 CUTTER. 



GREEN'S PATENT STRAAV CUTTER. 



JOSEPH BRECK & CO. at IheNew England Agricul- 

 tural Warehouse and Seed Store Nos. 51 and:.2Norih Mar- 

 ket Slreel, have lor sale, Green's Patent Str.iw, Hay and 

 Slalk Culler, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

 applied to any implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects of ihis a|. plication, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are : 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum of power requisite 

 to use it, that the strength of a half grown boy is sufficient 

 to work it efficiently. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easily cuts two bush- 

 els a minute, which is full twice as fasi as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which they 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any other 

 straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made and put 

 logetber very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as the 

 complicated machines in general use to gel out of order.
