AN ALFALFA CUTTER.
Eastern Capitalists Trying to Get .

An eastern capitalist is trying to
make arrangements to establish an
alfalfa cutter plant in this city. There
are but " or three Of these plants
In the country and a good many tons
Of CHOPPED alfalfa hay are used IN the
city each year and this has to be
shipped from New York.
The plant chops the alfalfa hay
into pieces about half an inch long
and this Is mixed with corn chops,
bran and other ground cereals and
fed to horses. cattle and chickens. 1t
Il far too expensive at present IN
this city to feed in any large quanti-
ties. The retail price at present IL
i've cents per pound or one hun
dred dollars per ton for the hay. Large
quantities are handled here and 10
the surrounding towns the cut Alfalfa

proposition and expects to land the

employ some eight or ten men. usinl
thirty tons Of hay a@day. The es
t~ablishment OF such q concern IN
this city would make another market
for the great quantities Of alfalfs
raised near this city.
In some Of the cattle feeding sec
tions, especially in the east, the farm
ers have cutting machines Of theil

said to be a most nutritious food fo'

There are but few Of the lArg,
plants IN operation and the alfalfi
