SOUTHERN PLANTER— ADVERTISING SHEET. 



one of these machines 300 bushels : it sows ten feet 

 wide and distributes the seed with perfect regularity 

 over the surface at any rate you may desire to the 

 acre. The quantity is indicated by an index, to 

 which a pointer is attached, and a small boy capable 

 of filling the box with wheat, and driving so as not 

 to vary much from the track of the machine, can 

 manage it as well as a grown person. The grain is 

 not affected by windy weather. I think I can safely 

 reeommend the machine to the Agricultural 

 Community. 

 Very respectfully, your obedient servant. 



ROBERT W. CARTER. 



They are all made under the supervision of the 

 inventor, and it is intended that every machine shall 

 be made as it should be; for we are well aware that 

 if we allow bad work or materials, the evil is great- 

 er to ourselves than to the purchaser. The price 

 with all improvements made previous to 1845, is $55. 

 In July, 1855, an improvement was patented which 

 when applied increases the price to $00. Since 

 that time another very valuable improvement has 

 been perfected ; and with these late improvements, 

 the value of the machine to the purchaser is nearly 

 or quite doubled, while the price is only increased 

 to $65. Another box, placed behind the wheels, 

 will be furnished to order at $25. With this, grain 

 or seed may be sown while sowing some other seed 

 or substance from the main box. This can be re- 

 moved or replaced in five minutes. 



Reference is made to all the Presidents of the 

 New- York State Agricultural Societies who have 

 presided since 1845, and as they are in use by intel- 

 ligent farmers in half the States in the Union, as 

 well as in Canada, we would refer to ail these gen- 

 tlemen to testify to their excellence:

DESCRIPTION & PEDIGREE op KOSSUTH. 



Was foaled in Columbia County, State of New- 

 York; is a beautiful rich dark brown, five feet three 

 inches high, of great muscular power and symme-tr/' 

 of form, docile disposition, and can trot his mile 

 inside of two minutes and forty seconds to a wagoo. 

 His Colts are remarkably fine and promising, aod 

 as a proof three of them received first class pre- 

 miums at the last State Agricultural Fair, and fwm 

 2 to $400 a piece has been refused for some of t&em. 

 at six months old. 



Kossuth was sired by that wofki renowaed 

 trotting horse New York Black Hawk, ot»i of %he 

 well known trotting Mare Lady of t-he Lake, and 

 she out of a thorough bred Mambrino Mare, Tie 

 sire of black Hawk was the celebrated staKioa 

 AndrewJackson. The sire also of Jackson, Kern- 

 ble Jackson, Henry Clay, Yotmg Andrew Jecfevon, 

 and large numbers of other fast ones, the fastest 

 trotting horse of his day, he was sired by Yoong 

 Bashaw, who was by Imported Grand Baskaw. 

 The dam of Andrew Jackson was by Why Not, a&d 

 Why Not by old Imported Messenger, the Grasidi 

 dam of Jackson also by Messenger. Black Hawk-'a 

 dam was the distinguished trotting Mare Sally 

 Miller, who has trotted her mile in two micnles acwi 

 thirty seconds, and was not excelled by any horse of 

 her time. She was got by Tippoo Saib, and he by 

 imported Messenger, her dam by Gunpowder. Black 

 Hawk's time with heavy weight is the best ok re- 

 cord, up to the time of his death, and established 

 his claim to be the best tjot-ting Sfaliioa to 

 America.
