They are all made under the supervision of th»i inven 

 tor, and it is intended that every machine shall be made 

 as it should he; for we are well aware that if we allow 

 bad work or materials, the evil is greater to ourselves 

 than to the purchaser. The price with all improve- 

 ments made previous to 1845, is $55- In July. 1855, an 

 improvement was patented which when applied in- 

 creases the price to $G0. 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 quije 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 removed 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 thiy are in use by intelligent fanners 

 in half the States in the Union, as well as in Canada, we 

 would refer tu all these gentlemen to testify to their ex- 

 cellence :
