Willis slate.st Improved Seed Sower, invonted the last rea- 

 son; one of the mostperlect machinrs ever introduce<l for 

 the purpose. In usiug this machine, the larmer mav be cer- 

 lain Ihat hi? .seed IS put into the ground, and at the kame 

 time 111 the best jmssible manner. There has b^en a great 

 difticuUy in machines lor sowing garden seeds; they are 

 very apt to clog up, and the farmer might go over an acre of 

 land and noi sow a single seed; but not so with this ; it is so 

 constructed that it cannot jrossibly clog. In using this sow- 

 er, the farmer can save one half of Ins seed, and do the work 

 at I. ss than one quarter the expense of the common way of 

 so .vnig seeds, and have it done m a much better manner • 

 It opens the furrow, drops the seed, and covers it over and 

 rolls them down. It will sow almost anv kind of Garden 

 Seeds; say Rata Baga, Mangel Wurizel, Turnios, Carrots 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions. It is highly recommended h\ 

 a great number of persons who used it the past season
