THIS Machine is a continuous intermittent rotary drop Planter, made to droj) the entire hill at 

 one time. It does not, however, destroy the usefulness of a combined machine, and it can be 

 used as such by simply changing from thick to thin i)iate, and by putting on or taking off the 

 drive chain. Using the nu\chine as a drill, it can be changed to drop 10, 11 or IG inches 

 aiiart by changing the cliain to a different sprocifet wheel on tlic shaft. It will plant in hills with 

 the ilrill drop, from two to six gnii is, by changing the chain to different sprockets, dropping from 

 \2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to .5 grains in a hili. Four sets of thin feed plates for different size corn are used with 

 drill crop, either for drilling or hilling. Each of our thin feed plates has 

 eight sets of holes varying in size from one- half to eleven-sixteenths of 

 an inch, liy having four sets of feed phites with diffei-cnt size seed holes 

 and dilferent cone sprockets, wc get lij changes. This is eiiual to :« feed 

 plates, as compared to I'lanters using thin feed plates, witli dilferent 

 uumber of feed holes in them and without the use of cone sprockets for 

 driving the feed.
