This machine has been in use in a few localities for the 
past ten years, and hasp?'oved itself by long; trial to be an 
invaluable implement. The proprietor of the Patent. hav- 
ing been largely engaged in another branch of business, 
neglected to bring it into public notice. 
The subscribers having long known it to be an efficient and 
very much needed machine by agriculturists everywhere, 
have recently bought, at large expense, the entire right of 
manufacture and sale of it, throughout the United States, 
and are now prepared to supply the trade. 
The greatest value of this implement consists in the fact 
that it distributes the grain evenly in the most perfect man- 
ner, thus insuring a larger crop than can be obtained from 
any other mode of seeding. 
Its operation is so simple that anybody can readily use It. 
The Hand Machine sows from 6 to S acres of wheat per 
hour, and the Power Machines from 15 to 20. It sows 
WHEAT, RYE, BAHLEV, HEMP, OATS, 
CLOVER, and HERDS GRASS or TIMOTHY 
SEED perfectly, and is invaluable for sowing Guano, 
Superphosphate, or any dry Fertilizer. 
We want every farmer In this country to buy one of these 
machines. Buy them of the nearest dealer In Agricultural 
Implements, if you can, but if you cannot, we will box and 
forward by express a Hand Machine on receipt of Ten Dol- 
lars, and a Power Machine ou receipt of Sixty Dollars. We 
make a liberal discount to the trade. 
We could furnish hundreds of testimonials, but have room 
only for the following : 
Portland. Maine, October 29lh, 1SGS. 
Messrs. D. H. GOODELL & Co., of Antrim, N. H., have 
this day purchased of me the Sole Right to manufacture 
and sell " CAHOON BROADCAST SEKD SOW£RS,"in the 
United States. They will soon be able to supply the largely 
increasing demaud, and all orders should be addressed as 
above. 
The validity of this patent has been fully established after 
one of the most exhaustive BUits known to Patent Law, x\nd 
fully believing any practical Seed Sower operating by cen- 
trifugal force to be an infringement, I caution the rublic 
against buying or selling any other than the "CaboohMa.- 
chine," as all infringements will be Promptly Prosecuted.

Gentlemen :— The " Caiioon Broadcast Seed Sower," 
Hand and Power, arc universally used in California, and give 
entire satisfaction. We sell no other, and no other could 
sell alongside ot them. They arc the very embodiment of 
utility. Yours Respectfully,

Nora, Jo. Daviess County, Illinois, May 2nd, l?."S. 
Gentlemen:— I have been using your Power Machine for 
the last nine years, and I cansafelysay.it is the best and 
njost durable Broadcast Sower that waa ever brought be- 
fore the farming community. I would not be obliged to do 
without it for three times its cost. I have averaged sowing 
three hundred acres a year for the past nine years, and 
therefore think I am competent to judge of the Machine. I 
could not buy a Machine that would suit me as well, or do 
the amount of sowing that I have every year. To accom- 
modate my friends, I often go three or four miles away from 
home to sow grass seed, and I can sow it to perfection, no 
matter which way the wind blows. I am confident I can 
beat any one Bowing by hand. The agent told me when I 
bought the Machine if I COUld sow more evenly by hand ho 
would make me a present ot the machine, but I never tried 
and do not care to. Very Truly Yours, 
B. H. RESSNER.
