cattle and sheep, Is operated by hand with perfect
and will cut potatoes, turnps, &c. with great
rapidly. This machine was exhibited at the Fair
of the American Institute, in N. Y. City, in Oct.
1896, and received a Silver Medal, as u premium,
1t has been used and approved by many of the far
mers of New England and New York, which gives
the subscribers great confidence in recommending
it to every farmer.
All orders addressed to them at st. Johnsbury,

need be said, but those who have not, we will add
other testimony.
CROssMAN 81 HALLETT.
st. Johnsbury, Vt..Oct IL, 1888.
The following statement is from a gentleman
who has one of these machines in operation for
some time, and recommends them highly:
IL have had one of "Melsh's Potatoe Cutters
in use, and consider it Of the most useful ma
chimes invented, and think no farmer, who
values the lives of his cattle, his own interest,
should be without They will cut more pota-
toes in thin slices in one hour, than man could
cut with a knife in two days find that potatoes
cut in this machine will boil soft in about half the
time Of whole ones, thereby making great saving
of fuel and labor. The machine cuts potatoes,
turnips, cabbage stumps, (squashes and pumpkins
when cut into quarters with spade) with the same
facility and ease that it does potatoes
This certifes that we have used Mellishs Veg
etable Cutter for two yaars, and can recommend it
to the public as a very useful machine, superior to
any thing of the kind within our knowledge:

The extensive and growing interest of
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm

trine Of no party.
Feeli ng the necessity of such paper,
the jeff erson College and Washington Ly-

of Nate b ez, and contains sixteen small
quarto gees, similar in form to the "Pen
ny Ma, g,lzine," and is protected by good
envelop e, so that it may be conveyed TO
any dist a nee without injury.
1t will | be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this
and every one who feels pride in any en-.
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and mo r;ll character Ofour country, should
come onward and assist in this worthy
enterpI i,e.
