The anti-monopolist., 1877-11-01

The Monitor Adjustable Force Feed BROAD
cast Seed-sower and Cultivator combined, has
become the most popular implement TOR SOW
ing all kinds of grain, viz Wheat. Rye, Oats,
Barley, Buckwheat, Corn, etc, also Peas, Flax,
Hemp, Clover, Redtop, Orchard, Millet and
Hungarian grass seed. 1t sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at a uniform depth, pro-
duciny more and better grain than any similar
implment made, owing to its superiority over
all otter combined machines, as cultlvator
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 cultivator made. In sections OF
| the country where Flax is extensively grown
| the Monit r has become truly famous.
| 1t embodies the following new features, " hlcn
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.
.s3d. 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
i any strain. This is very impor-
g tant and decided improvement in
Il seeding machines, as the gear shaft
J in all other similar implements,
e will in time be bent or worn
: throwing the gear out Of wash. 1t
,e is warranted to last.
Il 9th. No change of gear is re.
X ouired to change the quantity

,S. nu One Of the strongest evidences OF the MOI
us1 tors superiority over all other seeders is, th
while there was less than 2-5 as many seede
J. sold in the northwest in the winter and sprll
md of 1867, owing to short crops, hard tims
rrasshoppers. ETC., and after having clos
:. thirteen good agencies in the grasshopper q
4 ritories. there was sold greater number
Monitors by over 200, than any previous ye,
This shows that the Monitor takes the lead I
the western states, as rule the Seeder Is "a
head Of the drill. But for those whose quail
of land places them among the excepnons,

excellent seeder are making drill prlnclpa
for the eastern trade which ranks ahead Of
others in popularity, this machine Is nam
the "Monitor Force Feed Drill"
