..^1'^^'? ^^^ made some considerable improvements in 

 his Seed Sower, making it coni|ilele as lime and hard study 

 can possibly make it. In using this machine, the farmer 

 nnay be certain that his seed is put into the ground, and at 

 the same lime in the best possible manner. There has been 

 a great difficulty in machines for sowing garden seeds ; they 

 are very apt to clog up, and the farmer mi?ht go over an acre 

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

 is so constructed that it cannot possibly clog. In using this 

 sower, the fanner can save one half of his seed, and do the 

 work at less than one quarter the expense of the common 

 way of sowing his seeds, and have it done in a much better 

 manner ; it o|iens the furrow, drops the seed, coders it over 

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

 Seeds ; say Ruta Baga, Mangel Wurtzel, Turnips, Carrots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions, &c.

GREEK'S PATKNT STRAW CUTTER. 



JOSEPH BRECK & CO. ai Ihe New England Agricul. 

 liiral Warehouse and Seed Store Nos. 01 and 52 North Mar- 

 ket Streel, have lor sale. Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 Stalk Cutler, operating on a mechanical principle not befoio 

 applied to any implement fortius purpose. The mo.si prom- 

 inent effecls of this applicaliou, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are : 



1. So groat a reduction of the quantum of power requisite 

 to use it, that the strength of a half grown boy is sufiicient 

 to work it efficiently. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easilyculstwobush- 

 els a minule, which is full twice as fast as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which th^y 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any other 

 straw cutler. 



4. The machine is simple inits construction, made and put 

 together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as the 

 complicated machines in general use lo get out of order.
