Mr. W. T. McDonald, of Snap ping Shoals, has invented an im plement which is likely to revolu tionize the old way of distribut ing fertilizers. The old method has been to place the greater part and often all of the fertilizer in the ground be fore the planting is begun. With his distributor, the fertilizer may perform the duty for which it is made, that of a feeder, and may be fed to the growing plant as the latter requires it. This invention is ingeniously simple, and is made to fit the or dinary plow stock and the scrape or other kind of plow. This implement has the name of McDonald Fertilizer and Guano Distributor, and is fitted to dis tribute every kind of acid and guano now used, and without any additional labor or time, but with the same operation of plowing the corn or cotton, and is also a per fect oat drill. One of its finest features is the reversible spout, which with four distinct positions and any number of intermediate ones, strews the fertilizer exactly at any spot de sired. The regulating gate can be ad justed so exactly as to put down as little as 20 pounds per acre up to as much as is desireti, and all much more evenly than is possible by any of the older methods. It has a clutch attachment by which the whole strewing part of the machinery can be thrown out of operation while the plow is being carried to and from the field. The driving wheel is attached to any part of the plow beam by means of clamps, and is adjustable to any position in or beside the rows, and also up and down to NEW SUMMER MILLINERY Being Received Constantly. New Hat Arranged ON SHORT NOTICE. Get Ready for / t he Picnic. All the Nice Fancy Eatables for such Occasions. Call Phone 25 and accept our thanks. VERY TRULY, compensate for any pitch of the plow. This machine is made adaptable to any plow, is light, strong, and durable, and with a view to long life and usage. This is the invention of Mr. W. T. McDonald, with assistance of Mr. John R. Smith. Mr. McDon ald is a son of Mr. ,1. A. McDonald, of our county; and Mr. Smith is known throughout this section as the skillful machinist and inventor. While this is the implement’s first season, all who have pur chased it are more than satisfied and highly praise its every feature. Indeed, it is impossible to make them fast enough to supply the demand. Mr. John R. Smith is the manu facturer. They sell for the very low price of $5.00 each, and may be obtain ed either from John R. Smith, McDonough, Ga., or from Mr. W. T. McDonald.
