Onondaga Chief. The above machines all possess much merit, 
but the degree of perfection which one has over another is left 
to the appreciative judgment cf the public. 
Brills and Broadcast Seeders .—The list in this department is 
large, and it cannot be expected that more than a passing no¬

of which rank high in the claims of farm interest.
