 was invented and perfected by the father of the seed-drill business -Mr. E. G. Mat-

 objections found in oil others, and in the Now York he has accomplished it. Its 

 advantages over other drills are as follows :

 by clamps, easy to adjust to any width 

 by simply loosening thumb nuts.

 wide furrow, and can be set to sow at 

 any depth.

 dropping.

 ing seed in wide furrows, prevents dis- 

 turbing strong plants when thinning- 

 out— an important feature.

 and made of patent combination white 

 metal which prevents rust.
