WONDERFUL RAPIDITY. 
Perfectly ISegralstr and 
EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF THE SEED. 
CAHOON’S PATENT 
BROADCAST SEED SOWER, 
FOR SOWING Alii. KINDS OF GRAIN 
AND GRASS SEED. 
This machine has been in use in a few localities for the 
past ten years, and has prosed itself by long trial to he an 
invaluable implement. The proprietor of the Patent, hav¬ 
ing been largely engaged in another branch of business, 
neglected to bring it into public notice. 
The subscribers having long known it to be an Efficient and 
very much needed machine by agriculturists everywhere, 
have recently bought, at large expense, the entire right of 
manufacture and sale of it, throughout the United States, 
and are now prepared to supply the trade. 
The greatest value of this implement consists in the fact 
that it distributes the grain evenly in the most perfect man¬ 
ner, thus Insuring a larger crop than can be obtained from 
any other mode of seeding. 
'Its operation is so simple that anybody can readily use it. 
The Hand Machine sows from G to 8 acres of wheat per 
hour, and the Bower Machines from 15 to 20. It sows 
WHEAT, RYE, BARLEY, HEMP, OATS, 
CLOVER, and HERDS GRASS or TIMOTHY 
SEED perfectly, and is invaluable for sowing Guano, 
Superphosphate, or any dry Fertilizer. 
We want every farmer in this country to bny one of these 
machines. Buy them of the nearest dealer in Agricultural 
Implements, if you can, hut if you cannot, we will box and 
forward by express a Hand Machine on receipt of Ten Dol¬ 
lars, and a Power Machine on receipt of Sixty Dollars. We 
make a liberal discount to the trade. 
We could furnish hundreds of testimonials, hut have room 
only for the following: 
Portland, Maine, October 29tli, 1SG8. 
Messes. D. H. GOODELL & Co., of Antrim, N. H., have 
this day purchased of me the Sole Right to manufacture 
and sell “ CAHOON BROADCAST SEED SOWERS,”in the 
United States. They will soon he able to supply the largely 
increasing demand, and ail orders should be addressed as 
above. 
The validity of this patent has been fully established after 
one of the most exhaustive suits known to Patent Law, and 
fully believing any practical Seed Sower operating by cen¬ 
trifugal force to be an infringement, I caution the Public 
against buying or selling any other than the “Cahoon Ma¬ 
chine,” as all infringements will he Promptly Prosecuted.

San Francisco, Cal., 14th May, 1SG8. 
Gentlemen The “ Cahoon Broadcast Seed Sower," 
Hand and Power, are universally used in California, and give 
entire satisfaction. We sell no other, and no other could 
sell along side of them. They arc the very embodiment of 
utility. Yours Respectfully, 
TREADWELL & CO. 
Noea, Jo. Daviess County, Illinois, May 2nd, 1SGS. 
Gentlemen:— I have bceu using your Power Machine for 
the last nine years, and I can safely say, it Is the best and 
most durable Beoadcast Sowek that was evor brought be¬ 
fore the farming community. I would not be obliged to do 
without it for three times its cost. I have averaged sowing 
three hundred acres a year for the past nine years, and 
therefore think 1 am competent to judge of the Machine. I 
could not buy a Machine that would suit me as well, or do 
the amount of sowing that I have every year. To accom¬ 
modate my friends, I often go three or four miles away from 
home to sow grass seed, and I can sow it to perfection, no 
matter which way the wind blow's. I am confident I can 
heat any one sowing by hand. The agent told me when I 
bought the Machine if 1 could sow more evenly by hand lie 
would make mo a present of the machine, hut I never tried 
and do not care to. Very Truly Y'ours, 
B. H. KESSNER.
