The Monitor Adjustable Force Feed Broad
cast Seed-sower and Cultiyator 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, Millet and
Hungarian grass seed. II sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at a uniform depth, pro-
ducing more and better grain than any similar
implement made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machines. as a cnitivator
at one operation. By removing the center cul-
tlvator bar it doesas thorough work as the best
independent cnltivatOr made. In sections OF
the country where Flax is extensively grown
the Monitor has become truly famous.
1t bodies the following new features, which
places it far ahead of all other makes
lst. An adjustable Force Feed,

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 irnpor-
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.

CURED to change the quantity

oregon and California, in fact is sold from the
gnu to the British Possessions, as well as from
Il Att intic to the Pacific, and the universal
vr iict is Excelsior" The manufacture OF
thousands annually is required to supply the
demand which furnishes lucrative employment
to large number Of mechanics, as we'll as TO
.ne numerous agents, some Of whom sell N
high as $50 OF these machines in single coun-
" 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 la that
while there was less than 2-5 as many seeders
sold In the northwest in the winter ard sprin4
OF 1861, owing to short crope, hard timasss
grasshoppers, ETC., and after having closed
thirteen good agencies In the grasshopper ter
ritoriss, there was sold greater number OF
Monitors by over 900, than any previous rear.
This shows that the Monitor takes the lead For
the western states, AZ rule the seeder is far
had OF the drill. But for those whose quality
OF land places them among the exceptions, We
excellent seeder are making drill principally
fof the eastern trade which ranks ahead Of all
others IN popularity, this machine Is named
the monitor Force Feed Drill"
