A. Weaver Co.'s Catalogue of Seeds and Implements,1 Newport, R. Abillhews' New Univoxal Model Hill und Drill" Seeder. MATTHEWS' NEW UNIVERSAL MODEL " HILL AND DRILL" SEEDER. Since the earliest time, the Ames Plow Company have made Seed Drills that will drop in hills as well as drills, but it is only recently that they have perfected and put upon the_ market the simple but complete mechanism embodied in the " New Universal Model Hill and Drill ;" The adjustment of this Hill- Dropper saves the seed, as no more seed than desired is dropped at a time. This is because the seed drops directly from the seed-box. at the desired distances, and in the same amount at all distances, and is not collected in a secondary receptacle, when, as a result of the distance traveled between hills, double the amount of seed would be deposited in hills, say eight inches apart, as when they are only four inches apart. This illustration shows the attachments for gauging the hill-dropping. It is arranged so as to drop the seed either continuously in drill, or at distances of 4. 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48 inches apart. The adjustment from drills to hills is made by one screw in attaching the brass cut-off to the agitator. The distance apart is regulated by the number of cogs on the driving wheel against which the agitator strikes. The seed cannot drop except when the hole in the bottom of the seed-box is opened by the agitator striking a cog on # the wheel, and it immediately closes again as the agitator drops. This saves seed, as no more can be dropped at a-time than is desired, no matter what the distance may be. One screw makes all the necessary change from one style of droppin
