316 THE WHEAT CULTURIST. 



by gear wheel of different sizes. Large numbers of this 

 style of drills have been manufactured by the firm al- 

 luded to; and the same drill is made by the follow- 

 ing manufacturers: Brown, Adams & Co., Shortsville, 

 K Y. ; Whiteside, Barnett & Co., Brockport, IS". Y. ; 

 Titus & Bostwick, Ithaca, N. Y. ; and Wiard & Waldo, 

 Oakfield, 1ST. Y. I give the names of these firms for 

 the benefit of farmers who want good drills. 



The Buckeye Grain Drill. 



For the convenience of farmers in different sections 

 of the country, I have concluded to mention the Buck- 

 eye Grain Drill, which 

 is represented by the 

 accompanying illus- 

 tration, Fig. 49. This 

 is a tube drill closely 

 resembling the Brown 

 drill described on pre- 

 vious pages. I can 

 recommend it with 

 all confidence, as 

 large numbers of them have been sold to grain-produc- 

 ing farmers ; and I have never heard an adverse report, 

 that this drill did not sustain its high reputation. This 

 drill is manufactured extensively by manufacturers in 

 Springfield, Ohio, and by B. W. Cowan, Fleming, Ca- 

 yuga County, New York. 



Cross-drilling Seed Wheat. 



Some farmers have been accustomed to drill in their 

 seed wheat as oats and barley are sometimes put in — ■
