In connection Avith my business in Agiicultiiral Implements, I liavo
always sent abroa*l, (as well as a large tlomestic trade,) eveiy variety of
field and garden Seeds, and to this departmout, a\ liidi has lately been
largely increased, 1 again call the attention of my customers.
My stock of seeds of foreign growth is selected from the most relia-
ble sources in Europe and the United States, while those of domestic
groAvth are generally raised expressly for me and are under my i-ersonal
supervisicm until harvested, by which means I can secure for my cus-
tomers absolute certainty of the kinds and quality of my stock.
My stock of agricultiu-al and farm seeds and grain is veiy complete,
and is the largest in this department.
My Extra Earhj Pm is one of the earliest, and believed to be the
best grown, yielding well, and being very suitable for both farms and
gardens, and is highly recommended by all market gardeners who have
tried them.

FERTILIZERS.
.^1
' V"' Ground Bone.
This has been fully proved one of the best top dressings for grass
lands that can bo useil.
All crops are benefited by it.
From ten to twenty bushels per acre is the usual dressing, though
more for a first-class dressing is better, as it requires several seasons to
fully decompose it, and the effect of a large application will be felt for
many years.
It should be sown broadcast on grass land. On ploughed land,
harrow it in Avith the seed, or apply it directly to tho crop, in hills or
da-ills, just previous to planting.
It is sliippcil in l?aiTol.i, containing about ono hiuiflrod and aoventy-
five pounda i«ach.
Two Grades of this Fertilizer are made. The Half-incli Ground
Bone, wliich is very coarse, and the Fine licjue Dust, the latter being
the most saleable .ind l>eneticial.
SUPEKPUOSPHATE OF LiME.
As a Fertilizer, the Superphosphate of Lime is highly commended,
since it seems alDiost universally applicable, and, unlike some others, it
may be ai)plied in varying i)roportion3, without any risk of injury.
Full directions for applying it to best advantage will be furnished
to all purchasei's.
It is shipped in boxes of iO pounds each ; in biirrels of about 200
pounds each ; alsfj loose in any quantity.
Ammoniated Bonk Fertilizek.
For producing early crops and largo yiolils, this Fertilizer will bo
found very beneficial. It will adil very nmch to the fertility of the land
for throe or four years after it has been freely used, besides giving
abundant crops the first season.
It is shipped in barrels of 20U lbs. each, and in bags of 50 lbs. each.
J^^ No charge for bags or barrels witli this Fertilizer.
Peruvian- Guaxo.
This is the most conccntrateil and valuable manure, being derived
principally from the excrements of birds subsisting entirely on fish,
which yield even richer deposits than those of our gallinaceous fowls,
which are the strongest of all our aninial manures.
The other original constituents of Perivian Guano are the uncon-
sumetl remains of fish and birds that have perished, and whose reuiains
and excrements have, by slow decay in an intensely warm climate,
where no rain ever falls, thrown off most of their moisture and car-
bonaceous matters and left only the highly concentrated salts, all of
which are very essential to vegetable gi-owth.
For grass lands sow broadcast just before a rain.
One to three hundred pounds per acre is usually sown in drills or
broadcast, covering lightly with a harrow, and planting the seed directly
over it.
Phospho Guano.
This valuable manure la imported in its raw state from Islands in
the Pacific Ocean.
It contains about 40 per cent. Soluble Guano Phosphates, and other
Taluable elements.

PLOUGHS.
Fio. 3.— IMPROVED CHAMPION DOUBLE-FURROW PLOUGH
(combining gbay's and pirie's patent.s).
These Ploughs have become deserv-
edly popular, owii.'g to the saving
eilected in druught, manual labour,
wear and tear.
The demand for them is rajndly
and steadily increasing.
They are wholly carried on large
angular r'mmed wheels, which not
only carry their weight, but also
resist the i)ressuro exerted in lifting
ami turning the furrow. They have
neither side ror sole plates, and
hence are free from all friction,
caused by tho rubbing action of the
same ; the cvtting part of the Coul-
ters and Shares are so constructed
and arra' ged that they make rcom
for the rest of Plough, and no part
of it touches the soil or mould-board.
By this arrangement the iower
require:) to work the Plough is re-
duced FITLLY A third.
The Double-Furrow Plotigh can be
drawn on heavy soil with ease by
three horses, a;id on light soilby two;
Among the advantages these
Ploughs possess are the following : —
1st. — Economy in Draught. Tho
work can be accomplished by fewer
horses. On moderately heavy laml the Double-Furrow^ Plough
drawn by three horses wtll plough thrre acres per day of nine
hours, thus securing to the farmer a saving of not less than 30 per
cent., or affording him the opportunity uf having his ploughing done
quicker when a suitable season occurs.
2ml. — Economy in Manual Labour. With one of these Double-
Furrow Ploughs ONE. man can do the work of two, if using the ordi •
nary Plough, and with far mere ease, as they guide themselves, and
only require attention in case of anything unusual in the soil.
i -
iii
i
il
!i
3r(l.— Economy ix Wear axd Tear. The shares are made of steel,
ami are so cheaply constructe*!, ami keep sharp so long, that the whole
cost of keeping them up chjes not exceed the cost of sharpening the old
iron share.
4th.— These Ploughs raise and loosen the land more tho-
roughly ; from their construction they turn a deeper and broader
furrow, and press it more closely than the ordinary ploughs. There
bemg no sole plate, the subsoil is not glazed and haudkned as by
the common plough, the advantage thus gained being gi-eat in all cases,
but especially in damp soils.
It is the opinion of those best qualified to judge, who have seen
Gray's Improved Champion Double-Furrow Plou(;h worke.l along-
side others, and under every variety of circumstances, that the quality
of the work done, the strength and durability of the implement, the
lightness of draught, the 8imi)licity and quickness of adjustment, and
the general airangement for ease and simplicity of working combined
under his Patent, render it the best implement of the class before
THE public.
It is a strong, efficient and durable implement, suitable for all
KINDS of ploughing, and will also rib up to 18 inches in width.
The two lifting levers afford additi(mal facilities for throwing the
plough over fast stones or other obstructions in the soil, and the adjust-
ing screws on both right and left hand levers make it easily ailjustable
to any inequalities of the surface.
On light land, or for ribbing, it can be worked by two horses, and
on heavy and rocky land three horses can be used with safety.
The framing is made of the best Avrought iron, and is easily ad-
justed to plough any required width of fuiTow.
The skifes or heads also are strong, and of the best wrought iron.
The most crooked furrows can be easily straightened while
THE implement IS AT WORK.
In ploughing hilly land, the Patent Governor greatly facilitates the
operation, when it is desirable to plough one fun-ow up the hill and two
fun-ows down The new Governor can be adjusted to instantaneously /
ALTER from TWO TO ONE FURROW (wliich is Sometimes required in
finishing).
This Plough, when (mce adjusted, is feelf-acting, following the
hoi-ses without any attention from the ploughman, and works well in any
kind of land.
Triple-Trees,
Of a new and superior style, suitable for working tliree horses abreast,
can be furnished with the double furr<.w ploughs, or separately.

Eyeu's Pat}:,! Cojidim;!) Sjioothino \sii ('i::c;::.isii luox Haukow.
(■See Fig. 18.)
Tlie fnuiio cf this liirrow is luridc siniikr to ilie heavy zi;^'-Zag liar
rows.
In the foUo'ivirg particulars it will be fcnuivl fnr superior to any niher.
Fir.. 10.
1st. — Eaae of iJrawj'it. The teeth arj Hat, sharpened at both edges ;
highly tempered, and convex in shape, (See Fig. 19) ; and ntiwr clo'j/jin'j
cause the harrow to run with one-half tlie Tisiial draught ui^on the team.
All the useless friction is dispensed with.
2nd. — As a rnh^eriin >: As the teeth are flat, convex shai'e, and
sharpei' jd, they never clog, and therefore nni rkaii and hrujld through
the soil in every po.s.sible condition. From their position they cut dowh-
u-ards through lumps, running on to a lump like a sled thry liold it fast,
iuid cut and slice and inilverize it thoroughly. All oi-dinarj' teeth i>ush
lumps to one side instead of pulverizing them.
3rd. — It Cidt't rates, in the most jierfect manner, young growing
crops, such as AVheat, Oats, Barley, and particularly Com and Potatoes.
As the teeth ai'C convex, they do not tear up, but like a filed press downi-
wards and run with perfect safety over the deei)]y rooted com, wheat,
and other plants, while the young and tender weeds, just springing into
existence, are pulverized with the soil and destroj'cd.
Zio-Zao Iron IIauhows.
Those Harrows are made in two sizes, light and heavj', and the
teeth are so placed that they each cut a seiiarate track at cijual distances
apart.
It is made in tvo-nnv sections, four sections making up a haiTow of
forty teeth, ami has a very lively nK)tion when at work ; lieing in small
f-cctions, it readily jKljtists itself to uneven surfaces in the ground, is
light to handle or move, and of easy draught. There is not a nut or
key to remove when taking it apart, consequently no small parts to lose.
3^y taking out one of the inside sections, it makes a ligl'.t 30-tooth
har"xiw, suitable for one horse or a i)air of colts ; and it can at any time
lie enlarged by adding one or more sections, thereby making a 50 or
GO-tooth harrow.
The hinges or connections are so niTangcd that tliero is a joint
exactly behind each horse and one Vietween them, so that when cither
horse is walking in the furrow — or if the furrow is between them — the
hari'ow will with ease adapt itself to the shape of the furrow, thus
nicely dressing the edges of both lands at the same time.
As soon as one siile of the teeth becomes blunt, you can hitch on to
the other side of the harrow.
The sockets which admit of the teeth ai'e oval shaped, giving the
teeth the greatest possible strength.

The above figure represents the improved Turnij) drill, which is giv-
ing perfect satisfaction.
The rollers are made of cast iron and are hollowed to fit on the rows.
They slide along the axle and will ,idjust themselves to any inequalities
in the width of rows.
The dei)th of sowing is regulated by the hind rollers.
Tlie seed boxes are concealed from the weather, and are operated by
two friction wheels running on the front rollers.
By bearing on the handles sufficient to raise the front rollers the
sowing ceases, which is useful at the end of rows.
The quantity to l)e sown is gauged by a band with hole 3 of various
.sizes perforated in it which fits securely around each of the seed boxes.

Wood Roller Turnip Drill.
This style is intended more especially for sowing on the level, the
rollers not being grooved.
The seed boxes are operated by means oi a chain attached to back
roller.
In turning at the ends of rows, lift on the handles sufficient to stop
the sowing operation.
It doo.i not adjust itself to the rows, V)nt can be changed by means
of thumb screws which are also used to change the depth of sowing.
The sowing boxes are the same as the preceding style.

I.Mi'UOVED GUAIN DuiLL — (Soc Fig. 47).
Every .sood distributed by a drill adapted to its distriliution roaches
the exact point of depth where it will soonest germinate and grow.
It is evenly and perfectly distributed and evenly covered, not a seed
is left scattered on top of the ground to attract the attention of birds or
fowls.
None of them are deposited so near the surface of the earth as to
gi'ow weakly, sickly plants unable to ripen and mature the grain.
None of them are so deeply buried as to be iniable to force their
way to the sui'face.
Tlius evoy seed, if perfect in itself, is deposited in the earth at the
exact point wliere it will receive the best possible advantages for growth
and maturity, is far less liable to be effected by drouth ; and being
deposited at the same even dej)tli comes to the surface evenly.
entire growth is uniform, ripens at or near the same time, there-
fore earlier ; and by the admission of air and light alike to everv plant,
not only produces a better quality of grain, but a larger product.
Their advantages are summed up in a very few words.
They save the heavy lugging labour of broadcasting, no desiral'le
or pleasant task.
They perfect the work as they go, leaving nothing to be ruined or
lost by the impending storm.
They protect the seed from the drouth of mid-summer, the frosts
of winter, the bleak, cold drying winds of spring.
They save 25 per cent, of seed necessaiy to use by putting every
seed exactly where it should be.
They surely multiply and add bushels to the produce of the field.
Grain is not so liable to riist as when sown broadcsist.
It secures the same advantages for spring as winter grains.
In order to obtain good crops be sjire and get a good drill.
Directions for sowing all kinds of grain sent with each machine.

Tliis is comparatively a neAV style of mower. From the satisfaction
given to purchasers as well as the victories achieveil by it at trials, I
n the wheels,
giving large driving power in proportion to the whole weight.
The machine is one of the strongest, and also one of the lightest, in
use, weighing only GOO lbs.
The Sprague has the central lifting di'augl>t, lessening the work of
the team, and the liability to strain when striking C)bstructions.
The lifting apparatus is the most complete in use ; with the lever
only the bar is brought to a perpendicular position ami fastened, and
with the lever it is unfastened and lowered, and the driver, not leaving
Ilia seat, can do all this in ten seconds.
The cutting ajiparjitus is regardeK MoWKl:.

Tlio liack ]'art of the franio carrying,' the pitman, and to which tho
cuttoi-bar is also attaclied, is hitched upon the axle of tho drivuig
wheels ; this, with a hinged or llexil)]e cutter-1)ar, allows it to f)lIow the
.siuiace of the ground, liowever uneven, and keej'ing the connecting rod
always sijuare with the knives.
The cutter-har is made of steel, light and strong; it is quickly
raised liy a lever in order to i)ass over obstructions.
Its leading and peculiar feature is a dipping motion given to the
cutter-bar, which is regulated by the driver.
It cuts a swath 4 feet wide, and will cut from seven to ten acres per
day.

It lias been tin roughly testeil, and is rcc{.n; mended with iierftct
conf ilenco.
P.y means of a lever convenient to the right hand of the driver,
the cutting apparatus ami platform can bo easily and instantly tipped
down or up while Ihe mi.chiiio is in motion, so as to gather up short or
fallen grain.
It is easily raised or lowered i.erpcndicidarly, independent of the
tilting arrangement, by means of a separate lever applietl to the axle-
plate and platform wheel, ami can be set low enough to cut clover for
seed or high enough for the tallest grain. ,
It will work on side-hills or over rough ground.
Being perfectly balanced, their is no weight on the horses' necks.
It is the lightest draft self-raker in tlie market, has no side draft,
and is very dural)le.
Those requiring two single machines will find their wants fully
supplied with a Sprague Mower and a Biinliok Reaper.
Johnston's Self-Rake Reaper.
(See Fig. 54.)
This Reaper is strongly ard durably built.
The best materials are used in its construction. *
Its machinery is compact.
'Hie finger-bar is a combination of wood and iron.
The rake revolves round an axis close to the driving wheel, so
placed as to be entirely under the control of the driver without stopping
the team.
It cuts and delivei's tangled or lodged gi'ain rapidly, with little or
no side draught.
This reaper has been in successful operation for six years.
Its many jioints of excellence have won for it during that time a
multitude of friends, ami a jiosition never beff)re attained by any
harvester in so short a time. For the first two or three years it wan
comparatively little known ; but during the past three seasons it was
widely introduced throughout the pi-incipal wheat-growing sections of
the land, and gained a p<'pii^arity vnpiectdented in the h'ctciy of
reaping machines.
* Gordon's Self-Binding Harvester.
In appeartance this machine is not unlike the Marsh Harvester —
the ciitting and elevating is much the same.
Instead of two men binding the grain as it is cat, a very simple
and ingenioiis contrivance is attached, which gives the driver perfect
control of the whole machine.
The gavels are easily made of anj^ rcfiiiired size.
It binds any part of gavel, and as tight as desired. . , . ;. . . ,
Binding is done with No. 20 wire.

KiKBY COMKIXED MoWER AND SkLF-RaKE ReAPEK.
(See Figg. 55, 50 & 57.)
A Combined Mower and Reaper, to be siicceHsful, must wnik por-
foctly in wet or dry weather, wlietlier on rough, smontli, hard or soft
ground, hillside or level, in all kinds asid conditions of grain and gi-ass,
cuttir ^ high or low.
The Kirby works successfully under any of the above conditions.
The Kirby Mower.
The main parts of the Kir'y Slower are, a strong cast-iron frame,
which cannot shrink or swell, on wliich the gearing is carried ; a finger-
bar of wrought-iron, such as to secure perfect sjtilfness and strength, and
a knife or cutting-bar of steel.
The driver sits, with perfect safety, on a spring seat, at left side of
driving wheel, having the team and cutting apparatus immediately
under his eye.
Tho frame and inner end of the finger-bar are balanced and raised
by tho weiglit of the driver alone ; a slight lifting by the right foot in
the stinnij) being all tliat is necessary to effect this.
By a lever at the right hand the outer end of the bar is easily raised.
In the Kirby Mower the finger-bar has no joint whatever, it is
always straight, and, therefore, the knives and cutting gear are always
in line, and work freely and smoothly.
But tho independent action (joint) which every ni(jwer nnist have
to allow it to pass flexibly and easily over elevaticms and obstructions
is in the frame of the Kirby Mower, or rather in connection between
tlie frame and tho drive-wlicel, and this joint answers the puri)osc
etioctually and economically.
A light, convenient reel is sent out with each machine, that is of the
greatest advantage in mowing.
Wlien properly managed it never fails to give satisfaction.

HAY TEDDERS.

C - I c 4 ^ n>
By the use of tlii? n:aoiune tlio farmer is enabled (in ordinarj' liay-
ing woathei') to propei-ly cure the gra.S3 ami get it into the barn on tlie
same day, in good condition, thereby not only cUccting a gi'cat saving of
labor, but avoiding changes of weather.
The Tedder -will pay for itself in tedding fifty tons of hay.
The action of the forks is .such as to leave the grass lightly turneil
up, and in the best condition for the admission of the iiir and the sun's
rays.
The draft of this Tedder is light and easy for one horse.
A boy who can drive a horse can operate it, and turn and spread
an acre every twenty minutes.
By means of a lever, convenient to the driver, the forks can be
raisetl or lowereil to any desired height.
In this Hay Tedder, the separating and distributing of the gi-ass is
done by means of a fast backward motion, which throws the hay ui)
behind the machine.
It has been thoroughly tested, and farmers who have seen these
machines at work in the hay field will testify to their successful opera-
tion where the horse rake can be used.
HORSE HAY RAKES.
Fio. UO. — The Ithaca Wheel Rake. r> . , i ..^
The Ithaca Wheel Rake is made strong and durable, and of the
best materials. It has 20 teeth, which are spring-steel, oil-tempered.
The manner in which the teeth are fasteneil, and the application of
the pressure and staple-bar, are not suritassed.
fi.S
52
!!
The loaded rake is easily discharged, ami witli(nit labor, by a foot
treadle and a hand lever, which is pnlled towards the operator while
sitting on the seat.
The teeth are held firmly to the surface, when necessary, by apply-
ing the foot to the same lever, leaving both hands for driving.
Each tooth is independent ; and the rake, having a movable
head, accommodates itself to any surface, either smooth, rough, or stony.
It is successfully used for spreading manure, b\mching hay in the
winrow, raking corn-stalks, pea-vines, Aveeds, swainp-grass, and it is
effectual in straightening U]* lodged gi-ass, so that the mowing machuie
will cut it closely.
This rake has paid for itself in one season, in raking stubble alone.
The tooth frame may be raised or lowered by a single bolt, any
required distance from the ground.
It does not thresh the grain nor collect dirt.
In all respects it has proved to be a i-eally lirst-class hay and stubble
rake.
An attachment for sowing phaster, and all fertilizers of a dusty
nature, is sujiplied with this rako (and is also very eflicient), as repre-
sented by Fig. 48.
Taylou'.s Sulky Hay Rake.
Tliis Rake is mounted on wheels, and in s< mo respects resembles
the Ithaca AMieel Rake.
The principal ditl'erence is in the shai)e of the teeth and a spring
being placed over each tooth.
In those respects it is l)y some considered preferable to the Ithaca.
e-
Fig. 61.— Sulky Wood Hokse Rake. C - / 0(# /^^
The teeth are made of wood and have an entirely independent
action.
In raking grain stubble it does not thi'esh the grain.

easily discharged.
It rakes heavy equally as well as light hay or stubble.
The teeth are strong and dui-able.

HAY FORKS.
Fig. G3. — Patent Horse Hay Fork.
Of the many kinds of Horse Forks before the
public, none has been foiuid to compare with this
st^le in all kinds and conditions of hay and grain.
The following are a few of its advantages : —
It is made entirely of wrought iron, which makes
it very durable.
It ia very simple in construction, and not liable
to get out of order ; in fact, altliough I have sold
large numbers, I have not heard of a single com-
plaint.
It does not take up much space, and is very
easily operated.
Having two prongs, one at each side, it is per-
fectly sqiuire in its ascent.
When seen for the fii-st time veiy few persons
can be found who can tell what it is intended for ;
but, as seeing is believing, when they behold it at
work all their objections are instantly overcome.
It will take more hay in a single forkful than any horse can elevate
over single tackle blocks, and two horses have taken a ton at one
draught.

to prevent the belt slipping ; should any, however, prefe" wooden
pulleys, they will be put on.

levers at their outer ends, and attached to tho Ftdlower at sepai'ato
points nearer tho centre. They are geared together by strong knuckle-
shaped teeth so that they must move together, thus holding the Follower
perfectly level at all times, and allowing the cliains to be attached to the
Windlass, so as to adjust themselves. Parties who are familiar with
these Presses will recognise this as an improvement. The chains pass
from the lower angle, formed by tho levers to the Windlass under tho

Tliey j)erforra the operation of grass-cntting on any ground that can
he well mctwn with a scythe, cut it evenly, and leave the sward in a nuicli
improved condition.
The jilan of construction has the following advantages : the
machine v.ill cut as well when turniuL,' a short corner as when
pushed straii^ht forward. The tendency of the gearing is to lift tiie
lower knife, (thus causing it to pass lightly over uneven groiuid,) instead
of pressing it down. The machine being single geared, tlw friction and
niunber of j)arts is reduced one half. The cut grass is thrown beliiml tlu:
cutters, instead of forwar lireak or get oiit'of order, and
render tiio machine very ilurable.
