Piuif. Brewer says that there are probably 
800 or 1,000 exhibitions devoted entirely or in 
part, to the. interests of agriculture, held in the 
United States every year, and probably five 
or more millions of people see something of 
them. It would 1 k) paw ing str uigo if in all 
these, voluntary gatherings, ns they are, and 
pertaining to such a variety of interests 
and multitude of details, something did not 
sometimes creep in that had better be left out; 
but how very little there is of this compared 
with all that is meritorious ! Talten all i:i all, 
their work and their record have been glo¬ 
rious, and they will continuo to be a promi¬ 
nent feature in our progressing civilization.

Peter It. Mead, the veteran horticultural 
editor and writer, says “ The Rural New- 
Yorker is not afraid to tell the truth in the 
true interests of Agriculture and Horticul¬ 
ture.

for Circulars to 
E. W. ROSS & CO., Fulton, N.Y, 
After much experience in manufacturing large 
cutters, we have found that this principle is the 
best for cutting large quantities of green crops, 
especially for Ensilage, for which businessordinary 
feed cutters ate too weak, too slow, dangerous to 
use, dog and unreliable. This machine'puls the 
crop in the very best shape for this purpose,cuts at 
any speed without clogging, and without winding 
on the rollers. Green Maize, ("lovct even when wet, 
Cow Pea, Millet,etc., without mashing the green 
stalks. This cutler is also excellent for cutting 
Hay, Straw, or Dried Corn-Stalks. 
The system of ensilage which we have had the 
honor of introducing to the farmers of the United 
States, and which must prevaij in all^ections ofthc 
country, requires such a machine as this to make it 
profitable and safe, in order that the silo may be 
filled us fast as two feet pci day at least, to prevent 
heating. 
Tm< Cycle Cotters cut with less power for the 
result than any other form of machine. They have 
three kruves, with loug drawing cut, so leading 
each othci that the cut is continuous, smooth and 
without jar. The length of cut is easily changed 
to be cither % or inch. With these machines a 
fine cut inch) can be had as cheaply as 2 inch 
with cutlers made on any oilier principle, The 
knives are adjustable by the simplest set*screws
