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 ag-
ricutura community--lor the simple reason that il
docs tho work bettertahes one. third less seedsaves
from % to 81 per cent of labor IN putting outand
will in my opinion give yield of % per cent
generally, and upon lands liable to freeze out when
sown in the common way will give more than double
tho yield, drilled somo 10 acres last fall for my
neighbOrs all Of whom concur with me In the opinion
that Il has many decided advantages over all other
modes ofputting out wheat drilled field for John
Arney, Esd, who sowed another field In the common
way and believe all who have examined the two
fields, gvo It as their opinion that the drilled field will
nearly if not quite double tho broadcast in the yield
Notwithstanding the field sown In tho 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 was drilled with one bushe OF seed
per the drilled wheat was much tho largest and
when we came to harvest the thckest ON the ground
This machine operates wcll ON stumpy, hilly or clod
dy ground, which have fully tested and have no he
station In saying Is much better than either the plow
or harrow, JOSHUA CLARKE,
FARTiELn County, Ono We the undersigned
hereby certify that wo have used Moore's Drill made
