Emery's Corn Planter

From Illustrated Annual Register of Rural Affairs, 1872

One of the best corn-planters drawn by a horse is the one represented by fig. 120, and known as Emery's. Seeds which fall by their own weight are dropped by a wood cylinder, having adjustable cups to measure or count the seeds, while light seeds, as beets, carrots, broom-corn, parsneps, &c., are forced out with regularity by a revolving brush. Although in use many years, it is still unknown to many good farmers.
