do hereby certify that have used one of PEN
nocks Patent Drills for five years. and put in from 30
to 7Oacres Of wheat for myself every year since 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 me from 500 to S400 and
oven $500 year. over the usual broadcast seeding
My land being low, have lost greatly by the witt
throwing the roots entirely out, which is wholly OBJ

This may certify that purchased and used last sea-
son one of Moores Patent Wheat Drills and without
hesitation recommend tito all wheat growers as one
OF the most valuable improvements offered to the ag-
rcultural communiy--ior the simple reason that il
does the work better-akes onethird less seedsavos
from % TO 30 per cent of labor in cutting out-and
will in my opinion give yield of 25 per cent moro
generally, and upon lands liable 10 freeze out when
Sown in the common way will give more than double
the yield thrilled some 20 acres last fall for my
neghbors all OF whom concur with in the opinion
that it has many decided advantages over all Other

Arney, Esq, who sowed another field in the common
way and believe all who have examined the two
fields, give as their opinion that the drilled field will
nearly if not quite double the broadcast in the yelC

| This may certify that We have used on our farms
the last year, in seeding wheat Moores Patent GraiI
Drill and from the results are well convinced thst i
answers most valuable purpose. We find il vel
adapted to all kinds of lands, hlly 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 md wet lands we have found it to answe
the purpose most admirably--wheat sowed by thi
Drill, not being subject to freeze out on low lands,
that sowed in the ordinary way, by broadcast From
our experieEcc, are fully satiled that there is
great saving in seed by using this Drill and mucI
larger yield in the crop-and VIC shall continue thes
Of this Drill hereafter in seeding all our wheat and
commend il to oil farmers.
