This Machine consists of a simple frame and box mounted on wheels, in
front of which is a cylinder, set with spiral knives, acting in concert
with curved spring teeth, in combination with a straight knife, which
forms a perfect shear, and severs the head from the stalk; the heads are
at the same time discharged into the box. The teeth being made to spring
and vibrate, not a particle of clover, however stalky or thick, can
possibly escape being cut, or allow the teeth to become clogged. The
Cylinder and Knives are protected by an adjustible guard plate, thus
allowing only the heads to pass to the Knives, retaining the head, and
the head only--thus leaving the stalk to enrich the soil. The machine is
so constructed that it can be made adjustible to the height of the
Clover and Timothy.

To be seen at the Crystal Palace. Price of the machines moderate.

The Farmer will find that by this process, he may save two crops
of Timothy per year. When the seed is ripe the tops can be
clipped, and the straw left until fall to mature. You now have
your seed and hay in two crops of equal value; in case of
clover, you mow the first crop for hay, the second for seed; you
in both cases get better seed and hay with less labor and
expense than grain crops, at the same time leaving the soil
clothed with a coat of straw, for the coming season, which will
increase the value of the soil for crops, make fine pastures and
fine stock, while it fits the land for fine grain. In this way
lands in our states have b
