vertical, or other engines, if desired. The novelty of this cutter 
is the overhead sifting arrangement, w^hich dispenses with the 
necessity of an elevator for bagging, the chopped straw, 
&c., being delivered direct into sacks from the sifter, and 
the seeds are delivered into a separate sack by the side of the 
chopped straw, &c., at the end of the cutter, over the driving 
pulley. The caviugs are delivered at the opposite end of the 
cutter, over the knife-wheel, and can be easily delivered direct 
into the feeding-box, and recut or delivered on to the floor. The 
machine is so arranged that an extra fan can be attached for de- 
livering the chopped straw, or cut chaff, into a distant or elevated 
chamber at any angle that may be required, by having an adjust- 
able spout. The overhead sifter seems to be a great improvement, 
and the separation of chaff, cavings, and seeds very complete 
and satisfactory.

feet 5 inches in diameter, of T section wrouglit-iron. 
The roots are thrown in at the upper end, and turn over and 
over as they roll down the cylinder, and thus all dirt and stones 
are knocked off them. By letting the front plate of the cutter 
fall back against the barrel, the machine can be used for cleaning 
the roots if they are not required to be cut. The knives are 
double-edged, and can be reversed in the cutter. They are 
ejisily removed and replaced, and cm readily be adjusted to cut
