revolves the dial, attached to the bottom of the hopper, until the right 

 sized hole in it for planting that seed comes directly into place. This 

 ingenious invention is a great improvement over any other method in 

 use, and is infinitely more convenient and reliable. 



The drill is complete in all its arrangements, and is very durable. 

 There are no cams, gears, springs or belts to get out of order, nor are 

 there any parts subject to the unusual wear, and, rightly used, it will last 

 many years and do a vast amount of service without requiring any 

 repairs.

MATTHEWS' HAND CULTIVATOR. 



Price, $6.50 Boxed. 



The Matthews' Hand Cultivator is one of the best implements in 

 use for weeding between row crops, and for flat cultivation generally, 

 and is an indispensable companion-implement to the seed drill. 



It is thoroughly constructed throughout, very durable and easy to 

 operate. A boy can do as much ivith it as six men with hoes. It spreads 

 from 6 to 14 inches, and will cut all the ground covered even when 

 spread to its greatest extent. Its teeth are of a new and improved pat- 

 tern, and thoroughly pulverize and mellow the soil. The depth of cul- 

 tivating may be accurately gauged by raising or lowering the wheels, 

 which is quickly done by the use of a thumb screw. 



Finding that it is sometimes preferred with two wheels, and some- 

 times with one, we now make it both ways, and can therefore furnish 

 it either with two wheels, or with one wheel, as desired, although, 

 unless otherwise ordered, we usually send the former, which is repre- 

 sented by the cut.
