GTOCK FEEDERS, LOOK TO
- YOUR INTEREST

! am now manufacturing a Feed Cutter for
fodder, hay or straw, that is superior to any
other cutter ever invented. 1t cuts faster and
crushes the fodder, putting the stalk into such
a condition that cattle viii eat all up. The
fodder after being cut passes through crusher,
thus making the hard corn stalk as soft as the
blade; while all other cutters leave the stalk
in short hard pieces, and the chewing Of such
hard pieces byyour stock produces sore mouths
which, instead of benefit to your stock, is
an injury. | claim this machine to be superior
to all others. To satisfy yourselves, feeders
of stock and farmers generally, are respectful
ly invited to calland see this Cutter d Crusher.
to be found at the foundry, near depot West

some remarkable stalks of wheat They were
FIVE feet in length, and the heads numbered

Mutual PROTEcTIox SOCIETIEs.-In some
parts of Maryland, in Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, and many of the Western
States, societies are formed among the farm
ers for mutual protection against robbers,
horse thieves, swindlers, and others, who
live by taking advantage of the unwary. Such
societies ought to exist everywhere, and their
objects might be so enlarged rs to serve as a
mutual protection against tramps, barn burn
ers, and venders of all kinds Of swindling
wares. In case of trouble from tramps or
robbers, neighborhood signals might be es.
tablished by the ringing Of bells or the blow
ing of horns, so as to give alarm in case OF
attack OF robbery in the night, or in case oi
fire, or other calamity. When horses are
stolen, there is a great advantage in immedi-
ate pursuit. A number of neighbors, so as
sOciated and organized, can turn out en- BsGSse,
and, by taking different roads, they can get
upon the track of the thief Immediately, no
matter how many roads or ways of escape
there may be, and overtake him before he
gets off with his booty. This is an important
thing for farmers. In places where these So
cieties exist, it is rare thing for a horse
thief TO escape, and the farmer feels sense
of comparative security, knowing that if he
needs it he can have the instant assistance o.
his neighbors at all times.
