REED BROTHERS’ EZY CABBAGE SHEARS 
Cut and save your cabbage plants for stock. They are fully as valua¬ 
ble as corn silage which has around 1|% of Protein. One acre of good 
cabbage w ill furnish 10 to 12 tons of feed after the heads have been re¬ 
moved, and if properly cared for will help pay the cost of growing the 
crop. One ton of plant leaves are worth tw r o tons of heads for feed. Cab¬ 
bage fed immediately after milking will not taint milk. 
Why turn your cows on the leaves and waste a good share of this 
valuable feed? Cut your plants before severe freezing weather with our 
EZY CABBAGE SHEARS and put them into piles about the size of a 
big haycock, in which shape they will keep for many weeks. 
One man will easily cut from one to two acres a day. No stooping 
over. 
Plants cut with our shears are kept whole, which is more desirable, 
as they handle much faster and keep longer. 
These shears for cutting the plants are as far ahead of other methods 
as the auto is ahead of the horse for speed. They are the only tool on the 
market for the purpose, so far as we know\ We have used them for years 
and recommend them very highly. They are also valuable for cutting 
tobacco and trimming out old raspberry canes. 
Price $2.75; postage, 10c extra.

REED BROTHERS’ IMPROVED 
■ TOOL STEEL CABBAGE KNIFE 
This knife is the speediest, most practical 
tool for cutting heads out of cabbage 
plants. 
Made of the Best Tool Steel —No sore 
blistered hands, no cut fingers, no chopping 
and spoiling of the cabbage heads and no after 
trimming. EACH HEAD IS CUT READY 
FOR MARKET OR STORAGE AT ONE 
STROKE OF THE KNIFE. 
Simply insert the knife between the head 
and the leaves at the proper point and give a 
little push and the head rolls out all trimmed. 
The handle extends crosswise of the hand 
and affords ample grip. Cutting in no wise 
wrenches the hand or makes any spot sore. 
This knife saves hours of valuable time in 
trimming. 
Many a man. has lost fingers or thumbs by 
using a butcher-knife or hatchet. Safe for any 
boy or child to use. Very easy to keep sharp. 
All surplus leaves are left on the plant, 
which is very desirable where the plants are 
to be cut later for feed.. 
This knife will save its cost many times 
over in cutting a single acre, as the removal 
of only one or two leaves on a cabbage head 
by using some poorly devised tool means 
the loss of a good many hundred pounds per 
acre. We are sure they will please the most 
critical. This is the best tool we have ever found for cutting cabbage. 
Price—$1.00 postpaid. If you are not perfectly satisfied send it back and get your dollar.
