THE subject of cutting fodder comes up very frequently in our correspondence. Since 

 issuing our last Catalogue we find the people have become more and more enlight- 

 ened on the subject. There is no question but that a farmer should either cut or shred his 

 fodder to get the best results. We have no hesitancy in making the statement that the 

 cutting of fodder or the shredding of it, will save at least one-third, and that there will be 

 better results both in milk and flesh if fodder is used in this way. We have a good many 

 customers now who have taken up the cutting and shredding of fodder for the first time 

 within the last two. years, and are now buying cattle to winter and fatten in addition to the 

 number of head they have usually kept, and are carrying them through with the same 

 amount of rough fodder that they used before putting it in proper condition. We believe 

 that the time is coming — and not far distant — when every dairyman or farmer keeping any 

 amount of stock will be obliged to use some machine of this kind. We do not for a 

 moment presume any intelligent farmer doubts the value of reducing the feed in the man- 

 ner described ; if there are such, they can easily ascertain the facts by corresponding with 

 anyone who has used it. 



We shall be glad to furnish information, to anyone wishing it, on the subject of shred- 

 ding fodder, and solicit correspondence from farmers and dairymen who have used a Feed 

 Cutter and who have any doubts about its benefits, so that we may be able to give them 

 such information as we have at hand or such as they may need. 



We describe on the next page such machines as are considered best for general use. 



Thi? cut shows the Ross Shredder Head, which can be attached to any of the Ross 



machines, as per prices and sizes found 

 on Page 93- The prices on these Heads 

 do not include balance wheel and pulley, 

 as the same balance wheel and pulley 

 that are used on Cutter work satisfac- 

 torily when Shredder Head is used. We 

 catalogued this Shredder last year for 

 the first time, since when the trade has 

 constantly grown, and we have not sold 

 a single machine which has failed to please the buyer in every respect. 



The annexed cut shows the Ohio Shred- 

 der Cylinder. Prices include extra bal- 

 ance wheel and pulley. Speed 1000 to 1200 

 revolutions per minute. We cannot guar- 

 antee satisfactory results unless the machine 

 is speeded close to 1000 revolutions. The 

 Bucket Carrier will keep the shredded fod- 

 der away from the front of the machine and will elevate it perfectly. Sizes and prices of 

 the above will be found on Page 92.
