The York Force Feed, Grain and Fertilizer Drill. 



SIMPLICITY OF GEARING.— The grain and 

 fertilizer feeds are both driven hy link chain belts, 

 and is geared from the centre of the drill, thereby 

 avoiding the use of cog wheels at the ends of the 

 boxes, which are a constant source of annoyance, 

 on account of the dust and dirt always getting in 

 them, drjang the oil, and causing them to wear 

 out very soon. 



CHANGING THE QUANTITY PER ACRE.— 

 The change in quantity of grain or fertilizer to be 

 sown per acre, is done by simply moving two lev- 

 ers, one for the grain feed and one for the fertilizer 

 feed, and which can be done while the drill is in 

 operation, thereby changing the quantity of grain 

 from 1-2 to 4 bushels per acre, and the fertilizer 

 from 50 pounds or less to 600 or 700 pounds per acre, 



according to the condition of the fertilizer. By 

 this mechanism the quantity of grain to be sown 

 per acre can be varied from the smallest to the 

 largest amount necessary, varying the quantity 

 as little as 1-2 or 1 pint at each change. 



THE FERTILIZER FEED can be stopped or 

 started any time while the drill is going, and is 

 convenient in case you do not want to sow fertil- 

 izer while passing over spots of good ground. 



Both the grain and fertilizer sower are POSI- 

 TIVELY FORCE FEEDS, and will sow with ab- 

 solute regularity any kind of grain and fertilizer. 



The Grass Seeder is also a force feed, and can be 

 used either in front of the hoes or behind them; 

 the quantity can also be changed to any amount 

 necessarj^; it is fastened on the frame, and is very 

 low down, thus preventing the wind from blowing 

 the seed away before reaching the ground. 



BOTH of the WHEELS have ratchets in the 

 hubs, and act as DRIVING WHEELS, each hav- 

 ing two pawls in the hub instead of one, as in other 

 drills; .by the use of these pawls there is no lost 

 motion, and the moment it moves it commences 

 feeding; when going in a circle the outside wheel 

 does the driving. 



THE ACRE OR LAND MEASURE.— It has two 

 hands; one makes a revolution for each acre; and 

 the other, a revolution for every 12 acres. 



The Grain Feed. 



Will accurately sow any kind of grain. The agi- 

 tator for sowing oats is furnished with every drill, 

 and will make it sow regularly. It is a positive 

 force feed. 



The Fertilizer Feed. 



This whole feed can be taken apart while in the 

 drill. It has a gum spring washer that locks the 

 ratchet nut underneath the fertilizer bottom, 

 which relieves the feed of any hard strain -and 

 causes the feed to run more smoothly than any 

 other. The feed gate and pinion for same are gal- 

 vanized on all drills, which prevent them from 

 corroding or rusting. 



Timothy Seed Feed. 



The Timothy Seed Force Feed will sow 2, 3, 4, 

 4 1-2 or 5 quarts, or double the amount, by chang- 

 ing the wheels, as per directions.
