substitute for the slow AMI tedious process of plant
Ing corn has long been de3ideratum; but until n0g the
abored efforts of inventive genius has failed in its pro-
ductOn though years and uch money have been spent
to accomplish so great piece of mechanism,
Some estimate of the importance Of an invention that
will materially facilitate the pro 'uction of this great sta
pie may be formed from the fact that in 1866 $780,
600 600 blshels raised in the United States exceed
ing in value all other grans with the entire cotton crop
In addi ion.

What Whitney's great invention did for cotton, this
greater invention will do for corn viz: augment the guam

No description could convey clear idea Of its peculiar
and simple mechanism.
Without any Goes, BANDS, PULLIEs CRANKs, SHAFTS,

Here is magnificent Monopoly of a great staple Ma

In the distribution Of this splendid price such treaty

beyond alordinay calculations; in short the truth in this
connection seems almost fabulous.
