I'he New Model Seed Drill 



SEED DRILLS AND HAND CULTIVATORS. 



Model Seed Drill. Regulation of dis- 

 ctiarge.—Drills of similar construction are usu- 

 ally provided with a series of holes of varying 

 sizes through which the seed is passed, which, 

 of course, do not always give an opening of the 

 exact size required. This adjustment is accom- 

 plished in this drill in a very simple and effec- 

 tive 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 perfora- 

 tion 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, immediately 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 handle. 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. 



Marker. 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 roll lightly or otherwise, by varying the pressure 

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

 Firmly bolted, braced and adjustable in height. Each drill carefully 

 packed tor shipment. Packed weight, about 40 lbs. Price, $7.00. 



O-em Hand Cultivator. The Gem of the Garden.— Scuffle or cutting blades, 

 one U and one 9 inches wide. Two plows, right and left hand. Five stirring 

 teeth, all made of the best steel. The wheels and handles are adjustable in height 

 while the frame is so slotted that the holes, teeth and plows can be set at almost 

 any angle. Price, $4.50; double wheel attachment, $4.50 extra. 



The A. H. Mathews' Seed Drill. This reliable drill has been before the
