The Monitor Seed Dri 
This is the most complete and positive Seed Drill ever invented. It is radically different 
from and superior to all others. It is the only machine which measures and drops the 
seed with a positive motion, and exactly the same amount at each foot or yard. It has 
been tested by 5 years’use in Massachusetts, and was awarded the highest prize at the 
“ Centennial.” The “ Monitor " has been thoroughly tested during the season oi 1878, 
and heartily endorsed as a First Class Machine by Professor Geo. Thurber, of 
New Jersey, and by Jas Vick, oi Rochester, N. V
