Matthews' i Hill and Drill Seeder IVo. 16 „ arranged so as t.. ,imp the seed continuously in drills or nt a distance of 4 S, 12, 16, 24 and 4S mclics apart. The adjustment from drills to hills is made hv one screw in attaching a brass cut-off to the agitator. The distance apart is regu- lated by the number of cogs on the driving wheel against which the agitator . ^A'"'^^^; T^*^ seed cannot drop except when the hole in the bottom of 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 need be dropped at a time than is desired, no matter what the distance may be If this 'imnlement Ta wanted, be sure and order the "Hill and Drill Seeder," as the regular garden drill cannot be fitted with the attachments Onr retail price, $7.50. List price, $9.00. The manufacturers of this line do not make a Hill and Drill"Seeder with cultivating attachments, and we would reenm mend as FAR PREFERABLE, one of the separate drills and a separate single wheel hoe complete, with ALL the att-ich ments, for which our retail price covering the two separate implements is only $12.00. Matthews'liBg^jfflEeafir Constellation Seeder Hoe, Cultivator, Plow, Rake and Marker The two wheels are desirable when used as a cultivator or wheel hoe, as in this way the rows of young plants may be straddled and the cultivating done on both sides of the row at one passing. The special feature of this implement is that when used in straddle row cultivation there is no projection below the frame to interfere with plants. The attachments are—One (1) Pair Hoes, Five (5) Cultivator Teeth, One (1) Pair Rakes, One (1) Pair Plows. List price, boxed $10.50 Retail price, boxed 8.50

Marker is of a less ex- pensive p a t- tern, but such as is gener- ally employed on other drills Cor which a high- er price is asked. It may be set ""or the various dis- tances, and i s thrown from side to side, being pivoted between the handles. Gem Seed Drill It has a iif w s(.oa regulator for gauging the exact flow of seed required; seed cut-off for stopping the flow while turning at the ends of rows, and marker adjuster for marking the rows at any desired distance apart. We do not recommend it for use instead of the larger drills, but we are sure that all in want of such a drill as we repre- sent will find this to be a very valuable implement. Retail price, $5.25. List price, $6.25. *§°Send for Special Catalogue containing full descrip- tion of all New Universal and Matthews' Tools. ALL, PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
