The York Force Feed Grain and 

 Fertilizer Drill. 



There are certain points of superiority about these 

 drills that are well worth considering, viz.: SIM- 

 PLICITY OF GEARING, CHANGING the QUAN- 

 TITY seed or fertilizer per acre and THE FERTIL- 

 IZER FEED. Both the grain and fertilizer sowers 

 are POSITIVELY FORCE FEEDS, and will sow 

 with absolute regularity any kind of grain or fer- 

 tilizer in good condition. The grass seeder is also 

 a force feed and can be used either in front or rear 

 of the hoes; also the quantity can be changed to 

 any amount necessary. It is fastened on the frame 

 and very low down, thus preventing the wind from 

 blowing the seed away before reaching the ground. 



(CAREFULLY NOTE THESE POINTS.) 



A constant source of annoyance found in some 

 other drills, in having dust and dirt accumulating 

 about the gearing is avoided in this drill, in that the 

 gearing is driven by LINK CHAIN BELTING, 



Geared from the centre of the drill, thus avoiding 

 the use of cog wheels at the end of the boxes. 



Another point gained by the use of this drill is 

 the MANNER of CHANGING the QUANTITY per 

 acre. In this, cog wheels are done away with. 

 Another source of annoyance. 



There are used instead two levers— one for grain 

 feed and one for fertilizer feed, and by simply mov- 

 ing them either back or forward the indicators, in 

 plain view, guiding the operator, and enabling him 

 to accurately sow the desired quantity per acre; 

 but bear in mind, in using the fertilizer feed the 

 operator must be governed by the condition of the 

 material. The quantity of grain to be sowed can 

 by this means be varied from the smallest to the 

 greatest amount desired, varying as little as a half 

 to a pint at each change. The fertilizer feed can 

 be stopped or started at any time while the drill is 

 in motion, which makes it convenient in case the 

 operator does not wish to sow fertilizer while going 

 over good ground. 



The HOISTING and HOE SHIFTING LEVER 

 attachments are the simplest and latest improved 

 on the market. Simply pulling down lever at right 

 hand end of drill, making a quarter circle, form- 

 ing a dead centre lock, raises the hoes, and simply 

 touching the lever with one finger releases the hoes. 

 The shifting, or zig-zag lever, is on the left-hand 

 °LJ2 0X and is vep y easily operated, having 

 three different changes, one-half of the hoes mov- 



ing backward and one-half forward. Both wheels- 

 are drivers, , and have rachets in hubs. Each hav^
