THE QUESTION SOLVED. 
Cook’s Improved Portable 
]$vapoi*atoi* 
FOR MAKING SORGHUM & MAPLE SUGAR, 
All doubts are dispelled ! That Chinese Cane yields true. Cane 
Sugar is a settled question. The difficulties in securing its 
granulation have been entirely overcome by the invention of 
Cook’s Evaporator. By its peculiar arrangement it throws off 
al scum and feculencies, and secures a deposite of a kind 
of wav, which would otherwise prevent granulation, and 
WHICH HAS YET BEEN REMOVED BY NO OTHER 
PROCESS. Thus m this machine ate combined all the requi¬ 
sites for defecating without chemical*, and evaporating with an 
unparalleled rapidity. 
fcsMSend ia orders early, as multitudes were disappointed by 
waiting too long last year. 
PUBLIC OPINION 
‘‘Operates admirably.”— Am. Agriculturist. 
“ By it actual, veritable sugar is produced from the juice ot 
the new saccharine plant, with certainty, expedition, and pro¬ 
fit.”— Horace Greely , N. Y. Tribune, Feb. 15, 1860. 
‘‘This is a very valuable invention.”— Scientific American. 
‘‘The most successful of its class at the Fairs this season.”— 
Ohio Cultivator. 
“ The working is beautiful, and an entire success.”— Cleve¬ 
land Plaindealcr. 
“ It is to the Chinese cane, what the cotton gin is to cotton.” 
— Middebury. Vt., Register. 
“ A new source of wealth is thus opened for our farmers.”— 
Fort Wayne, Ind.. Sentinel. 
“ Was in full blast all day, and did its work to everyone’s sa¬ 
tisfaction.”— Albany Evening Journal. 
From the Hon. John Sherman. 
I have no hesitation in recommending it as a valuable in¬ 
vention. The sugar and molasses are both of a superior quality, 
and cheaply and cleanly made. JOHN SHERMAN.” 
From Hon. Thos. II. Ford, Ex-Governor of Ohio. 
Mansfield, O. 
‘ I hereby certify that I exhibited samples of sugar made by 
D. M. Cook on his Evaporator at the Patent Office of the United 
States, in February last, and that upon examination and com¬ 
parison, it was pronounced superior to any other. 
THOMAS H. FORD. 
“It combines the most valuable points ever developed in the 
manufacture of syrup or sugar.”— Milwaukee Democrat. 
“ In its province the * Excelsior.’ ”— Chicago Herald. 
“ It converted sugar cane juice into good syrup in the course 
of twenty to thirty minutes.”— Freeport Daily Journal. 
“The whole process is commenced and completed in the same 
Evaporator.”— Report Com. Illinois State. Fair. 
“A more simple, economical, yet philosophical arrangement 
could not be devised for the purpose.” Report Ag. Soc., Addi¬ 
son Co., Vt. 
IHjiCANE SEED AT A MODERATE PRICE WILL BE 
FURNISHED BY US.

THE DEEP BREAKING DP PLOW. 
This Plow turns a furrow TWO FEET DEEP and of 
corresponding width. 
When desired, the furrow can be deepened another 
foot with my new subsoil Trench Plow, thus turning up 
the soil Three Feel deep . 
It is the most suitable Plow ever used for preparing ihe 
ground for Vineyards and Nurseries, or for any oilier crop 
inquiring an extra deep tilth. It pulverizes the soil bel¬ 
ter, and leaves the ground in a finer condition than can 
be done bv the spade, and at about one fourth, the expense 
— thus making it a great labor-saving machine. 
THE SUBSOIL TRENCH PLOW 
Penetrates Hie soil from one to three feet deep as re¬ 
quired. 
THE DRAIN PLOW 
For opening deep ditches for Tile or other drains. 
THE ROCK PLOW 
Turns out large stones or small rocks from either Ihe 
surface or subsoil. 
DEEP TILLERS. 
These Plows are made to run from 12 to 20 inches deep 
as required. 
THE GIBB’S PATENT CYLINDER PLOW 
Is celebrated for its ease of draft and the wide furrow 
it turns. 
POLISHED STEEL PLOWS 
For Texas, California, and all other parts of ihe United 
States. 
These are most suitable for clay and oilier adhesive 
soils, as they do not adhere to the mould board. They 
are light and strong, and of all sizes, from small one- 
horse to large four-horse. 
All the above plows are new patterns, manufactured 
for this market exclusively by myself. They are remark¬ 
able for light draft and the perfection of their work. 
In addition to the foregoing, I keep upwards of one 
nuNDUED and fifty other kinds of Plows.

find it. to his advantage i<> examine the Buckeye. The demand 
having considerably exceeded the supply ffir ilia past two sea¬ 
sons, farmers will avoid disappointment by sending their orders 
early in the season. Circulars forwarded on applied' ion, by mail 
or oiherwise. JOHN P. ADR1ANOE,

Farm and Plantation Mill. 
AGENCY NO 45 GOLD-ST., N. Y. 
The experience of the past year lias tested the value of the 
above invention, and proved that it is the Mill of the age, and 
best entitled to public confidence ; that b is bound to supersede 
those now m use. on account, of its intrinsic worth. 
For hulling Buckwheat it. is superior *o all other inventions; 
and for grinding middlings, no otln-r in'll can compare with it. 
One half the power required to run the ordinary Burr Stone 
Mill, will drive this, ami at ihe same time do as much and as 
good work !
