JOSEPH BRycK & CO. 



Joseph Breck & Co., at the New England Agricultural 

 Warehouse and Seed Store, No.^. 51 & .52Norlli Market Street 

 have for sale, Greene's Pjitent Straw, Hay and Stalk Cutler, 

 operating on a mechanical principle, not before applied to 

 any implement for this purpose. The most prominent efi-ecls 

 of t lis 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 boy is sufficient 

 to work it very efficiently. 



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

 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, owino 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 strongly It is therefore not so liab'e as the 

 complicated machines in general use, to set out of order
