 «f' i/'^i^i"'''' '"*™ '"'' '*^''^' Ci''<=en's Patent Straw, Hav and 

 J'la k- Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

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

 inent etiects of this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are; 



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

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

 to work It very efficiently. 



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

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

 tiy 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 olten than those of any other 

 straw cutter. ' 



4. The machine is simple in its construol ion, made and 

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

 me complicated machines in general use to get out of order 



V EGETABLE CtJTTKR.
