THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
September 24, 1904. 
HUMOROUS 
A farmer had a seeder for the sowing of his 
seed. 
'Twas a seeder made of cedar, and said 1, 
“Pray, is there need 
Of a seeder made of cedar?” Said the farm¬ 
er, "Yes, indeed ! 
I hev never seed a seeder, sir, that I’d con¬ 
cede the speed 
To exceed a cedar seeder for the seedin' of 
the seed.” —Life. 
“Ma, I don’t like our new cook!” ex¬ 
claimed Willie, disappointedly. “What’s 
the matter with her, dear?” “She doesn’t 
fry any holes in the fried cakes!’’—Detroit 
Free Press.

make efficient shredders out of "Ohio” Feed and Ensilage 
Cutters. The New Shredder Bla.de is the regular “Ohio" 
knife with solid integrally projecting bits which cut and 
tear corn stalks into a nicely shredded condition, as shown 
in the picture. It makes corn-hay of the fodder. 
Shredder Bla.des are interchangeable with knives on all 
sizes “Ohio” Cutters. They successfully reduce fodder to 
the proper condition and do not pulverize the leaves like 
other styles. They shred with the same power, speed and 
capacity as “Ohio” Cutters, and either the Chain or Blower 
Elevators handle the shredded corn perfectly. Speed, 600 
to 700 revolutions. Power, 2 Horse Tread up to 12 h. p.
