THE MODEL DRILL. 



The Index or Indicator is plain, convenient and reliable. 

 It is placed in open sight, and can be quickly adjusted to 

 the slightest variation. The names of the principal seeds 

 are jilainly shown on the Inde.x. The flow of seed can be 

 instantly stop)ied by a swinging cut-off, which prevents 

 all loss of seed at the end of rows. Its swinging or gravity 

 form will be found preferable to slides, as it cannot be 

 jammed by falling seed. The marker is simple, easily 

 .adjusted and firmly held. The main wheel is of large 

 size and of suflSoient width to prevent its sinking into soft 

 earth. The covering roller is attached by swinging frame, 

 •enabling the operator to roll ligktly or otherwise, by vary- 

 ing the pressure on handles. Price, $8.00.
