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. It sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at q uniform depth, pro-
ducing more and better grain than any similar
impliment made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machinef, as 4 cultivator
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
ct one operation. By removing the center Gull
tivator bar it does as thorough work as the best
independent cultivstor made. In sections or
the country where Flax is extensively grown
the Monitor has become truly famous M
It embodies the following new features, which
places it far ahead Of all other makes.

will slip back when-coming in con-
tact with an obstruction, thereby
preventing all danger Of breaking
teeth or bars.
