SVRsE DRILLS

For Drilling Wheat, Rye, Oats Corn, Farley Deans,
Peas, &c. &c, &c.
THNIESE Machines operate well on all kinds Of land,
H. are not injured by coming in contact with rocks,
ROOTS nc. They will plant point rows, and irregular
shaped fields, without sowing any pa twi'e over.
They will with ease for two horses, plant from 10 to
II acres per day of Wheat, Rye, Oats, Bari and
other small grain. They will readily plant from Il
to Is acres per day of Corn, Deans, Peas, &c.
They will save from . to pechs Of seed per acre,
and Weld from ~ to 2s pgr cent than broadcast
seeding by diSril uting the grain uniformly at any
desired depth and leaving ridge Of earth between
the rows. The roots of the young plant are protect
ed during the winter by the action Of the frost and rain
mouldering the earth upon them, instead of being
thrown out and exposed as in broadcast On Il IS ac
count the stalk is stronger andl subject to mldew
frequently prevented by raia from narrowing in his
grain after ii is sown, which narrowing is not
sary in seeding with the Machines, as they complete
tn work at once

UNoNvuLE, Chester County, Pa, FEB, 8, 1913.
do hereby certify that haye used one Of Pen.
noc's Patent Drills for five years, and put in from 81
to 70acres Of wheat for myself every year since End
have never failed having good crop. think can
safely say that have realized from so to 50 per cent
or that it is has averaged me. from $500 to $500, and
even $500 year, over the usual broadcast seeding
MY land being low have lost greatly by the wi r
throwing the roots entirely out which is wholly OBJ
waited by drilling Iwould not take 500 iormy Dill
if could not get another ol the kind JOAN IlUEY.
HocK1xo TOWNSHIP, Fairfield Co., Ohio, July28 1850
This NAV certify that purchased and used last
son one of Moores Patent Wheat Drills, and without
hesitation recommenditto to all wheat growers one
of the most valuable improvements offered to the ag
ricultural communty-for the s;mple reason that il
does the work better-takeS c third less seed-saveS
from % to 80 per cent Of labor in putting out--and
will in my opinion give yield of 25 per cent more
generally, and upon lands liable to freeze out when
sown in the common way viii give more than double
the yield drilled some 10 acres last fall for my
neighbors all of whom with in the opinion
that il has many decided advantages over all other
modes of putting nut wheat. drilleda field fer John
Aney, Esq, who sowed another field in the common
way and believe all who have examined the two
fields give tas their opinion that the drilled field will
nearly if not quite double the broadcast in tie yeC
Notwithstanding the field sown in the common way wa:
the freshest and stronger ground
In field of mine Of fifteen acres had three acre'
sown broadcast two bushels of seed per acre, tht
balance of the field drilled with one bushel Of seet
per acre-the drilled wheat was much the largest ant
when we came to harvest the thickest on the ground
This machine operates well stumpy, billy or clod
dy ground, which have fully tested and have no he
station in saying is much better than either the PloV
or harrow. JOSHUA CLARKE.
FAIRFIELD County,, ONO, July 81, 1850.
This NAV certify that we have used on our farms
the last wear, in seeding wheat, Moore's Patent Gra
Drill; and from the results, are well convinced that
answers most valuable purpose, We tnd IT wei
adapted to all kinds of lands hilly stony and stumpy
Upon such land we found no difficulty in using it w
believe il cannot be surpassed any kinds Of lane
and on low md wet lands we have found il TO answe
the purpose most acknowledgement sowed by thl
Drill, not being subject to freeze out on low lands,
that sowed in the ordinary way by broadcast fror
our experience, we are fully satfed that there is
great saving in Seed by using this Drill, and muc
as larger yield in the crop-and we shall continue the
n of this Drill hereafter in seeding all wheat and re
s.. commend it to all farmers
