.lOSEPH KRECK & CO. al the New England Agricul- 

 tural Warehouse and Seed Store Nos. 51 and ,^12 North Mar- 

 ket Streel, have tor sale, Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 Stalk Clutter, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

 applied to aay implement for ihis purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects of this application, 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 hoy is sutiicient 

 to work it etficieiilly. 



2. Wiih even tins moderate power, it easily cuts two hush- 

 els a niiniile, which is full twice as fast 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 

 together very stronsjiy. It is therefore not so liable as the 

 complicated macliines in general u.se lu get out of order.
