Farmers Awake to your Interest,
GATLING
PATENT GRAIN DRILL.

THIS machine took the premium diploma and
L silver medal at the great Ohio State Fair.
held at Cincinnati on the I'd. Sd and 4th days
of October last As to simplicity and effect it
has no equal. The machine is free from every
possible objection, and is Just such one as the
farmers have long needed. By once passing
over the land it harrows the ground, sows the
seed with the most exact regularity and prccis-
ion, and covers all the seed good and proper
depth, thereby saving time and labor. In Eng
land and many other countries drilling has SUI
perscded the broad cast mode Of planting. In
many sections Of the United States, especially
in Pennsylvania. Delaware, New Jersey, New
York, and Ohio, the drill system is fast gaining
ground aud will soon be universally adopted.
IL has become fixed fact, as the certificates
will show, that the above mode Of planting grain
will increase the yield from FIVE to ten bushels
per acre.
For further information apply to the subscri-
Der, who has the right for the State Of Iowa.
and who has innumerable certificates from
some Of the best farmers in the states.
