CUTTING FEED.--True, horses and cattle
are provided by nature with cutting-ma-
chimes; but from this fact we must not jump
to the conclusion that cutting-boxes are I'M
necessary or Improbable. Man, also, is
provided with teeth but must we argue
from this that knives and forks are useless 2
We would not be understood to say that
there is the same necessity in the one case
as in the other, but we do say that we never
knew farmer cut feed for his stock who
was not satisfied with the result. It pre-
vents waste by causing everything to be
eaten up clean. 1t allows the farmer to
flavor the c0arsest fodder with little shorts,
or meal and salt, and in this way, at very
little cost and labor, make luxury Of that
which, in its natural state, the animal could
hardly be coaxed or starved to eat just as
the skillful cook will make delicious dish
of cold meat, etc., left on the previous day,
and which, but for this skill, would be
wasted. Try it yourself. and then you will
be able to give your testimony for or against
the practice of cutting feed or rodder. If
