Notes |
Advertising text printed on verso: Enterprise Bone, Shell and Corn mills. Two Styles. It is a well-known fact that Bone, Meal,
Ground Shells, Cracked Corn, etc. are excellent for poultry. These mills are especially adapted to grinding Bones, Shells,
Corn, Roots, Bark, Grain, Chicken Feed, etc. When it is considered that pure raw bone meal is one of the best fertilizers,
they will soon pay for themselves for that purpose alone. The grinders are warranted as hard as and equal to hardened cast
steel, and can be regulated to grind coarse or fine, by adjusting a thumb-screw near the centre of the fly-wheel. They are
good general mills for farmers, poultrymen, etc., and for compactness, strength and durability we consider them unexcelled.
Our No. 650 commends itself to those who wish to save space. It is intended to be screwed or fastened to a wall, post, etc.
Capacity of these mills, about 1 1/4 bushels of corn per hour. these mills are not intended for grinding "green bones," but
can be used for that purpose after the bones have been dried. Prices. No. 650...$7.50. No. 750,...$7.50.
