The machine illustrated on opposite page is representa- 

 tive of the * Ohio" Monarch Self-feed Blower Ensilage 

 Cutter. As previously stated, these machines are made in 

 five sizes, Nos. 12, 14, 17, 19 and 22; the blower is a part 

 of the machine. 



The construction throughout is heavy and powerful. 

 The frame is strong and rigidly put together; the steel 

 knife shaft is heavy, running clear through the machine 

 and carrying the drive pulley, knife heads and fly wheel. 

 Four steel paddles are fastened to this fly wheel, in such 

 a way that it is absolutely impossible for them to become 

 loosened in any way. A heavy, well-riveted sheet steel 

 fan case acts as a covering for the whole. 



The characteristic feature of the "Ohio" Monarch 

 Blower is its immense capacity, using so little power. The 

 power is applied primarily to the main shaft, and all the 

 heavy work cutting and elevating is done direct from 

 this shaft, so that not an ounce of power is wasted through 

 short belts, transmission gears, etc. Moreover, the liabil- 

 ity of breakage and wear is reduced to a minimum. 



The pipe is 10 inches in diameter, in convenient 

 lengths, and made of galvanized steel. A swivel joint con- 

 nection of the fan case allows it to turn in any direction. 



The new patented "Ohio" silage distributor (see page 

 237) is included with each machine.
