The Cole Cotton Planter and Corn Dropper. With Fertilizer Attachment Is Time Tried But Up-To-Date. The Cole Cotton Planter and Corn Dropper is simple, it has no chain crank or lever. The force feed is fastened solidly on the steel axle with the drive wheels. It thus has full motion and distributes the seed evenly without bunches and without skips. The steel coutler throws out all stalks and clods and the fender throws them to the middle, leaving a fine, smooth seed bed. The long steel sword presses out a smooth V shaped furrow. The seed lie in a straight line and are all covered same depth. The depth is easily regulated. The wind cannot blow the seed all over the bed, none are wasted at the end of rows. The Cole Planter will give a better stand with three pecks ot seed to the acre than oilier planters with double the quantitv. Owing to the cotton coming up in a straight line and without bunches it can be chopped to a stand much faster and can be plowed more accurately, thus reducing the cost of cultivation. The saving in seed and labor will more than pay for the planter every season. The quantity of seed is easily regulated from two to eight pecks to the acre. The seed fall in plain sight and the operator can see that it never misses. The planter is easy to run on crooked rows, on a flat surface, on smooth or rough land. It plants close to stumps and trees and is easily run on land too rough tor other planters. The fertilizer attachment distributes any commercial fertilizer in any quantity from 25 pounds to 400 pounds per acre. This planter mixes the guano with the soil directly under the seeds, and the young cotton is fed and stimulated as soon as its sprouts. The cotton grows oft thrifty and vigorous and is much cheaper to cultivate than puny, slow growing stuff. O C"3 This attachment has a direct chain leed from axle to hopper which positively insures a regular flow ot guano. The Cole Planter is simple, durable, and thoroughly practical. Depth, distance, and quantity of seed are easily adjustable. B, B. Carmichael & Son, McDonough, Georgia. P. S. Please remember that tor two years we have been unable to get enough Cole Planters to supply the demand* Be wise buy early. NOTICE. We are prepared to cull your planting cotton-seed.

Come and try the new machiny with a tew of your seed anyway. Your culls w/i more than pa}’ the bill. Yours to serve, A. N. Brown & Son.
