The MONITOR Az JuSLl TOTCc Ttcu DIOdo'
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, Corn, etc, also Peas, Flax,
Hemp, Clover, Redtop, Orchard, Milet and
Hungarian grass seed. 1t sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at uniform depth, pro-
duciny more and better grain than any similar
implement made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machines ,sas a cultivator
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
at one operation BY removing the center Gull
tivator bar it does az thorough work as the best
independent cultivator made. In sections OF
the country where Flax is extensively grown
the MONT n has become truly famous.
It embodies the following new features, " hlch
places it far ahead of all other makes.
1st. An adjustable Force Feed,
that cannot clog under any cir
cumstances.
2nd. A perfectly accurate Feed
Guage.
81 Sd. A wind proof scatterer; at
tached it 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 a very lmpor-
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 wash. 1t
is warranted to last.
9th. No change of gear IS re-
CURED to change the quantity
sown.
It'll. A Grass Seed Attachment

9th. Oil cups, covers, claps and
catches and many other little con-
veniences not found in other seed
ers.

igan. Illinois. Wisconsin Iowa, Minnesota, Ne
traska, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky. Texas
Oregon and California, in fact is sold from the
Gulf to the British Possessions, as wei! as from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the universe
verdict is excelsior" The manufacture O.
thousands annually is required to supply tht
demand which furnishes lucrative employment
to large number of mechanics, as well as Il
the numerous agents, some OF whom Sc | a
high as $50 of these machines in single coun
tv where they are used, principally, IN SOWING
Wheat, Oats. Reas, and Flax.
One of the strongest evidences of the Moni
tors superiority over all other seeders Is, tina
while there was less than % as many seeder
sold in the northwest in the winter and spr1n!
of 1861, owing to short crops, hard times
f grasshoppers, etc, and after having CLOSED
p thirteen good agencies in the grasshopper ter
, ritories, there was sold a greater number 9
Monitors by over 200, than any previous year
This shows that the Monitor takes the lead. TO
the western states, as a rule the seeder Is far

of land places them among the exceptions, "
