. Annual catalogue of the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, connected with the New England Farmer Office, No. 51 & 52 North Market Street, Boston. 44 J. Breck §? Co.'s Catalogue of WILLIS'S IMPROVED PATENT VERTICAL HAY AND STRAW This Straw and Hay Cutter which lias been in use for several years, is found from experience to be the best Machine for the pur- pose that has been invented. They are made of the best materials and workmanship: constructed on the best mechanical principles. The knives being placed in such a manner, as to operate as a drawing stroke ; cuts very five and easy, and not liable to get out of order; will readily cut thirty bushels per hour: it is fed and' worked by one man, which is not the case with many other ma- chines. The Straw Cutter is a machine well worth the attention of every farmer, and should be in common use with every person feeding stock, and from the great improvement and simplicity of the ma- chines now in use, the work is done with great ease and facility. It is a subject of great regret to every friend of the agricultural in- terest, that these machines are not in more general use. Every farmer who is disposed to use his fodder to the best possible advan- tage, and preserve his animals in the best health, in all cases cuts their fodder. For farther explanation of the profits and advantages arising from cutting fodder, the following statement is given :— Mr Benjamin Hale's account of the savings made by the use of Straw Cutters, employed to cut Hay and Strata as Fodder for Horses. Mr Hale is proprietor of a line of stages running between New- buryport and Boston. He says— The whole amount of hay purchased from April 1, to Oct. 1, 1816, (six months,) and used at the Tons. cwt. qrs. lbs. stage stable, was - - - - - - 32 4010 At $25 per ton (the lowest price at which hay was purchased in 1816) 8800 00.
