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 ordi- 

 nary walking gait, 

 throwing wheat 

 about fourty feet 

 wide. 



Special Gate for Grass Seed. 

 Strongly Built. Last for Years. 



The acknowledged superiority of these machines over all others 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 efifected 

 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 

 ordinarily 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 satisfactoril}- 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.
