Joseph Breck & Co., at the New England Agricultural 

 arehouse and Seed Store, Nos. 51 & 62 North Mar ket Street 

 .ve for sale, Greene's Patent Straw, Hay and Stalk Cutler, 

 eratiug on a mechanical principle, not before applieil to 

 y implement for this purpose. The most prominent effects 

 this application, and some of the consequent peculiarities 

 the machine are: 



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

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

 work it very efficiently. 



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

 a minute, which is full twice as fast as has been claimed 

 any other inaeliine even when worked by horse or steam 

 wer. 



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

 , retpiire sharpening less often than those of any other 

 aw cutter. 



L The machine is simple in its'constructinn, made and put 

 ether very strongly It is therefore not so liable as the 

 nplicated machines in general use, to get out of order.
