attachments, when the grass and clover seed may 

 be sown at the same time the grain is seeded. The 

 grass seeder usually scatters the seed broadcast 

 either before or after the opening of the furrows, as 

 preferred. The writer prefers an attachment by 

 which the grass seed may be run through a tube 

 into the drill furrow, thus alfalfa or grasses may 

 be seeded alone in drill rows and the depth of 

 seeding regulated. 



Modern drills may also be provided with attach- 

 ments for distributing fertilizers at the same time 

 that the grain is sown. There are several differ- 

 ent styles used and most of them do satisfactory 

 work. The writer rather prefers to have a separate 

 machine for distributing fertilizers. A lime 

 spreader will do the work and is needed on many 

 farms on which the soil is becoming "worn" and 



"sour."
