, The "Danncvirke Advocate" says 1 that a lpcal rcsidont, Mv Tuv-pin, has - invented an attaohmet to tlio chaff- ' cutting nmobine which is expected to ' revolutionise the business of chaffI cutting. One of tlio difficulties . hitherto has been tho need for re- ' peated stoppages to sharpen the knives. In some cases it has been • necessary to provide a duplicate set of knives at an extra cost of between : .€3O and £40. Mr Turpin's invention is an automatic sharpener, <which puts an edge on the knives as they re- , volvo, and consists of a block of ornery adjusted to the knives by a set of springs by which its pressure against tho blades can be regulated.
