Fertilizer Attachment. 



OTH the corn and fertilizer feeds are driven from the back axle of the maehiue. thus takjn„ 

 all the strain off the check-rower wire, except ttiat the wire operates the valves and deposits 

 the hill of corn and hill of fertilizer in dropping The fertilizer feed being- located 

 inside of the spout, it cannot gum un as when located in the hopper, as is usually tlie ease in 

 fertilizer machinery. When used for drilling, it will sow the fertilizer continuously, and 

 can be regulated to sow from ,50 to 400 pounds to the acre. When used for hilling-, it will sow 

 the fertilizer continuously or at intervals with the corn in the hills, 

 as desired, and can be regulated to sow from 50 to 400 pounds to the acre 

 in hilling. The Fertilizer Attachment is made automatically ad- 

 justable, so that, when the planter is changed from one width to another, 

 the fertilizer attachment will conform to the width of the planter, thus 



avoiding the annoyance of making any 

 changes. The whole combination 

 works almost as easily and with as much 

 precision as clock-work. The machine 

 is no experiment. 



Using the machine as a drill. It 

 can be changed to drop 10, 13, 14 or 16 

 inches apart by changing the chain to the 

 different sprocket wheels on the shaft. It 

 Will plant in hills irom two to six 

 grains by changing the chain to diC'erent 

 sprockets dropping from 3 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 

 5 or .5 to B grains in a hill as desn-ed. 



Marker shifted without getting 

 off the Planter. We have an eye on the 

 hammer-strap bolt to which the marker 

 rope is attached, and the marker can be 

 placed on either side of t-he Planter 

 \vithout the driver leaving the seat. 



No Jar on the horses' necks. We 

 use a coil spring pressure connection to 

 the Planter tongue, which relieves the 

 horses' necks of the weight and removes 

 the force of the jar occasioned by rough, 

 uneven gmund. It makes the Planter 

 lle.Kible and aiiows the i-unners to go down 

 into uneven places and dead furrows, 

 thus making the Planter cover more 

 perfectly, 



STovel connection to couple front 



to back. The arms connecting to the bo.-ces on the planter-beam are slotted so that the Planter has a perfect floating motion, and is adapted 

 to all conditions of the ground. This feature is found on no other combination Planter. 



The machine is adjustable in width, being so arranged that it will plant 3 ft., 3 ft. 3 in., 3 ft. 4 in., 3 ft. 6 in., 3 ft. 8 in. or 3 ft 10 in. 

 apart for the Eastern trade. For Western trade, 3 ft. (5 in. 3 ft. 8 in., 3 ft. 10 in. The arrangement for changing it is very simple, as it is accomp- 

 lished by simply loosening a few bolts. Wheels will run on or ott the rows as desired.

 regulated by a simple change of sprocket wheels, those sent with Planter dropping a distance 

 of 13, 14, 15>5, 17, iSH or 20 inches. The capacity of fertilizer distributor is up to a ton per acre, 

 dependin . on condition of fertilizer; by a simple adjustment of gate or change of sprocket
