ARE TAKING THE LEAD. 
PLANT SORGHUM. 
Toungman’s Patent Sorghum Evaporator 
and Refiner removes all of the dis¬ 
agreeable Sorghum Flavor. 
IT IS THE ONLY PERFECT EVAPORATOR. 
The proprietors of the above Evaporator call the atten¬ 
tion of the public lo the superior merits of tills invention. 
They claim that it is the best machine for making sorghum 
syrup and sugar, maple sugar, beet sugar, and other sim¬ 
ilar products. 
It has the following- Excellencies, viz.: 
Excellencies.— 1. It is the cheapest Evaporator ever 
made, requiring no arch, brick work, or other expenses after 
it leaves the manufacturer’s hand. Any person who can 
afford to buy a lumber wagon, can buy one of these Evap¬ 
orators. 
Triumphant at the Paris Universal Exposition, 1S67. Two Grand Gold Medals and the Decoration of the “Cross of the 
Legion of Honor” conferred by His Majesty, Emperor Napoleon, upon the inventor, WALTER A. WOOD. 
First Prize— Gold Medal— at Great National Field Trial held at Auburn, N. Y., in 1865. 
First Prize at Grand State Trial held at Rochester, Minn., August 20th, 21st, 22d, 23d, 1867. 
Together with over 150 first prizes in other contests. 
2. It. will do more evaporating, and with less fuel, In a 
day, than any other Evaporator, with the same capacity of 
pan. 
3. It will make better svrnp from sorghum cane juice than 
any other E'-aporator invented, removing, as it does, all of 
the well-known disagreeable sorghum flavor. 
Over 90,000 manufactured are now in use in Europe and America. The demand in 1867 greater than the supply. 
Increasing demand with increased facilities for manufacturing for the coming season, 186S. 
WOOD’S “PRIZE” BICWER, retaining all its popular advantages, is improved by valuable additions. 
WOOD’S SELF-RAKIIVG REAPER, easily managed, of light draft, is the “ Victor of Every Contest,” and 
forms, with the new Mowing Attachment, the most perfect combined machine in use. 
WOOD’S HAND-RAKING REAPER, readily changed from Reaper to Mower, and vice versa, recom¬ 
mends itself. 
HAUVE’S ILLINOIS HARVESTER, especially adapted for the West, Is made of good materials, and 
gives satisfaction. 
4. It is remarkably easy to manage, as by a well-arranged 
system of dampers, tlie heat can be graduated lo any de¬ 
gree under the pans, instantly. One man can work the 
Evaporator—with ease. 
6. It is portable, and may he lifted into a wagon bv two 
or three men. without difficulty-, and lienee can be trans¬ 
ported from farm to farm, or from field to Held, with the 
greatest facility. 
The foregoing are points of excellence which sorghum 
growers will appreciate, and in support of them we append 
the following nigh testimony.

Testimony.— “* * The great objection to tlie use of 
sorghum syrup lias heretofore been its characteristic un¬ 
pleasant flavor. But this flavor seemed lo be entirely re¬ 
moved by your process, and tlie syrup assimilated in taste to 
tlie best sugar-house syrup. * " —Letter from Hon. Isaac 
Newton, Commissioner of Agriculture, dated May 3 cl, 1867. 
“* * Youngman’s Evaporator now stands without a suc¬ 
cessful rival. It lias been approved by tlie most reliable 
authorities, and seems to be almost a national blessing. * * 
From tlie finishing pan tlie syrup flows in a continuous 
stream, perfectly purified and refined from all mucilaginous, 
gummy, and objectionable substances, and equal to tlie best 
of refined syrups. It is then in the best possible state for 
granulation, being entirely freed from glucose. This Evap¬ 
orator is very light and portable, as it can lie easily lilted 
into a lumber wagon and conveyed from place to place 
Tlie capacity of the machine is from eight to ten gallons 
per hour, and tlie consumption of wood is no more than an 
old-fashioned box stove.”— Extract from article on Improved 
Farm Implements in the Agricultural Report of the Patent 
Office for the year I860. 
“* * From tlie last, pan, called ‘tlie finisher,’ the liquid 
comes out a most delicious svrnp, pure as red-clover honey 
and as free from tlie disagreeable vegetable taste as maple 
syrup. * * * This machine lias every excellent characteristic 
to recoirtmend it. Every part is most efficient, and one man 
can make one hundred gallons of syrup in one day with a 
small quantity of fuel. 11 is compact, will last almost a life¬ 
time with proper care, and can lie employed for making 
maple sugar, or maple svrnp. or beet sugar, quite as satis¬ 
factorily as it can lie used when making sorghum syrup ** " 
—Agricultural Editor New York Times, Weekly Edition 
Sept. 19. 1867. 
“The Committee appointed by tlie Farmers’ Club to ex¬ 
amine Youngman’s Evaporator desire to report that they 
went to Baltimore and there supervised an experiment with 
the above-named Evaporator; and it affords them saiisfac- 
. - - ------.c fifty 
gallons of syrup is also an economical item. * * * Tlie 
great simplicity and durability of every part of this device 
constitute another point of pre-eminent importance in tlie 
estimation of tlie Coinmirtee. * * Extracts from report 
of Committee of Formers' Club of American Institute to 
meeting of Club held in October, 1867. 
“I planted about three-fourths of an acre of cane which 
was manufactured by Youngman’s Evaporator. Tlie cane 
was only of medium quality. Tlie product was 128 "-alionsof 
syrup; two loads ot fodder, equal to tlie best timothy liny 
and a full two-horse load of seed, which for cattle feed is 
not excelled. The quality of the best syrup is equal to the 
best syrup of commerce, while the inferior is equal to the 
best baking molasses.”— Rev. Joseph Stevens, Jersey Shore Pa 
Success.— Although this Evaporator lias jnst'been intro¬ 
duced, it has already taken tlie first premium at six State 
Fairs, and lias taken the first premium over every other 
Evaporator wherever exhibited. 
Premiums.— During the year 1SG8, tlie proprietors of 
this Evaporator for the purpose of inducing a wide spread 
trial of its merits, will present to every purchaser tlie fol¬ 
lowing three articles as a premium, viz.: A beautiful Silver- 
Plated Cake-Basket, Silver-Plated Syrup Cup, and Silver- 
Plated Butter-Dish. All of these articles are substantially 
made and of elegant design. They will be sent with tlie 
Evaporator securely packed, free of charge to every pur¬ 
chaser on receipt of tlie price of the Evaporator Where 
Evaporators are sent, price to be paid on delivery These 
premiums will he sent as soon as tlie undersigned’ are in¬ 
formed that tlie Evaporators have been paid lor. 
Price.— The price of the Evaporator complete is S200. 
It will be sent to any address on receipt of tlie price A 
draft on New York City to tlie order of the General Agents 
or on Baltimore, to the orejer of tlie manufacturers, is the 
best method ot payment. Machines will also be sent to 
any address, price to he collected on delivery, on receipt ot 
satisfactory assurances by tlie undersigned of tlie responsi¬ 
bility of the parties ordering. 
Full and explicit directions sent with each Evaporator

tofifty cents per gallon more than that made on any other.
