■WILLIS'S LATEST IMPROVED VEGETABLE 

 CUTTER. 



For sale at the New England Agricultural Warehouse, 

 No. 51 ami 62 North .Market Street, Boston, Willis's Latest 

 Improved Vegetable Cutter. This machine surpasses all 

 others lor the purpose of cutting Ruta Baga, Mangel Wurt- 

 zei, and other roots. The great objection toother machines, 

 is their cutting the roots into slices, which makes it almost 

 impossible for the cattle to get hold of them ; this machine 

 with a little alteration, cuts them into large or small pieces, 

 of such shape as is most convenient for the cattle to eat. It 

 will cut witn ease from one to two bushels of roots per min- 

 ute. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
