Pratt's Patent Corn and Seed Planter. 



Now is the season for planting and sow- 

 ing, and Pratls Puteut Com and Seed Planters are 

 just what 1 he Farmer wants to plant his Corn and 

 J'eans, and sow his Beets, Onions, Carrots, Ruta- 

 bagas, &c. 



The Machine will make the drill, drop the desired 

 quantity of seed and cover it the proper depth, ail 

 performed by the same operation, without the aid of 

 a horse, and almosl with incredible despatch. The 

 Machine is moved by hand in tlie same manner as a 

 common wheel barrow, the periphery of the wheel 

 making the drill. The seed is let into it by a tube 

 from the hoppor, in wiiicU the seed is lir.st placoj, and at any distance apart desired by the farmer, and is properly and' 

 evenly covered by the coverer, which is raised or lowered by a chain lo secure the even covering, which is sure and 

 sitisfoctory. The only alteration nee; ssary for the different kinds of seed is to change a small plate in the hopper, whicl' 

 can be done in two minutes. [^F Several hundred certificates can be produced of the merits of this Machine, if nec«i 

 but two or three at this time is deemed sufficient. 



RECOMMENDATIONS: 

 Gentlemen — Agreeably to your request I have given the Corn and Seed Planters, sent to me in the spring, a fair 

 trial, and I have concluded lo keep them, and do not know what inducement would tempt me to give them up, and 

 resort to the old method of sowing and planting by hand. I have drilled in 8 acres of carrots with the Seed Planter, 

 and 12 acres of corn with the Corn Planter, both in drills one foot apart, (for fodder for our cows.) 'I'he carrots are now 

 the most beautiful looking crop crop I ever saw, while the corn has produced the largest amount of fodder ever raised 

 on my farm, — much greater than adjoining lots, of the same fertility, planted by hand. 



I have hesitate not to say that the saving in seed and labor, (over the usual method,) on the above twenty acres of 

 corn and carrots, will more than pay the evpense of both Machines, besides greatly adding to the crop, by being more 

 evenly sowed and ihoroughly covered. [Sept. 1, 184G.] C. B. STUART, Agent Rochester City Milk Coinpany. 



This is to certify that I liave used one of Pratt's Corn and Seed Planters the past season, and I do unhesitatingly say 

 that I consider it one of the greatest improvements of the age. I have planted some thirteen acres of beans this season 

 with the said Planter, and it did the work to my entire satisfaction ; and I would recommend it to all may who may be 

 in want of a Planting Machine. [Brighton, July 24, 1846.] ROMANTA HART.
