county alone will reach $500, 900. Nearly
all of this is on the south side of the

all their possessions. A call for aid will
be made, as many families in this and
Writ county are entirely without any
thing on which to subsist. A telephone

CUT IAN UNPATENTED SEED eOwRR.
Its feed motion, as will be observed
from the cut, is got from the hub OF the
wheel marked A, Fig. and Fig. 4, in
stead of from the spokes as in all other
wheelbarrow sewers, thereby saving
friction, which makes the machine run
very much lighter.
The wheel is about three feet in diam
eter and just as light as it can be made
and be sufficiently strong. The length
Of box should be governed by the width
Of drill. The length of box should lit
tie more than cover two throughs of
your drill, as this will prevent any mis-
seeding. The box must have false bot
tom, and the bottoms both grooved, SO
when they are screwed together the
groove will be just large enough to let
good sized chalk line cord play easily
through it. The bottoms, before they
are put together, must be bored with
three-eighth or half inch bits.
The holes should be four, inches from
center to center in each of the two boards
forming the bottom of box, but when put
together they should be SO arranged that
the hole in the upper board would strike
The lower board just half way between
the holes in it. This causes the string as
it is forced backward and forward to
draw the seed for two inches along the
groove before it drops out of the lower
hole, thereby causing an even distribu-
ton of seed at all times. One can SOW
from four to sixteen quarts per acre-at
will-simply by lowering or raising the
cord in the elbow marked B. The feed
wheel is held to the octagonal piece
fastened to the hub, by coiled spring
on the opposite end of lever marked G.
With cover on the box it can be used
with equal satisfaction in windy weather.
