GALE’S FEED CUTTERS." 
For Hay, Straw, or Stalks. 
Not to l»e jtnid lor until tried. 
12 sizes, $8 to $22. Easy to cut by hand from 30 to 130 bush¬ 
els an hour. Will cut by horse power for 5 to 10 horses in one 
minute. 
From Editor of American Agriculturist, Feb., 1870: “The 
Copper Strip Feed Cutter is decidedly the best for hand- 
power. Stables in New York cut all the feed (by hand; for 
100 horses in an hour.” 
From J. B. Baker, Thornsdale, Pa.: “ Can do more work 
with your No. 5 Cutter ($22) with one horse, than I can with 
4 horses on a Burdick National Telegraph, that cost me $100. 
Light work with yours to cut for 100 head.” 
From Henry Ward Beecher : “ My men praise the Cop¬ 
per Strip Cutter we have used two years, and prefer it to ail 
others.” 
From TnosiAS Finch, Esq., Newburgh, O.: “ With your 
No. A Cutter ($14) I cut all the hay for 50 horses and cattle 
for a day in three-quarters of an hour, easily.'' 
Horace Greeley says: “I have used the Copper Strip 
Feed Cutter two winters. It suits me admirably.” 
Joseph Harris, in American Agriculturist, June, 1870, 
says: “ Gale’s Copper Strip Machine will cut in two or three 
minutes all the hay a team will eat at a meal. It is mere 
child's play to turn it."
