Instructions for setting the Machine. 



When you want to sow mixed seeds, such as rye grass 

 (sometimes called bents trefoil, broad clover, Lutch clo- 

 ver, lop, or any other mixture of grass seeds, let them be 

 well mixed before they go to fit Id. Turn the large hole 

 opposite the rush : the hole at full size will sow twelve 

 or fourteen gallons on an acre, half the hole will sow about 

 seven gallons. Three handles are sent with three iron 

 pins in them ; and if you intend sowing two gallons on 

 an acre, put in the smallest, and bring the largest part of 

 the hole to the size o the pin. If you sow three gallons, 

 take the next size ; if four gallons, take No. 4 li you 

 measure the seed into the box, you will find by the acre, 

 whether it sows too much or too little, as there is a wide 

 difference in grass seeds. Should it sow more than you 

 wish, set the hole a trifle less ; if not enough, set it a little 

 larger. In sowing turnips, one small hole at each brush 

 will sow about two pounds on an acre ; two holes six 

 pounds : but of S weed's turnip not quite so much, the 

 seed being larger. If you intend sowing one pound of tur- 

 nip seed per acre, put one hole to every other brush, and a 

 blank to the others ; and if the seed be good, and the sea- 

 son kind, it will produce a good crop, and come in lanes, 

 if you harrow the same way the seed is sown ; which will 

 need less labour to hoe them. In sowing broad clover, 

 five holes will sow about eight pound on an acre ; of 

 Dutch clover it will sow about eleven pounds per acre, 

 and so in proportion of any other seed of the same size.
