Model Seed Drill. Regulation of discharge. — Drills of similar con- 

 struction are usually provided with a series of holes of var^'ing sizes 

 through which the seed is passed, whjch ot course, do not always give an 

 opening of the exact size required. This adjustment is accomplished in 

 this drill in a very simple and effective manner by the use of a slide 

 with a pear-shaped opening passing under the bottom of the seed reservoir 

 which is provided with a perforation of similar shape, in a reversed position. 

 This slide can be instantly adjusted to size indicated by Index, or to hair- 

 breadth variation between a vital point in a perfect seed drill. 



Index. The Index or indicator is plain, convenient and reliable. It 

 is placed in open sight, immediatel3' under the eye of the operator, and, 

 as stated above, can be quickly adjusted to the slightest variation desired. 

 As the names of the principal seeds are plainly shown on the Index itself, 

 it is not necessary to refer to any table of reference. 



Cut-off. The" flow of seed "can be instantly stopped by a swinging 

 cut-off, conveniently operated by a cord and ring on hanole. This cut-off 

 prevents all loss of seed on end of rows, and its swing or gravity form 

 will be found far more preferable to one that slides under, as it cannot be 

 jammed by the falling seed. 



Marke'r. Is simple, easily adjusted and firmly held. Broad Wheel— 

 The main wheel is of a large size and of unusual width, preventing its 

 sinking into soft earth. Covering Roller — Is attached by a swinging 

 frame, enabling operator to joll lightly or otherwise, by varying the 

 pressure on handles. Opening Plow. — Is of steel, adjustable in depth, 

 n height. Each drill carefully packed for sh pment. Packed weight about
