STRONGI.Y BUILT! 

 LAST FOR YEARS! 



The acknowledged superiority of these machines over all others has already placed 

 them in the front rank of labor saving implements. A saving of four- 

 fifths of the Labor and one-third of the Seed is effected by 

 their use, and a person entirely unused to sow- 

 ing by hand can use this machine 

 with perfect success. 



The Breadth of the Cast will be according to the Weight of the Seed. 

 The Heavier the Seed the greater the Distance to which it is 

 thrown. The passages ordinarily should be as follows : 



Wheat & Rye, from 30 to 36 ft. 

 Barley, - " 27 " 33 ** 

 Hemp, - " 27 " 30 **

ABOUT SOWING IN THE WIND. 



Anyone familiar with the use of the machine, can sow satisfactorily in a much 

 stronger wind than will admit of sowing well by hand ; but as the ordinary work of 

 a day can easily be done with the Sower in two or three hours, that time may be 

 chosen in the morning or late in the afternoon — when it is usually calm, or 



nearly so.
