T his is the fourth year that this mill has been before the 
public, and, as in all similar cases, improvements have been added, as it has been found necessary. Some of the following 
are the most important: 
1 .—The Mill has been increased in size, so that we can put under, a tub that holds nearly three bushels of apples after they are 
ground. 
2.—Instead of a solid bottom board, or one covered with cloth, to go under the tub, I have a bottom board grooved in a peculiar 
manner, and both it and the tub, after repeated and severe trials, have been found the best for the purpose—as they will always 
let the cider out clear and free from pomace. 
3.—The bottom or floor is constructed entirely different from the former ones ; and the pomace box has been much increased in 
size,by passing behind and below the floor. 
4.—The castings have been made much heavier (about one-fifth;) and the shaft s run in iron boxes bolted together. 
5.—Heretofore great trouble has occurred in getting cylinders that would not swell and get out of place. That difficulty has now 
been overcome, by making them of IRON altogether. 
On examination of the whole, I am satisfied that you will agree, that nothing is wanting or omitted, to make it a good, durable 
and perfect machine. All these improvements have, of course, cost much ; and indeed they will stand me over 25 per cent, shove 
the cost of them two years ago. 
I am often asked how mucli cider can be made in them in a day ? and I generally answer, from ten to twelve barrels. But we 
hare made four barrels per hour on them. To do this, I should put about two hands on it, with enough attendants to bring the 
apples and carry away the cider and pomace ; and should run it by steam power—with the understanding that I would not use 
over a \ inch belt, nor run it. faster than a man could turn it, nor use more power than a good sized boy would exert on the crank. 
The pressing would be done by hand, and the pomace be shoveled into the tub. Sixty bushels an hour can well and easily be 
ground on it, and of course, the Mill would stand idle one-third of the time. 
The following are but a small portion of the premiums that have been granted to this Mill : 
A MEDAL from the World’s Fair, New-York.

RECOMMENDATIONS. 
Jacicstown, June 15, 1854. 
W. O. Hickok : Sir—I have one of your Improved Cider Mills; I used the Mill last October, and on trial I ground fifty bushels 
of apples per hour. I keep the ground apples twelve hours, and I can press out two barrels of cider per hour with two men. I can 
recommend your Improved Cider Mill to all fruit growers, for speed and a saving of labor. I can make thirty-five gallons of cider 
from nine and one-half bushels of common apples. The cider can be pressed from Uie pomace without using water now. Cider 
will keep one year when water is not used at the press. John M’Combe.

T he attention of farmers is 
requested to a new FERTILIZER, prepared from the 
night soil collected from the sinks and privies of New-York 
city, by the LODI MANUFACTURING COMPANY, and 
manufactured without any adulteration whatever, into a pow¬ 
erful manure—something like guano, but less caustic, and less 
exhausting to the soil. It is called 
T A F E U, 
from the Chinese w'ord signifying prepared night soil, and is the 
only article of the kind ever manufactured in this country. It 
is warranted to be 95 per cent pure night soil; and from its 
ease of transportation and application, and the small quantity 
required to produce the same result as heavier manures, it is 
the CHEAPEST MANURE ever offered for sale. For grass in 
the fall, for winter grain, or for garden vegetables, it has no 
equal. 
From 300 to 600 lbs. per acre is all the dressing required for 
the poorest soils. A fair trial in competition with other ma¬ 
nures isresr^tfully asked. Packed in barrels of 240 lbs., or bags 
of 125 lbs. > ice $35 per tun, or 1?4 cts. per lb., delivered free of 
cartage on' .ird of vessels or railroads in the city of New-York.
