Sows on an average six (6) acres per hour at a common walking gait. A person entirely unused to sowing by hand can use this machine with perfect success, and do much better work than can possibly be done by hand, and, as the seed is distributed so much more evenly, there is a great saving in seed over hand sowing. The bag and hopper holds about 22 quarts—as much as a man wishes to carry. The machine is simple, substantial, not likely to get out of order, and any one who will take a little pains to understand it can operate it with perfect success. CIRCULAR SENT WITH EACH MACHINE. THE FIDDLE-BOW SEED SOWER, This is a very light machine, weighing but three pounds, is carried over the shoulder by a strap ; the sack will hold a half-bushel; there is a slide that works over an opening in the bottom of hopper, which is con- tinually aggitated by the destributor. This prevents clogging and insures an even and regular flow of seed on to the destributor. This opening is regulated by a seed scale on side of box; the destributor is operated by a bow, one full stroke at every step ; it is a regular motion and comes per- fectly natural with the easy swing of the arm. It is well made, handsomely finished, and will give perfect satisfaction with any kiJid of seed sow^n broadcast.
