Thompson's Clover 



.... SLUd. .... 



Grass Seeder. 



This Grass Seeder is simple, without gearing, 

 cams or intricate machinery; it cannot get out of 

 order. 



It is strong, yet weighs but forty pounds. Per- 

 fection feed is attained in making it absolutely pos- 

 itive, yet a non-leaking carrier when thrown out of 

 connection. 



The Quantity of seed to the acre is accurately 

 shown by the index plate. You place the pin, the 

 machine measures the seed. 



Clover, Timothy, Red Top, Hungarian, Millet, 

 Flax, Orchard Grass, Fancy Blue Grass, Alsike and 

 chaffy seeds are alike sown by it. 



It cannot clog. The wheel may be covered with 

 mud, yet its working will not be affected. 



Working near the ground, even strong winds have 

 no effect upon its accuracy. 



A manilla rope passes through a groove in the 

 bottom of the box, fastened at the ends to a rod 

 moved back and forth by a lever. This is operated 



i 



Sows la or 14 feet Avide, any amount 

 desired per acre. 

 Will sow 30 to 25 acres per day.

by the revolution of the wheel, upon each of the 

 eight spokes of which is fastened a casting. These 

 castings strike alternately V-shaped irons on the 

 feed levers. The length of stroke governs the quan- 

 tity of seed sown, and is regulated by the pin which 

 forms a fulcrum at any distance desired from the 

 driving point. The plate for this pin is accurately 

 marked in figures, indicating the quantity of seed 

 sown per acre. By use of a thumb screw the lever 

 can be thrown out of connection, when all sowing 

 stops, the feed-rope covering the holes in the bot- 

 tom of the hopper, through which, when at work, 

 it forces the seed. 



Manilla rope is used because it is better than 

 wire or any substitute. It does not wear the groove, 

 bruise the seed, or fail in its work — wire rope will. 

 Being scorched and chemically treated, our rope is 

 weather proof. It is provided with an iron wedge 

 at one end of the feed rod, so that it may be loos- 

 ened when not in use.

 nished with each Planter.

Advance Pea and Fertilizer Drill. 



XL Hand Corn Planter. 



The distributing disc being of wrought iron, and 

 galvanized, can neither break nor rust, thus en- 

 tirely obviating the faults of glass and iron. 



The agitator is also new, being of steel, in the 

 form of two knife-shaped arms sweeping around 

 under the mass of the fertilizer and throwing it 

 upon the revolving disc below. A shut-off has 

 lately been added, whereby the waste of fertilizer 



is stopped when turning at ends of rows. As shown 

 in cut, loops are bolted to frame for the purpose of 

 attaching a horse. We cannot too strongly recom- 

 mend this Drill to pea growers as being one of the 

 very best tools for sowing peas. The same can be 

 said of it in regard to sowing fodder corn or en- 

 silasre.
