TWO GOOD CORN CUTTERS.

ing the cutter before treatment. the
solid lines after treatment. The corner
of the blade should be cut out with a
cold chisel, and care should be taken
when heating the horn not to heat the
blade so as to draw the temper.
Another suggestion although old to
many, it may be new to somc) is that of
cutting corn railroad" fashion or by
going through the first two rows where
the shocks are to stand and trying the
standards, cutting only the two rows in
which they are tied, then taking a sill
gle row on one side and going the whole
length of the row, stopping at each
shock to set up the armful cut between
the shocks, then going back ON the other
side of the row of shocks the same way
and so On till ali the rows are cut. The
last row cut, the shocks are tied. In
cutting this way .he work is all straight
ahead, and corn can be cut faster by
this method than by cutting one shock
at q time
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1895-08-10

the first cut. There is already ma
chine on tine market something like
this. 1t is said to weigh only 800
pounds and will cut and hold corn that
stands up well. Instead of the knife for
cutting, IA sharp revolving disk cutting
against a knife edge will be better.
AS corn is still cut in many sec
tions by hand, the corn cutters illus
tratcd in the second cut may prove sug
gestive Fig. l shows knife which has
the edge half of the blade corrugated,
crimped, by being passed flatwise be-
tween two ridged rollers when the
blade 10 ground to an edge from one
side only. The result Of this is an edge
serrate,l and toothed like q saw, but the
cutting edge of each tooth is smooth
like that of a knife, and the blade can
be sharpened on q grindstone like any
knife. The advantage of this knife is
that it sticks wherever it touches, and
it cuts too. 1t requires only half as
much effort to cut hill of corn with
this cutter as with the smooth cutters.
The foregoing was originally sketched
and described by Ohio Farmer, authori-
ty also for the cutter shown at Fig. 2
and especially adapted to down CT lean
ing corn. 1t is made of an ordinary
heavy back cutter, such as is sold at
hardware stores. The cut will explain
how it is made, the dotted lines show
