No. 06.— Allea’s Planet Jr. Com¬ 
bined Drill and Wheel Hoe.— [Sec engraving, 
next column, of the *• Planet Junior Hand Seed Drill and 
Wheel Hoe.’’] This popular hand implement for sowing 
and hoeing drilled crops,has been greatly improved 
for 1878 ; having opening Plow, Spout, Roller, Carrier, 
and Suhsoilers of entirely new, and of greatly superior 
patterns. The remaining parts of the machine are also 
now subjected to close scrutiny in manufacture and test¬ 
ing. the makers being determined to leave nothing un¬ 
done that will improve this favorite tool. The Cylindrical 
Brass Seed Hopper revolves with the carrying wheels, pre¬ 
venting all packing and clogging so usual in upright 
exactly on top of the seed. It sows all Garden and small 
Nursery seeds, also shows the seed as it drops, never in¬ 
jures it, never clogs, drops evenly, covers with perfect reg¬ 
ularity, rolls down light or heavy, marks the next row, 
(superior new style marker), and turns at the ends on the 
roller, without pausing or sowing. THE COMBINED 
MACHINE holds one quart. Both sizes work with the 
smallest amount of seed, and can be made to drop in 
hills at different distances. The Combined Machine be¬ 
comes a Wheel noc by removing one bolt. It has two pairs 
of tempered steel hoes, one for delicate work close to the 
plants, leaving the ground level; the other for throwing 
heavy furrows to or from the row, and for covering Corn, 
Peas, Beans, Potatoes, etc. It also has a pair of subsoilers 
for deep stirring, and a shovel plow for thorough cultiva¬ 
tion, andfor opening drills for Peas.Beans.Corn, Potatoes, 
etc. At the first tending, the machine works beautifully 
as a Double Wheel Hoe, afterwards between the rows. With 
this size, Onion-growers can sow their crop any depth, 
width, or thickness, and also do all the hoeing with sur¬ 
prising.ease, rapidity, and perfection. Manufactured by 
S. L. Allen & Co., No. 119 South 4th St., Philadelphia.

No. 67.—aSreecls-l«a«liMfsr Pocket 
Rifle.— (See Engraving.)— This remarkable little fire 
arm weighs only eleven ounces, yet shoots with great 
accuracy and power from 30 to 100 yards, or more, and 
can be loaded and fired five times a minute. It can bo 
carried inside the vest, and is accompanied by an ex¬ 
tension breech, so that it may be used either as a pistol 
or like a rifle. Is in a neat mahogany case, with 250 
rounds of ammunition. The manufacturers are Messrs. 
J. Stevens & Co., Chicopee Falls, Mass., and the rifles 
are sold at retail by Mr. Edwin S. Harris, No. 177 
Broadway. Only 24 subscribers, at $1.00 each, required 
to get it free. Without the mahogany case, we will

year, and they gave such high and general satisfaction, 
that we offer them again. This is one of the finest guns 
ever offered the American Sportsman, combining all the 
most desirable features of the best imported, together 
with some valuable improvements' not found in any 
other. As an effective gun this is just as good as many 
of those imported at a cost of $150 to $200, or more. 
No better Shooting Gun can be obtained anywhere, at 
any pi-ice, however high. With the loaded shells in 
the pocket, one can load and fire the gun several 
times a minute. On seeing a hawk approaching, we 
have slipped out a charge of small bird shot, put in a 
load of larger shot, and brought down the hawk. It is 
equivalent to carrying several guns, loaded with various 
charges of ammunition for different game. This valu¬ 
able fire arm has steel barrels, using paper or brass car¬ 
tridges that can be re-loaded many times, 2 dozen of 
which, and reloader (costing $4) and 500 primers or caps, 
(costing $1), are given with the gun. Price $50. Manu¬ 
factured by E. Remington & Sons, 281 and 283 Broad¬ 
way, New York. P. O. Box 3,994. Armory at Ilion, N. Y.

quality. We will present one of these guns to any per¬

express or otherwise.] Receiver to pay express charges.

No. 71, 72, 7it. Long Msjcsg'e Cneed- 
moor Rifles at Greatly Reduced Prices. 
_The Remington Rifles are used by most of the success¬ 
ful competitors at the International, State, and other 
rifle contests.and are a great desideratum for shooting one- 
third to five-eights of a mile or more, at game or other 
w jse.—The Remingtons now make, them at three prices, 
viz., No. 1, $100, No. 2, $85, and No. 3, $60. The bands, 
locks, etc., all of the same quality, and 
shooting equally wdl — the differences 
being in the stocks and extra finish. 
All three have venier sight, wind-gauge, 
and spirit levd. No. 1 lias a *■ pistol 
grip” stock ; No. 2 is without pistol 
hoppers, especially with rough, chaffy, or soaked seeds ; 
the holes can he minutely adjusted all at once, not con¬ 
fining you to unsuitable sizes, and each is covered by a 
patent shield or cup which discharges only after reach¬ 
ing the bottom, insuring regular dropping. The Plow 
works between the carrying wheels, opening just at the 
depth set, avoiding the tiresome watch or skilled labor 
usually necessary, and depositing the seed in a straight 
narroiv line, an important advantage in cultivation. The 
covering is done as shown in the cut, the plow throwing 
the earth upon the wheels, which continually return it 
Ilion, N. Y., and 283 Broadway, N. Y. City. The Reming¬ 
ton’s are natural mechanics, and supervise their own 
work ; they employ the most skillful workmen, and turn 
out the best work that human skill can produce. Several 
millions of their weapons are in use. Any one desiring 
a fuller description, can obtain a free descriptive manual 
by sending to E. Remington & Sons, 283 Broadway, N. Y.
