I have invented the best turnip, 
carrot, and potato cutter in the 
^vorld. because it is easier work- 
ed, more simple and durable, will 
cut twice as fast, and is only 
about one-half the price of uthers. 
1 have also invented the best and 
cheapest hay, straw, and stalk 
cutters, both lever and self-feed- 
iot:, fur hand or horse-power. 
Can sell y^u a pood, strong, dur- 
able cutter for ^If) to $11, that will 
easily cut, by hand-power, 20 to 50 
bushels iit hav, straw, or stalks, 
per hour. Splendid horse-power sizes for fl9 to $26. 
Prom tlic Editor of tlie Am. A:;riculturist, 
February, 1870. ^ 
"We regard the Copper Strip Feed Cutter as decidedly 
the best as a hand Machine, and know of some stables In 
New York whose Power Cutters arc set aside, and two men, 
in an hour's time, daily cut all tlie feed for one hundred 
horses with a large size Copper Strip Cvttek. 
I cut feed for 150 head of stock with a No. 8 Gale Fodder 
Cutter, and can do more work with one small horse and two 
men, than can be done in the same time with four Cutters 
like the National and. Telegraph, witli four horses to drive 
them. I paid Jino for two of these machines, and have 
thrown them aside for a Gale, costing only f;26, which makes 
light work of it compared with the others.

"SV ARREN Gale, Esq.— Dear Sir : I have purchased a (No. 
2) Gale Vegetable Slicer, and tested it on turnips and 
potatocs,thelast of which JH,v sow,. s/a: yeais ohJ,can cut for 
7iine head of cattle, at the rate of one bnshel per minute. 
It is something I have long desired, and gives me perfect 
satisfaction in every respect.

Dear Sir:— The No.3X (price, $19), Gale Junior Fod- 
der Cutter is n ceived and has been tried. It is a superior 
implement and in my opinion is unrivalled for efljciency, 
simplicity, and the great ease with which it is worked. I 
would not exchange it f< <r the $S0 Cutters for sale here.
