cast Seed-sower and Cul6vator 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. It 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 machinee, As q cultivator
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
at one operation. By removing the center Gull
tlvator bar 1t does as thorough work as the best
Independent cultivstor male. 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.
LIST. 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 in the least.

will slip back when coming in con-
tact with all 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. It
is warranted to last.

One OF the strongest evidences Of the Noni-
tors superiority over all other seeders Ia. that
while there was less than 2-6 as many seedess
sold in the northwest in the winter and spring
OF 1867, owing to short crope hard timer.

thirteen good agencies in the grassbopper ter
ritories, there was sold CRATER number Of
Moniton BY over 900, than any previous year.
This shows that the Monitor takes the lead. For
the western states, as rule the seeder is far
head Of the drill. But for those whose 0ualitv

excellent seeder are making drill principally

Inc manufacturers are prepared to farther
increase the sale Of their celebrated machines.
