from this in the method of operating. With the best hay carriers one 

 horse is able to lift about 240 Ibs. of hay at one haul. A ten-horse- 

 power engine will lift a whole load at one haul, if room could be made 

 to receive and handle it conveniently. A single horse will lift over a 

 single pulley about 125 Ibs. at one haul; with two pulleys the power 

 is doubled, or very nearly. 



FODDER CUTTERS. 



Fodder cutters are indispensable for the profitable feeding of stock. 

 By their aid and use coarse fodder may be so prepared and mixed 

 with ground grain, bran or other nne feed, as to make it equally 

 valuable as hay. This is one of the points to which the farmer will 

 give special study, because it is useless to grow good crops unless 

 these are expended in the most economical manner. By the use of a 

 good fodder cutter, and ground feed of various kinds, three cows or 

 horses can be kept where only two were kept on long fodder or hay 

 and whole grain. For hand or light power
