THE CULTIVATOR. 
Notes and Inquiries. 
The Penn. State Ag. Society, whose Prize List 
we have just received from one of its Vice-Presidents, 
Amos E. Kapp, Esq., is to hold its next Fair at Pitts- 
bugh, from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1. 
Rock-Island Co. (Ill ) Ag. Society —This Society, 
whose Fair is to be held at Rock-Island, Sept. 8 and 9, 
has adopted the plan of paying most of its prizes in 
agricultural books and papers—among the latter a 
goodly number of the Country Gentleman are inclu¬ 
ded. 
jE§p‘ We are indebted to Suel Foster, Esq., Mus¬ 
catine, for the Prize List of the Iowa State Ag. Socie¬ 
ty, whose Fair is to be held at Oskaloosa, Sept. 28 to 
Oct. 1. 
Bound Volumes op The Cultivator.— D. S., Ohio , 
asks 1. What do the bound volumes of the “ Culti¬ 
vator ” cost, including postage ; and in what style are 
they bound 2 [One Dollar—bound in black cloth, con¬ 
taining 384 large and closely printed pages. Complete 
sets of the Third Series for 1853—’4,-’5—’6 and ’7, are 
supplied for $5 by mail, or sent by Express for $3.75.] 
2. Are the “Transactions of the State Agricultural 
Society,” sent gratis to all applications ; or, if not, 
what do they cost!” [They are generally printed 
merely for such members as according to each society’s 
bye-laws are entitled to them ; for public libraries, 
for distribution as premiums, for exchange between 
different societies, &c. They are therefore, seldom to 
be had by purchase, or in answer to ordinary applica¬ 
tions, although extra copies are occasionally to be 
procured in this way.] 3. Can you give me the ad¬ 
dress of either or all of the following persons, viz: 
the Corresponding Sec. of the New York State Ag. 
Society ; [Col. Benj. P. Johnson, Albany, N. Y.,] ditto 
of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture ; [Charles 
L. Flint, Esq., Boston, Mass. ;] Kentucky Ag. Socie¬ 
ty ; [R. W. Scott, Esq, Frankfort, Ky.} 
Sugar Cane Mill. —Several who have inquired for 
mills for crushing the Chinese Sugar Cane, are referred 
to the advertisement of Emery Brothers, in this pa¬ 
per. We are told that there is a cheaper mill for this 
purpose, made at Worcester, Mass. If so, the manu¬ 
facturers would promote their interest by advertising 
it. 
jpg'* I like the Country Gentleman immensely, 
especially the “ Grazier,” (which ought to be more 
voluminous,) as I believe in stock. Durham grades 
and Cotswolds are the stock for Canada, h. r. r. 
§3^ It is a maxim among an excellent class of far¬ 
mers, “That a good farm, like a good joint of meat, 
only requires basting with its own dripping.” Carry 
this out by using all the fertilizing materials which the 
farm will furnish, and there will be little need of going 
abroad for manures. It must be a system of mixed 
husbandry, however, and stock must be kept to aid in 
the manufacture of the “dressing” ever necessary in 
good farming. 
Insects. —A bright fire of resinous pine, tar, shav¬ 
ings, or any other combustible, kindled in the garden 
at night, on a platform erected for that purpose, will 
attract and destroy millions of insects. 
Agricultural Papers. —The commencement of a new 
volume of the Country Gentleman, (July 1) reminds us 
of the duty of suggesting that paper to our readers as in 
every respect excellent. Two dollars a year are well in¬ 
vested in .such a constant source of instruction and pleas¬ 
ure, in which everything is suggestive of intelligence and 
refinement. Albany: Luther Tucker & Son— Vermont

Ciller MiUs. 
T ITE subscriber being agent and Manufacturer of the 
justly celebrated lira user’s Patent Cider Mill, which 
has obtained such enviable notoriety wherever used, is 
prepared to furnish them for the coming season on most 
favorable terms, toagents and farmers. The machinehas 
never been excelled, having always come off triumphant 
at the various State and County Fairs where it has been 
exhibited. Circulars containing cuts and descriptions of 
the mills, as well as all other implements of our manufac¬ 
ture, sent gratis on application. The public are cautioned 
against purchasing or using an inferior imitation of our 
mill, which is at present being manufactured in this city, 
as all mills which are so constructed as to force the apples 
up to the grating cylinder by means of a plunger or plun¬ 
gers, infringe on the patent of the Krauser machine, and 
the purchasers of such lay themselves open to a suit for 
infringement. The true Krauser Mill will have the name 
of the inventor marked upon them. None without this 
name have a right to be sold. 
All orders for the above will receive our prompt and 
personal attention, and we feel assured we have it in our 
power to please the most fastidious. Liberal discounts for 
cash. Address HICH. H. PEASE,

SUGAR O AY UNTIE MILL. 
T HE above cut illustrates a new mill being manufac¬ 
tured in this city, by Messrs. Emery Brothers of 
the Albany Agl. Works, and is so calculated as to be 
driven by their Two‘Horse Railway Power. It is a Three 
Roller Horizontal Mill, with counter shaft and geered mo¬ 
tion. The Mill is strong and substantially made, and at¬ 
tached to a heavy and strong Avood frame. It is capable 
of expressing from Sixty to One Hundred Gallons of juice 
per hour, depending upon hoAV closely the rollers are ad¬ 
justed and the maturity of the cane. The driest pressing 
of the cane renders the richest juice. The Mills will be 
ready in time for the coming cane harvest.
