This Machine plows the ground, 
seeds the grain, and rolls the sur- 
face smoothly for the Harvester, all 
at one operation, and in its use we 
claim the saving in labor of five 
hands and horses over the old sys- 
tem, (and as certificates of many 
Fanners will show), of at least one- 
third of the grain seeded per acre, 
and that grain seeded by this Ma- 
chine is not liable to be affected by 
the winter frosts, but grows con- 
tinuously through the same. One 
field-hand can plow, seed, and roll, 
from six to eight acres per day. 
"Wheat seeded last Fall, in Logan 
County, Kentucky, by the "STAR 
DIULL," was examined by fifteen 
or twenty Farmers, on the 2M of 
April, of the present year, who 
stated, in certificates given by them, 
(and which are embodied in the 
Ipr; Patentee's circular), "that it then 
== stood twenty to twenty-four inches 
in hight, and full set, promising a 
heavy yield, with but one bushel 
sown to the acre, while in the same 
and adjoining fields, wheat sown at 
the same time, in the old way, with 
one and a half bushels to the acre, 
did not promise much move than 
half the yield, having been affected by the hard winter, and was but eight to ten inches high, "which was the average of all sown in any other manner than by tins _ Machine." Very 
recent certificates have been received from some of the same Farmers, stating that they saw the wheat threshed and measured in June, and that that seeded bj tue btai ui ill, 3 leiaea 
an average of twenty-nine and a half bushels per acre, which was more than double the yield seeded in the ordinary way, in adjoining fields. These are facts. Ihis Machine seccib an kinas 
of small grain, and the different grass seeds, with perfect regularity. As a Com Planter or Drill, for Sorghum, Peas, Beans, &c, it can not be surpassed. Its construction is very simple, ana 
the material of which it is made, the very best, in every particular. Any laborer who can plow or drive a wagon can work it with ease. The saving of labor and cconomj in the vai ions 
uses for which it is adapted, must make it invaluable to the Farmer. All that is asked is a fair trial. Send for Circulars. Price for each Machine complete, $1 .0. All orders P™"vp t 3 .at-
