A REVOLUTION IN FARMING

substitute for the slow and tedious process Of plant
ing corn has long been desdeatum but until noo the
aborcd efforts Of inventive genius has failed in its pro-
ducton though years and much money have been spent
I to accomplish great piece OF mechanism
Some estimate OF the importance Of an invention that
will materially facilitate the production OF this great
staple may be formed from the fact that in 1856
6WVlOO00 bushels were raised IN the United States eN
eoedng value all other grains, with he entire cotton
crop In addition.
The present universal method Of planting this great
crop is after the ground is ploughed) by marking out the
surface - feet apart each way, and in the angles
thus formed O. drops 4 or kernels and with
hoe aran expense Of 81 20 81 25 per but failure
of part and sometimes the whole crop results from the
difficulty Of obtaining sufficient force the proper time
n the spring 70 secure the planting at the most critical
Prloiiral men understand this erery,oheye Numer-
devices aud machines have been made, but failure
has only resulted plan perfect in respect was
certain to fail in another, so as TO render the whole
worthless.
No machine until has been made to meet the uui-
vesa demand Of the farming interests in HILL, check
angular planting to enable him 10 cultivate with
plough and horseshoe the crophoth ways between the
rows
Dril planting Is abandoned because Of the impossible
ity Of cultiyatiug but in one direction.
The long wished for machine has been invented and
perfected by young Scochman, and is the result Of
three years unwcaricd efforts patient investigation and
the application Of scientific and mechanical principles to
accomplish desired object
The device entirely new simple and beautiful work
ing automicay and yet so ingenously and naturally as
almost appear the result Of instinct,
What Whitney, great invention did for cotton this
greater invention viii do for corn viz: augment the
quantity and diminish cost.
No description could convey clear idea Of its pecu-
liar and simple mechanism.

And ALL this at a cost OF Is am acre by single

We aware these statements look iancful to that
large, stereotype old ogy class, who about quarter
of century In the Of this progressive age, and
whose ideas reyoye in the old, slow coach train but
all such anuquntcd gentlemen that every word is
hfrd naked unndutcrated truth, Obvious clear and dis
tinc TO the most obuse intellect or the duest compre-
hcnson besides being demonstrated by actual use on an
I extensive scale
Here is a magnificent Monopoly of great staple Ma
chime Of immenoe intrinsic value. Ii must reach the
large productive class whose interests not aioHc pro-
NOTED in It's acquisition, but in it, application the mill
ions be best in the increased production Of grain
! and consequently cheap bread.
In the distribution Of this splendid prize (such real
~ 81 there is chance for SAFE investment, lu
cratye beyond all ordinary calculations; ia short the
truth in this connection seems almost fabulous
able basis, and offer the monopoly Of this magnificent
speculation for States and Territories upon the following
! terms, from which = THERE WILL DEyIA-
l TION.-fn
All New England and Southern States fee cents per
farm. All other territory six cents per farm-except
Illinois, which will be Ten cents per farm Minnesota,
$1,000 Kansas aud Nebraska, $50 California $500.
New York State will be sold in Counties suit parties
who wish TO invest ia limited The Of the
United States Of 1850 will be the basis OF estimate
Terms Of payment liberal and accommodating and TO
company who wish 10 take the entire interest will sell
at fair figure. We invite the public examine this
subject, and we will exhibit the machine with pleasure,
but especially those who take interest In the mate
rial progress Of this inventive age well those
who cannot fail TO find this available medium Of
plenshng their exhausted pockets augmenting their
already ample
7. S.-We have made provision for the supply Of all
orders, for machines at SlS each with fertilizer SIG
without-rctail "a of wholesalc) until the Territory
from which such orders IS sold and when trans
ferred will make equitable discount In price Of terrific
