILL. 
SANDFORD’S PATENT. 
A FARM RIILL, Portable, Simple, Compact, amt made oil 
an entirely new principle* wiilt plates having a reciprocating 
ami o>cill:itiiigr, instead of a rotary motion, with all the power 
applied within one inch of the center of the shaft, and one that 
lias been fully tested and improved by two years’ experience, is 
now offered to the public. Every Mill is tested, and no one is 
sent out unless it will grind a bushel of hard Corn fine enough 
for stock feed in eight minutes; many kinds of Grain it will 
grind much faster. 
It is the PREMIUM MILL for the People, and obtained the 
SILVER MEDAL at the late Exhibition at the American 
Institute in t lie City of New-York. 
The People's mil can be put into any saw mill. 
The People's Mill is the cheapest Mill ever offered to the public. 
The People’s Mill is the simplest Mill ever made. 
I'll E People's Mill is the most durable in use. 
{’he People's Mill has the most grinding surface of any portable 
Til ^People's Mill requires less power than any other doing the 
same amount of work. 
The People's Mill requires less speed than any olher mill. 
The People’s Mill is adapted to any kind of power. 
i'UH People’s Mill is not a rotary mill. . 
The People's Mill obviates all the objections to the cast-iron ro¬ 
tary mill. . c 
The People's Mill will grind all kinds of grain, coarse or hne, 
f*n* feed. 
The People's Mill will grind Plaster, Rones, Salt, all kinds of 
Grain. Malt, Peas, Beans, Spices, &c , &c. 
THE Pi opin'S Mill largest size, requires about two-liorse power. 
The People's Mill only requires about two hundred and fifty 
revoUnions per minute . , . , , ■, , 
The People's Mill largest size, will grind from one hundred and 
fifty to uvo hundred bushels of grain in 21 hours. 
The People's Mill mav lie renewed at the cost of the plates, 
which will be furnished at fifty cents each. 
The plates are made of hard iron, dressed or grooved on both 
sides, and the reciprocating motion keeps the grinders sharp. 
There is no boil to it, winch, we think, experience has proved 
of no use on portable mills. The common sieve is sufficient lor 
ait ordinary family purposes. Three sizes—

The experience of the past, year has tested the value of the 
above invention, and proved that it is t/te Mill of the age, and 
best entitled to public confidence ; that it. is bound to supersede 
t_lios*c now in use. on account of its intrinsic worth. 
Fur hulling Buckwheat it is superior to all other inventions; 
and for grinding middlings, no other mill can compare with it.

GUANO. 
We would call the attention of Guano Dealers, Planters, and 
Farmers to the article which we have on hand and for sale at 
THIRTY PER CENT LESS THAN PERUVIAN GUANO 
and which we claim to be superior to any Guano or fertilizer 
ever imported or manufactured in this country. This Guano is 
imported by WM. H WEBB, of New-York, from Jarvis’ & Ba¬ 
ker’s Islands, in the “South Pacific Ocean,” and is sold genu¬ 
ine and pure as imported. It has been satisfactorily tested by 
many of our prominent Farmers, and analyzed by the most em¬ 
inent and popular Agricultural Chemists, and found to contain 
(as will be seen by our circulars) a large per centage of Bone 
Phosphate of Lime and Phosphoric Acid , and other animal organ¬ 
ic matter, yielding ammonia sufficient to produce immediate 
abundant crops, besides substantially ehriching the soil. It can 
be freely used without danger of burning the seed or plant by 
coming in contact.with it, as is the case with some other ferti¬ 
lizers; retaining a great degree of moisture, it causes the plant 
to grow in a healthy condition, and as experience lias proved, 
free of insects. For orders in any quantity, (which will be 
promptly attended to,) or pamphlets containing full particulars 
of analyses and tests of farmers, apply to
