An encyclopædia of agriculture [electronic An encyclopædia of agriculture [electronic resource] : comprising the theory and practice of the valuation, transfer, laying out, improvement, and management of landed property, and the cultivation and economy of the animal and vegetable productions of agriculture, including all the latest improvements, a general history of agriculture in all countries, and a statistical view of its present state, with suggestions for its future progress in the British Isles encyclopdiaofa02loud Year: 1831 les 5508. Newton's machine for chopping cabbage or other vegetables, roots, or meat (,Jig. 76S ), consists of five knives let into an iron plate, and the latter is screwed to the working bar. The knives are fastened, by bolts i)assing through them, close under and above the iron plate. The sliding plate is for the purpose of preventing the meat from being scattered; and to this platejire added scrapers, which are screwed underneath, for the purpose of cleaning the knives at every stroke. A spring raises the knives, and enables any person to chop at least twenty times as much meat, in the same time, a-; can be done by the common mode. The length of the knives being equal to the breadth of the trough, no meat can possibly escape the knives ; nor will the meat require so much turning as is usually wanted. When it does require turning, it is easily done by alter- nately pressing the knives at either end of the trough, sliding them towards the middle. The machine is also applicable for cutting fat, suet, &c. previously to rendering them into tallow ; likewise to chopping madder and other roots for calico printers, or as used in their recent state for dyers ; and for dividing potatoes, carrots, and other esculent roots, cabbage for sauer kraut, and roots used in feeding cattle. {Smith's Mechanic, vol. ii. p.
