AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
No. 214.—Americus Senior Cider and 
Wine Mill and Press combined.— Many of 
our readers and friends raise grapes and apples, but not 
in sufficient amount to warrant sending a great dis¬ 
tance to have fruit ground and pressed. To meet this 
want. The Whitman Agricultural Co ., of St. Louis, 
Mo., have invented and manufactured a Grinder and 
Press combined, secured in one frame as shown in the 
engraving. It mashes the fruit perfectly ; the rollers are 
adjustable, so as to grind either coarse or fine ; easily 
cleaned and every way desirable to the purchaser. With 
this excellent arrangement of the two machines, it re¬ 
quires but little room and is always ready for immediate 
use for the largest or smallest quantity of fruit. On the 
receipt of 38 subscriptions at $1.50 each, we will pres nt 
one of these mills [or will forward one on the receipt of 
$40], the receiver, in either case, to pay the freight. 
No. 215.-The Blanchard Churn.—Of 
the many kinds of apparatus made for converting Cream 
Into Blitter, the Blanchard Churn, manufactured by Por¬ 
ter Blanchard's Sons, Concord, N. II., stands among 
tire best. The makers claim that the action of the dasher 
Is such as to cause agitation of the cream by creating cur¬ 
rents, and not by beating or friction of the cream. Four 
motions are given to the cream by one revolution of the 
crank. A reverse motion of ttie dasher gives a cam 
pressure to the butter by which the butter-milk may he 
all worked out, and the salt worked in, without removing 
the dasher. Facility of removing the dasher and getting 
at the butter. Ease of cleaning, the form of construction 
making the inside without any inaccessible or invisible 
angles or corners. For nine subscriptions at $1.50 each, 
\ve will give one of these excellent churns, [or, snpplyono 
for $7.00], the receiver to pay freight, in either case.

Bros. Manufacturing Co.. South Bend, Ind.. to offer

No. 2 18.-“ 1880” Holly Scroll Saw.- 
The Bracket Saw, like the Sewing Machine, has become 
almost a household necessity. We have made arrange¬ 
ments with the Manufacturer of the ” 1810” Holly Scroll 
Saw, which enable us to offer it as a Premium. From 
personal attention, and abundant testimony from others, 
we are warranted in commending this very highly, and 
it is one of the most valuable premiums that we have to 
offer for so small a cost. The manufacturer claims to 
have been the first to Introduce cheap foot-power Saws 
to the trade; ho makes this a specialty. The points 
of superiority of the ”1880” Holly Scroll Saw are: 
A Saw Clamp which holds saw-blades perfectly rigid, en¬ 
abling the operator to follow Hues closely, and do fine 
work with great facility; it also prevents the saw-blade 
from running under when sawing thick stuff. A Strain¬ 
ing Rod with Adjusting Screw, so that long, short, or 
broken saw-blades can be used. A ground and polished 
nickel-plated Table, which adds to the beauty of the ma¬ 
chine. and on it the work can be readily moved around. 
A solid Emery Wheel. ?£ in. diametor by } face—this also 
makes a first-rate family Grind-stone, being always ready, 
and, as it runs with great speed, it grinds and polishes 
rapidly. A 20-inch swing allowing the sawing of a 40- 
inch circle, claimed to be the largest that can be done by 
any amateur saw ever made. A simple method of put- 
tin 1 the saw together, only two bolts being used. Full 
instructions accompany each sa - v. A new and artistic 
style of painting in ultramarine bine, and decorated with 
gold and sliver ornaments (in Japanese style), the arms 
ebonized and decorated the same. It is claim 'd by the 
manufacturer that in point of finish, this excels any of 
the very highest priced—the qualitv of its work is second 
to none—that it is by far the easiest to oaerate, and 
simplest ever placed before the pnblic; any boy over 
8 years of age can learn to nse it; Ladies operate it 
with great success, and are delighted with its working. 
Its range of work is well nigh unlimited, running from 
the finept in Tortoise Shell to a 11-inch board. In beau¬ 
ty of finish, capacity for working, ease and symplicity of 
operation, it is believed to be altogether unsurpassed by 
any machine of its kind. Manttfaclured by A. II. Ship- 
man, Rochester, N.Y. This useful Premium we will sup¬ 
ply for four subscriptions at $1.53 each. [Or we will 
supply one for $3.00]. Expressnge or freight from the 
manufactory to be paid by the recipient in either case. 
No. 2 I 9.—The Demas Lathe and Saw. 
—Newand Improved . — In this most usefnl Premium wo- 
offer an amatenr Turning Lathe and Bracket Saw, both 
being thoroughly practical, and at a price that puts the- 
machine within the reach of all. This machine is made 
by the manufacturer of the “ Holly,” Mr. A. H. SinrMAN, 
Rochester, N. Y., a fact which atonce commends it to the 
public. The same principles are followed as in the Holly, 
except that being heavier, it has more power for heavier 
work, but still does the very finest and most delicate. 
The saw can be thrown in and out of position in five sec¬ 
onds, and both saw and lathe can be run at the same time; 
the saw runs with great velocity, and will hold the finest 
blade for most delicate work, or with a coarse blade ent 
inch stuff; it has a nickel p’ated Tilting Table. The 
bed of the Lathe is 2 ft. long by H in. wide and 2J in. 
deep, built on the same principle as a machinist’s lathe; 
with moulding at top or bottom ; it has V-shaped ways 
for head and tail-block, possessed by no other amateur 
lathe, and all know its advantage; it will turn a block 
5^ in. diameter by 18 in. long—very large fer an 
amateur lathe. The spindle for head-block is steel, nicely 
fitted up with collars. Spnr-center, and screw for at¬ 
taching different chucks, has cone-pulley with two lifts,, 
one for light work, the other for heavy work. It. 
has a solid Emery Wheel Si in. by f face, which acts as 
a family Grind-stone, and is also of great importance 
in roughing off work. Like maDV other points, this is 
novel with this manufacture; with this, a piece may be 
roughed off nearly as fast and as well as if it were driven 
by power—and work can be done with this that wouli 
otherwise be almost impossible. The tail-block has steel 
spindle with balance ball handle, for adjusting, and a 
knerled set screw for holding in position; it has double 
rests, one 4-in. for short, and one 12-in. for bedstead 
stuff, croquet handles, etc.; these rests are adjustable in 
every conceivable position. It has a heavy balance-wheel 
with two grooves, and is mounted upon two well shaped 
ami braced sides. When all set up, it is claimed that it 
makes the largest, most powerful, and while in opera¬ 
tion the most steady Amateur Lathe and Saw in the 
market. Its combination of chucks are novel, and are 
only furnished with this machine. And with the Illus¬ 
trated Manual which accompanies each will be found 
such full instructions as will enable almost any one to 
become a professional in both turning and sawing. The 
price of this mest valuable and useful premium is only 
$8.00. We will present one complete for ten subscrib¬ 
ers sent to ns at $1.‘0 each.—[Or we will supply one for- 
$8.] The freight in either case to be paid by receiver-
