farewell-abd have done it with your LONDON PURPLE. We put in about three-fourths to- one pound of LONDON 
PURPLE to 44 gallons of water, and applied with a force pump. It is better than Paris Green, as the particles of LONDON 
PURPLE- adhere to ihe leaves and Paris Green does not.” 
THE MONITOR SEED DRILL. 
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.

HAWORTH’S WIRE CHECK ROWER. 
Acknowledged by all farmers to be THE BEST AND ONLY PERFECTLY SUCCESSFUL Wire Check Rower. 
Will plant FIVE ACRES more a day than any other, as the Wire is not removed from the machine in planting the entire 
field. Eleven years’ use has demonstrated the fact that the^ only successful wayto useji rope or wirejlln^ is for the_ 
chine to transfer it into 
machine, as it will last U 
strnctions met as the planter crosses* uie uem, auu wmeu c<*uoe» inuiwu, luaucuiaDo GUGGB.m S , -. 
wire. In our Check Rower the elasticity of the wire and its large curve in passing over the machine, prevents a particle 
of bending or displacement in the wire, such as occurs in Check Rowers where the line is dragged into the pulley at 
an angle and high tension, and both bent and displaced as it enters the pulley. Dragging the line into position also 
causes canting, or lopping, of the planter, by which one row is planted too deep and the other too shallow. Our ROFL 
CHECK ROWERS are too well and favorably known to call for any extended notice. For full description of pur 
WIRE CHECK ROWER and the three Btyles of ROPE CHECK ROWERS which we manufacture, write for a circular.

hands from the handles. 
(Light to draw, firm, strong, 
ana durable. Constructed of 
Patent Hard Metal, which is 
as strong and will scour equal to steel. We also make it of

The Best Thresher on Wheels. 
It is not a Vibrator, neither is it an Apron Machine. It is 
wonderfully simple m its arrangement. It is admirably 
— -’ .rating <—“ 
perfect in its threshing and separs 
(qualities. It saves all 
agt . Pi _ 
the grain, and cleans it ready for market. It runs easily, is 
constructed durably, is finished beautifully, is the most 
economical, least expensive, and altogether the most satis¬ 
factory machine in tne market. 
It will handle wet grain as well as dry. In threshing Flax 
and Timothy it has no equal, threshing and cleaning both as 
well, and nearly as rapidly as Wheat, and requires no change 
except the sieves. It has more square feet or separating and 
cleaning surface than any other machine made, and cannot 
be overloaded. It is both over and under blast at the same 
time. 
Our Clover Hulling attachmentiBanewand very desirable 
feature. It does the business more rapidly and better than 
an exclusively Hulling Machine. 
Separators of the various sizes fitted for steam or horse¬ 
power, as desired. 
An improved Pitt's power, an improved Woodbury power, 
and the Elward equalizing power, all mounted on four 
wheels, are manufactured by us, add are not surpassed by 
any in the market. 
We are also prepared to furnish first class Portable En¬ 
gines with our Separators.
