Fairchild’s Patent Corn and 
Pumpkin Seed Planter. 
This machine is a perfect success, and 
should not be judged hy others, that have 
failed to give satisfaction. It plants corn 
and pumpkin seed, both at the same time 
I'A, if desired, or either separately, and will 
also plant beans, doing its work evenly 
as though by hand, and leaving the seed 
covered. It can be altered to plant 
more, or less seed in a hill, as may bede- 
sired, and will do tlie work of three or 
lA four men. Being made of Iron and Steel, 
'h it is very durable, and will work in 
stony soil witliout receiving injury. It 
^5 -n'iH not clog, or get out of order, and is 
Bee from the objections of other ma¬ 
chines, of which any one will be satis¬ 
fied on examination. No farmer can 
afl'ord to do withont it; as it saves three- 
fourths the labor of planting; and the 
use of it for one season will more than repay its cost. It 
weighs S'A pounds, and costs but .$8, if purchased directly of 
the makers, PORTER, BELONG & CO., Binghamton, N. T.,
