even $500 a year, over the usual broadcast seeding,
NY land being low, | have lost greatly BY the winter

This may certify that | purchased and used last sea-
son one of Moore's Patent Wheat Drills. and without
hesitation | %recommend tito all wheat growers, as one
Of the most valuable improvements offered to the ag-
r~icultural communication the simple reason that it
does the work better--takes one-third less seed--saves
from % to 80 per cent of labor in putting out--and
will in my opinion give a yield of IS per rent more
generally, and upon lends liable to freeze out when
5own in the common way will give more than double
the yield. drilled some 10 acres last fall for my
~neighbors all of whom concur with me in the opinion
that it has many decided advantages over all other
modes of putting out wheat. I drilled a field for John
Arney, Esq, who sowed another field in the common
way and ! believe all who have examined the two
fields, give it as their opinion that the drilled field will
n2arly if not quite double the broadcast in tue yield
Notwithstanding the field sown In the common way was
the freshest and stronger ground.
In a field of mine Of fifteen acres | had three acres
sown broadcast1two bushels of seed per acre. the
balance of the field was drilled with one 6ushel of seed
per acre--the drilled wheat was much the largest and
when we came to harvest the thickest on the ground.
This machine operates well 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.
FAIRFIELD COUNTY, 0HIo, July %, 1861.
This may certify that we have used on our farms,
the last year; in seeding wheat, Moorc's Patent Grain
Drill; and from tho results, are well convinced that il
answers a most valuable purpose. We find it well
adapted to all kinds of lands, hilly, stony and stumpy.
Upon such land we found no difficulty in using 1t. We
believe II cannot be surpassed on any kinds of land;
and on low nd wet lands we have found it to answer
the purpose most admirably-wheat sowed by this
Drill, not being subject to freeze out on low lands, as
that sowed in the ordinary way, by broadcast. From
our experience, we are fully satiicd that there is
great saving in seed, by using this Drill, and a much
larger yield in tho crop--and we shall continue the use
OF this Drill hereafter in seeding all our wheat, and re
commend 1t TO all farmers.
