 make four separations at one operation. rThe shoe is supplied with screens in the 

 bottom that have an independent motion to that of the shoe. The screens are ad- 

 justable up or down to suit the condition of the grain. The shoe also has a pivoted 

 tail-board which closes tight against the upper sieve, which prevents the blast from 

 carrying out light seeds. This fan can be placed on the ground, as everything fall.** 

 into sacks and boxes.

 force feed on the fertilizer. No cogs are used to change the quantity of grain or 

 fertilizer, and the change is made by a very simple device. The hoes are lifted 

 from the front, and there are no chains, and couvsequently no tangling.

 and the shoe will run through trash. 



Also, the front-lift common plain drill. The hoe pressure can be regulated so- 

 the drills will run any desired depth. 



The Seed Drill Regulator Co., Lemont, Center roimfij. Prim. Exhibited the Heed 

 Drill Kegulator. It is attached to any drill and regulates the depth of the grain. It is 

 claimed to produce from 25 to 75 per cent, more plants than any other drill. It 

 rolls the ground and leaves the ridges intact. It is also claimed that the plants 

 will have from two to three times the root surface, and correspondingly larger tops 

 Mnd consequently will not freeze out. Also, that one-third of seed can be saved, 

 and that the draft of the drill is lightened one-third. Also, that by this appliance 

 the plant gets more benefit of the fertilizer than by any other drill, and that the 

 plant is forced up quicker, and wheat can be sown two weeks later than it ordinarily 

 is sown, thus escaping the fly. It is also claimed that there will be no weakly 

 [ilants.
