The Open Hopper Bone Cutter.

The Open Hopper Bone Cutter.
The staple article of feed for laying
hens is green bone. OF other foods
there is great variety in use. Some
feed the products of the farm in their
unprepared state only. Some rely large
ly on specially prepared or patent poul-
try foods. But everybody wants to use
green bone 1t is beyond question that
bone contains in the right proportion
more of the eggmaking materials than
any other single substance that can be
fed. And in the winter time, and al
ways when hens are confined, these ma
terials must be supplied, or 1T Will

This puts to an excellent use the

No partitions in it; no springs, split

Most bone cutters are hard turning, as
many users will testify. The Humphrey

the easiest running cutter made; it is
