Matthews' Garden Seed Drill. — This drill is designed to be used in field or garden. When in operation, it 

 opens the furrows, drops the seed accurately at the desired depth, covers it and lightl)^ rolls it, and at the same time 

 marks the next row, all of which is done, with mechanical precision, by simply propelling the drill forward. In this 

 way it sows with an evenness and rapidity impossible for the most skillful hand to do, all the different varieties of 

 Beet^ Carroty Onion^ Turnips Pars7iiJ>, Sage, Spinage^ Sorgum, Peas, Beans , Broom Corn, Fodder Corn^ ifc. 



The agitator stirs the seed in the hopper_ thoroughly by a positive motion, which insures continuous and uni- 

 form delivery, and the bottom of the hopper is made sufficiently dishing to sow the smallest quantity of seed. When 

 desired, the movement of the agitator can be checked, and the drill may then be propelled forward or backward 

 without dropping seed. A simple contrivance accurately gauges the uniform deposit 0/ the seed to any required 

 depiky thus avoiding the risk of planting at irregular depths, or so deep in places as to destroy the seed. The mark- 

 ers are made adjustable for the purpose of marking the rows at any desired distance apart, and they mark them 

 distinctly whether the ground is even or uneven. Another great advantage which it possesses over any other ma- 

 chine is that it is the 07ily drill which has an INDICATOR ivith the names of differe7it seeds there07i. This indi- 

 cator is devised to simplify the adjustment for sowing different varieties of seeds. It is securely attached to the side 

 of the hopper, in plain sight, and is made use of for changing from sowing one kind of seed to another by simply 

 turning it until the name of the seed to be planted comes up to the indicator pin, which revolves the dial attached 

 to tne bottom of the hopper, until the right sized hole in it for planting that seed comes directly into place. This 

 ingenious invention is a great improvement over any other method in use, and is wonderfully convenient, besides 

 being entirely reliable. Price, boxed and delivered at depot or express office, $13.00.

Matthews' Hand Cultivator. 



Matthews' Hand Cultivator.— Is one of the best implements in use for weeding between row crops, and for 

 fiat cultivation generally, and is an indispensable companion implement to the seed drill. It is thoroughly con- 

 Stxncted throughout, very durable, and easy to operate. A boy can do as Tnzich with it as six 7ne7i zvith hoes, xt 

 s^ureads from 6 to 14 inches, and will cut all the ground covered, even when spread to its greatest extent. Its teeth 

 3Lre of a new and improved pattern, and thoroughly pulverize and mellow the soil. The depth of cultivating may 

 be accurately gauged by raising or lowering the wheel, which is quickly done. It was formerly made with two 

 Tj-heels, afterwards some were made with two wheels and some with one wheel ; but, as the latter was. for various 

 reasons, found to be generally preferred, it is 7iotv 7nade with 07ie wheel, as shown in above cut, and this latest 

 pattern cannot fail of being appreciated wherever used. Price, boxed and delivered at depot or express 

 office, $6.50.
