 is calculated for cutting up vegetables and esculent roots for 

 fodder, and is one of the most useful and economical ma- 

 chines that the farmer can use. The subscribers feel great 

 confidence in recommending this machine to the public ; 

 they are aware that it has been long wanted and they now 

 offer a machine that cannot fail to give satisfaction upon a 

 fair trial. It will cut with ease from one to two bushels per 

 minute, in the best possible manner, and is not liable to get 

 out of order, being made in the most substanlial manner. 

 No farmer should be without one of them. For sale at the 

 Agricultural Warehouse, SI and 52 North Market Street.

GUEEIf'S PATENT STRAW CUTTER. 



JOSEPH BRECK & CO at the New England Agricul- 

 tural Warehouse and Seed Store, Nos 51 and 52 North Mar- 

 ket Street, baire for sale. Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 Stalk Cutter, operating on a mechanipal principle not belore 

 applied to anv implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects 61 this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine- are: 



1 So great a reduction of the quantum oi power requisitte 

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

 10 work it very efficiently. . ., . . i „„i, 



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

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

 by any other machine even wbeu worked by horse or steam 



^T^The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which they 

 cut, require sharpeniug 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 liable as 

 the complicated maduues in general use to get out of order. 



BONE MANURE. 



The subscriber informs his friends and the public, that 

 after ten years experience, he is fully convinced that ground 

 hones form the most powerful stimulant that can be applied 

 no the earth as a manure , r r. j c „

 and solicits the patronage ol the agricultural community. 

 Pr'ce at the Mill 35 cents per bushel ; put up m casks and de-
