ether small grain They win save from two to three
pecksof seed per acre, and yield from 20 to 25 per
cent more than the 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 are protected during the winter by the
action OF the frost and rain mouldering the earth upon
them, instead of being thrown out and exposed in
broadcast. On this account the stalk is stronger and
less subject 10 mdew and is not so liable to injury

E-s ~ RECOMMENDATION.
HocHING TowHsHIP, FAIRFIELD COUNTY, OHIo,1
July %, 1850 (
This may certify that purchased and used last sea-
son one OF Moores Patent Wheat Drills and without
hesitation recommend it to all wheat growers,
of the most valuable improvements offered to the AZ
ricultural communty--ior the simple that it
does the work bettertakes one-thrd less seedsaves
from % to 80 per cent of labor in putting out-And
Twill inmy opinion give yield of % per cent more
generally, and upon lands liable to freeze out when
lsown in the common way will give more than double
the yield. drilled some 70 acres last fall for my
heighbors all OF whom concur with me in the opinion
that ii has many decided advantages over all other
modes ofputing out wheat. drilled field for John
Amey, Esq, who sowed another field in the common
+ way and believe all who have examined the two
fields givei their opinion that the drilled field will
nearly if not quite double the broadcast in the yield
Notwithstanding the field sown in the common way
1 was the freshest and strongest ground.
: In field of mine of fifteen had three acres
sown broadcast, two bushels of seed per acre, the
balance ofhe field drilled with one bushel of seed
per acre-the drilled wheat much the largest and
when came to harvest the thickest on the ground
e This machine operates well on sumpy, hiy clod
dy ground, which have fully tested and have no he
station in saying much better than either the Plow
! or harrow JOSHUA CLARKE,

,, infringe upon Mr.. s. and we have never hA,
any correspondence respecting his Drill but we d,
