WILLIS'S LATEST lAIPROV EO SEED SOWER. 



Willis's latest Iinproved Seed Sower, invented llie last sea- 

 son •, ime of the most perfeel mai-hinrs ever introduced for 

 the purpose. In using this machine, the fanner mav be cer- 

 tain that Ills see, I is put into the ground, and at the hnnie 

 lime in the best possible manner. There has li"Oii a great 

 difficulty in tiiachines lor sowing garden seeds; they are 

 very apt to clog up and the larmer mi^ht go over an acre ol 

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

 constructed that it cannot possibly clog. In u-^ing this sow- 

 er, the farmer can save one half ol'h^s seed, and do the work 

 at li ss than one cpiarlt-r the expense of the common way of 

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

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

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

 Seeds; say Rula Baga, Mangel VVurtzcl. Turiuus, C.irrots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions. It is highly recoininended by 

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