are much the most economical plants to buy. They will 
carry any distance with entire safety—cannot fail to make a 
strong and vigorous growth, and will bear a very abundant 
crop of fruit next summer. If desirable, they will produce 
by the coming fall, a large quantity of plants, worth many 
times the cost of original stock.

Successful Sorgo Machines. 
The only recognized Standards in Sorgo Machines are the 
Cook's Evaporator and the 
VICTOR CAME MULE. 
16,009 Cook’s Evaporators are in use, and 
10,000 Victor Cane Mills—all warranted. 
Awards— Cook’s Evaporator 1st Premium at 58 State Fairs !! 
do. Victor Cane Mill (introduced in 1S63), First Pre- 
mium at 31 State Fairs!! 
do. Both First Premiums at Louisiana Fair, New Or¬ 
leans, January 1868. 
All attempts thus far to equal these unrivaled machines 
by other contrivances have 
Signally failed on TRIALS. 
Farmers can’t afford to risk crops of Cane on Mills that 
break or choke , or Evaporators that do second class work, 
and only half enough at that. 
“While scores of new-fangled inventions have come up, 
had their day and subsided, the “Cook” goes right along, 
constantly increasing in reputation .”—Prairie Farmer. 
“The large number of those who are just entering the 
business of making syrup from Sorgo, justifies our calling 
attentfon to the superior Evaporator made by the Blymyer, 
Day Co. Successful trial for years has given their apparatus 
a deserved reputation for superior excellence; we can heart¬ 
ily recommend them.*'—American, Agriculturist. 
“We are acquainted with this machine, both by reputation 
and observation, and so far as we have observed, it is the 
only one which attained general success either at the fairs 
or among the people .”—Ohio Farmer.

CRESYLIC SOAP 
AMD 
Saponaceous Compounds, 
Disinfectant, Insect Destroyer, Pre¬ 
ventive of Fungus, etc. 
Frequent mention has been made in the columns of the 
American Agriculturist of Cresylic Compounds, as being 
valuable for destroying insects on animals'and plants, and 
for other purposes. For some months past we have been 
investigating the merits of these preparations, with the 
following results. 
Cresylic Acid is extracted from gas-tar, to which it gives 
the peculiar odor perceived on burning the tar. It has been 
used to a limited extent by chemists and physicians, for va¬ 
rious purposes, and their experiments have shown it to pos¬ 
sess remarkable properties as a disinfectant, and in destroy¬ 
ing insect life and fungus- growth. In its ordinary, form it 
could not be readily applied, and lienee was not available 
for common use. About two years since, Messrs. JAMES 
BUCHAN & CO., of New York, well-known as extensive 
manufacturers of family soaps, conceived the idea of com¬ 
bining tills acid in saponaceous compounds. By long and 
careful experimenting, they succeeded in producing soaps 
in various forms, possessing the active properties of this 
acid, and thus bringing it within the reach of all classes. 
These compounds have been patented. 
We have watched with great interest the results of vari¬ 
ous applications of these compounds, knowing that if suc¬ 
cessful, they would he of incalculable benefit to the commu¬ 
nity. By tests made under our own supervision, and the re¬ 
ports of careful observers, we believe it to be established 
that tiiese Cresylic Compounds are 
1st. Complete Disinfectants.— They not only re¬ 
move all noxious odors from sinks, privies, stables, etc., but 
will destroy all infection in clothing, rooms, etc., washed 
with their solution. Thus, contagion from Small Fox, 
Typhus Fever, Cholera, and other diseases, may be effectu¬ 
ally prevented. They are used in the New York and other 
Hospitals for these purposes. 
3d. Insect Destroyers.— An animal washed with 
Cresylic Soap will be entirely freed from all vermin. It 
will destroy ticks on sheep, fleas on dogs, lice en cattle or 
poultry, roaches, ants, bedbugs, etc., in rooms. It repels 
flies from animals, and thus is especially useful in case of 
wounds or sores from any cause. 
Sofarastried.it has been efficacious in repelling insects 
from plants. We desire to have it more thoroughly tested 
for this purpose, and reports to be made. We believe it will 
free plants from Aphides, hark lice, slugs, bugs, caterpillars 
striped hugs, curculio, and the whole host of minute but 
powerful enemies in the garden and fruit yard. 
3d. Preventive of Fungus Growth.— On this 
point wc ask for further experiment. We feel confident this 
soap, properly applied, will prevent smut in wheat, mildew 
on vines, and similar parasitic growth, and trust that exper¬ 
imenters will furnish the result of their trials. 
4tli. Cleaning Sores, etc.— For washing ulcers and 
other foul sores, and preventing gangrene in wounds, etc., 
Cresylic Soap is, we believe, unequaled. We know also that 
it lias been successful wherever used, for foot rot in sheeps 
and mange, itch, ring-worm, and other skill diseases. 
Desiring that our readers should be benefited by the ex¬ 
tended introduction of what we believe to be so valuable, we 
have established a general agency for the sale of tiiese 
compounds, at our branch office. No. 4i Park Row, and are 
prepared to fill orders at wholesale or retail, at the follow¬ 
ing prices.
