Corn-stalk Cut′ter.

A machine for gathering the dry corn-stalks of a previous year's crop into rows, and cutting them into short pieces, so that they may be covered in by the plow.

The hooks, attached to hanging-posts, are in the advance, and are maintained in position by certain devices. Their duty is to straighten out the cornstalks parallel with the line of motion of the machine. The rotating cutter-wheel has its bearings in a vertically adjustable frame.
