A YUCCA CHOPPER
WITH GRAVITY FEED
CAN &c soLD FoR ONLY sIaS
Adjustable Cutters Chop lhn Yucca
Plant 10 ANY Size Desired for
Cattle, sheep Or Goats

Mm. G. BOdeeli, q noted engineer
machinist Of Michigan, decided that
the Sunshine State was proper
place to rear his fine family and
on the way here he observed vast
areas Of yucca plants, which he was
told made ''the hest cattle feed in the
world" when properly cut up. His an
alyhcal mind put two and two to-
qether and he almost exclaimed
aloud 'T'll cut it'
II fortunately happened that Mrs.
Blodgett had formerly spent some
months in Deming, as the guest Of
her sister, Mrs. +. c. Peterson, and
with the memory Of our delightful
climate in mind the family came d.
rectlv here. where Mr.. Blodeett's
ideas we're more than confirmed re-.
garding the value Of yucca plants
for cattle feed and the desirability Of
making a simple, absolutely fool
proof and practically indestrnctible
machine that any ranch employe
could run and that could convert
twenty to thirty tons per day of use
less Yucca plants, into cattle feed,
pronounced by government chemists
more valuable than timothy hay. at
a cost Of less than sl.00 per ton.
The engineer went to F. c. Peter
sons scrap heap and in less than
one weeks time had perfected a ma
chine that, by simple, Adjustable
blades, can cut any size yuccas in
to any size pieces desired, for cattle,
sheep or goats.
Only four castings for the MAJ
chimes are required, 50 thar they can
Be turned ont h large nuantilies on
short notice
The machine has a gravity feed,
o that no power is required to hold
he plant against the cutters, and ev-
erything is so simple and vet so
strongly built that any boy who can
lift up a piece Of yucca can turn
out from thirty TO forty tons per
day Of perfectly chopped feed.
The whole machine and engine
mounted on channel steel frame, can
be transported on any light wagon
and will be shipped fully assembled
and ready to run. The machine, with
frame weighs a little over $50 pounds
and any engine can be mounted on
the frame.
Cowmen pronounce it perfection
tself.
+. c. Peterson & Co., the wei
Known carriage manufacturers an'
blacksmiths of Deming, have started
Q make the machine, which Mr.
BIodgett has appropriately nameC
he Ideal" as it is very simple, very
Bold. perfect in action and can b.
old for only $l45, exclusive Of thI
engine.
The machine is so mechanicall'
constructed that by adding section
nd power, an unlimited output ca'
e provided for.
The demonstration machine Is be
b. run with horse electric mo
Dr and three-inch belt.
