 tural Warenouse and seed store, Nos.51 aud .52 Norlh Mar- 

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

 Slalk Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle not b'eiore 

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

 incut effects of this application, and some o( the constquent 

 peculiarities of the machine are: 



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

 10 use it, ihat the strength of a half grown boy is sufficient 

 to work it very efficiently. 



2. With even tliis 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 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.
