THE NEW YORK SEED DRILL. 
MATTHEWS’ PATENT. 
I take pleasure in calling your attention to a perfect Seed Drill. 
and perfected by the father of the seed-drill business—Mr. E. G. Matthews. 
This Drill was invented . 
It has been his 
aim for yews to make a perfect drill and do away with the objections found in all others, and in 
the New York he has accomplished it. 
1. Murker-bar under the frame held by 
clamps, easy to adjust to any width by simply 
loosening thumb nuts. 
_ 2, Adjustable plow which opens a wide 
furrow, and can be set to sow at any depth. 
3. Open seed conductor to show seed drop- 
ping. 
_ 4. Burs inseed conductor, for scattering seed 
im wide furrows, prevents disturbing strong 
plants when thinning out—an important 
feature. 
5. Ridged roller. 
6. Dial plate in full sight of operator, and 
Its advantages over other drills are as follows: 
made of patent combination white metal which 
prevents rust. 
7. Dial plate set on fulcrum, and hence 
holds close up, preventing seed from spilling, 
8. It hasa large seed-box with hinged cover, 
9. Machine will stand up alone when not 
in use, not liable to tip over. 
Itis the SIMPLEST, MOST COMPACT and 
EASIEST DRILL TO HANDLE, being only 
32 inches long. 
It covers the seed better and runs very easy. 
Packed in crates for shipping. Weighs about 
45 pounds. Price, $9.00. 
MATTHEW’S HAND CULTIVATOR. 
THe Matrruew’s Hanp Cuntivator is one of 
the best implements in use for weeding be- 
tween row crops, and for fiat cultivation 
generally, and is an indispensable companion 
to the seed drill. 
It is thoroughly constructed throughout, 
very durable; easy to operate. A boy can do 
as much with it as six men with hoes. It spreads 
from 6 to 14inches, and will cut all the ground 
covered, even when spread to its greatest ex- 
tent. Its teeth are of a new and improved 
pattern and thoroughly pulverize and mellow 
the soil. The depth of cultivating may be 
accurately gauged by raising and lowering the 
wheels, which is quickly done by the use of a 
thumb screw. 
Price, $5.00 boxed.
