Improved Corn-Planter.

One of the most ingenious, and, as
we believe, valuable inventions of
the day to the Agricultural commu-
nifty, is an improved Corn Planter,
patented by Mr.. w. Beall,a native of
Berkeley county, and now on exhibit
ton at the Fair Grounds. We make
no pretensions to being a judge of
machinery, but an examination of
his corn-planter impressed us at once
with the idea that it is an invaluable
invention to the farmer, and being
the product of Berkeley county's
skill and genius, we take pleasure in
calling attention to it. Mr.. Beall,
the patentee, is quite young man,
and deserves much credit for skill in
producing such an invention.
This planter claims to plant corn
checkered without being previously
marked off. This is accomplished by
the combinations Of numerator and
dropping apparatus. The numerator
consists of dial plate and index, to
indicate the number of hills across
each end; parallel burrows may be
drawn forming an oblong square.
The burrows serve as starting points
for the machine.
The machine being placed with its
wheels in these burrows, and being
set to a certain gauge, thrown into
gear, drops the corn at certain inter-
walls across the field. The machine
is so constructed that the wheels
serve to make guide marks for the
driver; thus obviating the use Of
poles. This machine is made to drop
the corn at different distances. A
fertilizer is attached to the corn
dropper, by means of which ashes or
other light materials may be dropped
with the corn. We advise every
farmer in the county to make an ex-
animation of it..
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1875-09-11
important to Fruit Growers,

We call attention to the advertise
ment of A. j. Reynolds & Co., pro-
prietors of the Reynolds Rotary
Fruit Evaporation" which is one of
the many novelties at the Fair.
This machine is in large and sue
cessful operation at Washington city
and elsewhere.
Our friend and correspondent, DR..
j. E. Snodgrass, has seen it work,
and writes favorably of it. We find
in the Washington Daily Tribune the
following statement contirmatory of
what DIR. Snodgrass writes concern
ing this important invention:
1.-THE quantity of coal used, and
limited power required to operate our
s by Is foot evaporation. and the quail
ity and quantity of the evaporated
fruits produced is truly remarkable.
A boy Ii years of age circulates with
ease the great wheel, with $500 feet
of drying surface ladened with fruit,
while common $40 furnace produces
an abundance of heat to cure apples
in one hour and thirty minutes, and
peaches in less than two hours, re-
tanning the finest color and flavor in
every case that we have been able to
find within aten years business, with
fine American and foreign fruits in
three of the large markets in this
city"
