OP AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, ETC. 45 run on the wood of the frame, besides it is much more economical, one man being always able to sharpen any farm tool alone. A good assortment of cranks, shafts, rollers and sett plates constantly on hand; also a choice lot of the most approved stones, for farming purposes, at prices varying according to size and quality. HOVEY'S PATENT SPIRAL STRAW These machines excel all others for cutting hay, straw, or corn-stalks. They have great advantage over all other Cylinder Cutters, in the ease and facility with which the knives can be adjusted. Any one knife may be taken off and ground without removing the whole number; and should any one knife become narrow by grinding, the edge can be set out by set screws, so as to come in equal contact with the hide roller, without the necessity of grinding all the other knives down to the same width. The wings to which the knives are fastened are of vast importance, as they serve to strengthen and support the knives, and prevent them from bending while cutting corn-stalks or other coarse fodder. They are made of different sizes, with 6, 8, 10, and 12 knives. Price from S7 to S30. There is a great saving in the cutting of corn-stalks, hay, and straw, in two ways. The animals do not waste it by drawing it out of the mangers, and trampling it under their feet, and time and labor are saved them in masticating. They obtain their supply of food readily, and then lie down to digest it, and rest. Fermentation also developes the nutritive matter, and requires less work for the stomach, and this, by saving muscular exertion, leaves more strength with the animal to be expended on ordinary work. The same principle holds with milch cows, sheep, &c. If the food be given to them in a form more readily adapted to assimilation in the animal system, the greater the product of milk, wool, flesh, &c,
