Patents for "double force" seed distribution and changeable speed gearing increased the drill's utility. Farmers could use it to plant seeds and spread fertilizer at the same time.

The reaper, perhaps a McCormick-Deering model, was reinforced to cut the woody stalks and rake them onto the ground. The text incorrectly links hemp with other strains of Cannabis sativa and other species (Cannabis indica) from which medicinal or recreational products, including hashish, derive.
