SEYMOUR'S PATENT BROAD-CAST SOWING MACHINE. 

 Patented May 7, 1845. 



To those Agriculturists who wish to combine Ease, Correct- 

 ness, Speed, and Profit in their operatio7is : — 

 The Subscriber vvishos lo invite your attention to liis 

 new PA TEAT BROA D- CASTSOWINd MA CHINE, 

 whi(;li sows correctly, all kinils of Grain, from Peas to Grass 

 Seed, inclusive ; also, Plaster, Lime, Limed wheat, damp 

 Plaster, &c. This Machine is a two wheeled carriage, on 

 which a man or boy rides in an easy scat to guide the horse 

 and govern the Machine when sowing. By a slight motion 

 of the fool or hand he throws the maclune out of gear and 

 stops sowing at pleasure, while the carriage is still under 

 motion. Il will operate well in windy weather. It is sim- 

 ple in its construction .and sure in its operaliim, sowing any 

 quantity per acre, and is far superior to any hitherto in use. 

 It was exhibited last fall at the Agricultural Fairs in On- 

 tario, Monroe, and Livingston Counties, and drew a premi- 

 um at each of those fairs. 



As the subscriber has been several years manufacturing 

 those formerly in use, and is the inventor of this, he flatters 

 himself that he will be able to give entire satisfaction, and 

 furnish you with the very thing you want. 



He is manufacturing them in East Bloomfield, Ontario 

 County, N. Y., where he will attend to all orders on short 

 notice. Those at a distance ordering machines, may have 

 them forwarded by Canal or Rail-road. 



The following Cirtificates will be satisfactory to all who 

 are acquainted vvitli the persons whose names are subjoined 



TO THE PUBLIC. 

 I have used Seymour's Patent Sowing Machine the past 

 season, and it has done its wosk to my perfect satisfaction; 

 having sowed mv grain more evenly than can de done by 

 any human hand: AZAllIAH BICKFORD. 



Victor, October 1.5th, 1845. 



This may certify that I have used P. Seymour's Sowing 

 Machine the past season, to my satisfaction, and think it a

This may certify that I have used P. Seymour's Sowing 

 Machine in sowing Oats, Barley, Peas, Clover, and Herd's 

 Grass Seed, and it performs to my utmost satisfaction. I 

 sowed thirty bushels of Oats, eight bushels of Peas, and 

 twenty bushels of Barley, in one day, and I think thirty 

 acres a reasonable day's work. JAMES H. GL.\SS. 



Avon, May, IG, 1846. — 



This may certify that I have used P. Seymour's Sowing 

 Machine, to sow about one hundred and thirty acres of grain 

 and plaster, and am well pleased nith the machine. It will 

 sow grain more even than can be sowed by any human 

 hand. It will even sow Clover and Timothy Seed as well 

 a.s any one can wish. JOSIAH C. TAFT. 



West Bloomfield, May, 1846. 



We are acquainted with P. Seymour's Sowing Machine, 

 and can recommend it as an excellent article for those pur- 

 poses for which it is intended. We believe it much supe- 

 rior to any other ever introduced into this country.
