These cut the vegetables into thin slices with great rapidity, and then by cross-knives they are cut into Blips of convenient form and size for cattle or sheep to eat, without danger of choking. The pieces after cutting lie loosely and angling together, and can easily be taken up by the animals. This machine cuts one bushel in two minutes. Price, $12 00. j Cylindrical Vegetable Cutter.—(Fig. 32.) A These machines will cut about 800 bushels of beets, turnips, &c, per day. They can be regulated to cut thick or thin pieces at plea- sure Price, $8 00 to $20 Roots should invariably be cut previous to feeding; there is no dan- cer then of animals getting choked with them. When they are merely sliced the pieces adhere close together, and it is difficult for the animals to get hold of them. It is much better to cut them into angular pieces, which is easily done by figs. 30 and 31. The latter cuts two ways, and is a very superior machine, of a recent construction.
