ly, as noi a week since we saw a lot of butter, made by 

 one of tlie best diiiry women in the Slalo, rejected, and 

 with good reason, because it was colored with annatto. 

 If not actually injurious to health, the mixture is at least 

 offensive to the imagination. 



The Commissioner of Agricultural Survey has at his 

 office a model of a machine, resembling a baker's knead- 

 ing machine, for the purpose of expressing the butter- 

 milk without applying the hand, which we think will 

 commend itself strongly to the farmers attention, and 

 which he will be happy to show them. H. C.

 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 gel

GREEK'S PATENT STRAW CUTTER. 



-JOSEPH BRECK & CO. at the New England Agricul- 

 tural Warehouse and Seed Store, Nos.51 and 62 North Mar- 

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

 Stalk Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

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

 inent eflects of this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are: 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum of power requisifl; 

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

 to work it very efficienfly. 



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

 els a minute, which is full twice as fa.st as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



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

 cut, require sharpening 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 machines in general use to get out of order.
