Plate XXIT. 



Plate XXII. shows the Victor Cane Mill, an apparatus in very common use. It is 

 constructed with vertical rollers, on a plan suited to Iiorse-power, or with liorizontal 

 rollers for water or steam power. The horizontal mills are fitted with extra gearing, 

 are necessarily heavier, and require greater motive power to accomplish the same 

 result. 



The following list of sizes and capacity of mills, of this style, will be of value. These 

 mills are made by Blymyer & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio : 



Size. Weight. 



No. 0, Light One-horse 390 lbs. 



No. 1, Jr., Oue-horse 650 " 



No. 1, Heavy One-horse 750 " 



No. 2, Two-horse 875 " 



No. 3, Heavy Two-horse 12,00 " 



No. 4, Large Two-horse 1,300 " 



No. 6, Four-horse 1,800 " 



The same mill, with the sweep below, is furnished by the same parties. For many, 

 such a mill is greatly to be preferred, since it permits full access to the mill for bringing 

 cane, removing bagasse, and it may be used in the second story of any suitable 

 building.
