The teeth are all placed in one rank, unless or- 

 dered to be put in two ranks. It is believed by 

 the 82 who have made experiments, and given the 

 subject their careful attention, that the evils caused 

 by lumps, stones, &c, being thrown by the teeth in 

 the hind rank into the furrows made by the teeth in 

 the front rank, are in most cases far greater than 

 the advantages gained. This fact has induced the 

 inventor to construct his double-ranked drill so 

 that the teeth can all be placed in one rank, at 

 pleasure, thus obviating in this drill the objection 

 to all other two-ranked drills. The price of the 

 drill with teeth in two ranks, is five dollars higher 

 than those with teeth in but one rank. 



If required to sow Plaster, G-uano, or any other 

 fertilizer, a Feeder should be added, for these are 

 very apt to be damp and if slightly damp, the Feed- 

 er is useful. 



If required to sow grass seed, whilk drilling, a 

 light broadcast "seeder" is added, with which any 

 seed, from wheat to the smallest seed, can be sown 

 in front of the drill teeth, and is slightly covered by 

 them. Clover and Timothy mixed is readily sown 

 with this, and it is conveniently guaged to any de- 

 sired quantity per acre. To convert it into a Horse 

 Hoe, for hoeing drilled grain, a set of Horse Hoes, 

 with shanks, like the shank of the drill teeth, are 

 put in place of the drill teeth. Wilh these additions 

 or "Extras," it is capable of sowing srass seed, 

 hoeing drilled grain, and sowing plaster, all at 

 onck. The machines are designated by number as 

 follows:

They are made under the superintendence of the 

 patentee and inventor, and we design to make 

 every machine in all respects as it should be, be- 

 lieving it will contribute to our own interest so to 

 do, and that if we put in bad work or poor mate- 

 rials, the in jury falls heavier upon ourselves than 

 it can upon he purchaser.

SEYMOUR'S IMPROVED PATENT 

 GRAIN DRILL, 



THIS Machine is capable of sowing all coarse 

 grain and all fine seed commonly sown by 

 Farmers, from corn and peas down to the smallest 

 seed, such as clover, timothy and other grass seeds, 

 either broadcast or in Drills, and while it is the 

 best Drill for wheal, rye, Oats, barley, &c, it is just 

 the thing in drill in line dry fertilizers before putting 

 in the seed— or. these fertilizers may be mixed wilh 

 these'-;;, and all deposited in the ground together. 



Its reputation has been in advance of all other 

 drills for the last six years, in the State of New 

 York, and it has six times taken the first prize be- 

 Stowe i on Grain Drills by the Agricultural Society 

 of thai State 1 , including the highest prize and diplo- 

 ma, ai the great trial of implements made by that 

 Societv at Geneva, in 1852. It is one of the most 

 simple in its construction and machinery, as well 

 as tire most convenient and durable of all Drills; 

 and without disparaging others, it is believed to be 

 better adapted to the various purposes for which such 

 a ma '-bine is wanted, than any other implement 

 known in America; and its value is greatly in- 

 creased from the fact that it is converted into a 

 Broadcast Sowing Machine, merely by removing 

 the drill teeth and conducting tubes, which can easi- 

 ly be done in five minutes. A recent improvement 

 which prevents the shrinking and swelling of the 

 wood from affecting the correctness of its operation, 

 also adds much to its value. 



Another and still more recent improvement, 

 called 



SEYMOUR'S GUANO ATTACHMENT 

 Is expressly intended to meet the wants of those 

 who wish to drill fine fertilizers into the ground 

 •with the grain, but prefer to keep such fertilizers in 

 separate compartments till discharged from the box, 

 when boin seed and fertilizers will pass together 

 through the same drill tubes into the ground. There 

 Is therefore but little room for those who are well 

 posted in relation to grain drills, to doubt that this 

 is the cheapest, as well a? the 



BEST GRAIN DRILL IN THE WORLD; 



They are usually made with nine teeth, eight in- 

 ches apart The wheels are high, and the draught 

 so light for a ream, that those with only seven teeth 

 are now seldom ordered, while there is an increas- 

 ing demand tor those with eleven teeth; therefore 

 those with nine and eleven teeth are the only sizes 

 kept on hand — but any other size, and those with 

 teeth any other distance apart, will be made to 

 order. 



The Machinery is remarkably simple, permanent 

 and easily kept in repair, and all the parts are so 

 clearly presented to the view of the operator, that 

 he can readily see if anything is not correct; and the 

 grain falls from the seed box to the tubes (a space 

 of s veral inches,) in full view, so that in passing 

 ©vera field, he may be constantly assured that the 

 s«ed is deposited as designed. *
