Drfcription and Ufe of the new-invented Patent 

 Univerjal Sowing Machine, for Broad^cajiing or 

 Drilling every kind of Grain, Pnlfe, and Seed. 



[By Mr. John Hor.ve^ of Dover.] 



THIS Machine, whether made to be worked 

 by hand, drawn by a horfe, or fixed to a 

 plough, and ufed with it, is extremely fimple in 

 the conftrudlion, and not liable to be put out of 

 order; as there is but one movement to direct the 

 whole, nor does it require any fkill in working. 

 It will fow wheat, barley, oats, rye, clover, cole- 

 feed, hemp, flax^ canary, rape, turnip, befides a 

 great variety of other kinds of grain and feeds, 

 broadcaft, with an accuracy hitherto unknown. 

 It is equally ufeful in the new hulbandry, particu- 

 larly when fixed to a plough ; it will then drill a 

 more cxtenfive variety of grain, pulfe, and feed, 

 (through every gradation, with regard to quantity) 

 and deliver each kind with greater regularity than 

 any drill-plough whatever. When ufed in this 

 manner it will likewife be found of the utmoft fer- 

 vicc to farmers who are partial to the old hulban- 

 dry, as, among many other very valuable and 

 peculiar properties, it will not only fow in the 

 broadcafl way with a moH: fingular exadincfs, but
