"Iron Age" Combined Seed-Drill and Wheel-Hoe e cannot the singl speak of it too e wheel is then After two years' experience in the sale of the "Iron Age " combined Seed-Drill and Wheel-Hoe, w highly. It is equally as good as a Seed-Drill or a Wheel-Hoe. The Drill attachment is complete in itself, and when put in place requires but two bolts to secure it put in position, the chain run on, and the drill is ready for operation. The seed slide and its index adjustment to sow the various seeds is similar to that used on our well-known New Model Seed-Drill, while the agitator is simply a revolving brush, of selected bristles, which will not injure the seed, wears a long time, can be cheaply replaced. In our experience with Seed-Drills, we have found that while some round, smooth seeds, such as turnip or radish, will flow through the discharge opening, and do not, therefore, need any agitator, for some others one is absolutely necessary to insure a continuous or positive feed. We have seen acres of beets ragged and forlorn, with long skips and spaces, simply by reason of this attempt to sow such seeds without an agitator. The high wheel and light frame make it run exceedingly easy. The arch being capable of straddling a crop 20 inches high, permits cultivating with this tool longer than is possible with any other Wheel-Hoe. The opening plow is adjustable in depth and also reversible, one en being wide for onion seed, and the other narrow for placing the seed in a close, straight line. The combined Drill includes all of the attachments shown in the cut above. It plows, levels, furrows, sows, covers, rakes, cultivates, hoes and hills, and does all in the most satisfactory manner. Packed weight, 50 lbs. Price, $13. The No. 9 "Iron Age" Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator Plow and Rake This tool is, in regard to the work done, almost a counterpart of the I touble Wheel Hoe, and the same remarks as to its construction, extreme lightness and ease of operation will apply with equal force. In addition, its lower price, less weight and steadiness given by one wheel, make strong arguments in favor of this tool. For the small kitchen garden we consider the single wheel hoe, with these points of merit, as being preferable. The work is done principally between the rows, although plantsof small growth can be hoed on both sides at once by placing the wheel on tin- left side. Willi this single wheel tool, spaces of exceedingly narrow width can be worked, even using but one cultivator tooth. Willi tin- luge plow attachment, deep furrows can be opened or closed ; potatoes, celery and other crops hilled—in short, .ill work usually accomplished by a special plow. Only those who have actually used one of these tools in his garden can appreciate its value or dream of its usefulness. Every day from early spring to late in the fall brings some special work for this tool. Those who raise poultry, even in very limited numbers, will find this tool of great value for stirring the soil in their poultry yards, especially when fitted with the plow. Packed weight, 28 pounds. Price, complete, $7.50; price, No. 10, plain (hoes only), $5.25. New Model Seed-Drill Regulation of Discharge. Drills of similar construction are usually provided with a serifs of holes, of varying sizes, through which the seed is passed, which, of course, do not always give an opening of the exact si/e required. The operator is usually told, in substance, that "if one hole doesn't suit try another." This adjustment in the Model is accomplished in a very simple and effective manner by the use of a slide with a pear-shaped opening, passing under the bottom of the seed reservoir, which is provided with perforations of similar shape in a reversed position. This slide can be instantly adjusted to size, indicated by index or to a hair-breadth variation between—a vital point to a perfect Seed-Drill. This index, or indicator, is plain, convenient and reliable, and can be quickly adjusted to the slightest variation desired. As the names of the principal seeds are shown on the index, tables of reference are not necessary. Gut-off. The flow of seed ran be instantly stopped, when desired, by a swinging cut-off, operated by a cord and ring on handles. Marker. It is simple, easily adjusted, and firmly held. Broad Wheel. Large and wide, so that it does not sink into soft earth. Covering Roller. It is attached by a swinging frame, enabling the operator to roll lightly or otherwise, by varying the pressure on the handles. Opening Plow. It is of steel, adjustable in depth. Price $9.
