The Monitor Adjustable Force Feed Broad
cast Seed-sower and Cultivator combined, haa
become the NEST popular implement for SOW
ing all kinds of grain, viz: Wheat, Rye, Oats,
Barley, Buckwheat, Corn, etc, also Peas, Flax,
Hungarian grass seed. It sows perfectly even
and covers the seed at uniform depth, pro. n
ducinY more and better grain than any similar
impliment made, owing to its superiority ovef
all other combined machines, as 4 cultivator
it will tear up and pulverize the hardest soil
at one operation. By removing the center cul..
tivator bar it does as thorough work as the besS
independent cultivator made. In sections OF
the country where Flax is extensively grown
the Monitor has become truly famous
tembodies the following new features, which
places it far ahead of all other makes.
1st. An adjustable Force Feed,

will slip back when coming in con5
tact with an obstruction, thereof
preventing all danger Of breaking
teeth or bars.
9Th. A combined Sand-proU
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.1
tant and decided improvement il
seeding machines, as the gear shaft
