Inc 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, Buckwheat, Com, etc, also Peas, Flax,
Hemp, Clover, Redtop, Orchard, Millet and
Hungarian grass seed. II sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at uniform depth, pro-
duclng more and better grain than any similar
lmpllment made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machines, as a cultivator
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
az one operation. BY removing the center Gull
tlvator bar 1t does as thorough work as the best
independent cultivator made. In sections OF
the country where Flax is extensively grown
the Monitor has become truly famous.
II emoooles the following new features, W hich
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 in the least.
9TH. 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 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.
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
cat ches and many other little con-
veliences not found in other seed

introduced in the eastern states this season, and
has become a staple article in New York. Mich
igan, illinois, Wisconsin Iowa, Minnesota. Ne
tEsska, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Texas.
Oregon and California, in fact is sold from the
Gulf to the British Possessions, as we'll as from
Il Atlantic to the Pacific, and the universal
wr 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 Is to
the numerous agents, some Of whom sell q
high Is $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 Noni.
tors superiority over all other seeders is, that
while there was less than 2-6 a MANY sseders
sold in the northwest in the winter and spsins
Of 1867, owing TO short crops, hard times,
grasshoppers, etc., and after having closed
thirteen good agencies in the graash0pper ter
ritories, there was sold greater number Of
Monitors by over 200, than any previous year.
This shows that the Monitor takes the lead. For
the westsrn states, q rule the seeder Is far .
head Of the drill. But for those whose quality
OF land places them among the exceptions, We
would inform, that the manufacturers Of this
excellent seeder are making drill PRINCIPALLY
for the eastern trade which ranks ahead Of afI
others In popularity, this machine IL named
the monitor Force Peed Drill"
