SORGO AND SUGAR 0ANE MILLS. 
During the height of the sorgo produc¬ 
tion in the Northern States, nearly every 
considerable iron foundry in the country 
went into the manufacture of sorgo mills, 
and the consequence was the production of 
a host of inferior machines. Now the busi¬ 
ness is narrowed down to a few first-class 
establishments, winch turn out only first- 
class work. Chief of these in till the North¬ 
ern States is the great manufactory of Geo. 
L. SquiKu & Brother of Buffalo, N. Y., 
which wc recently visited, and found the 
proprietors very busily engaged in filling 
orders for Sugar Cane machines. Having 
been familiar with the progress of sorghum 
culture, aud watched the improvements in 
the machinery for its manufacture since its 
first introduction, we were much interested 
in examining the many improvements they 
have introduced; and after thoroughly ex¬ 
amining the extent and variety of their i 
machinery, wore not surprised that it is tak- | 
ing the lead, not only in the markets of this 
country, but in foreign countries. They 
manufacture a large variety of Cane .Mills, 
at prices varying from $40 to $3,000, and 
adapted to the wants of the grower of one 
acre or one thousand acres. While they 
have a large trade in the sorghum growing 
States, their greatest demand comes from 
the Southern sugar growing States,and they 
have a large and rapidly increasing foreign 
trade. The day wc were there, they were 
shipping mills to Central America, and had 
on the stocks another lot to fill an 'order 
from Mexico, among which was one of their 
popular “ Mammoth " Mills, which is, in¬ 
deed, a mammoth in size and strength, 
weighing over eight tons. A notlier “ Mam¬ 
moth" Mill was in process of construction, 
to fill tin order from Cuba. 
Very important improvements in these 
mills are the use of rubber springs or cush¬ 
ions, by moans of which the rollers are made 
entirely self-adjusting; and wrought iron 
stay-bolts or stirrups, by means of which the 
strain is thrown upon wrought iron. 
The great value of these improvements 
is obvious to any one who has any 
knowledge of the working of a cane 
mill. The self-adjustability of the roll¬ 
ers insures the perfect grinding of till 
the cane, whether the stalks he small 
or large, whether ibd light or heavy; 
facilitates the feeding, and in a great 
measure compensates for the careless¬ 
ness of the feeder, and prevents dog¬ 
ging and breaking. It also requires 
less power to drive ft self-adjusting 
mill, for the springs bear the strain of 
unequal feeding instead of the team, 
and the sudden pinches and “let ups” 
and jerking commonly experienced in ^ 
working the rigid mills, are effectually j® 
done away with. The advantage of j||j 
throwing the strain upon wrought iron, 
especially in the smaller mills, where 
the weight of metal is necessarily limit- "S 
ed, is obvious to anyone who is nc- | 
quainted with the treacherous nature if 
of cast iron when subjected to severe 
Strain. The rubber springs and wrought 
iron stay-bolts tire applied to all sizes 
of these mills. 
The “Croneher” mill, illustrated in the 
accompanying cut, is having :i large run in 
Louisiana mid other sugar growing States, 
and has taken the first premium at every 
fair at which il lias been exhibited. Wo see 
by the testimonials of planters who Imvo 
used it, that it. is easily driven by three or 
four mules, and will grind cane enough in 
twenty-four hours for three or four hogs¬ 
heads of sugar 
The Afflicted Mule. 
In Rural New-Yorker of May 20 I saw 
an article from a Florida subscriber, asking 
for help for his afflicted mule. In reply, I 
give a recipe for woundsOne quart of 
alcohol; one ounce Cayenne pepper; one. 
pint, spirits turpentine. Shake well, aud it 
is fit for use. 
Scratches Remedy. 
Two ounces Castile soap ; two ounces 
resin; one ounce lard ; two ounces cop¬ 
peras, and white of an egg ; stew r it for 
fifteen minutes, and it is fit for use. Bind 
it on the part for twenty-four hours; then 
wash it well, and the cure is performed, if it 
does well. 
ISnlve to tlenl Wounds. 
Take a piece of poke root about the size 
of an egg, and two Indian turnips, ground 
fine, and stew one minute with a pound of 
lard. Put it on every third day. I give 
these three recipes, hoping that some one 
of them will help his mule.—a. n. it.

Remedy lor a Sprinu-Kneed Horse. 
We find the following recommended, 
when this trouble is caused by a contraction 
of the muscles or sinews:—Pare down the 
heels of Ids feet us low as possible, have him 
shod with a toe upon the shoe, and no corks. 
Use a penetrating liniment, which will cause 
llie sinews to stretch. Take half a junt of 
spirits of wine, I oz. bear’s oil, 1 oz. neat’s 
foot oil, 1 oz. spirits of camphor, l oz. oil of 
origanum, I oz. oil of sassafras, 1 oz. lauda¬ 
num ; mix it, all well in a bottle; rub it in 
well with the band. This is a very pene¬ 
trating liniment, and will effect si cure. 
THE ORONCHER MILL 
They make a tremendously heavy and 
strong horse power for Southern plantation 
use, where the horse powers in common use 
tit the North are found to be worthless. 
These “ Samson ” Powers are very simple 
in construction, thoroughly braced, and 
twiefe as heavy and strong as the ordinary 
powers intended for the same number of 
horses. They are just the kind of powers 
to drive their large cane mills, and by the 
aid of speed jacks (of which they make 
various sizes), tiny required speed can be 
obtained for running cotton gins, corn mills,

NOTES FOR HORSEMEN, 
A Horse flint Breaks Wind. 
I have a pleasant driving aud handsome 
pony, four years old, which lias the very 
unpleasant habit of breaking wind quite 
often and continuously. Can you tell what 
10 do to atop It? I don’t want, to sacrifice 
or sell her at all, and will send you the price 
of subscription for three Rural New York¬ 
er’s if you can tell. I may say if is not 
hay that causes it, as I have fed her that but 
once a day during the winter, and none at 
all since. I feed her oats three limes a day, 
ami site cals probably a very little of her 
bedding or straw. 8lic lias also had bran 
Shipping a Mure in Foul. 
T. J. Shoot, Illinois, asks “ how much 
more liable to injury is a mare in foal (say 
Six mouths) when shipped by mil live hun¬ 
dred to six hundred miles,than a horse, ora 
mare not in foal.” Our uphffon is there 
would be considerably more risk. A fright, 
shock, or accident of any sort, which would 
not injure the horse or mare not in lbal, 
might seriously injure Ihe mare in foal, or 
the offspring. Wo should much rather In¬ 
sure the safety of the horse, or mare not in 
foul. We cannot reply more definitely. 
THE THRESHER OF THE PERIOD, 
Early in the days of the agricultural im¬ 
plement, business in Ohio, Mr. Cornelius 
Aultman of Canton, led off with so much 
of successful generalship that in connection 
with his chosen associates, he had built up 
one of the .largest and moat popular manu¬ 
factories in Hie country. The productions 
of this house were divided between the 
manufacture of Buckeye Reapers and Mow¬ 
ers and of threshing machines, Mr. II. II. 
Taylor of Chicago meanwhile bad a par¬ 
ticular genius for selling these popular ma¬ 
chines, and had become the largest operator 
in this line in all the Western country. 
When in process of time the manufacture of 
Buckeyes had so increased as to absorb the 
principal attention of the works at Clanton, 
a project was set on foot, to build a mam¬ 
moth establishment at Mansfield, for llie 
manufacture of Threshers alone, and who so 
proper to be at the head of ihis business as 
the chief of the manufacturing house at Can¬ 
ton and this chief of the selling house at 
Chicago ? 
Accordingly, some three years ago, with 
all the capital that was needed, ami all the 
business capacity that was needed, Messrs. 
Aultman A Taylor set up their works 
upon an eligible site in Ihe city of Mansfield, 
in Central Northern Ohio, at the crossings 
of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, 
the Sandusky, Mansfield A Newark, and the 
Allan tic A Great Western Railroads; and 
A SSni*teficr* 1 (In hi: nt Cornell University, 
A Correspondent writes us: — “ Dr. 
Law, the Professor of Veterinary Surgery, 
in Cornell University, has just performed an 
operation on the jaw of a horse which I be¬ 
lieve is quite new, at least in this country. 
The horse bad run away aucl struck his jaw 
against a tree, breaking the bone entirely off 
jirst behind the angle of the lips on the left 
side. Holes were drilled (see Illustration) 
through the jaw on each side of the frac¬ 
ture, wine was passed through them, (lie 
ends were brought together and twisted 
tightly; the twisted end was thou brought 
closely down to the jaw and covered with a 
pud of gufta porcini. The jaws were then 
surrounded with a starch bandage so that 
the horse could not move them, but could 
be fed on gruel until the ends of the bone 
were united.” 
mash and flax seed once or twice a week. 
No horseman here can tell me what to do ; 
and as it is a common fault, with horses, it 
may prove generally useful to make known 
your remedy, if you have one.—n. v. 
We know no positive remedy. Dadd 
recommends giving ft tonic:—One drachm 
of tincture of aromatic sulphuric acid, in a 
pint of water, night and morning, and an 
ounce of the following alterative medicines, 
every night in the food : Powdered ginger, 
gentian, sulphur, salt, cream of tartar, char¬ 
coal, licorice, elecampane, caraway seeds, 
and balm of Gilead buds, (chopped fine), 
equal parts. He recommends change of 
diet, exercise, ancl management calculated 
It is a tremendously strong 
mill, thoroughly braced by heavy wrought 
iron bolts and stays, and marvelously com¬ 
pact for a mill in which llie horse-power 
and mill are combined in one machine. The 
crown wheel is hung under llie lnidge-treo, 
iaa heavy bearing with adjustable bushings, 
while the gears are outside of the housings, 
where the cane cannot get into them. 
The “Samson” mill, herewith illustrated, 
is a very neat and compact vertical mill, 
having the self-adjusting rollers and wrought 
iron stay-bobs like other mills. This mill 
has a large sate in sorghum districts, aud is 
used to a considerable extent by small 
planters in the sugar growing States. It lias 
a very admirable turn-plate, or scraper, 
which can bo instantly removed and re¬ 
placed without tools, and is adjusted by a 
set-screlv. There are four sizes of vertical 
mills, all embodying - the various improve¬ 
ments. 
In the line of evaporators are a great 
variety of sizes adapted to the various sized 
mills. They are made of heavy Juniata 
non, with iron sides and ends, are very sim- 
P o and easy to work, and so arranged as to 
have the heal under perfect control. Strong, 
wi ll made iron furnaces are furnished for 
those who desire portable evaporators ; and 
giates, doors, Ac., for those who prefer brick 
arches. 
Remedy foe n. Couch. 
We have used the following with good 
result, when a horse combined to cough 
after having distemper :—Balsam of fir, one 
ounce; sweet spirits of niter, two ounces; 
sirup of garlic, four ounces. Dissolve the 
balsam in Hie niter and then add the garlic. 
Give in thin gruel one ounce night and 
morning. Deprive the horse of his usual 
amount of water, and compel him to drink 
flax-seed or slippery elm tea. This is our 
answer to 8. H., Freedom, Minn. 
Tu Prevent it Horse Putviua in the Stable. 
Take a small chain, about a foot long, tie 
it above his knee and lot one cud hang 
down ; or take a strap, and from the same 
bang a large burr on the lower end. I will 
warrant a cure.—A bial '1 iiomas.
