Lindsey's Compost Drill 



A SPLEXDID MACHINE FOR TRUCKERS WHO WaSH TO 

 DEPOSIT MASVRE IN ROWS. 



Furnished with 

 iron wheels, built di- 

 rectly on the tubular 

 axle. The spokes are 

 made of steel and se- 

 curely looped around 

 the axle. The out 

 ends extend through 

 the rim, and are pro- 

 vided with vats, 

 which serve to adjust 

 the wheels and also 

 to prevent slipping. 

 In the center of the 

 axle are four teeth clamped around it, and on each side of 

 these, three inches away, are two other teeth projecting 

 through the axle. There are also two teeth in the frame 

 that pass between the central teeth and the side ones, which 

 help to do the grinding. The front wheel is made of iron 

 and is supported by four braces, two of which have a series 

 of holes, which are used to adjust the wheel to suit depth of 

 furrow. The hoppers, which are 3 feet long, 18 inches wide 

 and 18 inches deep, holding four bushels, on the No. 1, and 

 314 feet long, 22 inches wide and 22 inches deep, holding 

 seven bushels, on the No. 2, are balanced on the wheels. 



The bottom of the hopper is closed by two iron plates 

 which regulate the discharge and are controlled by a lever 

 which is held where left by friction. The teeth are always 

 in the center of the opening. 



*It is simple, strong and durable. It will do the work of 

 six hands. It will do better work than can be done by hand 

 or any other machine. It does the most laborious work on 

 the farm and at the busiest season. It saves compost as well 

 as time. It is light on man and horse. It pulverizes the 

 compost as it distributes it. The amount can be regulated 

 without stopping the machine. It works almost a"ywhere 

 a plow can be used. It works well in any reasonable com- 

 post. It can be unclogged without unloading and very often 

 without stopping. It can be operated by any boy who can 

 plow. It has a graduating lever.

This is a strong 

 and substantial ma- 

 chine, with spreading 

 capacity of from 15 

 to 80 bushels to the 

 acre. The quantity 

 can be regulated at 

 the will of the oper- 

 ator. The wheels are 

 4% feet high. It has 

 six feeds and will 

 spread 714 feet wide. 

 The box or hopper is 

 fitted with a power- 

 ful agitator, which 

 breaks any arch 

 formed by lime, ash 

 or commercial fertilizer. The lime is fed out on a distrib- 

 uting board or shaker, which can be set at different eleva- 

 tions, and this, in vibrating, distributes the lime evenly and 

 regularly. The lime falls but a few inches, thus avoiding 

 dust to either driver or horses. If the wind is very strong 

 an apron can be tacked, if desired, in front of the hopper. 

 Ordinary lumps going through the attachment sieve will not 

 Interfere with the sowing. We also furnish an extra cap 

 and large wheel, whereby fertilizers of every description 

 and plaster can be sown in quantities as low as 300 pounds 

 per acre, and, if coarse, 250 pounds per acre. Hopper holds 

 18 bushels slaked lime.
