VNHESE Machines operate weldon all kinds oflanl,
rocis roots, &c. They will plant point rows all ir
regular shaped fields without sowing any part twice
over They will with ease for two horses plant from
ten to twelve acres per day Of Wheat Rye Barley ana
other small grain. They win save from two to three
pecks of seed per acre and yield from 20 TO 70 perl
cent more than the broadcast seeding by distributing
the grain uniformly at any desired depth and leaving
a ridge of earth between the rows The roots oi the
young plant protected 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 this account the stalk Is stronger and
less subject to mildew and is not so liable to injury
by ly. The farmer is frequently prevented by rain
| from narrowing in his grain after il is sown, which
narrowing is not necessary In seeding with the Ma
chimes. as they complet the work at once.
This Machine for convenience. simplicity and
cheapness, is superior to any now in use The price
beine $50 for Machine with 6, and $50 for one with
8 hose.

This may certify that purchased and used last ,ea-
son one Of Moore's Patent Wheat Drills and without
hesitation recommend il TO all wheat growers as one
of the most valuable improvements offered TO the az
ricutura coInmunity-ior the simple reason that it
does the work betterakes third less seed-saves
from % to 80 per cent Of labor in putting out-and
will in my opinion give yield of % per cent, more

the yield, drilled some 10 acres last fall for my
neighbors all oi whom concur with in the opinion
that it has many decided advantages over all other
modes ofputting out wheat drilled field Tor John
Aney Esq, who sowed another field in the conmor
way and believe all who have examined the twC
fields give ii as their opinion that the drilled field viii

was the freshest and strongest ground.
