VI make one-half produce your full crop by
using PENNOCKS WHEAT AND GUANO
DRILL. There is no humbug in this Scores
of our hest and most reliable farmers viii 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--l4 bushels TO tlc
acre being sufficient when drilled in. The
guage is complete and reliable for both Wheat
and Guano--any desired quantity Of grain
being sewn, and any quantity Of Guano from
% TO 800 lbs. to the acre.
This Drill is greatly improved since last
year, India Rubber tubes being used in place Of
leather; the Gnano slide is much heavier, and
its working reliable and the eeraping spade SC
secured as to ensure clean working without IL
ability to pack the Guano. It's now altogeth-
er complete and perfect working machine,
and farmers will consult their true interest in
