Tlie Janesville Planter is made adjustable in width 3 feet to 4 feet. 

 It has a strong- frame, disc, marker, adjustable seat, open or concave 

 wheels, plain or stub runners. 



Seed Boxes are removable, and the plates may be changed without 

 removins?- the corn. This also enables the operator to refill the seed- 

 can by taking it to the grain sack instead of carrying the heavy sack 

 to the machine, an exclusive Janesville feature. The time gear for 

 driving the seed plants, together with the removable 

 boxes, are so constructed that you cannot get the seed 

 boxes on the wrong side, nor can you get the driving gear 

 out of time. With our Convertible Drop (see cut) we 

 furnish with each Planter both kinds of plates, so that by 

 simply changing the seed plates you can 

 have either the Edge Drop or Flat Drop. 

 The Flat Drop gives much the best results 

 with mixed seed, and it is sometimes not 

 convenient to have selected seed corn. 



Our Edge Drop is one of the best mechan- 

 ical devices ever gotten up for the purpose, 

 and operates as follows: The seed plate has cells 

 in the outer edge, each of which is made to re- 

 ceive one kernel of corn edgewise. A revolving 

 disc working on an eccentric over the seed plate 

 insures the filling of these cells. 



The cut-off will not crack the corn. The 

 spring knocker drops in each cell and forces out 

 the kernel. The seed plates are chain driven 

 from a sprocket wheel on the main axle to a 

 sprocket on the feed shaft. This obviates the 

 side draft and relieves the wire strain.

The valves of the Janesville 

 Planter are two in number in 

 each shank, an upper and a 

 lower. This makes it impos- 

 sible to plant two hills at the 

 same time. The lower valve 

 keeps the heel of the runner 

 clear and by its action equal- 

 izes the difference between 

 fast and slow driving. The 

 upper valve prevents all possi- 

 bility of discharging seed be- 

 tween the hills. Being en- 

 closed in the shank, the valve 

 mechanism cannot he affected 

 by trash. The change from 



hill to drill drop may 

 turning a button on 

 which opens the valves; then re- 

 lease the clutch so as to make a con- 

 tinuous revolution. (See Fig. -3.) 



The Automatic Clutch device is an 

 exclusive feature tliat every user 

 will appreciate. Its action is with- 

 out jerk or jar when thrown in and 

 out of gear, and it is positive in ac- 

 tion. A safety device prevents 

 breakage should a foreign substance 

 get into the hopper. The buttons on 

 the wire trip the clutch, allowing 

 the feed shaft to make one revolu- 

 tion. This accumulates enough corn 

 for one hill. It is then thrown out 

 l utton operates the check rower and 

 ear. 



The front of the Planter is 

 raised and lowered at will by 

 means of the hand and foot lift, 

 assisted by a spring lift. This 

 arrangement balances the weight 

 at any point. The pole has a 

 spring under the back end, which 

 gives perfect flexibility. 



Spring Lift and Connection to 

 Front Frame. 



An adjustment on the pole may 

 be raised or lowered to regulate 

 the set of the check rower. 



The Check Head Trip is a pat- 

 ented' device which operates en- 

 tirely different from the former 

 manner in which this was ac- 

 complished. A trip bar is fas- 

 tened on the front frame, and 

 when the planter is raised out of 

 the ground it automatically re- 

 leases the wire from the planter. 



Automatic W ! r e 

 Distributer and 

 Reel. 



The Automatic 

 Wire Distributer 

 and Reel are oper- 

 ated by power 

 from the main 



axle, so that you simply have to drive the horses and 

 the reel takes care of Itself, whether in laying out or 

 taking up llie wire. The reel has a friction clamp, 

 which is to be used in letting out the wire, so as to 

 produce the proper tension. The Automatic Distrib- 

 " r ■^■'■'^ prevents tangling on the 



reel This is also an exclusive idea, and found only on 

 the Janesville No. 1 Planter.
