Eroadcasting. — The Philadelphia has been tried and 



PROVEN, not in one section only, but in nearly every State 



and Territory in the Union. In a few plain words we will 



mention some points of superiority : It is easily adjusted - the 



(« quantity sown per acre readily regulated ; the ground requires 



no preparation excepting plowing ; the seed is evefily distrib 



uted, and the breadth of cast is as great or greater than any 



um— itMa^ J I NS other sower, and consequently it can do a greater amount of 



ffli'^^ \ ^||)^i8^^ffl I ' \ ill work in a given time. It sows readily four to six acres an 



hour. The principle of sowing is to follow closely the action 



of broadcasting by hand, casting the seed horizontally and
