Fertilizer Attachment 



, OTH the corn and fertilizer feeds are driven from the back axle of the machine, thus taking 

 all the strain off the check -rower wire, except that the wire operates the valves and deposit* 

 the hill of corn and hill of fertilizer in dropping:. The fertilizer feed being located inside ol 

 the spout, it cannot gum up as when located in the hopper, as is usually the case iu fertilizer 

 machinerv, 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 atintervals with the corn in the hills, as desired, 

 and can be refrulated to bow from 50 to 4oO pounds to the acre iu hilling. 

 THE FERTILIZER ATTACHMENT ia made automatically ad.iustable. 8C 

 that, when the Planter is changed from one width to another, the fertilizei 

 attachment will conform to the width of the Planter, thus avoiding the 



annoyance of making any changes. THE 

 WHOLE COMBINATION worksalmost at 

 easily and with as mui h precision ns clock- 

 work. THE MACHINE IS NO EXPEBI- 

 MENT, 



USING THE MACHINE AS A DRILL. 

 It can be changed to drop 10, 12, 14 or It 

 inches apart by changing the chain to th« 

 different sprocket wheels on the shaft. H 

 WILL PLANT IN HILLS from two to Six 

 grains by changing the chain to different 

 sprockets, dropping from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to f 

 or 5 to 6 grains in a hill as desired. 



MARKER SHIFTED WITHOUT GET- 

 TING OFF THE PLANTER. We have ar 

 eye on the hammer-strap bolt to which the 

 marker rope is attached, and the market 

 can be placed on either side of the Plantef 

 without the driver leaving the seat. 



NO JAR ON THE HORSES' NECKS. W« 

 use a coil spring pressure connection to tht 

 Planter tongue, which relieves the horses 

 necks of the weight and removes the f orc« 

 of the jar occasioned by rough, uneven 

 ground. It makes the Planter flexible ani 

 allows the runners to go down into uneven 

 places and dead furrows, thus making th« 

 Planter cover more perfectly- 



NOVEL CONNECTION TO COUPLE FRONT TO BACK. The arms connecting to the boxe»on the planter-beam are slotted so that th« 

 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 M.\CHINE IS ADJUSTABLE IN WIDTH, being so arranged that it will plant 3 ft.. 3 ft. 2 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. 6 in., 3 ft. 8 in., 3 ft. 10 in. The arrangement for changing it is very simple, as it is accom 

 plished bv simp'y loosening a few bolts. Wheels will run on or off the rows as desired.

THE GORDON 



Automatic Hand Corn Planter. 



ITS ROTARY SLIDE has a motion TWO ways- back and forth. 

 It prevents skips. No matter how short the stroke, the pocket is 

 pushed into the corn and back into the conveyortube. Thismotion 

 is positive. It breaks up all bridging, and fills the pocket uniformly 

 — it counts the kernels for each drop. 



THE IRON STRIPPER will not wear out or break. Itprevents 

 an over-dose of corn, and will not crack a kernel. The entire drop- 

 ping device is made of iron, held toeether by 3 bolts- All parts are 

 easily accessible and readily adjusted. 



THE HOPPER IS IN LINE WITH THE CENTRE; there is a 

 double-coil spring on each side, and the Planter hangs well in the 

 hand. The material is all the best. The Planter is finished with a 

 selected hardwood frame, finished bright, a brilliantly-painted 

 hopper, and all parts varnished
