VICE or Thlstle cutter.

Scotch farmers are using q new Inn
plement called thistle cutter for ex-
terminating tall weeds from their
fields and mowlngs. Possibly a ma
chine of this kind could probably be
adapted to similar purposes on Amer
leans farms. 1t would not be suitable
for bush cutting, but would check
weeds and other plants With soft
stems, suggests American Cultlyator.
These cutters are not intended 70
shave the ground, but to cut about
three or four inches from the ground.
The machine is described as follows:
1t consists OF a frame and shafts, car
ried on two road wheels, which, with
spur wheels and pinions, drive reel
of large diameter on which are four
knives, and these knives cut all the
thlstles and stlff stalked weeds, while
the grass, being tender In the stalk,
yields before the forward motion Of
the knives and Is uninjured. There Is
a lever attached to the frame for rails
ing or lowering the knives, so that the
driver has complete control of the
height Of cut, and one handle lowers
or raises machine and throws It out
Of gear ut one operation. The cutters
have q spur wheel and plnlon drive on
each end Of the reel, so that the ma
chino is very easily drawn. The width
Of cut is six feet and width Of machine
over all about nine feet, and with n
fast stepping horse large acreage IS
rapidly got over. no matter whether
the crop be thick or thin.

that the officers have applied themselves.
