PliASTT SORGHUM, 
Toungman's Pate n t Sorghum E vapora t or 
and Refiner removes all of the dis- 
agreeable Sorghnm Flavor. 
IT IS THE ONLY PERFECT EVAPORATOR. 
The proprietors of the above Evaporator call the atten- 
tion of the public to the superior merits of this invention. 
They claim that ids the bet machine for making sorghum 
syrup and sugar, maple sugar, beet sugar, and other sim- 
ilar products. 
It has the following Excellencies, viz. : 
Excellencies.— 1- It is the cheapest Evaporator ever 
made, requiring no arch, brick work, or other expenses after 
it leaves the mannfactu— ' 
afford to buy a lumber v 
orators. 
2. It will do more ev: 
day, than any other Eva] 
pan. 
5. It will make betters 
any other Evaporator in 
the well-known disagreeable, sorghum fla 
4. It is remarkably easy to manage, as 
system of dampers, the heat can be gr: 
gree under the pans, instantly. One 
Evaporator— with ease. 
6. It is portable, and mav be lifted into a wagon 
or three men. without difficulty, ami hence can b_ .. 
ported from farm to farm, or from Held to fit Id, wiib the 
greatest facility. 
The foregoing are points of excellence which sorghum 
growers will appreciate, and In support of them we append 
the following high testimony. 
Testimony.— "* ■ The great objection to the use of 
sorghum svrnp lias heretofore heen its characteristic un- 
pleasant flavor. Bin this flavor seemed to be entirely re- 
moved hy your process, and the svrnp assimilated in taste to
