TO FARMERS AMD GARDENERS! 
• SEYMOUR’S GRAIN DRILL. 
fpiIIS DRILL, which was patented in Septem- 
1 '® nne of the latest improvements in 
Drilling Machines, and better adapted to the wants 
of the farmer than any other now before the public. 
^ It SOWS or plants all kinds of grain and seeds, from 
peas, beans, corn and cotton, to the smallest seeds— 
and combines the advantages of sowing either broad 
cast or in drills. It is an excellent Broad Cast Sow- 
ing Machine, when the drill teeth and conducting 
tubes, (which are very conveniently detached,) are 
taken off. j ,> 
Many fanners soak their wheat in brine or otlier 
l^uid, (in which the good seed sinks while t^e foul 
floats off,) for the double purpose of separating it 
from foul seed and rolling it in lime, plaster or otlier 
fertilizing substances. 'I his has the advantage over 
other drills, inosmuch as it performs well in sowing 
gram thus prepared, while they utterly fail in the at¬ 
tempt. Wet wheat, oats or white caps, which so 
readily clog (other machines, are not serious obsta¬ 
cles in this. Those who wish to soak their seed for 
any purpose whatever, or mix with it any fine fer¬ 
tilizers, such as lime, plaster, bone dust, (Sec.,—and 
also those who prefer thrashing with a flail, to avoid 
the injury done to tho seed by thrashing with a 
machine —will find THIS THE DRILL P'OR 
THEM. 
When drilling with this machine, the grain falls 
from the grain-box to the tubes, (a space of six 
inches,) in full view of the person attending it— 
so that, in passing over the field, he may be con¬ 
stantly assured that the seed is deposited lus he de¬ 
signs. The teeth are all raised from the ground at 
once, with one lever, nnd the seed all stooped at 1 
once; or one may be raised at a time, and the .seed 
it discliarges stopped. 
'The convenience and simplicity with which this 
machine is managed is unparalleled. No necessary 
expense or pains have been spared in making it as 
desirable, in all respects, as possible, and after many, 
and the most satisfactory experiments — not in the 
winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
in seeding time, with the farmer, under various cir¬ 
cumstances, on rough and smooth, hilly and level, 
stony and clear land — the inventor (who was bred 
a practical firmer, and ought to know something of 
the farmer’s wants,) feels assured that the machine 
is not only established on correct principles, but is 
got up in that simple and permanent style and good 
taste which cannot fail to suit all. 
The first premium, for a Grain Drill capable of de¬ 
positing fine manures with the grain, was awarded 
to this Machine at the Fair of the New York State 
Agricultural Society, held at Syracuse in Sept., 
18‘49. It also received the first premium at the 
Michigan State Fair, in 1849, and the first premium 
of the Ontario County Society, 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
A few certificates, from the most reliable sources, 
are subjoined:— 
Mr. Seymour — Sir: With the Grain Drill which 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 50 acres of wheat for 
me, and with some of it about a bushel and a half 
per acre of ashes and hen dung was mixed, and all 
to my entire satisfaction- He has also drilled in 
about 100 acres for others, and I believe all are well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. IRA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seymour —Dear Sir: Y'oii ask for my 
opinion with regard to the Wheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. Without specifying particulars, I 
would express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that of any other which I have seen in use. I am 
somewhat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. I would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with great respect, yours, Ac., 
Gates, Sept. 10, 1849. CALVIN SPERRY. 
This may certify, that I have used Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and I consider it just the 
thing for putting in wheat. WM. OTIS. 
Rochester, Sept. 7, 1849. 
1 have examined certian certificates in the hands 
of Mr. Seymour, in favor of his Grain Drill, one of 
them from Ira R. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peck. His statement can be fully re¬ 
lied on. The other certificates, I have no doubt, 
are from equally reliable sources. I have myself 
heard the Drill spoken of in high terms of commen¬ 
dation, by farmers who had used it; and have also 
seen it in operation, nnd believe it to be at least one 
of the very best in use. I was present at the State 
hair, in September last, where the first premium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. Sey¬ 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. ISAAC W. iMITCHELL. 
Justice of the Peace, 
East Bloomfield, Feb. 5, 1850. 
SEYMOUR’S GARDEN DRILL 
Is a small Machine of suitable size to be drawn by 
a man. It is got up on the principles of the Grain 
Drill, and will plant peas, beans, beets, and even 
carrots, or any kind of garden seeds, mixed with 
plaster, See. It is very convenient for large gar¬ 
deners, as it will sow fiv'c rows at once as readily as 
the Garden Drills in common use will sow one, and 
is much less liable to clog. 
Seymour’s broad cast sowing machine. 
This machine is well known in Western New- 
Y'ork, and is universally acknowledged to be the 
best implemetU in our country, for the purposes for 
which it is intended. It sows correctly', all kinds 
of Grain, (and nay desired quantity per acre,) from 
peas to grass seed — including wheat, rye, oats, bar¬ 
ley, buckwheat, rice, hemp, flax, clover and tim¬ 
othy seed. Also pla.ster, lime, salt, ashes, bone 
dust, Ac. Ac. It is capable of dusting every inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less than half a 
bushel of plaster; and thirty or forty bushels of 
lime may be thus evenly applied to the .same amount 
of land, if desired. It sows 10 feet wide. 
This rnachine has been much improved by sub¬ 
stituting iron in several important parts in the place 
of wood, making it a very durable article. It has 
taken the first premium at live County and two State 
Agricultural Fairs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
The following certificates show' the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine: 
We, the undersigned, being well acquainted with 
Seymour’s Broad-cast Sowing Machine, do say it is 
vyell adapted to all the purposes for which it is de¬ 
signed, and it far exceeds all others of which we 
have any knowledge. 
DAVID C. BATES, Canandaigua, 
SAMUEL 11. ANDREWS, do. 
RUFUS HUMPHREY, Victor. 
DAVID CLARK, Seneca. 
This may esertify, that I have used Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine, in sowing oats, barley, jieas, 
clover and herds grass seed, and it operates to my 
utmost satisfaction. I sowed 30 bushels of oats, 8 
bushels of pens, nnd 20 bushels of barley in one 
day, nnd 1 think 30 acres a reasonable day’s W'ork. 
J. H. GLASS, Avon, Liv. Co. | 
Mr. iSeymowr—Dear Sir: The Sowing Machine 
I purchased of you in September last, fully answ'ers 
the recommendations, and I think it among the best 
farming impli'ments of w hich oureountry can boast. 
J. IIOJ.LOAVAY, N ork, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —It gives me pleasure to stale tlmt 
I have used your Sowing Machine with much suc¬ 
cess. JABEZ GODDARD, York, Liv. Co. 
I have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour’s 
Sovying M.ichine for sowing grain and plaster. For 
sowing grain it is excellent on account of sowing so 
much more evenly than can be sow'ed by hand. In 
sow'ing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sav- 
ing labor as well as avoiding the very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.
