Computed in Farm Produce, or contrasted 
witH the cost of Labor, our Machines are 
cheaper than when prices were nominally 
the lowest. The great scarcity and high price of labor 
will compel farmers to rely almost entirely upon Machinery 
In gathering their hay and grain crops. As the Buckeye 
has always been sold out of the market greatly in advance 
of all other Machines, those farmers who mean to secure the 
BEST, should order at once. 
Circulars can be obtained of any of our Agents, or will 
be forwarded by mail.

“ Of all the Evaporators we have seen, the most satisfacto¬ 
ry results arc from Cook’s.’’—7-^mine Farmer. 
“The only one which attained general success last year.”— 
Ohio Farmer. 
“ Six years’ thorough trial demonstrates that It is without 
a rival either in the eenuomy of its use, or the excellence of 
its work.”— Farmer, 
We manufacture a Pan for Brick Arch on the same princi¬ 
ple at about half the price of the Evaporator.

“ Our attention was arrested bytlic performances ofa Xew 
Sorgo Mill.slunvn by the inventor, Mr. Clark, of the Clark 
Sorgo Macliine Coinpanj', of Cincinnati. Every efiort was 
made to choke the null, by crowding it to exce.ss with cane, 
bagasse, limbfi of tj'ees, nearly the size of a man’s wrist, etc. • 
but its motion was as steady and Inexorable as the wheel of 
fate. The striking feature in the mill is tlie rejection of the 
scraper, or ‘Dumb Heturn,’ by which a saving of at lea.sl one 
thira of the power was efi'ected. There is not a key in the 
whole mill: so that it can*be taken to pieces and set up again 
in a few minutes. The lower-journals rest in oil-tight boxes, 
and the oiling arrangement is perfect. Spring scrapers clean 
the back rolls, and a perforate(l plate or oridge prevents the 
bagasse from ‘mopping up’ the juice as it leaves the mill. 
Nearly two thousand mills have been put out bv tlie Clark 
Sorgo Machine Co. during the last season. Such'is the pop¬ 
ularity with wliich the new mill has been received. It merits 
the attention of every Sorgocultivator.”—/udia;irt;5oZw Jour¬ 
nal. (At the Indiana State Fair.) 
Our Mills embrace no less than 11 difl'erent patents, which 
cover about every excellence attainable iu a mill. Send for
