The '-New Model" Seed Drill. 



One of tiie most perfect Drills in America. 



REGULATION OF DISCHARGE.— As will be 

 seen, by reference to the sectional cut shown, this 

 a.djustment is accomplished in a very effective r.-.ar.- 

 ner by use of a slide with a pear-shaped c::e:"-:"^ 

 passing under the bottom to the seed reservoir, 

 which is provided with a perforation of similar 

 shape in a reversed position. This slide can be in- 

 stantly adjusted to size indicated by Index, or to a 

 hair-breadth variation between — a vital point in a 

 perfect seed drill. 



IXDEX.— As shown by enlarg-ed cut, the Index 

 or Indicator is convenient and reliable. It is im- 

 mediately under the eye of the operator; can be 

 ■quickly adjusted to the slightest variation desired. 

 As the names of the principal seeds are plainly 

 •shown on the Index itself, a table of reference is 

 not necessary. 



CI7T-0FF.— The flow of seed can be instantly 

 -stopped by a swinging cut-off, conveniently oper- 

 -ated" by a cord and ring on handle. This cut-off 

 nrevents all loss of seed at end of rows, and its 

 swinging or gravity form will be found far prefer- 

 able to one that slides under, as it cannot be 

 iammed by the falling seed. 



BROAD TVHEEL.— The main wheel is of large 

 size and of unusual width, preventing its sinking 

 Into soft earth. 



C0"^T:RIXG ROLLER.— Is attached by swinging 

 frame, enabling operator to roll lightly or other- 



wise, b?" varying the pressure on handles; or. as 

 some object to use of roller, it, with its frame, can 

 be Quicklv removed. 



OPENING PLOW.— Is of Steel, adjustable in 

 depth. Price S6..50

Sows from 4 to S acres per hour at an ordinarv 

 vralking gait, throwing wheat about feet wide. ' 



A sa^-ing of four-fifths of the labor and one-third 

 •of the seed is effected by the use of this machine, 

 -and a person entirely unused to sowing by hand 

 can use it with perfect success. 



TO SOW TmCKER OR THINNER WITHOUT 

 -CHANGING THE SLIDE.— Having set the index 

 lo the desired quantity- per acre — takinar the aver- 

 -age of the field — the operator can easily 'sow a little 

 thicker upon those places where the soil is richer, 

 oy taking shorter steps, and thus not going so fast, 

 -and upon the poorer spots of ground it can be sown 

 thinner by taking longer steps, and consequentlv 

 passing more rapidlv forward. 



ABOUT SOTvING IN THE WIND.— Any one fa- 

 miliar with the use of the machine can sow satis- 

 factorily in a much stronger wind than will admit 

 of sowing well by hand: but as the ordinarv work 

 of a day can easily be done with the Sower "in two 

 or three hours, that time may be chosen early in 



Directions for Ga 



The large gate is to be used wher. so wins srrain. 

 -and the small gate in the larger one for grass seed 

 only. 



First close the slide or gate tight, then fix the 

 lower edge of the index point against the scale of 

 Inches on the slide for the different seeds as follows- 



FOR WHEAT AND RYE.— To sow two bushels to 

 tne acre, at 1 inch. To sow one and a-half bushels 

 to the acre, at S-4 of an inch. 



FOR BARLEY.— To sow two bushels to the acre, 

 at 1 inch. To sow one and one-eighth bushels to 

 the acre, at S-4 of an inch. 



FOPk HEilP.— To sow one bushel to the acre, at 

 1-2 an inch. To sow one and a quarter bushels to 

 the acre, at -5-5 of an inch. 



the morning or late in the evening, when it is 

 usually calm, or nearlv so. 



FOR SOWING IN STANDING CORN the ma 

 chine will be found of the greatest utility— nothing 

 can ever equal it for this purpose — but will not sow 

 as wide as on fallow ground, in consequence of the 

 obstruction which the com offers to "the seed. A 

 broader lap is therefore required, by making the 

 passages near together. (See directions.) 



The breadth of the cast will be according to the 

 weight of the seed. 



Wheat and Rye. 30 to 36 feet. 

 Barley. 27 to 33 feet. 

 Hemp. 27 to 30 feet. 

 Oat. 21 to 2-5 feet. 



Clover, Millet. Hungarian Seed. 20 to 24 feet. 

 Timothy. 15 to IS feet. 



uging: ttie :»Iacliitie. 



FOR OATS. — To sow two bushels to the acre, at 

 . 1 1-2 inches. To sow one and a-half bushels to the 

 acre, at 1 1-4 inches. 



When ready to sow. first commence turning, and 

 with the left hand raise the slide until the nib on 

 the slide comes against the index point. Be careful 

 to walk and turn, as above directed. To close the 

 slide, do it with a quick pressure of the left hand. 



To sow Wheat or Rye in standing com. two bush- 

 els to the acre, set the index at 5-S of an inch, and 

 sow five or six rows at a time, according as they 

 are wide or narrow. 



FOR GRASS SEED.— To sow one peck of grass 

 seed to the acre, raise the small gate 3-8 of an inch; 

 half a bushel. -5-? of ?,n inch.
