292 THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. 



SEYMOUR'S 



Broadcast Grain and Guano Sower, 



We confidently recommend this Machine to 

 Farmers. Having but little machinery, it is diuable 

 and easily kept in order, and sows regularly any quan- 

 tity of grain or guano desired. Frank: Ruffin, Esq., 

 Editor of the Southern Planter, thus comments on it : 



" We are so perfectly convinced of its great value in 

 efficient working capacity, cheapness, durability and 

 simplicity ot construction, that we do not hesitate to 

 recommend it to the public — a thing which it is known 

 we do not often venture upon. Again, one horse works 

 the machine with perfect ease. It sows a breadth to 

 ten feet as fast as a horse can walk, and carrying two 

 bushels at a time, does not require as many stoppages 

 as are necessar}' by a man who seeds by hand. The 

 seeding, too, is entirely independent of the wind, 

 and done with us as well during very high winds, 

 which prevailed most of tue time, as during a calm, be- 

 cause the seed are delivered so close to the ground. — 

 We not only recommend the machine to every farmer, 

 but urge them to buy it, not on Mr. Seymour's ac- 

 count, who is nothing to us, but on their own,"
