MOORE,s PATENT GRAIN DRILLs,

For Drilling Wheat, Rye, Barley, &c &c.
" NHESE Machines operate well on all kinds ofland,
and arc not injured by coming In contact with
rocks, roots, &c. They will plant point rows 4 all ir-
regular shaped helds without sowing any part twice
over. They will with ease for two horses, plant from
ten to twelve acres per day Of Wheat, Rye, barley and
other small grain. They will save from two 10 three
peckS OF seed per acre, and yield from 20 to IS per
cent. more than the broadcast seeding, by distributing
the grain uniformly atany desired depth, and leaving
q ridge Of earth betwe n the rows. The roots of the

All persons are warned against using, or selling to

KENNEL SQUARE, February II, 1851.
Messrs. Wright & Selby-Gents:-Your favor OF
the 18th inst, is this moment received. You ask IL
we consider ShernGH's Drill an infringement upon
our Patent. We have never yet seen the Drill in
question. except a model oft in the Patent Office, but
nom what we have seen, in addition to what we can
learn, it is our opinion that it does infringe upon a
very important feature OF our claim.
We understand that Mr.. SIS Agents in your State.
have told that our opinion is that his machine does not
infringe upon ours. Mr.. S and we have never had
any correspondence respecting his Drill; but we do
not wonder at his making such a statement, as we con-
slider him quite capable Of any such business-he
having already defrauded us out Of large amounts of
money, and at one time come very nearly running us.
Yours, &c. s. 4 M. PENE0CK.
