'NNHESE Machines operate weldon all kinds ofland,
Il and are not injured by coming in contact with
rocks roots sc. 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 per day Of Wheat,Rye Barley and
other small grain. They will save from two to three
pecks Of seed per acre. and yield from 70 to 20 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 protected during the winter by the
action Of the frost and rain moudering the earth upon
them instead of being thrown out and exposed in
broadcast On this account the stalk is stronger and
less subject TO mildew, and is not so liable to injury
by Ay The farmer is frequently prevented by rain
from narrowing in his grain after it is sown, which
narrowing is not necessary in seeding with the Ma
Chimes as they complete the work at once.
This Machine for convenience, simplicity and
cheapness is superior to any now in use. The price
being $50 for Machine with 9, and $50 for one with

hesitation rscommenfitto all wheat growers, as one
Of the most valuable improvements offered to the ag-
rcultura community-ior the simple reason that Il
doeshe work better-takes third less seed-saves
from 25 to 80 per cent of labor in putting out-and
win in my opinion give yield of 25 per cent. more

sown in the common way viii give more than double

neighbors all Of whom concur with me ia the opinion
that it has many decided advantages over all other
modes Of putting ont wheat. drilled field for John
Arney, Esq, who sowoI another field in the common
way and believe all who have examined the two
fields, give it their opinion that the drilled field will
nearly II not quite double the broadcast in the yield
Notwithstanding the field sown in the common way
was the freshest and strongest ground.

balance ofhe field was drilled with one bushel of

This machine operates well on sunpy, hilly or cod-
dy ground, which have fully tested and have no he

| FAnFIELn County, OHfo.--We the undersigned
hereby certify that we hayo used Moores Drill, made
Iby WRI0nT AMI SEIBT, in seeding Wheat on our

that II is decidedly the best mode of seeding Wheat

drill, We take pleasure in recommending it to al
farmers a valuable improvement.
