Willoughby Gum Spring Drill
is not Equalled by any in Use
FOR SOWING GRAIN
FOR SOWING FERTILIZERS
FOR SOWING GRASS SEEDS.

The Willoughby Drill has been greatly
improved for this year. Farmers In want
of First-class Drill should see IL before
buying any Of the other Drills offered by
Agents.
1t has two gum feeders, working In such
manner that 10 will not choke, break the
grains, nor feed in an irregular manner.
1t has gum springs that allow it to SOW
over all distractions, without stopping or
breaking, putting in the grains close up TO
the obstruction.
1t sows readily Wheat Rye, Oats, Grass
Seed, and allskinds of Fertilizers.
1t can be thrown I'm and out of gear with
ont stopping the team.
lt can be regulated in an instant to 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 regularityand precision.
1t has Il surveyor, which show exactly
the amount sown. When the Drill has
the hose lOisted, 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 IL is PERFECT.
Among the different styles male TO suit
all counties, the Manufacturers are build
ing this year in addition to their regular
Drill one with shafts like n cart, so that
three horses may be worked abreast-thus
suiting farmers having sandy and yield
ing soil, or very billy ground. The

selves oil this point.
CORRUGATED RUBBER ROLLERS
which form a forced feed ,unqualed by any
in use, and which has now stood the test
Of years.
The corrugati0n Of these rollers has been
an Improvement over the first built, and
by means Of a slide and regulators the flow
OF seed Is constant and regular.
There can be no choking for the reason
that 1t is positive force feed, and all the
white caps" straws, or any foreign sub
stance that should chance to be I'm the
wheat, Is fed through without stoppagc.
In this way the "skips," which are 40
frequent In fields of drilled wheat, are en-
tircly avoided, and there will he found a
regularity in the grain over the field, aud
that, too, without the necessity of being
constantly watched to see IL the feeding Is
all right.
THE GUANO ATTACHMENT,
patented by j. b. CrowelI, which Is con-
coded by practical farmers 10 be the beat
yet introduced to their notice.
The great difficulty encountered I'm SOW
ing some kinds Of guano Is, that the agita-
ton OF the mass In the hoppers renders it
sticky, and 1t will not, In consequence,
feed downward
By the use of Crowell's Guano Attach
ment THIS is overcome, and rs experience
has proven.
ALL KINDS OF FERTILIZERS
In use can be sown, without even mixing
with any substance to render itlcss sticky.
lts simplicity Is ono OF Its great points.
THE GRASS SEED SOwER
Is attached to the rear of the hopper, and
has zinc bottom, which Is perforated
for the grass seed 10 pass through. A
light wooden slide, with indcntations cur

The grass seeder can also be attached.

THE SURVEYOR
measures correctly the number OF acres
sown, or parts OF an acre down 60 six-
teenths. In making the turns ut the ends
ofthe field, the holster puts the working
parts out Of gear, and Ia 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 on only where
specially ordered, for which five dollars

price.
