Runners can either be locked II

the drivers feet.

it makes no difference whether
team is driven fast or slow, or BY
jerks.
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 ut all
times see the corn dropping.
The lock being in the center, the
runners go q uniform depth. Plan
tiers that lock at the side run deep
er on one side than the other, when
the rlanteris locked in the ground.
The runners can be detached in
a few moments by taking out two
bolts, and can thus be readily shar-
pened. - ."~~ II. S ~
In the joints on the frame is an
iron plate with fanges which
makes the frame perfectly rigid
and exceedingly. strong, and the
water does not settle in the joint
to rot the frame. This applies to
the wood frame planter. -.~..9.
We WILL, ON APPLICATION, send
by mail a model of the force drop,
free of charge, to any person who
contemplates buying a planter, so
he can see just how the corn is
dropped. n

chains to run the machinery Who'll

wear out very quickly, especially
when the ground is dry and the
dust flies, links gets lost, chains
must be frightened, etc., and when
chain is worn out, a new one mus,
be had which may have to be
waited for to )me from the shop
