The Monitor Adjustable 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, Bnckwheat,, Com, etc, also Peas, Flax,
Hemp, Clover, Redtop, Orchard, Millet and
Hungarian grass seed. 1t sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at q uniform depth, pro-
ducing more and better grain than any similar
implement made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machines, rs a cultivator
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
at one operation BY removing the center Gull
tivator bar it does as thorough work as the best
independent cultivntor 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.
End. A perfectly accurate Feed
Guage.
Sd. A wind proof scatterer;
hich will not permit the wind
to effect the scattering iii the least.
18th. 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-
quired to change the quantity
sown.
7th. A Grass Seed Attachment
9Th. A Land measure.
9th. Oil cups, covers, claps and
catches and many other little con-
veniences not found in other seed
ers.
/ This machine has been quite extensively

igan, illinois, Wisconsin Iowa, Minnesota, Me-
traska, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Texas,
Oregon and California, in fact is sold from the
Gulf to the British Possessions, rs well as from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the universal
verdict is Excelsior" The manufacture Of
thousands annually is required to supply the
demand which furnishes lucrativee Payment
, to a large number Of mechanics, as well as to
the numerous agents, some OF whom sell an
, high as $50 Of these machines In single coun-
ty where they are used, principally, in sowing
Wheat, Oats, Peas, and Flax.
One Of the strongest evidences Of the Moni-
tors superiority over all other seeders is, that
while there was less than 2-5 as many seedef,
sold in the northwest in the winter and spri1k
of 1867, owing to short crops, hard times,
graashoppers, ETC., and after having closed
thirteen good agencies in the grasshopper ter
/, ritories. there was sold greater number oil
This shows that the Monitor takes the lead: For
the western states, az rule the seeder Is far q
head Of the drill But for those whose quality
OF land places them among the exceptions, VI
would inform, that the manufacturers Of this
excellent seeder, are making drill principally
for the eastern trade which ranks ahead Of al
others in pop larity, this machine is named
the monitor Force Feed Drill. ]"
