Steel Frame Combined Drill and Check-Rower Corn Planter. 



Fertilizer Attachment 



13 



, 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 of 

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

 machinery. WHEN USED FOR DRILLING, it will sow the fertilizer continuously, and cat 

 be regulated to sow from 50 to 400 pounds to the acre. WHEN USED FOR HILLING, It will sow tht 

 fertilizer continuously or at intervals with the corn in thehiUs, as desired 

 and can be regulated to sow from 50 to 4u0 pouDds to the acre iu hilliDg 

 THE FERTILIZER ATTACHMENT is made automatically adjustable, si. 

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

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



annoyance of making any changes. THB 

 WHOLE COMBINATION works almost at 

 easily and with as mu' h precision as clock 

 work. THE MACHINE IS NO EXPERJ 

 MEN T. 



USING THE MACHINE AS A DRILL 

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

 inches apart by changing the chain to tht 

 different sprocket wheels on the shaft. I' 

 WILL PLANT IN HILLS from two to sii 

 grains by changing the chain to different 

 sprockets, dropping from 2 to 3, 3 to 4. 4 to » 

 or 5 to B grains in a hill as desired. 



MARKER SHIFTED WITHOUT GET- 

 TING OFF THE PLANTER. We have ai 

 eye on the hammer-strap bolt to which tht 

 marker rope is attached, and the marke> 

 can be placed on either side of the Plant«> 

 without the driver leaving the seat. 



NO JAR ON THE HORSES' NECKS. W e 

 use a coil spring pressure connection to tht 

 Planter tongue, which relieves the horsee 

 necks of the weight and removes the forc« 

 of the jar occasioned by rough, unevn 

 ground. It makes the Planter flexible ant 

 allows the runners to go down into uuevei 

 places and dead furrows, thus making th« 

 Planter cover more perfectly. 



NOVEL CONNECTION TO COUPLE FRONT TO BACK. The arms connecting to the boxei 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 MACHINE Is ADJUSTABLE IN WIDTH, beiug 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 

 pushed by 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 conveyor tube. This motion 

 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. It prevents 

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

 ping device is made of iron, held together by 3 bolts. All parts are 

 easily accessible and readily adjusted. 



THE HOP PER 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 i; 

 selected hardwood frame, finished bright, a brilliantly-paintec 

 hopper, and all parts varnished
