The Gordon 



Automatic Hand 

 Corn Planter. 



ITS ROTA RY SLIDEhas 

 a motion TWO ways— back 

 and forth. It prevents 

 skips. No matter how short 

 the stroke, the pocket is 

 pushed into the corn, and 

 back into the conveyor 

 tube. This motion is posi- 

 tive. It breaks up all bridg- 

 ing, and fills the pocket 

 uniformly— it counts the 

 kernels for each drop. 



THE IRON STRIPPER 

 will not wear out nor 

 bx-eak. It prevents an over- 

 dose of corn, and will not 

 crack a kernel. 



The entire dropping- de- 

 vice is made of iron, held 

 together by three bolts. 

 All parts are easily acces- 

 sible and readily adjusted. 



THE HOPPER IS IN 

 LIN WITH THE CEN- 

 TRE, there is a double-coil 

 spring on each side, and 

 the planter hangs well in 

 the hand. The material is 

 all the best. The Planter is 

 finished with a selected 

 hardwood frame, finished 

 bright, a brilliantly painted 

 hopper, t<nd all parts var- 

 nished.

 Fertilizer 

 Drill. 



The agitator is new, being of steel, in the 

 form of two knife-shaped arms sweeping around 

 under the mass of the fertilizer and throwing it 

 upon the revolving disc below. A shut-off has 

 lately been added, whereby the waste of fertilizer 

 is stopped when turning at ends of rows. As shown 

 in cut, loops are bolted to frame for the purpose of 

 attaching a horse. We cannot too strongly recom- 

 mend this Drill to pea growers as being one of the 

 very best tools for sowing peas. The same can be 

 said of it in regard to sowing fodder corn or en- 

 silage.

Single Row Fertilizer 

 Distributor. 



This fertilizer distributor will sow any kind of 

 fertilizer evenly. We use the same feed that we 

 use on the planter with fertilizer (except that it is 

 much larger), which has given entire satisfaction. 



The fertilizer bottom and feed is composed of only 

 five pieces, viz., the bottom, the cap, the crown- 



wheel pinion and the agitator. The Agitator is 

 connected on the shaft, standing perpendicular, 

 which prevents the fertilizer from arching. Under 

 the planter is a funnel-shaped iron which scatters 

 the fertilizer as desired. 



Three chain wheels are furnished with each ma- 

 chine. It will sow or distribute evenly any kind 

 of commercial fertilizer and in any quantity de- 

 sired, from the smallest to the largest amount re- 

 quired per acre.

The Baltimore Lime and 

 Ash Spreader. 



This is a strong and substantial machine, with 

 spreading capacity of from 15 to 80 bushels to the 

 acre. The quantity can be regulated at the will of 

 the operator. The wheels are 4 1-2 feet high. It 

 has six feed, and will spread 7 1-2 feet wide. The 

 box or hopper is fitted with a powerful agitator, 

 which breaks any arch formed by lime, ash or 

 commercial fertilizer. The lime is fed out on a dis- 

 tributing board or shaker, which can be set at dif- 

 ferent elevations, and this, in vibrating, distributes 

 the lime evenly and regularly. The lime falls 

 but a few inches, thus avoiding dust to either 

 driver or horses. If the wind is very strong an 

 apron can be tacked, if desired, in front of the 

 hopper. Ordinary lumps going through the at- 

 tachment sieve will not interfere with the sowing. 

 We also furnish an extra cap and large wheel, 

 whereby fertilizers of every description, and plas- 

 ter, can be sown in quantities as low as 300 pounds 

 per acre, and if coarse 250 pounds per acre. Hop- 

 per holds IS bushels slacked lime.
