FOR SOWING GRASS SEEDS.
The Willoughby Drill has been greatly
improved for this year. Farmers in want
of a FirSt-class Drill should see Il before
buying any of the other Drills offered by
Agents.
Ii has two gum feeders, working in such
amanncr that it will not choke, break the
grains, nor feed in al irregular manner.
1t has gum springs that allow II 10 sow
over al distractions, without stopping or
breaking, putting in the grains close up TO
the obstruction.
Seed, and all kinds of Fertilizers.
1t can be thrown in and out of gear with
ont stopping the team.
1t can be regulated in an instant 10 SOW
n greater or less quantity, even whilst the
Drill is in motion.
Ii sows up hill, down hill, or side hill,
with the same regularltyand precision.
Ii has a surveyor, which show exactly
the amount sown. When the Drill has
the hose hoistcd, the surveyor does not
turn.
The Drill has been greatly improved in
the past few years, and the many hundred
farmers who have bought and used the
Drill say it is PERFECT.
Among the different styles male TO suit
all counties, the Manufacturers arc built-
ing this year in addition TO their regular
Drill one with shafts like cart, SO that
three horses may be worked abrcast-thus
suiting farmers having sandy and yield
ing soil, or very hilly ground. The

want of Il Drill to call aud satisfy them
selves on this point.
CORRUGATED RUBBER ROLLERS
which form forced feed ,unqualed by aay
in use, and which has now stood the test
of years.
The corrugation of these rollers has been

by means of a slide and regulators the How

There can be- no choking for the reason
that il is positive force feed, and all the
white caps, straws, or any foreign sub
stance that should chance 10 be In the
wheat, is fed through without stoppage.
IN this way the ''skips," which are 40
frequent in fields ofdrillcd wheat, are en-
tirely avoided, and there will be found n

that, too, without the necessity OF being
constantly watched to see If the feeding Is
all right.
THE GUANO ATTACHMENT,
patented by j. Il. Crowell, which IL con-.
ceded by practical farmers to be the best
yet introduced to their notice.
The great difficulty encountered In SOW
ing some kinds of guano IL, that the agita-
ton of the mass In the hoppers renders IL
sticky, and 10 will not, In consequence
feed downward.
By the use of Crowell's Guano Attach
ment this is overcome, and as experience
has proven.
ALL KINDS OF FERTILIZERS
in use can be sown, without even mixing
with any substance 10 render II less sticky.
Its simplicity is ono Of its great points.
THE GRASS SEED SOwER

light wooden slide, with indentatIons cut
transversely, agitates the seed which
should be clean to SOW with regularity.
The grass seeder can also be attached.

ordered can be left OF entirely, In which
latter case there Ba deduction or i've dol

THE SURVEYOR
measures correctly the number OF acres
sown, or parts Of an acre down TO SIX
teenths. In making the turns at the ends.
Of the field, the holster puts the working
parts out Of gear, and IN consequence the.
surveyor does not move In the least, and
can, therefore, be relied upon to measure
correctly.
ZIGZAG ARRANGEMENT.
The Zigzag Arrangement, has recently
been adopted, will be put OIL only where
specially ordered, for which five dollars
will be charged In addition 10 the regular
price.
The change can DC made from n zigzar
TO straight line; or vice versa, IN 4 mo-
ment, without even hosting the shoyeIs. .
without removing bolt. II IL simplein
its construction, and will not easily get
out OF repair. ~
The entire machine r. so well balanced
that the horses necks do not become gall
ed. Thisis accomplished by the manner
In which the hopperis set upon the frame.
