THE HERALD.
Cut Feed for Stock.

One of the prime neeesearies of
every farmer engaged in rearing or
feeding stock, is a good cutting box.
Num- bers of them Of every shape aud
variety have been patented and ad-
vertised Of late years--some with
knife, some with two, some with a
dozen-some cutting straight up and
down, some revolving, some very
useful and some very much the re-
verse. We have tried them al more
or less, and after disearding as nui-
sanCes quite a number, have come
TO the conclusion that all other
things being equal, there is one
feature perfectly indispensable to a
real good cutter. 1t must work up
on the one knife principle. Let the
knife be what shape it may, it must
be single it must work up and
down must be easily detached from
the box, and therefore readily shar.
pened at will. One of the reasons
which will account for the small
number Of feed cutters Ia use among
the ordinary small farmer, is the
number Of worthless machines off.
cred at low prices. They are bought
aud discarded as useless, and the
purchaser becomes q convert to the
belief that hay and straw and
corn-fodGer, had better be wasted
under the feet of half starved ami
malE than properly prepared for
them at expense, time, and pains.
II would be invidious to back ones
opinion in an article of this kind
by giving the names Of manufac.
turers (when they are so many),
who put up machine which OK
actly suits our taste, but, in the
interest Of the farmer, we confidently
assert that we have seen cutters so
constructed that no one would find
fault with them in any respect-rnn-
ming so smooth and easily that u
child could work them without los.
ing breath, and turning out an
amount Of nicely cut progender, 10
an hour, sufficient TO feed several
head of stock for many days. The
average Western farmer can scarcely
appreciate the necessity for avoiding
waste. He is distant from market
and very large proportion Of what
he raises, lies on his hands, and
must be fed at home in one way or
another. lie has probably limited
number Of stock and an unlimited
supply OF straw and corn fodder
his only bother is what to do with it
all. In most instances instead of
outstanding his supplies and increas-
ing the number OF his animal; he
throws his abundance TO the few,
permits them to tramplet underfoot,
and brings his stock through the
winter with pot-belies and bare ribs,
and right here is whore the feed
cutter should come TO his relief. Let
him invest lis savings in sheep or
attle-prepare straw sheds for them,
set up his machine, and when the
cold rains and SHOWS Of winter, put
stop TO outdoor OCCUPATIONS, he
eau, at his leisure, pass his coarse
straw and fodder through the cutter
sprinkle 1t with salt, feed bis stock
regularly, and thereby prepare the
way for handsome profit with the

Taylor owes his election 10 the com,
