If you sow a bushel of clover seed to 7 acres, you sow 8 % pounds to the acre or 5b seect to the square foot and if every seed grew you would have used many times more seed than is needed.Mr. Chas. G. Ellis, Plainville, Ind., K. R. No. 1, sowed last spring with a Buckeye Clover Seed Drill, at the rate of a bush^ el to 15 acres, or 4 lbs to the acre. The saving of 4% pounds seed per acre worth at least 15c per pound means that cn 100 acres, the saving is more than the total cost of a Buckeye Clover Seed Drill.* */Suppose you only have 25 acres to sow you wall save more than $15.00 worth of seed—or almost one-fourth the cost of a drill. This is pretty good annual interest we think on a $65.00 investment.# iIf you question the fact that four pounds of clover seed drilled in is not sufficient, then we suggest you call Mr. Ellis ancl ask him if he had sufficient stand from this quantity.Mr. George Keith who also bought a Buckeye Clover Seed Drill last year is another convert to the 4 pound per acre idea, and he has 200 acres to seed to clover this spring. Stronger argument we could not use than the statements from representative farmers right here at home and we feel sure that every purchaser of a Buckeye Clover Seed Drill last year, will give it the same indorsement as Messrs. Ellis and Keith.HERE IS THE LIST■John Eads, Elnora, Ind.E. K. Sudd nth, City.Raymond Engleliart, Plainville, Ind.Andrew J.
