JAMES M. MILLER, AUCTIONEER. 
A uction sale of thorough¬ 
bred DEVON CATTLE. 
The subscriber proposes to sell at Auction, his entire herd of 
thoroughbred “ Herd Book” Devonshire Cattle, on 
WEDNESDAY, 17th OCTOBER next, 
at his farm, 2 % miles from Troy, N. Y., comprising 11 head of 
breeding Cows, and about 9 head of Bulls, Heifer and Bull 
Calves. 
The originals of this fine herd were selected with great care 
through importations from England, and purchases in this coun¬ 
try, and they have been bred wuh equal care, and all will ad¬ 
mit on examination, they are a splendid herd of this popular 
breed of cattle. 
Among the herd is the beautiful, 3-year-old, imported bull 
MAY BOY, bred by John T. Davy, Esq., of South Moulton, 
Devonshire, England, Editor of the English Devon Herd Book. 
This bull, as will be seen by his pedigree, is descended from the 
highest strain of blood that England affords; and for perfection 
in symmetry, vigor and sprightly action, it will be difficult to 
find his superior. His get, as will be seen in the herd, will at¬ 
test his superiority as a stock getter. 
There is, also, among the herd, a beautiful 4-yoar-old Heifer 
and her Bull Calf. She was imported from the celebrated herd 
of Lord Leicester. 
A credit of 12 months will be given for approved paper on in¬ 
terest. Catalogues of the animals will soon be, issued, with 
pedigrees and further particulars, and may be procured at the 
nfftces which publish this advertisement, and of the subscriber.

A—Grating cylinder, about 11 inches in diameter and 7 inches 
long. 
B—Band pulley of iron used when driven by Power, answering 
also for fly-wheel on shaft of cylinder A. 
G—Small speed gear on cylinder shaft, for driving it when 
worked by band. 
C—Small pulley on crank shaft which drives pulley and cam. 
E—Large pulley driven by C, moving cam F. 
F—Cam for driving feeding piston K, in bottom of hopper. 
H—Large speed gear wheel on crank shaft, working into piston 
G, to drive cylinder when worked by hand. 
K—Piston shown by dotted lines operated by cam F, in its cen¬ 
ter, and serves to press forward the apples against the gratin; 
cylinder. 
O—Band connecting feed-pulleys. 
XX—Top girts or supporting plates of mill. 
Y Y Y—Cross girts between plates. 
Among the advantages of this Mill are the following: This 
piston action in feeding apples or other substances, avoids all 
choking and cloggingof cylinder or its teeth—the cam is so 
constructed as to make a uniform progression in its whole mo¬ 
tion, and allowing the piston to recede by means of a spring ac¬ 
tion instantly—and the progressing motion of the piston occupy¬ 
ing more than 9-10ths of its whole revolution and the backing of 
piston less than l-10th. The feeding motion is obtained by 
means of a small band driven from a pulley C, on crank shaft, to 
large pulley E, on cam shaft. Thus, while it makes a sure and 
steady feeding, the band by an adjusting pulley is made suffi¬ 
ciently light to do the work, and yet sufficiently loose to slip and 
stop feeding, if any foreign substance like stones or iron gets 
into the mill, and thereby avoids breakage and repairs—adesid- 
eratum never before obtained in a portable cider mill. It can 
be readily worked by hand by one or two men, as it is provided 
with two crank handles, one at each end of the crank shaft. 
The Press is constructed with an iron stress beam, above and 
below—the upper beam formed into an inverted step ” in which 
the nut moves. The nut (as shown^in 
the figure,) is formed by cutting a 
screw thread in the hub of a strong 
bevel wheel which is about 20 inches 
in diameter.—The pressure screw is 2 
inches in diameter, and a slot cut its 
whole length, and a corresponding slot 
in the Supper beam. Into ihis slot a 
loosely fitted steel key is placed, fitting 
both screw and beam: thus, while it 
does not prevent, the screw moving endways, it prevents it from 
revolving with the nut . The nut is moved by means of the bevel 
gear on its outer under edge, and o bevel pinion working into it. 
This pinion is moved by a crank or a ratchet lever, similar to 
tlie action of the handle of an ordinary pump in raising water. 
While this is of greater capacity than any other portable press, 
it is capable of withstanding three times the stress of any before 
offered the farmers of this country. Its weight is about three 
hundred pounds. Price $45, and Warranted.

tural Works, by EMERY BROTHER'S, Proprietors.
