AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
397 
Mo. 227.—Zimmerman Fruit-Dryer.— 
Those who have not given the subject attention wil be 
surprised at the magnitude of the fruit traffic in this 
country. In the canning business 
alone oxer five millions of dollars are 
invested. One of the easiest and best 
methods for procuring fruit is by dry¬ 
ing, and of the many devices offered to 
the public none have been better re¬ 
ceived than Zimmerman's Fruit Dryer, 
made by the Zimmerman Fruit Dryer 
Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio. In order 
that our readers may secure one of 
these useful articles at comparatively 
small cost, we have arranged with the 
Company to present one of these 
Dryers to any one sending us 35 
subscriptions at $1.50 each [or we 
will furnish one for $35.00], The receiver to pay freight. 
No. 223.—Americus Senior Cider and 
Wine Mi 11 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 each 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 40 subscriptions at $1.50 each, we will present 
•one of these mills [or will forward one on the receipt of 
$40], the receiver, in either case, to pay the freight. 
The Manufacturers will send full descriptions of the Mill 
und Press on application.

No. 226.—The Monitor Corn Sheiler.

ular little machine than the 
hand Corn Sheiler made by

burgh, Pa., and called monitor 
Coni Shelter. It is admirably 
adapted for shelling seed corn, 
where care must be taken in 
not breaking the outside cover¬ 
ing of the kernel. It is easily

This labor-saving implement, doing the work better and 
faster than half a dozen men with hand-rakes, is wanted 
on every farm. The annual interest on its cost, is about 
the same as the cost of one day’s work and board of a 
mau. We have arranged with the Gale Manufacturing

No. 232. — Matthews’ Carden Seed 
Drill. —This is regarded as one of the most valuable 
implements in use. Medals and testimonials confirming 
its superiority have been repeatedly bestowed upon it. 
It is designed to be used either in field or garden. In 
operation, it opens the furrow, drops the seed accurately 
at the desired depth, covers it, and lightly rolls it, and at 
the same time marks the next row, all of which is done 
with mechanical precision, by simply pushing the 
drill forward. In this way it sows, with an evenness and 
rapidity impossible for the most skilful hand to do, all the 
different varieties of beet, carrot, onion, turnip, parsnip, 
sage, spinach, sorghum, peas, beans, broom corn, fodder 
corn, etc. The drill is complete in all its arrangements, 
and is very durable. There are no cams, gears, springs, 
or belts, to get out of order, nor are there any parts subject 
to unusual wear, and, with fair usage, it will last many 
years, and do a vast amount of service, without requiring 
any repairs. Made by Everett & Small, Boston, Mass. 
This fine implement given for 15 subscribers,at $1.50 each. 
[We will supply one lor $13.] Receiver to pay carriage. 
No. 233.—Sargent’s Monitor Seed 
Drill .—Made entirely of metal; light, strong, and du¬ 
rable. To this machine have been awarded two “First 
Premiums,” and also a diploma at the Massachusetts 
Mechanics’ Charitable Association in 1874. It was 
awarded the first prize at the Centennial Exposition in 
1876, and it has received hundreds of endorsements and 
most favorable testimonials from practical agriculturists 
who have used it. (We have used one with very great 
satisfaction). The manufacturers claim that this ma 
chine is radically different from all others, and tha; 
while it does everything that is done by other machines 
equally well, it effects other results, fully as important 
which competing machines do not even attempt. It is 
manufactured by the Merrimac Machine Company 
Newburyport, Mass. It will bo presented by us for 1: 
subscriptions, at $1.50 each. [Or we will supply one fo 
$10.] Carriage iu either case to be paid by the receiver
