MOORE,s PATENT GRAIN DRILLS,

For Drilling Wheat, Rye Barley &c &c.
TUNHESE Machines operate well ON all kinds ofland,
Il and not injured by coming In contact with
rocks, roots &c. They will plant point all ir-
regular shaped fields without sowing any part twice
over. They will with ease for two horses plant from
ten to twelve per day ofWheAt Rye, Barley and
other smell grain. They will save from two to three
pecks Of seed per acre. and yield from 20 to 25 per
cent than the broadcast seeding by distributing
the grain uniformly at any desired depth, aud 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 moulderng 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 midew and is not so liable to injury
by fly. 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 complete the work at once.
This ssMaehine for convenience, simplicity and
cheapness, Is superior to any in USE The price
being $50 for Machine with g. and $50 for one with
3 hose.

This may certify that purchased and used last seS
son Of kloores Patent Wheat Drills and without
hesitation recommend to all wheat growers as one
of the most valuable improvements offered to the ag-
ricultural communty-for the simple reason that Il
does the work bettertakes 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
the yield. drilled some 10 acres last fall for my
neghbors all of whom concur with me in the opinion
that it has many decided advantages over all other
modes oiPutting out wheat drilled feli for John
Arnoy, 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 not quite double the broadcast in the weld
Notwithstanding the field sown in the common way
was the freshest and strongest ground.
In field OF mine Of fifteen acres had three acres
sown broadcast, two bushels of seed per acre. the
balance ofthe field drilled with one bushel of seed
per the drilled wheat much tho largest and
when we came to harvest the thickest the ground.
This machine operates well on stumpy, hlly or cod-
dy ground, which have fully tested and have no he
station in saying is much better than either the Plow
or harrow. JOSHUA CLARKE,
FAIRFIELD County, OH1o.--We the undersigned
hereby certify that have used Moores Drill made
Iby WRIGHT and SELBY, in seeding Wheat our
farms the past year, and have hesitation in saying
that it decidedly the best mode of seeding Wheat
we intend hereafter to seed all our Wheat with the
drill. We take pleasure in recommending it to all
farmers a valuable improvement.

1 we consider Sherman'S Drill infringement upon
:, our Patent We have never yet seen the Drill in
question: except model oft in the Patent Office, but
om what we have seen, in addition to what we can
. learn it is opinion that it does infringe upon
very important feature of our claim
We understand that Mr.. SIS Agents in your State
avo told that opinion is that his machine does not
, infringe upon ours Mr.. s. and we have never had
any correspondence respecting his Drill; but do
not wonder at his making such statement, we con-
slider him quite capable of any such business-he
having already defrnuded us out of large amounts o
money, and at one time come very nearly running us
