For the past month q couple of roCues have
been doing thriving business in Wayned, Ma
comb, Livingston, Washtcnaw, and doubtless
several other counties, by securing farmers notes
in exchange for a new hand cider mill. The meth
cd Of working is 70 visit the farmer, beg leave to
explain the workings and merits Of the machine,
generally crushing few apples with it aud then
to offer him great chance to secure it trial.
They have notes reading that each farmer can
take the cider mill trial for two months and if
at the end of that time he is not perfectly satisfied
with its working, the agent is to take the ma
chine off his hands without cost. These notes
are all drawn up very smooth, bnt that part Of
the reading at the right end which refers to al
lowing the two months of can be cut of, and a
note Of hand is left which reads that the farmer
is to pay the sum Of SO for the mill at the end of
two months. The paper reads so smoothly that
not one will see the catch. The farmer sees
mill work, thinks the terms fair and honest, and
everyone wanting anything of the kind is pretty
sure to sign Whist he supposcs to Ike simple
agreement. Having occurred his signature, the
paper is cut of, snd the note of hand is then dis
counted to whoeyef. will purchase it. Some of
these notes have brrH purchased by parties in De-
troit, Pontiac ais9 80 Arbot, and the s;.arpcrs
undoubtedly get ttia6f I'll they can secure. If q
farmer wants gn6d cider mill, perhaps the price
is not unreasonable, but this one turns out to be
worth no more than 90 much kindling wood. An
hours work destroys IL beyond repair. Or. If the
mill hOlts out, the farmer finds that good coffee
