Will be sent anywhere, free of Express charges, for $3, one 
of McConaughey's Patent Corn Droppers, one of the most 
complete maciiines ever invented for dropping corn, sorgho 
and other seeds. One person, with a pair of these droppers, 
can drop 15 acres a dav. It will drop it right in the cross. It 
can be set to average any number of grains desired to a hill. 
It can be regulated to scatter the corn more or less in the 
hill, or drop it all in a close bunch, if desired. In windy 
■weather this dropper is just the thing needed, as the corn 
can not be blown about while dropping. 
Three hands, -with a pair of these droppers, and a double 
corn marker and drag, can mark out, drop and cover 15 
acres a day ; and it will be done much better than it can with 
any of the combined double rowed corn planters that have 
ever been invented. The corn will be straight both ways.
