Matthews New Universal Model Hill and Drill Seeder. 



This implement is the same in style and working qualities as the one just described, but is arranged so as to drop the seed contin- 

 uously in drills or at distance of i. 8, 12. i6. 2i and i8 inches apart. The adjustment from drills to hills is made by one screw In attaching a 

 brass cut-off to the agitator. The distance apart is regulated by the number of cogs on the driving wheefagainst which the agitator 

 strikes. The seed cannot drop except when the hole in the bottom of seed box is opened bj- the agitator striking a cog on the wheel, and It 

 immediately closes again as the agitator drops. This saves seed, as no more need be dropped at a time than is desired, no matter what the 

 distance may be. There are no parts to wear or get out of order. If this implement is wanted be sure and order the '-Hill and Drill Seeder," 

 as the regular garden drill cannot be fitted with the attachments

This Is not only a desirable combination of the Garden Drill already described with the New Universal Cultivating Attachment, but it 

 lias the advantages 'of having either a double wheel or single wheel implement at -svill, the change from one to the other being readily made. 



The use of a one wheel seed sower insures the nicer work, as if two wheels are used an obstruction under one wheel or the other has a 

 tendency to crook the rows, and this makes after cultivation harder. The operator always has a one-wheel seeder under full control, and 

 in addition the single wheel follows in the mark made when planting the previous row and presents a sight to keep the rows straight. 



The two wheels are desirable, however, when used as a cultivator or wheel hoe, as in this way the rows of young plants maj- be strad- 

 dled and the cultivating done on both sides of the row at one passing. The special feature of this implement is that when used in straddle- 

 row cultivation there is no projection below the frame to interfere with plants. The seeding and covering attachments can be readily 

 removed when the implement is used for cultivating. It is not necessary- to remove the seed box. but it can be taken off if desired. The 

 combination is one which cannot fail of recommending itself to^all. The attachments are — 



OXE (1) PAIR HOES. ' FIVE (5) CULiTIVATOR TEETH. 



ONE (1) PAIR RAKES. ONE (1) PAIR PI.OWS. 



Extracts from Prof. S. B. Green's report in Bulletin No. 38 of Minnesota Experiment Station, 



as published in the "Market Garden" for March, 1895. 



"During the past year I have made a special study of garden implements best adapted for garden use. The (New Universal) Combina- 

 tion Drill and Cultivator is arranged to use either one or two wheels. The indicator is very simple in construction and easily handled. 

 The agitator is sure to keep the seed moving through constantly. The depth of sou-ing can easily be regulated. The marker is well adapted 

 for giving a clean track for successive rows, and is easily changed to different widths. A convenient cut-off is provided to use when turn- 

 ing at the ends of the rows to prevent loss of seed. The change from the drill to the cultivator can be made very quickly. For working the 

 soil it has hoes, plows, rakes and cultivator teeth of good shape and size. It can be used successfullj' to open o^close furrows. The machine 

 is adapted to working on both sides of a single row with two wheels or between the rows. The manufacturers recommend for market gar- 

 deners instead of this combined implement separate implements to save the time of changes. 



'•The Xew Universal hand double wheel hoe, cultivator and plow is an implement of recent introduction having all the latest improve- 

 ments. It contains a handy feature in the adjustable arch by which the depth of the cultivator teeth may be regulated. It may be used to 

 woi'k between the rows or to straddle one row."
