:\o. OC— Allen's Planet Jr. Com- 
bined Drill and Wliecl Hoc. — [See engraving, 
next column, of tliu '■ Planet Junior Hand Seed Drill and 
Wheel noc."] This popular hand imjneraent for sowing 
and hoeing drilled crops, has been greatly improved 
for 18 1 8 ; having opening Plow, Spout. Roller, Carrier, 
and Subsoilers of entirely new, and of greatly superior 
patterns. The remaining parts of the machine arc also 
now subjected to close scrutiny in manufacture and test- 
ing the maki-rs being determined to leave nothing un- 
done that will improve Ihis favorite tool. The Cylindrical 
Brass Seed Hopper revolves icith the carrying wheels, pre- 
Teutiug all packing and clogging so usual in upright 
^^ 
exactly on top of tlie seed. It sows all Garden and Bmall 
Kursery seeds, also ehows the seed as it drops, never in- 
jures it, never clogs, drops evenly, covers with perfect reg- 
ularity, rolls down light or heavy, marks the next row, 
(superior new style marker), and turns at the ends on the 
roller, without pausing or sowing. THE COMBINED 
ilACHIXE holds one quart. Both sizes work with the 
smallest amount of Eeed, and can be made to drop in 
hills at different distances. The Combined iTachinc be- 
comes a TTheel Iloe b'j removing one boll. It has tico jiairs 
of tempered steel hoes, one for delicate work close to the 
plants, leaving the ground level ; the other for throwing 
heavy farrows to or from the row, and for covering Corn, 
Peas. Beans, Potatoes, etc. It also has a pair of subsoi'ers 
for deep etirring, and a shovel plow for thorough cultiva- 
tion, andf or opening drills for Peas. Beans. Com, Potatoes, 
etc. At the first tending, the machine works beautifully 
as a Double Wheel Uoe, afterwards between the rows. "With 
this eize, Onion-growcra can sow their crop any depth, 
width, or thickness, and also do all the hoeing with sur- 
prising ease, rapidity, and perfection, llanufacturod by 
S.L. Alle^j & Co., :S"o. 1!0 South 4th St., Ph'lladelphia.

Cveairral Xotcs on tli<^ Pi-esiiiniiit 
Fire Anns,— To meet a general desire, we have ar- 
ranged to supply sume valuable weapons front the noted 
and reliable estsbliebments of E. Reminoton & Sons, 
hoppers, especially with rough, chaffy, or soaked eeeds ; 
the holes can b; minuti:ly adjusted all at once, no^ con- 
Jltiing you to unsuitable sizes, and each is covered by a 
patent shield or cup which discharges on\y after reacti- 
ing the bottom, ijisvring regular dropping. The Plow 
works between the c:uTying wheels, opening just at the 
depth set, avoiding the tiresome watch or skilled labor 
usually necessary, and depositing the seed m & straight 
narrow line, an Important advantage in cultivation. The 
covcrinir is done as shown in the cut. th<' plow throwing 
the earth upon the wheels, which continually return it 
Ilion. N. Y., and 2S5 Broadway, N. Y. City. The Reming- 
ton's arc natural mechanics, and supervise their own 
work : they employ the most skillful workmen, and turn 
ont the beet work thnt human fkill can produce. Several 
millions of their weapons are in use. Any one desiring 
a fuller description, can obtain a /pc« d^ecriptivo manual 
by sending to E. Remington & Sons. 2S.'I Broadway. X.T.

equivalent to carrying several guns, loaded with various 
charges of ammunition for different game. This valu- 
able fire arm has ececl barrels, using paper or brass car- 
triages that can be re-loaded many times, 2 dozen of 
which, and reloader (costing ^A) and 500 primers or caps,
