Sold by Sunag-e, Sannderi k Co., Suttontrs and Printers, Cln. IlSTTZROrDTTCTOIR/S". The undersigned, on the 1st of January, succeeded to the Foundry business of the firm of Sechlcr & Porter and Sechler & Haven, who were the successors to Hedges, Free & Co., the pioneers in the man- ufacture of Sorghum Mills, &c. We present in the following pages cuts and descriptions of machinery which have stood the test of years, and met with the heartiest and most cordial approval from the public. Moreover, the improvements from time to time adopted, instead of being crude and untried experiments, are the natural suggestions arising from actual and continued working of our machines. During the season of their use, their operation has been carefully watched, and when susceptible of being rendered more reliable, con- venient and efficient, have been improved. Our "Pioneer" series of mills is the same as that originally man- ufactured by Hedges, Free & Co., with all the improvements sug- gested by ten years experience. "We are confident this mill is unequalled by any manufactured elsewhere in the United States. "We still manufacture the "Excelsior" series (three plate mill) in- troduced by Messrs. Sechler & Porter, in 1863, and which has given universal satisfaction. The attention of those desiring a cheap mill is called to our two- roll Mill, "The Economist," No. 0, introduced by our predecessors, in 1865, and which has been pronounced just the thing for working off a small crop. We also continue the manufacture of Iron Amalgam Bells, Kitchen Mills, Grocer's Sugar Mills, "Little Giant/' Corn and Cob Mill, all of which will be described under their appropriate heads. "We wish to call special attention to the fact, that as we have pur- chased the patterns, &c, of Sechler and Haven, they embrace all the patterns used by Scott & Hedges, Hedges, Free & Co., Sechler & Por- ter and Sechler & Haven, and that repairs or duplicates of machinery made by them, can only be obtained from us. JAMES L. HA YEN & CO. Cincinnati, June, 1867. OATJTIOIT Cincinnati, 0., March 20th, 1866. The undersigned, by mutual agreement and conveyance, have become the owners of Letters Patent, No. 22,802, granted to Isaac A. Hedges, February 1st, 1859, for improvements in Mills for crush- ing Cane, &c. They are, therefore, the only persons who have the right to manu- facture or authorize the use of Mills containing the improvements described and specified in said Letters Patent; some of which im- provements they believe essential to every successful Mill for crush- ing Cane and expressing Juice. Notice is hereby given, that Mills containing the patented im- provements cannot be made by manufacturers, sold by dealers, or used by farmers, without liability to the undersigned, who are fully determined and prepared to punish infringers, and vindicate their rights. Those who have made such Mills, are notified to make immediate settlement. Those who are now making them, are notified to cease their unlawful manufacture, and those who are intending to pur- chase, are warned that they will, by the use of an infringing Mill, become themselves liable for damages, from the payment of which, those who sell to them cannot relieve them. CLARK SORGO MACHINE CO. SECHLER & HAVEN. Since the foregoing, Sechler & Haven have transfered their full and undivided one half interest in the above Patent, to James L- Haven & Co. PIONEER SERIES OF SCGAR MILLS. "PIONEER"' SORGHUM MILL. Pattern of I860, with Improvements of 1863— 4— 5 and 6. In the above cut we represent our series of 1860, winch has been before the public five seasons, during which a very large number have been in operation; and although they have been put to the severest test, yet, from their great strength, durability, simplicity PIONEER SERIES OF SUGAR MILLS. and speed, under a limited amount of power, they have received the most unequivocal stamp of public approval. Of this style mill, we make five sizes, as follows : No. O O, " Pioneer," has main roll ten, and feed and discharge rolls six indies diameter, and six inches long, and is capable of taking off a crop of from two to three acres. No. 1, Pioneer, has driving roll twelve, and feed and discharge rolls eight inches in diameter and seven inches long, and is capable of taking off a crop of from four to five acres. No. 2, Pioneer, has main roll sixteen, and feed and discharge rolls eight inches in diameter, eight inches long, and otherwise of extra strength and finish, and is capable of taking oil' a crop of from six to eight acres. No. 3, Pioneer, has rolls of same diameter as No. 2. twelve inches long, but of extra strength, and is capable of taking off a crop of from twelve to eighteen acres. No. 1, Pioneer, having main roll 19 inches, and feed and discharge rolls 11 inches diameter by 15 inches in length, capable of working oft" a crop of from twenty-five to thirty acres. Weighs 2,U00 pounds. EXCELSIOR SERIES OF SUGAR MILLS. "EXCELSIOR" SORGHUM MILL. Pattern of 1S63, with Improvements of 1864—5 and 6. This series of Mill has been beforo tho public for the past three seasons, and has given universal satisfaction ; the only complaint ever made was, that it expressed the juice too fast, which we think is a very good fault. EXCELSIOR SERIES OF SUGAR MILLS. As will be observed by the cut, wo use three plates, the gear work- ing between the bottom and juice plates, and the journal bearings being below, thus admitting of the bottom of the openings being closed, preventing waste or lops of oil, and always insuring the lower journals being well lubricated, a point we desire to especially im- press upon the minds of purchasers as being of peculiar importance, from the fact that the majority of failures result from this cause alone. Again, the entire weight of the roll and gearwheel rests on a steel step under the end of the journals, thereby saving all the friction caused by the rolls resting on the hub, as is the case with all vertical mills made on any other plan. Of these we make two sizes, viz : Nos. 5 and 6. No. 5, Excelsior, one-horse mill, has main rolls sixteen inches in diameter, feed and discharge roll eight inches, and eight and a half inches long, has extra heavy shafting, brass boxes, and is finished in every respect in the very best manner, is in perfect working order before it leaves the hands of the workmen, and is capable of working off a crop of from eight to ten acres. No. 6, Excelsior, two-horse mill, is made on precisely the same principle, has main roll sixteen inches, feed and discharge roll eight inches in diameter, with a hight of thirteen inches, with ex- tra heavy shafting, brasa boxes, &c, all of the best style of work- manship, and is capable of working off a crop of from fifteen to twenty acres. ECONOMIST SERIES OF SUGAR MILLS. THE ECONOMIST. There has existed ever since the commencement of the culture of Sorghum, the want of a cheap Cane Mill, one that would be in the reach of every farmer, that would enable him to raise and manufac- ture a small crop, without the trouble, delay and expense of hauling his cane a long distance to a large mill, and then have to wait mill fashion for his turn, often taking some three or four days, and at a season of the year when his time was particularly valuable. We think we are now able to fill that want in offering "The Economist," a new two-roll mill, which can be offered at a very low price. The capacity of this mill is only one-sixth less than of our No. 1 mills, and that difference is more than saved to the farmer by having his mill right where he wishes to do his work, and to be ready at such times as he can spare from other labor. This mill was introduced by our predecessors at nearly the close of the season of 1866, and without any advertising or special effort on their part, nearly one hundred were sold, giving satisfaction in every instance. The risk of breakage on this mill is very small ; is easily set up and operated, and will, we think, entirely fill the vacuum that has so long existed in the want of a good and cheap Sorghum Mill. Description of Mill. Two Eolls. eight inches diameter, and nine inches high, is capable of working off a crop of three to four acres. HORIZONTAL BACK-GEARED MILL. HORIZONTAL BACK-GEARED MILL. Adapted to Steam, Water, or Horse Power. Four-horse horizontal mill, finished with wrought shafts, brass boxes, etc., arranged with pulley for band, as shown in cut. or with coupling for attachment tojrimbling shaft, and capable of working . off a crop of from ten to eighten acres of cane. Six-horse horizontal mill, samo finish, capable of working fifteen to twenty-five acres of cane. Bight-horso horizontal mill j same finish, and capable of working twenty -five to forty acres of cane. Ten-horse horizontal mill, capable of working a crop of forty to sixty acres. Twelve-horse horizontal mill, r capablc of working a crop of fifty to seventy-five acres. Larger sizes, with engines and outfits, as per special contract. 10 i:\ A.FORATOBS. EVAPORATORS. In no department connected with the cultivation and manufacture of Sorghum Sugar Cane has there been such a variety of opinion as upon Evaporators. Inventors have been numerous, :m mingling it with the juice as tho latter flows from tho mill ; add to this sufficient milk of Lime to change Litmus paper to straw color; next, add three well beaten eggs and then stir the mixture. Let stand half an hour to settle. Draw off with faucet, so as not to agi- tate tho contents of the vessel at tho bottom. On receipt of ten cents, we will send, post paid, a sample of sugar made by one of those machines; and for twenty-five cents, will send you a pound of sugar by express ; charges of carriage to be paid on delivery. 14 WINE ANI> < IDER. [From "Hutchinson's Trade Circular."] GOOD WINE AND CIDER. The Best and Most §tmple If'oy of Ma/iiny them. So common is the business of making Wine or Cider, one would think no improvements could be made; that everybody ought to know how; yet it ma}', with truth, be said that three-fourths of all the Domestic Wines and Cider made are spoiled in making, and that not half is made that can be, when the right way is understood, and a simple and cheap mode introduced for doing it. An incredible amount of money has been spent in the way of experiments, and almost innumerable recipes have been offered for making wines and ciders. And yet nearly all fall short or overreach that simple and effectual way, in which they must be made. From the great diver- sity of soil and climate in the United States, and the almost endless variety of its fruits, it follows that great diversity of taste and flavor will be found in the wines and cider that are made from them. In the manufacture of both wine and cider, much depends on the crushing of the fruits, and the time and mode of extract ing the juices, and still more in removing from them the pomace, lees or sediment, which act as a yeast, and often produce too great fermentation, which will, by proceeding too far, terminate in acetous fermentation, when vinegar will be the result. By the common careless modes of making wine and cider, they must and do contain a large percentage of impure and poisonous compounds. No care is taken in the selection of the fruits, nor the cleansing of the mill or fixtures about it, quantity per day, not quality, seeming to be the only desideratum ; and the thousands who have a high appreciation of choice fruits, and may have been blessed with their rich gifts, lose altogether the choice, cooling beverage they can have, only for the want of a simple mode for extracting the juices. Tho apples used for cider are often such as are not fit for the market, and not even suitable to feed to the stock. After all the good qualities have been selected, the most inferior kinds are used for cider. All kinds of barrels and casks are used to put it in, and still the compound is called cider. It is said that all tho dirt, bad taste, &C, will work out in fermentation, and so it will, but not until acetous fermentation has taken place, and the compound has become vinegar. The mills formerly used for this purpose were so large, clumsy, complicated and costly, that they were not adapted for domestic use, and, therefore, the juice of tho choice fruits, so abundant, has been almost entirely lost. That most desired and long delayed remedy was fully appreciated by the writer, who has, at no small expense of money, time and per- severanco, produced a small, simple and chcap t yet strong, durable and WINE AND CIDER. 15 efficient Jfill and ftress, properly called the Family Wine and Cider JLltl, one that, in all respects, will fully meft domestic wants, and which must and will find its way to every family that appre- ciates the rich extracts of their choice fruits, enabling the amateur to experiment clearly, and reduce the selection and mixtures of fruits, and the whole business of cider making to a science, enabling tho economist and dealer in perishable fruits, to save the rich and choice juices which would soon become valueless. General Hides for Making Superior < ider. Cider, when first made, is called new, surd, and sometimes tem- r-ERANCE cider. The time it will remain so, depends much on tho perfection a£ the fruit, and the quantities of impurities and sediments contained in it. If the juice or cider is expressed immediately after the fruit is ground, it will hold in solution, and carry with it a largo quantity of lees or sediment, (appearing thick or muddy.) The lees, sediment, or an}^ impurities, will act as a yeast to cause fermentation, and the larger the quantity the greater the stimulant. To avoid this, the juice must remain with the pomace from 12 to 24 hours, after the fruit is ground, allowing certain chemical changes, which will be sure to take place, when the juice will be separated from the pomace, or in other words, the pomace will gather or contract, form- ing small recesses or channels through the entire mass, into which the pure juice will be thrown, and by those channels escape, when allowed to do so, either from the vat or press. Cider thus made will be comparatively clear, and have a rich color, derived from the pomace by chemical action, when held with it. When, on the con- trary, if the fruit is ground, and juice forced out hurriedly, tho great agitation caused by grinding and forcing separation, the cider will carry with it a large amount of lees or sediment, which will early produce a vinovs fermentation, so rapid as to pass into an ascetic fer- mentation, when vinegar is the result. A vinous fermentation is a mild movement, throwing the sediment down to the bottom, causing chemical action, giving life or effervesenee ; but if there is too much precipitant or sediment, it will cause reaction, when ascetic fermenta- tion will commence, and all is acid, rancid, sour or vinegar. To make Good Cider the following general, but important, rules should be attended to. They demand a little more trouble than the ordinary mode of collecting and mashing apples of all sorts, rotten and sound, sweet and sour, dirty and clean, withered ami wormy, from the tree and the ground, and many more of the filthy and slovenly processcs usually employed, but in return they produce you a whole- some, high flavored, sound and palatable beverage, that always com- mands an adequate price, and gives health and pleasure, instead of a solution of villainous compounds in a poisonous and acid wash, that no man, in his right reason will drink. 1st. Always chose perfectly ripe and sound fruit. 16 WINE A.Mi « IDER. 2d. Pick the apples from the tree by hand. Apples that have been on the ground any length of time, contra arthy flavor, which will always be found in the eider. 3 so until it runs clear. Let the juice percolate or Miter for one or more days. The cider thus extracted will compare closely with any clear rich sirup, and which is only deserving the name of t> mpera\ and may be drank or used for many pui choice and superior article. In this way about one-third of the pider will sepa- rate; the balance may then be expressed by the use of they-.' 5th. To press out the juice, use a clean strainer cloth inside the curb, with some clean straw intermixed in thin layers, with the po- mace, and apply the power moderately. 6th. As the cider runs from the vat or press, place it in a clean, sweet cask or open tub, which should be closely watched, and as soon as the little bubbles commence to rise at the bunu-dsole or top, it should be racked off by a spigot or faucet, placed about two inches from the bottom, so that the lees or sediment may be left quietly behind. 7th. The vinous fermentation will commence sooner or later, de- pending chiefly upon the temperature of the apartment where the cider is kept ; in most cases during the first three or four days. If the fermentation begins early and proceeds rapidly, the liquor must be racked or drawn off and put into fresh ca-ks. in one or two days ; but if this does not take place at an early period, but proceeds slowly, three or four days may elapse before it is racked. In general, it is necessary to rack the liquor at least twice. If. notwithstanding, the fermentation continues briskly, the racking must be repeated, other- wise the vinous fermentation, by proceeding too far, may terminate in acetous fermentation, when vinegar will be the result. In rack- ing off the liquor, it is necessary to keep it free from sediment, and the scum or yeast produced by the fermentation. "When the fermen- tation is completely at an end, fill up the cask with cider in all respects that like contained in it, and bung it up tight, previous to which a tumbler of sweet oil may be poured into the bung-hole, which will exclude the oxygen and prevent the oxydation of the sur- face of the wine. Sound, well made cider, that has been produced as above and without any foreign mixtures, is a pleasant, cooling and whole- some beverage. While, on the contrary, the acids and dirty drugs, added to already impure liquor, retards fermentation, thus adding WINK AND CIDER. 17 poison to poison, producing colic, and not (infrequently incurable obstruction* Xeic. or Street Cider. When a (small quantity of sweei cider is wanted for immediate use, and there is not time to let it remain on the pomace for chemical changes, at before Btated, the curb, with strainer cloth, and a little clean straw in it, may be placed in position for pressing, when the apples may be ground, and the pomace dropped directly into it. When about half full, lay a second thin layer of straw, and when full, still a third, and turn the projecting ends of the strainer cloth over all, when the follower may bo placed on. and the force of the screw applied moderately. When all is forced down to about half, the screw may be run up, tho follower removed, and the ends of the strainer cloth lifted, and more apples ground, until the curb is again full, when with a layer of straw and strainer cloth again cover all, replace the follower, and apply the forco of screw as before. Bo careful that the follower is kept level, and that the strainer cloth is relieved, if inclined to stick on the side of the curb. Cider thus made will not be as clear and brilliant as when allowed to remain with the pomace in the vat, filter through, and be drawn off, and balance pressed out, as heretofore considered. Wines. Tho United States is fast becoming a great Wine producing country. Its climate and soil compare favorably with the most . productive of Europe. In speaking of a fertile and rich land, the orientals used the term, " It abounds with oil and wine." In those countries where it is used for a table drink, by all classes, in the same manner as we use tea or coffee, the people are never given to drunkenness, but use it with moderation, as a necessary of life. Old fermented wine (that which is called unfermented wine is not wine) is the most healthy drink. Hence, to obtain it of good quality, the wine which is made this year should not bo used for three or four years moro, but should be kept in casks in cellars,when the work of fermentation will proceed so slowly, that acetic acid will not be found. There arc some wines sold for tho pure juice of the grape, unfermented, which are not healthy ; in fact, they are not true wines. By slow fermentation, the juice of the grape deposits on the side and bottom of the cask in which it is kept, quite a thick scale of dark brown substance, which is as hard as a stone, and named "crude tartar." In every case the juice of the grape should be deprived of this substance before it is used, and as time is the only effectual way, no further <>xplanation is wanting for the in- creased valuo of old wines. 3 18 WINE AND CIDER. Grinding or Crushing the Fruits. Grapes and all other fruits should bo ground in such a manner as to completely tear them to pieces, so that the skins, pulps, and seeds are quite separated, when all parts of the fruit will be subjected evenly and perfectly to chemical action, so essential in fermentation. In the manufacture of wines, in the common but imperfect mode of half crushing the fruit, or crushing some parts, and others not at all, it will be easily seen that some parts of the fruit will be readily acted upon, when others cannot, until almost or quite decayed. The Mills herein described, will be found, in all respects, fitting evenly, and to thoroughly crush all kinds of fruits, apples, &c, and will not injure in the least the seeds of grapes, or any like fruits, but will readily crush the pits of cherries, which is very essential in making the best kind of cherry wine. Among the following Cider Mills every purchaser can find one adapted to his wants, and Ave warrant each to be the best of its kind : First. For those who want a mill, to make a small quantit} 1- of cider, compact, portable, small and handsome enough to place in any part of the house, and ready for instant use to manufacture a quart or a barrel of cider, we offer the well-known " Hutchinson's Family Cider Mill." For a large mill, to make cider rapidly, and extract it all out of the pomace, our "American" has no superior. We warrant them to save their cost in six day's work, over any other mill of which we have any knowledge. For a farmer, who does not wish or cannot afford to have a separ- ate machine for each purpose, our "Convertible" is unexcelled. It is as good a Cider Mill as any other, except the " American," and as a Corn Sheller, has no superior. For description of each, see the following pages. O-A-ST IRON CII3I3X1.-3VCIXjXj SCHE-WS.

This cut represents the No. 1 or Family Wine and Cider Mill, of which sales of twelve thousand is suilicient assurance of its usefulness and great popularity. It has been im- proved for this year. It now grinds finer, faster, and nearly one-half easier than ever before. This Mill can easily grind from eight to ten bushels of Apples, and horn ten to twelve bushels of Grapes, Currants, &c., per hour. It is now made with wood sides, held together by strong iron bolts. It is very neat, compact and simple, easily handled by one man, and answers an excellent purpose for a family having a lew barrels of Cider or Wine to make, y as also for Grocers, Fruit Dealers, &c. One man can make with it, from two to three barrels of Cider, or from one hundred to one hundred and fifty gallons of Wine per day, while it is always ready to make a pitcher or bucket of Cider, in a few minutes. They are exceedingly compact, rendering transportation cheap, and with improved facilities, the workmanship will be excellent, and all the parts strong and durable, where the experience of former years may have shown any weakness. Weight of Mill, 150 lbs. B@°" Should any part of these Mills be broken, a duplicate piece, sure to fit, can be procured from us. g®" This Mill being very compact and of light weight, can bo shipped to any part of the world, at a small expense. Having made arrangements for the exclusive control of this Mill in Cincinnati, we are enabled to supply dealers in any quantity, at manufacturers' prices, freight only added. JAS. L, HAVEN & CO. 20 AMERICAN CIDER AND WINE MILL. American Cider and Wine Mill, Patented February !3th, 1866. The above cut represents a New Cider Mill, which we first ! introduced last year, and of which we sold a large number, without I a single expression of dissatisfaction from any cause. We are so well satisfied, from actual experiment, that it will make one-fourth ', more cider from a given quantity of apples, with an expenditure -if i only three-fourths of the labor that That in pressing three hundred bushels of apples, the saving in cider between it and the usual "grating" mills, will pay for the mill. As it will grind from 40 to 60 bushels of apples per hour, a very small additional yield of cider is sufficient to do tins, and any one can gain the price of the mill in six days work AMERICAN CIDER AND WINE MILL. 21 American Cider and Wine Mill. The above cut represents very clearly the construction of oar mill, which is got up on :t principle entirely different from other portable mills. Every farmer knows that no portable cider mill has hitherto been made to equal tho old-fashioned power machine, formed of two upright grooved rolls, working into each other. All inventions have started out with the idea that it was necessary to grate the fruit and most of tho previous portable mills have been built on this mis- taken notion. A moment's reflection will convince any one of the fallacy of this idea, and a very short trial will prove that our method is the best. The tup roller, furnished with sharp projecting ribs, breaks and cuts the apples just suffieiently to allow the pieces to be drawn in between the two bottom or under rollers. These are cast with alternate grooves and ribs, run at the same speed, and inter- locking with each other, by which means the fruit is mashed thoroughly, breaking all the cells ami rendering the subsequent labor of pressing much lighter. In fact, if the pomace is allowed to drain awhile, a vr.nv large proportion of the cider will run off Avithout any pressing, which should be saved separately, as it is the most delicious part of the product. The Lower Rollers are adjustiblc, so thai they can be set to mash grapes without crushing a seed. The Hopper can be removed at pleasure, for the purpose of cleaning, by merely turning a button, and they are, in every respect, a = insT class Cider & Wine Mill. 22 CONVERTIBLE CIDER MILL AND CORN SIIELLER. Convertible Cider Mill & Com Sheller, WITH PRESS FOR CIDER, WIXE, OR LARD. This Mill has been awarded 100 Premiums, is well known through- out the West, and is the only one of the kind. It is readily changed from a Cider Mill to a Corn Sheller, and vice versa, in one minute. As a Cider Mill none of the old style equal it, and as a Sheller, or Shucker and Sheller. it has no superior. It will separate the corn from the cob at the rate of one bushel per minute, or shuck and shell, and at the same time prepare the shuck for mattresses, which when done, is worth $45 per tun. It is durable, simple of construc- tion, and not liable to get out of order. This gives the consumer three machines in one, and for as low a price as any good Cider Mill is sold. The Mill has been improved during the present year, and will be gotten up in good style. Samples sent to Dealers at Wholesale Prices, and Warranted Satisfactory. NATIONAL FEED CUTTERS. 23 THE NATIONAL FEED CUTTER, FOR HAY, CORX AND STRAW STALKS. No. 5, 10 inch. No. 1, 8 inch. No. 2, 7 inch. No. 3, G inch. We have obtained the right to manufacture these well-known and popular Cutting Boxes, and confidently recommend them as the best and cheapest Cutter we have ever examined. The principle is a shear cut between two cylinders revolving the same way, at different velocities — the knives feeding themselves without the aid of any complicated Feed Gear, to get out of order and increase the labor of cutting. They cut Hay, Straw and Stalks equally well, and for this reason are preferable to " Sanford's." They are, besides, self-sharpening. By putting a little oil and fine emery on the knives, and turning the rovcrse way, for a few minute9, they will be brought to a perfectly sharp edge. 24 \m»ford's tatent cutting boxes.

WESTERN CORN SHELLERS. 25 WESTERN CORN SHELLERS. Of this well known corn sheller we make three sizes. No. 1 is usually called the "Star" pattern, the cogs being cast on the shell wheel. We have, however, got up new and improved pat- terns, making a more perfect machine than any of that style we have ever seen. The iron work is larger and stronger than others use, though the whole machine looks smaller, being made as com pact as possible. We have arranged them so that the fly-wheel, though outside, is protected by the cover, and they are never broken in shipping. No. 2 has separate gear, not cast on the shell-wheel, but par- titioned off from it, so that corn can never cause trouble by getting in the teeth. Fly-wheel inside of the frame— two cranks. No. 3 is a large, double machino, with two feed-tubes, two fly- wheels and two cranks. 4 26 LITTLE GIANT CORN CRUSIIERS. .DRIVER. LITTLE GIANT CORN CRUSHERS.

AGRICULTURAL STEAM BOILERS. 27 Agricultural Steam Boilers. The above cut represents a valuable apparatus for heating water or cooking stock feed by steam, and is most admirably adapted to the use of farmers, hotel keepers, tanners, sto< k feeders, etc. It consists of an oblong oanldron with tight fitting cover swelled upward, as seen in the cut, for retaining the steam as generated. Attached to this are gum-elastic pipes, for conveying the steam into the barrel, vat, or whatever vessel the water to be heated, or grain or vegetables to be cooked in, is placed. It is so constructed that an explosion is impossible, even if left entirely without attendance, and is so simple In arrangement thai a child may be safely intrusted with its man- agement. We make three sizes, as follows : No. 0, or 30 gallon size, weighs 350 lbs., and boils water in tubs at the rate of 60 gallons per hour No. 1, or GO gallon size, weighs 500 lbs., and boils at the rate of 150 gallons per hour No. 2, or 00 gallon size, weighs 675 lbs., and does 30 per cent. more work than No. 1, with same fuel This Bize is suited to the use of tanners, steamers, dyers, slaugh- terers, or extensive stock feeders. We think- it a matter abundantly demonstrated that from 33 to 50 per cent, of grain is saved by grinding and cooking it before feeding. It is, moreover, not less a fact that there is 8 I kving in the time usually required to put stock in marketable condition, by cook- ing their feed. And we know of no two implements which will sooner repay their cost, in grain saved, than our Little Giant Crush- ers and Steam Boilers, when used either separately or in combina- tion. 28 GROCERS 8UGAR MILLS — KITCHEN MILLS. GROCERS SUGAR MILLS. "We represent annexed an improved mill for crushing or lightening heavy lumpy sugar. This is a most valuable ma- chine for wholesale gro- cers' use, in preparing sugar for barreling, on removal from the origi- nal packages, or for re- tailers who desire to mix different grades together or enliven and disinte- grate the particles of such as they are offering for sale daily to their custo- mers. KITCHEN MILL. For Coffee, Com Meal, Flour or Spices. This useful little machine is adapted to a variety of purposes, and being " a handy thing to have in the house,'" should be possessed by every family in the country. Its use a few minutes daily enables one to prepare fresh corn meal, hominy, grits, Graham flour, etc., in the best possible manner. It is also a supe- rior coffee and spice mill, and as such merits the attention of hotel keepers and grocers. It will grind meal fine enough for mush, at about one pound per minute, and that which is coarser, or suited for hominy, considerably faster. We also make a larger size, same general appearance, called the Tom Thumb Grist Mill, to run with a belt, requiring about two horse power, which will grind from 3 to 5 bushels per hour, in pro- portion to the power and the fineness required ROAD SCRAPERS. 29 Road Scrapers.

Brown's Universal Broom-Head, O UJ Patented g^'ijjgtfwQft 0cf.21,lNG5. >- » t3d pa This Broom-Head or Clamp is made of the best malleable iron, and is warranted not to break or wear out, and we will exchange, free of charge, any that become useless from any cause. It is formed of two pieces only, and the handle, which is pointed, fastens the whole together beyond the possibility of becoming loose. In making a broom no tools are required, except a knife, and the same handle will last indefinitely, unless accidently broken. While they are particularly adapted to the use of farmers, all classess can use them profitably, as broom corn can be purchased in most towns and villages, and the price of one broom will buy enough to make half a dozen better and more durable ones than can be usually purchased. The birch and willow, commonly used for stable brooms, can be used to advantage with this head; it also makes a good head for mops. Active, energetic men are wanted to sell them in every township in the Union, and the great demand for Bror-m-Heads insured for these, (universally admitted to be far superior to any ever intro- duced,) an unlimited sale ; and the am ugements made for manufac- turing them, enables us to offer to agjnts better terms than most others. To those wishing to engage in the business a sample Broom-Head will be sent by express on the receipt oi $1, with further particulars and terms to agents. JAMES L.

The undersigned have the pleasure of announcing that the manu- facture of this celebrated press will hereafter be carried on under their exclusive auspices. In baling hay or cotton in localities remote from markets, the ad- vantages of producing a snug, compact bale are too apparent to ad- mit of argument. One serious objection to hand presses, hitherto, has been that tiiey did not successfully accomplish this; the bales, in fact, usually produced measuring full size — that is, 30 x 30 x 50 inches, but weighing no more than 250 instead of 300 to 350 lbs. The proprietors of Canaday's press have caused mathematical cal- culations to be made of the relative power exerted by the various hand presses in use. The result is as follows, viz : Ingersoll's patent exerts a force on either end of a bale under pressure of 1-4,000 lbs. ; Davis', 28,000; Canaday's, 40,000 ! an advantage in favor of the lat- ter of near 200 per cent, in one, and of 50 in the other case. Two men only are required, in practical use, to operate the ma- chine with success, and from the convenience of its application, no difficulty is ever experienced in controlling the immense power which it possesses. Capacity, 20 to 25 bales per day. No. 3 press, when set up, is 8 feet high, and occupies 4x6 feet, will produce bales weighing 250 to 300 lbs. EACH MACHINE FULLY GUARANTEED. 34 SAUSAGE MEAT CUTTERS. Nos. Ol, oa. 03, 04. Nos. SX, 3X. IX. BAUSAGE MEAT ('ITERS — STUFFERS. 35 SAUSAGE MEAT CUTTERS. The cuts on preceding page show clearly the style of our sausage cutters. The di " rence in the qualities lies in the kmvms and rollers. Nob. 01, 02, U\ 94, are made like others in the market, with steel knives, but with plain rollers. Nos. 2X, 3X and IX have heavier knives, properly tempered, and the rollers are Bvpplied with a flange at the crank end, which works the meat on to the knives, thereby cutting more rapidly and easily. Both sorts have a most perfect arrangement fur taking out the knives for cleansing or sharpening. By loosening three screws, the cap slides a trifle endwise, and every knife can be taken out and re- placed in a few minutes. The crank is also fixed by a Bet screw, and can be put on or taken off at pleasure. The knives are all alike, and can be replaced when worn out, either by us or almost any mechanic who can work st< « I. WE WARRANT THEM SATISFACTORY. This is too well known to need description.

ICE CREAM FREEZER. 37 Patented June 11th, ISO 7. This is the best and quickest freezer made, and asjeheap as any other. Hundreds have been sold already, though just introduced, without a word of complaint. The material to be frozen is thoroughly mixed, and invariably produces the pure, smooth article desired. Sizes : 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 14, 18 and 23 quarts. RECIPES. No. 1. — Two quarts of rich good milk: four fresh eggs; three-quarters pound of white sugar; six tea-spoons of Bermuda Arrow Root or corn starch, ruh smooth in a little cold milk; beat the eggs and sugar together; bring the milk to the boiling point; then stir in the arrow root or corn starch, remove it from the Are, and im- mediately add the eggs and sugar, stirring briskly to keep the eggs from cooking; then set aside to cool. If flavored with extracts, let it be done jicst before putting it in the Freezer. If the Vanilla bean is used, it must be boiled in tne milk. Very fine cream can be made from this receipt, for 18 cents per quart. No. 2. — Cost increased slightly over No. 1. Boil together a quart of rich cream, and a quart of rich milk : as soon as it comes to boil, stir in two table spoon- fulls of arrow root powder, or corn starch, which has previously been rubbed smooth in a little cold milk; then add three-quarters of a pound of white sugar, being careful to stir the mixture constantly to keep it from scorching. Flavor with any of the many extracts, to suit the taste. No. 3. — This will make a very rich article. Two quarts pure cream, one pound powdered white sugar, — the white of four eggs, flavor to taste. No. 4 — Pink Apple or Orange Cream. — Cut in small pieces nice ripe pine apples or sweet Havana oranges, into a china bowl; cover with powdered white sugar: let them stand several hours; draw oft" the syrup, and use as a flavoring for the preceding recipes. The flavor from any other fruit can be obtained for flavoring Ice Cream or Water Ices. For Roman Punch, add to any of the above, a little rum or Jamaca Spirits. No. 5 — Lemonade Ice. — With a quart of rich Lemonade, (mado very sweet) add the white of six fresh eggs, and freeze it. 38 DAVIES SELF-OPERATING SWING. Davies' Self— Operating Swing. A glance at the cut, will give an intelli- gent idea of the principle on which it acts. A gentle pressure on the footboard, re- quiring no more effort than to move a rocking chair, will cause it to vibrate ten feet, whilst a little more pressure to send you on a level with the points of suspen- sion. Swinging is a pleasure to almost every one, but heretofore it has been enjoyed at the expense of another's muscle. This invention enables the "isolated" indi- vidual to enjoy the luxury. The Swing is adapted for all sizes, and can be changed in a few seconds to suit any one, and can KHEW^^ be operated by a child three years old. It is substantially made, the working parts being iron, consequently is very durable, with less liability to accident than with a rope swing. They are suitable for all places, Parlor, Nursery, Portico, Yard or Lawn. They can be most conveniently attached to ceilings of Porches, but with the addition of one post, about four or five inches square can be attached to the side of a house or alongside a tree, whilst in a clear space it will require a frame similar to the cut. Outside frames are not furnished unless specially ordered, and then at additional cost. The subscribers have concluded an arrangement with the inventor, by which they have secured the exclusive control of this Patent in the Western and South-western States, and are now prepared to fill orders and negotiate with parties for their sale. AVe offer a liberal discount to those who purchase to sell again ; and to an enterprising person, each neighborhood offers a field for fair profit at a very small outlay. We have the utmost confidence in this improvement, and- will guarantee complete satisfaction in every case, or will refund the price paid. Price of Swing, neatly finished, $18,00. In ordering, give the exact hight between floor and coiling — will furnish one to fit. The usual length of swings will be 12 feet, unless ordered other- wise. County or State Rights for sale on reasonable terms. Orders addressed to the undersigned, or J. L. HAVEN & CO., will meet with prompt attention. AMERICAN SWING CO. BORED TUBING. '39 BORED TUBING FOR Chain Pumps and other Purposes, We desire to call the attention of Farmers to our Bored Tubing, which, though sold most ex- tensivelj for Chain Pumps, has been found in- valuahle wherever water is required to be led to any distance for family, barn, or railroad use. The i\ inch pipe, three and a half inches square will Bustain the pressure 1 of at least thirty-five feet head, and 1.' inch, twenty-five feetj and. if n. i ■ out of larger scantling, a much greater pressure. Nearly all farms have a running spring of water on some part of them, which could he, brought to the house and barn in pipes. With a living stream of wuter in the barn yard, a stock of cattle may be said to be one-quarter wintered, and actual experience has demonstrated that there is mure than that difference. [t is less work to plow and dig a trench and lay down these pipes to a spring fifty or one hundred da, than it would be to go the same distance twice a day and water a span of horses during the winter. It is needles to urge the advantages of running water in a dwelling — its promotion of cleanliness, it- healthful nesa, and convenience. And to sum up, what greater luxury could a Farmer have, for the same money, than a running stream of water in house or barn 7 In many would not exceed the c< st of a sofa, or watch, or one-quarter the cost of a piano. These pipes can be laid on a six decree curve or at ri^ht angles without alteration, and by giving ..rders the circle can be made much less. They are put up in bundles, convenient for ipping, and their weight is about two-thirds that of the same amount of lumber. ft is a well-ki that iron mpes, unless of large bore, become stopped up sooner or later, according to the impolitic- of the water, with the oxide of iron ; lead pipes are liable to flatten— to become leaky and poi-on the water ;%nd ,re more liable to freeze uj> in cold weather than wooden— at the same time it afldently believed that w len pipes, when laid in the ground, will far outlast cither. From the cut, any man of common mechanical ingenuity can see how to set up a chain pump, which, when honestly p*t Up, is the cheapest and best in use. We have known them to be in daily and continual use for eight jean without an pairs whatever. "We make all the part-, curb-, chain, castings, etc. Ul I I -h Gentlemen : • In addition to the articles illustrated and described, we manufac- ture a very large assortment of goods adapted to the wants of various trades, and, therefore, unnecessary to notice at any length in this book, which is particularly intended for the agricultural part of the community. We warrant every article to be as represented when sold, and if it does not prove so, siand ready at all times to make it satisfactory, and solicit your orders, either directly or through the, ^Hardware dealers in your neighborhood, for any article named. For most articles, however, it will be no disadvantage to you to purchase through a merchant, though, if you, for any reason, prefer to dd so, write to us direct and you will receive attention, and your orders be filled. The capacity of our works, in our peculiar line, is second to none in the West, and we are therefore prepared to fill orders on short notice. We mail to all dealers a Wholesale Price List, and to others who may apply for it, a retail list, which is the price at our works, and by the time freight, &c, is paid on a single article, the farmer will see that it is to his interest (and ours) to order through the mer- chant with whom he deals.
