For Drilling TThcat, Rye Oats, Corn, Barley BcapS
Peas, &c. &c. &c.
WNHESE Machines operate well on all kinds of land,
u not injured by coming in contact with rocks,
ROOTS They will plant point rows and irregular
shaped fields, without sowing any pa twice over.
They will with for two horses, plant from 10 to
" acres per day of Wheat, Rye, Oats, Bari y and
other snail grain. They will readily plant from y !
to is acres per day Of Corn, Beans, Peas, SC.
They will save from . to 8 pccks Of seed per acre,
and weld from 90 to % por cent than broadcast
seeding, by distributing the grain uniformly at any
desired depth, and leaving ridge of earth between
the rows. The roots of the young plant protect
ed during the winter by thu action of the frost and rain
Wondering the earth upon them, instead of being
thrown out and exposed as in broadcast On this ac
count the stalk is stronger and less subject to mildew
and is not so liable to injury by ny. The farmer is
frequently prevented by rain from narrowing in his
grain after il is sown which narrowing is not neces
sary in seeding with the Machines, as they complete
tha work at once. .--.. ..

| do hereby certify that have used one Of PEN
nocs Patent Drills for five years, and put in from 80
to 7Oacres Of wheat for Ityself every year inco and
have never failed having good crop. think can
safely say that have realized from so to 80 per cent
or that it is has averaged from $500 to $500, and
even $500 year, over the usual broadcast seeding
My land being low, have lost greatly by the witt r
throwing the roots entirely out which is wholly OBJ.

Of the most valuable improvements offered to the ag.

that it has many decided advantages over all othe
II modes of putting out wheat drilled field for JohI

This may certify that we have used on our farm
us the last year, in seeding wheat, Moores Patent Gra
Drill and from the results, are we'll convinced that
answers most valuable purpose We find 1t we
adapted TO all kinds of lands hily, stony and stump
Upon such land we found no difficulty in using II.
believe II cannot be surpassed on any kinds Of Ian

T. the purpose most admirably--wheat sowed by I'll
Drill not being subject to freeze out on low lands,
that sowed in the ordinary way, by broadcast. Fro
our experience, we fully satihed that there Is
great saving in seed, by using this Drill, and mu
larger yield in the cropand we shall continue the u
Of this Drill hereafter in seeding all our wheat and
i. commend it to all farmers. afa.r.
