■WILLIS'S LATEST IMPROVED SEt:D SOWER. 



Willis's latest Improved Seed Sower, iuvanted the last sea- 

 son; one of the most perfect machines ever introiluced for 

 ihe purpose. In using ihis machine, ihe farmer mav be cer- 

 tain ihat his seel is put into the croun.f, and at the (.ame 

 time in the best possible manner. There has h^en a great 

 difficulty in machines lor sowing garden seeds; they are 

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

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

 constructed that it cannot possibly dug. In using this sow- 

 er, the farmer can .save one half of his seed, and do ihe work 

 at l(ss than one quarter the expense of the common way 01 

 sowing seeds, and have it done in a much better manner ; 

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

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

 Seeds; say Ruta Bagu, Mangel Wurtzel, Turnius, Carrots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions. It is highly recommended by 

 a great number of persons who used it the past season.
