Thos. b. McConaughey's
PATENT CORN DROPPER.

THIS Dropper will positively save
l. one-half the time over the old way
of dropping corn.
1t will drop right in the cross.
1t can be set TO average any number
of grains desired to a hill.
1t can be regulated to scatter the
corn more or less in the hill, or drop
it all in a close bunch if desired. In
windy weather this Dropper is just the
thing needed, as the corn cannot be
blown about while dropping.
All who have used these Droppers
agree in the opinion that the corn
comes up more regularly after them,
and there is less re-planting to do, be-
cause they drop a more regular number
of grains to hill, and every grain is
sure to be in the cross, where they are
covered alike.
Every Dropper will be warranted to
do all that is herein claimed for them,
or they will be taken back and the
money refunded.
