The Seeding Device, 



THF SEEDING DEVICE employed on all Matthews' Seeders is set forth in the accompanying illnstratlonj\ 

 ihowing transparently the. solid wall of the seed box. The Indicator, which is also shown above, ha» th* 

 names of the various seeds plainly marked upon It- The DIAL has a separate hole for each kind of seed, 

 which registers in the CENTRE of the hole in bottom of seed-box. The hole in the dial may be gauged to sj 

 nicety by means of the REG DLATOK, held by a thumb-screw. To lead the seed to the central opening ther« 

 Is provided a CORRUGATED and shouldered bottom, which admits of dropping any quantity of seed, even to 

 a SINGLE PAPER. The feed is practically a force fe?d. No other device ever met with the success of th« 

 AGITATOR principle for dropping all the smal 1 garden seeds. The seed is not bruised or damaged by thQ 

 AGITATOR. The MANUAL CUT-OFF indicated in the Illustration by the dotted lines, with Its spiral spring 

 connection, is worked from the handle by a wire, and the flow of seed may thus be instantly checked. No seed 

 need be wasted in turning rows. 



Matthews' ^IfMi^fM^^B ^ .Hill and Drill Seeder. No. i6 



Thla-lnaplemfint Is^bersame In style and working qualities as the one just described, but is arranged so as to drop the seed continuously in drills or at a distance of 4, 

 U, 16, 24 and 48 inches apart, The adjustment from drills \o hills is made by one screw in attaching a brass cut-off to the agitator. The distance apart is regulated by th» 

 number of cogs on the df-iving wheel against which the agitator strikes. The seed cannot drop except when the hole in the bottom of seed-box is opened by the agitator 

 Btriking a cog on the wheel, aud it immediately closes again as the agitator drops. This saves seed, as no more need be dropped at a time than is desired, no matter what 

 the distance may 'be. There are no partsto wear or get out of order. If this implement lo wanted be sure and order the "Hill and Drill Seeder," as the regular garden 

 drill cannot be fitted with the attachments. Our retail price, 87.60. List price, <»9 .00. 



The manufacturers of this line do not make a Hill and Drill Seeder with cultiva'ing attachments, and we would recommend, as FAR PREFERABLE, one of the ab0T» 

 leparata drills and a separate single wheel hoe complete, with ALL the attachments, for which pur retail price covering the two separate implements Is oiiIt- 913.00. \

This l8 not only a desirable comblnaUon of the Garden Drill already described with the New Universal 

 Ctlltlvatlhg attachment, but it has the advantage of being cither a double wheel or single wheel implement 

 At will, the change from one to theother being readily made. 



The use of a one-wheel Seed Sower insures-the nicer work, as If two wheels are used an obstruction 

 under one wheel or the other has a tendency to crook the rows, and this makes after-cultivation harder. 

 The operator always has a one-"wheel seeder under full control, and in addition the single wheel follows In 

 the mark made when planting the previous row and presents a sight to keep the rows etrajgh*. The two 

 wheels are desirable, however, when used as a cultivator or wheel hoe, as in this 

 way tha rows of young plants may be straddled and the cultivating done on both 

 0ldes of the row at one passing. The special feature of this implement Is that when 

 used In straddle row cultivation there is no projection below the frame to Interfere 

 With plants. The combination is one which cannot fail of recommending itself to 

 all. The attachments are— One (1) Pair fioes, Five (6) Cultivator Teeth, One (1) 

 Pair Bakes, One (1)-Palr Plows. •

Gem Seed Drill; 



It lias anew seed regulator for gauging the exact flow of seed re- 

 quired; seed cut-off for stoppiog the flow while turning at the ends 

 of rows, and marker adjuster for marking the rows at any d^ired 

 distance apart. We do not recommend it for use instead of the 

 larger drills, buiTse are sure that all in want of euch a drill as we 

 represent will find this to be a very valuable Implement.
