GREEN'S PATENT STRAAV CUTTER. 



PRICES OP COUNTRY PRODUCE 



CORRECTED WITH GREAT CARE, WEEKLY. 



T ph BiecK & Co at the New Enghnd Agricullnral 

 Wai louse and Seed Stoie Nos 'jI and o2 North Market 

 Stri t have lor s^le Green's Patent Striw Hjn tnd Stalk 

 C^utiLi operalmg on a mechanical principle not before ap- 

 plied to any implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects of this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are: 



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

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

 to work it very efficiently. 



2. With even this moderate pow?r. it easily cuts two bush- 

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

 by any other machine even when w^orked by horse or steam 

 power 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which 

 they cut, require sharpening less often than these of any 

 other straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made and 

 put together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as 

 the complicated machines in general use, to get out of order.
