PENNOCK'S
IMPROVED wheat & GTAIO DRILL

CUAN0 is scarce and dear, and you can
" make one-half produce your full crop by
using PENNOCkS WHEAT AND GUAN0
DRILL. There is no humbug in this. Scores
of our best and most reliable farmers will GER
tify to it.
Where it is preferred to put in the full guam
tity, it may be done with entire safety, and the
crop will be proportionably heavier. There is
economy also in the seed-li bushels to the
acre being sufficient when drilled in. The
guage is complete and reliable for both Wheat
and Guano-any desired quantity of grain
being sown, and any quantity Of Guano from
20 TO 800 lbs. to the acre.
This Drill is greatly improved since last
year, India Rubber tubes being used in place OF
leather the Guano slide is much heavier, and
its working reliable and the scraping spade SC
secured as to ensure clean working without IL
ability to pack the Guano. It's now altogeth-
er a complete and perfect working machine,
and farmers will consult their true interest in
using it for putting in their wheat crop.
