The 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,
Hemp, Clover, Redtop, Orchard, Millet and
Hungarian grass seed It sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at uniform depth. nro.
duciny more and better grain than any similar
impliment made, owing to its superiority over
all other combined machines, as a cultivator
it will tear up aud pulverize the hardest soil
at one operation. By removing the center emil
tivator bar it does as thorough work as the hest
independent cultivat0r made. In sections or
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.
1st. 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.
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
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.
9th. No change of gear is re-
qulred to change the quantity
sOwn.
It'll. A Grass Seed Attachment
9Th. A Land measure.
9th. Oil cups, covers, claps and
cat ches and many other little con-
veliiences not found in other seed
