Matthews* Garden Seed Drill.—This drill is designed to 
be used in field or gatden. When in operation, it opens the fur- 
jow, diops the seed accurately at the desired depth, covers it and 
lightly rolls it, and at the same tune marks the next row, all of 
which is done, with mechanical precision by simply propelling 
the drill forward. In this way it sows, with an evenness and 
rapidity impossible for the must skilful hand to do. all the differ¬ 
ent varieties of Beit , Carrot, Onion Turnip, Parsnip, Sage, 
Spinach y Sorghunt , Peas Beans . />> coin Corn, Fodder Corn.ett 
The agitator stirs the seed in the hopper thoroughly by a 
positive motion, which insures continuous and uniform delivery, 
and the bottom of the hopper«is made sufficiently dishing to sow 
the smallest quantity of seed. When desired, the movement of 
the agitator cm be checked, and the drill may then be propelled 
forward or backward without dropping seed. A simple contriv¬ 
ance accurately gauges the uniform deposit of the seed to any 
required depth , thus avoiding the risk of planting at irregular 
depths, or so deep in places as to destroy the seed. The matk- 
ers arc made adjustable for the purpose of marking the rows at any desired distance apart, and they mark them 
distinctly whether the ground is even or uneven. Another great advantage which it possesses over any other 
machine is that it is the only drill which has an indicator with the names of different seeds thereon. This 
indicator is devised to simplify the adjustment for sowing different varieties of seeds. It is securely attached to 
the side of the hopper, in plain sight, and is made use of for changing from ^~wing one kind of seed to another by 
simply turning it until the name of the seed to be planted comes up to the indicator-pin, which revolves the dial, 
attached to the bottom of the hopper, until the right sized hole in it for planting that seed comes directly into place. 
This ingenious invention is a great improvement over any other method in use, and is wonderfully convenient, be¬ 
sides being entirely reliable.
