They will save from TO pecks Of seed per acre,
and Weld from 90 to % per cent more Than broadcast
seeding. hy distributing 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
moullcring tho earth upon them, instead of being
thrown out and exposed as in broadcast On this ac-
the stalk is stronger and less subject to mldew
and is not so liable to injury by ly. The farmer is
frequently prevented by rain from narrowing in his
grain after il IL sown, which narrowing is NOT
sary in seeding with the Machines, they complete
tn work at once. ......
RECOMMENDATIONS.
! UNroNvuLE, Chester COtatB Pa, FEB, 2, lS4S.r
do hereby certify that have used one Of PEN
nocls Patent Drills for five years. and put in from 80
to 7Oacres of wheat for myself every year nce and
have never failed having good crop. ! think | can
safely say chat have realized from 30 to 80 per cent
dfthat II is has averaged rue from $500 10 SlOO, and
even $500 year, over the usual broadcast seeding
My land being low, have lost greatlyby the witt
throwing Che roots entirely out which is wholly OBJ
Waited by drilling, would not take $5Ol formy Dill
it could'not get another ol the kind JOHN HUEY.

Tlis hay certify that purchased and used last sea-
son ono Of M6bfe's Patent Wheat Drills. and without
hesitation recommenditto all whcatgrowers, as one
of tie most valuable improvements offered to the ar
ricutura communication the simple reason that it
does the work bettertake ono third less scedsaves
from 25 TO 90 per cent of labor in Lnting out-and
will in my opinion give Yield of 95 per rent more
generally, and upon lands liable to freeze out when
sown in the common way will give more than double
the yield drilled some 40 acres last fall for my
neighbors all Of whom concur with me in the opinion
that has many decided advantages over all other
modes of putting out wheat fdrilled field for John
Arney, Esq, who sowed another field in the common
way and believe all who have examined the two
fields, give ias their opinion that the drilled field will
nearly If not quite double the broadcast in the yield
notwithstanding the field sown in the way was
the freshest and stronger ground. ..... .
In field Of mine Of fifteen acres had three acres
sown broadcast two bushels of seed per acre, the
balance Of the field was drilled with onebushe Of seed
per acre-the drilled wheat was much the largest and

This machine operates well on sti,mpy hilly or clod
dy ground, which have fully tested and have no he
station in saying is much better than cither the Plow

FAInrrELD County, Quo, July 81, 1850,
This may certify that we have used on our farms
the last year, in seeding wheat, Moores Patent Grair
Drill; and FROM the results are we'll convinced that
answers.a most valuable yTreose. We find it wei
adapted to all kndsof lands, billy. stony and sumpy
Upon such land we found no difficulty in using it. w,
believe it cannot be surpassed any kinds Of land
and on low nd wet lands we have found it to answer
the purpose most admirbly--wheat sowed by thi
Drill not beirg subject to free le out on low lands
that sowed in the ordinary way, by broadcast From
our experience, are fully satiied that there is
great saving in seed, by using this Drill, and mucl
larger Weld the crop -and we shall continue the
Of this Drill hereafter in seeding all ourwheat and re
