The Monitor Adiustible Force Feed Broad
cast Seed-sOWer and Cultivator combined, has
become the most popular implement for SOW
ing all kinds of grain, viz Wheat. Rye, Oats,
Barley, Buckwheat, Com, etc, also Peas, Flax,
Hemp, Glover, Redtop, Orchard, Millet and
Hungarian grass seed. 1t sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at uniform depth, pro-
ducing more and better grain than any similar
implement made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machines, as cutivator
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
at one operation By removing the center cul-
tivator bar it does as thorough work as the best
independent cultivator made. In sections OF
the country where Flax is extensively grown
the Monitor has become truly famous.
1t embodies the following new features, which
places it far ahead Of all other makes.
lst. An adjustable Force Feed,
that cannot clog under any cir
cumstances.
2nd. A perfectly accurate Feed
Guage.
Sd. A wind proof scatterer;
hich will not permit the wind
to effect the scattering in the least.
4th. Patent ship tooth, which
will slip back when coming in con-
tact with an obstruction, thereby
preventing all danger of breaking
teeth or bars.
9Th. A combined Sand-proof
Hub and Axle that takes the en-
tire weight Of the machine, there
by relieving the gear axles from
any strain. This is very impor-
tant and decided Improvement in
seeding machines, as the gear shaft
in all other similar implements,
will in time be bent or worn
throwing the gear out of mash. 1t
is warranted to last.
9Th. No change of gear is re-
CURED to change the quantity
sOWn.
7th. A Grass Seed Attachment
Sth. A Land measure.
9th. Oil cups, covers, claps and
catches and many other little con-
veniences not found in other seed

Gulf to the British Possessions, as well as from

the numerous agents, some oil whom Sc a
high as $50 Of these machines in single c0un-
tv where they are used, principally, in sowing
Wheat, Oats, Peas, and Flax.
One of the strongest evidences of the Mont
tors superiority over all other seeders Is, that
while there was less than 2-5 as many seeder;
sold in the northwest in the winter and spring
of 1861, owing to short crops, hard times
grasshoppers, etc, and alter having closed
thirteen good agencies in the grasshopper ter
ritories, there soli greater number o.
Monitors by over 200, than any previous year
This shows that the Monitor takes the lead. Fol
the western states, as rule the seeder Is lar Q

of land places them among the exceptions, ".
