Important to Farmers. 



IT IS generally conceded by all intelligent farmers that 

 cutting the food for cattle will save from 25 to 30 per cent. 

 Bertholfs Oblique Rotary Com Stalk, Hay and Straw Cut- 

 ter, is conceded by all that have used it to be /ar superior to 

 any other, as it destroys all hard substances in the stalk 

 leaving it soft and easily eaten. It turns very easy and is 

 not liable to get out of order, and, with care, will last an 

 age. It has been awarded Four First Premiums and a 

 Silver Medal, by the American Institute. For further par-
