seed boxes for each row, which are fixed to a horizontalbar, aud may be shifted to suit tile varied intervals be-tween the rows, so as to come directly under the deli-vering spouts, and allow them to work freely. Thesesmall boxes are partitioned off into two departments, onelarger than the other, that when drilling beet and turnipseeds together, sufficient of each to last an equal timemay be put into the boxes at once. This drill is alsoadapted for side hills, like No. 1, and is shown in theannexed cut.

3. A lover corn and seed drill. This drill is for thepurpose of drilling in rows, at any distance apart, wheat,barley, beans, peas, oats, and other grain, and by changingthe cup barrel, turnips or mangold-wurzel seeds, withoutmanure. It is fitted with a swing steerage, that whendrilling lands or ridges of twice the width of the drill, thetwo rows where the drill joins on the top may be keptequidistant with the rest.
4. Drill for small farms; adapted for drilling all kindsof grain, turnips, and other seeds. The quantities maybe regulated, by means of cog-wheels, to deposit from 2to 12 pecks of grain, or from 1 to 6 lbs. of seed per acre.The distance of the rows apart may be varied as required,from 6 inches upwards, to suit different crops; and thewhole arrangement of the working parts is completelywithin the management of the attendant. The drill isespecially made for lands ploughed on the fiat, and to thedraught of one horse.
5. Barrow hand seed-drill, for sowing grass seeds broad-cast. The box is made in two departments, one for heavy-seeds, such as clover, trefoil, &c.; the other for lighterseeds, such as rye grass: the former being delivered fromcups, and the other by means of revolving brushes, downthe same conductors with it.
6. Hand lever seed-drill, for sowing turnips and otherseeds on ridge or flat ploughed lands, without manure. It isconstructed with two small levers, working independentlyof each other, which may be varied in distance from 16to 30 inches apart, and will deposit from 2 to 6 pints ofturnip, and 2 to 6 lbs. of beet seed per acre.
7. Garrett’s patent horse-hoe; adapted to all the pre-vailing methods of drill culture, either for cleansing cropsdrilled on the level surface, or on ridges, the axletrees ofthe wheels being moveable at both ends, to suit the variedintervals between the rows of plants. The steerage isconsidered an improvement on account of its precision inguiding the hoes, without injury to the corn or plants.From 10 to 15 acres per day may be hoed with onehorse, and a man and boy. Represented in the followingcut.
8. Bolting thrashing-machine, for thrashing grain ofall descriptions, without injury to the same, or bruisingthe straw, like the flail. It is fed lengthways, instead ofvertically, as in other machines; and the straw is deliveredon to a lattice platform, ready to he tied up in trusses orbolts, for sale, or other particular purposes.
