A one-page article from Scientific American describing Fell & Phifer's patented horse-drawn cotton-seed planter. The machine forms a ridge and drops seed in one pass, using a screw-type feed in the hopper to separate the fuzzy ginned seed, with adjustable shares and a covering rake. An engraving shows the machine, and the patent details (Nov. 20, 1866, Trenton, N.J.) are given at the end.
