(IS tliouffli by hand, and leaving the seed co''ered. It can 
be altered to plant more, or less seed m a iiill. .is may be de- 
sired, and will do the work of throe or four men. Reinj; 
made of Iron and Steel, it is verv durable, and "wil! woik in 
stony soil without receivinp: injury. It will not elofr, or ect 
out of order, and is free Irdtn the objections of oilier ma- 
chines, of whicli any one will be satistled on examination. 
No farmer can .a flu rd to do witliout it; as it saves three-

season will more tlian repav its cost. It weighs <y}< pounds, 
and costs but $>\ if purciiased directly of the makers.

Horace Spafford, a resident of Montrose, in said County, be- 
Ins dulv sworn, savs : i am acquainted with the "Fair'child 
Corn Planter," so 'called, and have used the snme for two 
j'eara last past, and I consider it one of the :,'reatest improve- 
ments of tiie ase. From my experience with said Planter, 
I believe it capable of planting all kinds of ground in a 
complete and perfect manner. A man can plant at least 
three times as much ground when it is stony and roush as lie 
could without tlie Planter, by the use of llie'Hue, and in good 
ground free from stone one hand can plant tour acres or 
more in a dav. It also plants pumpkin seeds equally well and 
at the same time. Beans may also be plante<l witirit.

BEST FARMIiyC LAiyOS in the WORLD 
FOR, SA T .K BY THE 
ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD CO., 
Xn Tracts to suit Purchasers* AT ZiOW PRICES. 
THE ILLINOIS CEN'TU.VL RAILROAD COMPANY HAVE FOR SALE, 
©00,000 ACRES of the best Farming Lands in the Country. 
The road extends from Dunleitb, in the north-western part of the State, to Cairo, in the extreme southern 
part, with a branch from Centralia, one hundred and thirteen miles north of Cairo, to Chicago, on the sliore of 
I^ke Michigan — altogether a length of 704 miles— and the land which is ottered for sale is situated upon either 
side of the track, in no instance at a greater distance than fifteen miles. 
State of Illinois. 
The rapid development of Illinois, its steady increase in population and wealth , and its capacity to produce 
cheap food, are matters for wonder and admiration. The United States Commissioner of Agriculture estimates 
the amounts of the principal crops of 1S04, for the whole country, as follows: Indian corn, 630,581,403 bushels; 
wheat, 160,695,823 bushels; oats, 176,000,054 bushels; of which the farms of Illinois yielded 138.356,135 bushels 
of Indian corn; 33,371,173 bushels of wheat; and 24,273,751 bushels of oats — iu reality more than one-fourth of 
the corn, more than one-fifth of the wheat, and almost one-seventh of the oats produced iu allthe United States. 
Grain— Stock Raising. 
Pre-eminently the first in the list of grain-exporting SUtes, Illinois is also the great cattle State of the 
Union. Its fertile prairies are well adapted by nature to the raising of cattle, sheep, horses and mules; and in 
the important interest of pork packing, it is far in advance of every other State. Tlio soedmg of these prairie 
lands to tame grasses for pasturage or hay, offer? to farmers with capital the most profitable results. The 
hay crop of Illinois in 1864 is estimated at 2,100,725 tons, which is more than half a million tons larger than the 
crop of any other State, excepting only New York. 
Inducements to Settlers. 
The attention of persons, whose limited means forbid the purchase of a homestead iu the older States, is 
particularly invited to these lands. Within ten years the Illinois Central Railroad Comp.any has sold 1,400,000 
acres, to more than 20,000 actual settlers: and during the last year 264,422 acres— a lai-gor aggregate of sales 
than in any one year since the opening of the road. The farms arc sold in tracts of forty or eighty acres, 
suited to the settler with limited capital, or in larger tracts, as may bo required by the capitalist and stock 
raiser. The soil is of unsurpassed fertility ; the clim.ato is healthy ; taxes arc low ; churches and schools 
are becoming abundant throughout the length and breadth of the State ; and commuuicatiou with all the great 
markets is made easy through railroads, c.a:ials and rivers. 
PRICES AND TEKMS OF PAYMENT. 
The price of lands varies from $0 to $15 and upwards per acre, and they arc sold on short credit, or for 
cash. A deduction of ten per cent, from the short credit price is made to those who buy for cash.
