THE ROSS ENSILAGE AND FODDER CUTTER. 
Acknowledged to be the Best. Sole New England Agents. 
The subject of cutting fodder has been taken up so many times that there is really not 
much necessity of saying anything about it. There are very few farmers who are alive to 
their best interests who do not realize and know the benefits of cutting their coarse fodder, 
and also hay when it is not plentiful. A good many farmers find that by cutting their 
fodder it lessens the amount of labor in feeding and of getting it out. 
The Ross Cutter is guaran¬ 
teed by the manufacturer to 
do twice as much work in a 
given time as any ensilage 
cutter,having the same length 
of knives, in the United 
States. It is very strong and 
durable, and possesses great 
capacity. The patent safety 
fly-wheel is one of its most 
important points, for it is so 
constructed that an obstruc¬ 
tion will cause it to turn on 
the arbor, and thus prevents 
injury to the machine and 
secures safety to the operator. 
It never fails to give unqual¬ 
ified satisfaction.

THE WHITMAN AGRICULTURAL WORKS 
Factory at Auburn, Me., formerly at Winthrop, Me. 
MANUFACTURERS OF 
HORSE POWERS, THRESHERS, SAWING MACHINES, CIDER MILLS, FEED 
CUTTERS, WHEELBARROWS, BARREL HEADERS, AND 
GENERAL AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY. 
In announcing that we have accepted the selling agency of the above concern, we take much pleasure in 
informing our customers that we have dealt with the Whitmans, father and son, between fifty and sixty years, 
during the last twelve years of which time our dealings have been with Mr. W. E. Whitman, and we cannot call 
to mind an instance where his word has not been as good as his bond. This old and honorable business was 
established in 1834 , at Winthrop, Maine, by Luther Whitman, and was successfully run by him and his sons 
without a break from that date until their disastrous fire in 1887 wiped it out. The citizens of Auburn, Maine, 
believing it for their interest to have the new works located in their town, offered many inducements, and as the 
shipping facilities were better than at Winthrop, the company decided in favor of locating at Auburn, where 
the works are now established. 
In addition to the above, the company is prepared to make contracts for the manufacture of any new or 
novel articles in this line. As their agents we solicit correspondence, will furnish estimates, and are prepared 
to offer exceedingly low prices for large orders or for export.
