THE EUREKA FEED CUTTER, 



Containing New and Important Principles. 



'T'HE value of corn fodder, when cut, as a food for stock has 

 1 been fully discussed, and nearly every intelligent farmer be- 

 lieves that the value of corn fodder when thoroughly crushed 

 and cu' is doubled. The Fodder Cutters heretofore offered, of 

 the general capacity and price of this, have failed lo meet the 

 wants and expectations of farmers. It is claimed for the EURE- 

 KA CUTTER that it fully meets Ihe demand. 



It is made of good materials, in the best manner, by experi- 

 enced mechanics, and in appeal ance and finish is not surpassed 

 by any agricultural implement in use. It is provided wilb. ad- 

 justable India Rubber Springs, which are not liable to break 

 and are not affected by ihe weather. These springs can be ad- 

 justed to produce any required amount of pressure, and they give 

 a greater amount of pressure in proportion to the quantity of 

 feed acted on at a time. They act directly on east-iron feeding 

 rollers (one ribbed and one smooth), between which the substance 

 to be cut is made to pass, and before reaching the knives, is com- 

 p/eUli/ masned, lessening the resistance to the knives, and accom- 

 plishing the results of CRUSHING and CUTTING without a per- 

 ceptible increase of power. 



This Cutter has Four Double-Edged knives on a cylinder. 

 They are reversible, thereby making them equal to two sets. 

 They are bevelled and ground on the inside, and the outside is 

 cylindrical, and in revolving their edges and outer surface 

 run close and trite to the cutter bar, or bar that holds the 

 feed up to the knives, and as a consequence, in case of irregular 

 or bad grinding, the edge is not removed from the cutter-bar. In 

 all other cutters which have knivi s on a cylinder, the knife is 

 ground on the outside, which removes the edge from the cutter- 

 bar, and in case of imperfect grinding they can not be made to 

 fit. The knives in this cuiter can be ground and replaced by any 

 one who can grind a hatchet 



The Eureka Cutter is built in three sizes, viz. : No. 3 at $45 — a full 

 horse power cutter and may be used by hand ; will cut corn fodder 

 by power as fast as three m n can tend it. No. 2 at $30 — for hand 

 or power ; will cut by po« er as last as two men can tend it, and 

 by hand two bushels per minute. No. 1 at $22.50— for hand alone.
