Will plant corn in straight rows
both ways, whether team goes fast
or slow. This alone will save the
price Of planter for every 100 acres
Of corn planted, by not having corn
destroyed in cultivating.
When raised out of the ground
it is self-locking, thus avoiding the
use of latches.
It has glass at the heel Of the
drop SO that the driver can at sall
times see the corn dropping.
The lock being in the center, the
runners 60 uniform depth. Plan
tiers that lock at the side run deep
or on one side than the other, when
the PLANTER is locked in the ground.
The runners can be detached in
few moments by taking ont two
bolts, and can thus be readily shar-

In the joints on the frame is.an
iron plate with fanges which
makes the frame perfectly rigid
and exceedingly strong, and the
water docs not settle in the joint
to rot the frame. This applies to

We WILL, ON APPLICATION, send
by mail a model of the force drop,
free of charge, to any person who
contemplates buying a planter, 50
