bacrs or 1,800 lb., of apples at 2.47 P.M., and finished its work m

Workman's A]>ple Mill. 
It must, however, be remarked that this machine ran idle for 
at least a third of the time, the one man employed at the press 
being unable to deal with the pulp as fast as the mill supplied 
it. Indeed, Workman could have bettered a first-rate perform- 
ance by employing two men at the press and one man at the 
mill, instead of two altogether, the points gained under the 
head of " attendance ; ' being more than lost under the head of 
" time."
