Seymour's New Drill. 



THIS is one of the latest improvements in Drilling Machines, 

 and is bi lieved to be be1 ter adapted to the wants of the far- 

 mer in the line of a Seed Drill than any other before the public, 

 i in drilling wheat but also in all 

 other grain.— such a> pea-, beans, corn. rye. oats, barley. &.c. &c. 

 tthi ■di: Any desired quantity ot lime, plaster, ashes or 

 bone dust may be mixed with the aei d and all deposited in the 

 earth in the most correct manner. More yet: When the farmer 

 wishes to plant corn, beans or any other seed in hills both ways, 

 this i< readily done Something mure yet: Its construction is 

 such that the drill teeth, and- all the fixtures necessary for drill- 

 ing, can he removed in five 

 minutes— and a complete broad-cast machine is left, ready for 

 ; any kind of grain broad-cast. 



Kou The smallest, with Ave teeth, is a very 



for a light horse and convenient for planting two 

 rows of corn at once. 3 tei t apart— one with 7 teeth for 1 or two 

 horses— one with 9, one with 11 teeth, each for two horses, With 

 either of the two large rises three rows of corn may be plaj ti d 

 at once. 



The subscriber, believing the farmer will be better paid for his 

 money in purchassng this instead of any other similar machine 

 in the country, would invite those desiring an article of the kind. 

 to examine his machine ! . ' Isewhere. ui who 



would be sure of one of these machines aa early as w heat-sowing 

 next fall, should send their orders as SO" D aa the first of June. 



SEYMOUR'S BROAD-CAST SAWING MACHlNEi also kept 

 on hand. This is far superior to anything of the kind 

 known in the United States. It - y all Binds Of grain, 



trom peas to grass seed Also, plaster lime, salt, ashes, bone-dust. 

 ice. &cc. It is drawn by one hone, sows ten feet wide, and is fur- 

 nished with an easy seat, on springs, for the driver. Drill teeth 

 are also added to this if dosha J, converting it into a drill at pleas- 

 ure. This machine has been recently much improved. All com- 

 munications pi -i paid will meet with prompt attention 



-\. 15. A few resj onsible agents are wanted to sell the right for 

 these machines in distant territory. P. SEYMOUR.

 Mn. Thomas R IIussey :— I hai . your Grain Reap- 



ers for three years, which outs five feet, i eancul fifteen acres 

 in one day. and in doing so. I gather the grain aa olean as it can 

 be done with a sickle 1 much prefer it to any other mode of cut- 

 ting grain. J. m. SHERVVl II 



Mr. Thomas R. Hcmey:— Sir : 1 have used your Reap! 

 chine for six years, and consider it one of the m 

 Machines that can be used on a farm, and could not be induced 

 to do without one. I can cut from fifteen to twenty acres in one 

 day, and can get lodged grain better than in any other way. I 

 can recommend this Machine to all farmers, as a aheap and expe- 

 ditious way of getting grain. Scipio, March 6, 1817.

J. W. She.man's First Premium Grain Drill and 

 Cultivator and Broadcast Seed Sower. 



COMBINING three of the most useful farm implemonts. Su- 

 perior to any other grain and seed planter for all kinds of 

 grain or seeds ; also a superior corn planter. It will sow broad- 

 cast, or in drills or hills, and cover grain, and sow plaster, ashes 

 and all fine manure, broad-cast— or will drill it in the rows in such 

 quantities a di sired As a field Cultivator it works well and is 

 believed to be superior to any other, on all kinds of ground. It 

 SOWS or plants from the smallest to the largest grain and seeds, 

 accurately. It is the most iged J all the tubes can be 



raised or lowered, or either of them, without stopping the team 

 Any person capable of managing a team can use this machine 

 and alter it from one quantity to another in one minute. It is 

 durable, permanently constiucted. and not liable to get out of 

 order. We do not boast of inventing three drills. We hap 

 to get a good machine the first time, which is more than can be 

 said (truthfully) of some that have invented more, who boast of 

 their worthless articles. We cannot tell of getting 500 ma I 

 season for Western New York ; it takes time to make a good arti- 

 cle. But we will try to fill all orders from Western -New V o,k and 

 other sections and warrant our drill the best in use. 



A •■ do not tell of selling $25 cheaper than others, for we think 

 we can sell all we can make at a fair price, and we b< lieve our far- 

 mers are willing to pay such a price for a good art iele. We prom- 

 ise to sell as cheap as any other that has a reliable machine, that 

 does the work up right. All we ask of those wishing Plain 

 to examine for themselves. We are also ready to meet any in- 

 ventor of Frills on the soil Boasting on paper is one thin-' : 

 demonstration ou the soil another. All we ask is a trial. 



To any one wishing further information we will take pleasure in 

 Bending a descriptive sheet. We would conclude by just si 



that our machine received two first premiums last fall, 



State Fair at Buffalo, on an imperfect machine, not finished. We 



subjoin the certificate the I ommittee kindly gave us : 



■■ We the Committee on Farming Implements, No. 1, having 

 J. W. Sherman's Held Drill and Cultivator under consideration, 

 consider it the best implement of the class that has been pn 

 ed, and have returned it as being entitled to the highei I Premium. 

 Buffalo, Sept. 7, 1848. A. OSBOK.V CA'n. 



1 have received the Premium in three Diplomas 



All communications should be sent to me at this place and will 

 be promptly answered and attended to. 



We shall want a number of agents to sell machines ami rights 

 ! to commence soon. J. W. SHERMAN.
