 unable to continue his assislanre as editor, owing to 

 other engaireinents, and Mr Ureck finding his at- 

 tention fully occupied by ihe bvisiness concerns of the

BACIIELUEKS' PATR.^T PLANTING 

 MACHINE 



This Machine, recently uivenled I y L. &.S. H. Batchel- 

 DEn, of Hailip-stead N- 11. is one ol the most ronvenieiit and 

 lalior .saving: unplemenls ever introduced to the notice of the 

 farmer II is smiple in ils couslnictii>ii, and certain and re!>- 

 ul r ju its operation. It is calculated lo plant all liinds of 

 seed usually planled in hills i>r ihills. 



This Machine is constructed on principles altogether riif 

 fereiil (loni all others of similar purpose. Il performs the 

 operation ofplaniinK without opening a lurruw, Iheiehy dis. 

 pensing wiili covers, ihal are conliiniallv liahlc lo clog, and 

 eel oul of order. h simply raises the soil a llllle, and at 

 Ihe same lime nrops the seed ot any distance desired, when 

 the .soil falls hack lo ils orij^mal place and is immediately 

 followed hy a nioveaWe giiage, that leaves Ihe soil to any 

 dcplh over Ihe seed which ihe operator chooses; it also re 

 moves all small slones and sods from the ground where the 

 seed is deposited. 



This Machine has hcen in operation during the past seas 

 on and thoroughly lesteu hy practical Farmers and Mechan- 

 ics in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and is pro- 

 nounced hv Ihem a complete and useful Machine, and is al- 

 lowed hy all who have seen it, to be superior lo every other 

 implement of the kind now in use in Ihe Uniled Slates. Il 

 opeia'es equally v^ellon wet or dry ground, and is warranted 

 lo work well on any ground ihai can be furrowed with the 

 common plough. 



O" Orders will he received hy L. & S H. Bacheldeh, 

 Hanipslt-ad, N H., or by ihe subscriber at Haverhill, 

 Mnss.. their General Agent for Ihe United States, for the 

 Planter, or a right to manufacture and dispose of them. 

 Any communication addressed lo either will receive alien,

TO THE PUBLIC. — We whose names are hereunto an- 

 nexed, certify that we have examined BacnelJen' Patent 

 P.'nnling- Machine, and seen il operate on several of our 

 farms m Deerfield, Oneida County; the seed planled there- 

 by seems well planted, wherever the ground is in proper or- 

 der, and is now coming up ; and we believe the Machine 

 fully answers Ihe de.scnpIion given of il in Ihe handbills de- 

 scribing and recommending il, and heartily concur in said 

 recommendation, believing as we do ihat it will prove a val- 

 uable labor-saving Machine, and on good land will soon 

 supersede ihe labor of planting by hand in the old and com- 

 mon method. DOLPHUS SKI.NNER,
