Cahoon's Patent Broadcast Seed Sower. 



For Sowing Wheat, Oats, Hemp, Barley, Rye, Buckwheat, Grass, 



Seed, Rice, etc. 



Sows from four to eight acres per hour at an ordinary walking gait, throwing 

 wheat about forty feet wide. Warranted to give perfect satisfaction and save their cost 

 in a very short time. 



Special Gate for Grass Seed. 

 Strongly Built. Last for Years. 



The acknowledged superiority of these machines has already placed them in the 

 front ranks of labor-saving implements. A saving of four-fifths of the 

 labor and one-third of the seed is effected by their use, 

 and a person entirely unused to sowing by 

 hand can use this machine with 

 perfect success. 



The Breadth of the Cast will be according to the weight of the seed. The 

 heavier the seed the greater the distance to which it is thrown. The passages ordi- 

 narily should be as follows : 



Wheat and Rye, from 30 to 36 feet. 

 Barley, from 27 to 33 feet. 

 Hemp, from 27 to 30 feet. 

 Oats, from 21 to 25 feet. 



Clover, Millet and Hungarian Seed, from 20 to 24 feet. 

 Timothy, from 15 to 18 feet. 



About Sowing in the Wind. 



Any one familiar with the use of the machine can sow satisfactorily in a much 

 stronger wind than will admit of sowing well by hand; but as the ordinary work of 

 a day .can easily be done with the sower in two or three hours, that time may be 

 chosen early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when it is usually calm or 

 nearly so. 



Price, $4.00.
