KARM IMPLEMENTS. 1 i5 



and Other fruits, which, for want of adequate meana of econo- 

 mising them, are of less value than they might otherwise be 

 made. A hand cider mill is, therefore, a great convenience to 

 the small farmer. "With it he can crush, and grind, and press 

 his apples, his currants, his grapes, etc., and make them into 

 cider or wine, at a trifling expense of time and trouble.

IIutcui.vson's Cider and Wixe Mill. The best mill which 

 I have examined, is Uutchinson's patent — a simple and con- 

 venient machine, of various sizes, that has often been exhib- 

 ited, and taken premiums. This mill enables the farmer to 

 produce sweet cider and wine at any time, and thus to save 

 many fruits that would otherwise be lost. The juice comes out 

 clear and sweet, and if from sound apples, will keep good a 

 long time. The fruit is first crushed, and then ground into a 

 fine pomace, without breaking the seeds, and discharged into 

 the press beneath, to be pressed out at convenience. The press- 

 ing is a simple and easy process. 



All the iron work, with which the juice would be liable to 

 come in contact, is covered with a durable preparation that pre- 

 vents all rust, and keeps clear and free from any thing disa- 

 greeable. The screws are made of wrought iron, with a fine 

 thread. The teeth of the grinder are not liable to clog. From 

 eight to ten bushels of apples, grapes, currants, etc., can be 

 ground by hand power in an hour. For simplicity, neatness, and 

 compactness, I know of nothing of the kind superior to this ; 

 and as it is always ready to make a quart, or a barrel, of cidei 

 or wine, at any time, it is an article of great convenience. It 

 is manufactured by the Peekskill Plow Works, at Peekskill, 

 New York. 



If any farmer is desirous of knowing the extent and variety 

 of agricultural implements, let him send one dollar to Messrs.
