This is the only Root-cutter we 
tried, which did a large quan- 
tity of work in a little time. It 
is a very cheap machine.

Oilcake-breakers, Eoot-pulpers, Turnip and Root Cutters and Sliceus, 
Chaff-cutters, Grinding-mills with Steel Grinders, Grinping-mills

conducted for each class of machines. We may observe, however, that in all

of work done, and the power consumed, were duly registered, with the follow-
