NEW ENGLAND FARMER, 



Sept. 4, 1829. 



labor be much luwcr in Frutice than in Knglanil, 

 yet that the balance u( nkiH in fiivor of the latter 

 country pluces it on a (inr with Kruiirr, in point 

 of the prolits to ho ulilninoil from ninking rugur 

 from bouts. lie adils, " with respect to prxcti of 

 produce, the ailvniiliigc will probuhly he in favor 

 of the Englinh f.iriiu-r; fur although the price of 

 «ugar in about ecpial in both countries, yet it is not 

 sugar niono that is proiluced from the beet root 

 which iscullivaled : the j)ulp of the root, after 

 the juice is pres.secl out, is excellent food for both 

 bullocks and sheep, and I have seen beasts which 

 have been bought in at ."if. per head, fulteiied upon 

 it and sent to market in three months, and sold 

 for 11/. The value and importance of this part 

 of the business will be duly estimated, when it is 

 known that the pulp from each acre of beet root 

 will fatten a bullock, and that the farmer will have 

 as much manure for his other crops, as if he had 

 grown turnips on the .same land ; and, of course, 

 the same rotation of crops may be continued as is 

 now found most beneficial. During the time of 

 Bonaparte, the jiroducc of sujvir was about three 

 per cent on the root ; now, as much as five per 

 cent is generally obtained ; and as the beet root 

 actually contains eight per cent, I think I have 

 good ground for saying that the process admits of 

 further inijirovement. — Gardener's Magazine.

IIORTICULTUR.VL FESTIVAL. 



The Anniversary Celebration of the INIassaciid- 

 sETTs IIoaTicULTURAi. SociF.TY, it is expected, 

 will occur on the 19th of the present month. Ar- 

 rangements will he originated at the stated .Tieet- 

 ing to be held on Saturday, (tomorrow) nt the Halt 

 of the Society, being the 5ih instant, and it is desi- 

 rable that the several standing conmiiltecs, or the 

 chairman of each, should be present on the occa- 

 >ion. 



Thus far, the hopes of the founders of the So- 

 ciety have been fully realized. The weekly exhi- 

 bitions of fruits, and vegetables, aiul flowers, at 

 the Hall, have shown not only, that " more could 

 have been done, if more had been required," but 

 that the taste, and industry and |)ersevcrancc ol 

 our amateur cultivators, as well as of the practical, 

 are in a highly progressive slate of improvement, 

 and that even slioidd they make no farther advan- 

 ces, they may with siilisfaction repose upon the 

 Hurcess of ilu'ir past efforts. 



We hope to see at the approaching festival an 

 attramive display of the useful and ornamental 

 productions of the garden, anil of the field ; and if 

 we arc t.m greatly mistaken, we shall jiroilucc 

 Bomelhing for the occasion to satisfy the commu- 

 nity, that the exertions of the Society have accom- 

 plished so mucii, as to warrant the belief, that its 

 Continued cflbrts will be crowned with complete 

 'uccess. (_\

REED'S PATENT PRESS. 



The subscriber has obtained a patent for i new- 

 ly invented press for cider and other purposes, of 

 which the above engraving is a reprcsentatiui. 



The following is a full and exact description of 

 the construction and operation of this machine. 



Two jjosts A, which are tenoned into two sills 

 n, with a cross timber C, tenoned into ihe posts A, 

 just above the sills B, with two other limbers D, rest- 

 ing on the sills IJ, each .side of the cross timber C, 

 and projecting over the sills 15, in order to receive 

 Ihe windlass K, and two cross limbers F, lei into 

 the posts A, each side towards the top make the 

 frame of the press. Tlie levers O, are eonfinc<l : 

 to the inside of the cross timber F, by iron grap- ' 

 pies II, on the ends of said levers. The move- 

 able plungers I are confined to the levers G, and 

 in a perpendicular position by pieces dovetailed 

 into Ihe cross timbers F, each side of said p!ung- I 

 er.s, and the upper and under side of the cross 

 timber !■'. The levers G, are brought down by 

 means of ropes or chains, being confmed to the 

 upper end and passing round the windlass F,, 

 which is turcu'd by levers K, or by cog wheels L 

 and M with the crank N, on the shall of the cog 

 wheel IM. 'J"he levers G are raised by means of

has ever been in use. The simpleness of its c 

 slruction, and the small expense required to er 

 one of this kind, cannot fail, it is believed, to 

 commend it to the public, and soon to bring it 

 to general use. It possesses many advontai "*^" 

 over the common screw press, for cider. Th 

 who have seen the model, have expressed 

 decided opinion thaldco thirds of ihe usual la< 

 in pressing cider will be saved in the use of i ■'''• 

 patent press.

 for n single )>rcss, or the exclusive right for a tc "* 

 county, or state, can learn the terms, on appli «■(

 to the wheel K. The moveable ero.ss piece S, on 

 which the ]ilungers I press, has dogs on the

DANir.L REEDpn^ 



This may certify that 1 have lately built a Ci 

 Press, invented by iMr Da.mfl Reed, of East 

 which I think is powerful in its tipcration, ea; 

 and .safi'ly uwinagcd, anil so simple in its coiistr 

 tion as nut to be liable to require much repair.

Certificate ii/ Roland Iloicard, Esq. President of 

 Bristol Counti/ .If^ricultural Society 

 This may certify that I have recently cxamir 

 a Cider Press, the model of which was inv 

 by Mr Daniel Reeo, which in my opinion p 

 mises superior advantages to any other press he 

 lofore in use within my knowledge, either a: 

 spcets the aispliealion of power, facility and 

 spateh in business, sim|)licily of construction, 

 ire safely in its niaiiugement, and its not bci 

 liable ollen to ncril repair.
