SUPERIOR GRAIN DRILL. 



JlANUFAi'TUllED BT 



BScblbrd & Huffinaii, Macedon, Wayne Co. NT. Y. 



THE aljove celebrated Machine has, during the past year, 

 been more extensively introduced tlian any year ])revious, 

 and what is most gratifying to the manufacturers, they have 

 given most unqualified satisfaction. Double the usual 

 quantity has been sold during the past year, mostly of nine 

 tubes, without supplying the demand for them. 



After several years experience, with our present increased 

 facilities for their manufacture, together with some addi- 

 tional improvements in their construction, they are now 

 offered to the public with increased confidence in their su- 

 periority over all other Grain Drills now in use. The grain 

 is distributed by the means of a cylinder operated by difTer- 

 ent sized geer wheels for the purpose of distributing the 

 quantity desired. We are manufacturing them with the 

 drill tubes differently arranged, some with two parallel 

 rows, the front row being seven inches forward of the back 

 row, sowing the rows seven inches apart, thereby facilita- 

 ting the passage of the drill tubes among stones and clods. 

 Others are arranged in one row, eight inches apart ; or we 

 will m;mufacture them to order with the tubes arranged any 

 distan^'e apart required. Those ordering drills will please 

 be prirtieular and mention the kind they prefer. Of the 

 great number solil, not one has been returned, although 

 each is warranted to sow all kinds of grain with accuracy 

 and satisfactory to the purchaser, and to be made in a work- 

 manlike manner. Subject to this warrant, we respectfully 

 solicit the patronage of the public, with a full conviction 

 that they will be fully satisfied, on a fair trial, of the merits 

 of this useful implement. 



Orilers for drills should be sent in early, directed to us, 

 or to

Pielil Seeds. 



AUSTRALIAN WHEAT— very superior. The berry of 

 this grain is extra large, and makes the best of flour. It 

 produces a greater average crop than any other variety now 

 grown in New York. Several years" experience in its cul- 

 tivation, proves that it is less liable to rust or mildew than 

 other kinds ; and as the stalk is large ami strong, it is also 

 less liable to blow down or loilge. Price, .'f4 per bushel. 

 Other varieties of wheat, such as the White Flint, Mediter- 

 ranean, Black Sea, &c. 



BucKWUE-YT, of the best kinds in market.
