Xone genuine hut those having the Patent Indi- cator. All Drills are now fur nished %\ath the New Seed Cut-oft, so no seed is wasted in turning at ends of rows, and Avith Im- proved Markers. The Matthews' Drill is designed to be used in field or garden. When In operation, it opens the furrow, drops the seed accurately at the desired depth, covers it and lightly rolls the earth down over it, and at the same time marks the next row, all of which is done with mechanical precision, by simply propelling the drill forward. In this way it sows, with an even- ness and rapidity impossible for the most skillful hand to do, all the different varieties of Beet, Carrot, Onion, Turnip^ Parsnip, Sage, Spinach, Sorghum, Peas, Beans, Broom Corn, Fodder Corn, etc. The agitator stirs the seed in the hopper thoroughly by a positive motion, which insures continuous and uniform delivery, and the bottom of the hopper is made sufficiently dishing to sow the smallest quantity of seed. A simple contriv ance accurately gauges the uniform deposit of the seed to any required rfej^^A, thus avoiding the risk of planting at irregular depths, or so deep in places as to destroy the seed. The improved markers are made adjustable for the purpose of marking the rows any desired distance apart, and they mark them distinctly whether the groimd is even or uneven. It is also provided with an Indicator having the names of different seeds thereon. To adjust the Drill for planting different kinds of seed, it is only necessary to to turn the indicator around until the name of the seed to be planted comes to the indicator pin at the top. This ingenious invention is a great improvement upon any other method, and is infinitely more convenient and reliable. Price, $, boxed.
