The manufactory of the Walter A. Wood Mower and Reaper Company at Hoosick Falls, N. Y., is the largest single reaper factory in the world. 40 tons of cast-iron are melted daily and cast into parts of machines. 25,000 machines were manufactured and sold in 1878. Among the various modifications are the improved iron mower for two horses, the mower for one horse, 2 sizes of the sweep-rake reaper, and the self-binding harvester. Oliver Dalrymple of Minnesota, will 106 of these machines on his farm this year.
It will be observed that these Feed Cutters have three and four spiral knives equi-distant from each other and from the center, which preserves the knife-shaft always in perfect balance, and prevents that jarring which is seen in other cutters. These cutters have taken over 340 premiums and medals, always cutting more and with greater ease than other machines. All these machines are for sale by Joseph Van Cleft No. 102 Water st.
