 chines, and will cover ten times the ground

 derstood that a child can be instantly taught 

 to use it; so simply constructed it is im- 

 possible to get out of order. Price, $1.00.

Matthew's Hand Cultivator. 



The Matthew's Hand Cultivator is one of the best implements in use for weeding 

 between row crops, and for flat cultivation generally, and is au indispensable companion 

 to the seed drill. It is thoroughly constructed throughout, very durable, easy to operate. 

 A boy can do as much with it as six men with hoes. It spreads from 6 to 14 inches, and 

 cuts all the ground covered, even when spread to its greatest extent. Its teeth are of a 

 new and improved pattern and thoroughly pulverize and mellow the soil. The depth of 

 cultivating may be accurately gauged by raising and lowering the wheels, which is 

 quickly done by the use of a thumb screw. Price, $5.00. 



MATTHEWS' SEED DRIIvL. 



The Matthews' Seed Drill is not an implement of recent introduction, it has been 

 used by many of the gardeners and truckers and is considered by them as one of the best. 

 The easiness with which it is handled, the adaptability to any kind of seed, no matter 

 whether large or small, the regularity with which it sows, makes it superior to many 

 another drill. This implement is composed of a wooden frame in which is set a heavy 

 wheel in front provided with pins on the side which keep the agitator constantly in mo- 

 tion. Attached to this is a small, hollow bull's tongue on top of which the hopper con- 

 taining the seed is fixed. Beneath this hopper is a round disk provided with holes of 

 different sizes so as to regulate the quantity of seed required. This disk can be set ac- 

 cording to the size of the seed to be sown. Inside the hopper is the agitator, which is 

 worked by a lever through the pins in the driving wheel. Attached to the frame is a 

 marker which marks the next row, and in the rear of the frame are two sweeps which 

 cover the seed slightly and an iron roller to press it down. Price, $9.00.
