Furrower for Corn-planter. 



This attachment fitted on to the Farmers' Friend Corn-planter has reduced 

 the co«t of growing maize considerably on this farm. Its introduetion has 

 saved the cost and labour of one man and two horses during eorn-plunting 

 operations. 



The furrower is simply constructed by riveting two liillcrs or mould-boards 

 ofFa Planet Jr. cultivator on t<t a standard (as shown in diagiain). 



Furrower attached to Corn-planter. 



The furrower standard is bolted into the socket of the wheel standard 

 (which is discarded). 



A furrow is thus opened in advance of the seed-drill and can be regulatefl 

 to any depth. Witii it thf drill works steadier than with tlie wheel : the 

 clods are thrown aside and a fine moist seed-bed prepared. 



The scribe or marker is. of eour.se, used in combination to mark out drills.
