Pennocli's Drills possess many advantages
over a rival Drill now before the public and
modeSttg claiming to be CHE only reliable Grain
and Guano Drill, for besides being as now
made equity reliaJle it has thedecided adyan
tage in lightncss Of draft and placing no weight
on the horses necks .. Greater simplicity in
construction being more easily understood aud
attended to. ?. The construction Of The drill
ing tubes ensures their being better kept in the
ground. 4. Complete protection Of the quano
in windy weather g. Facility for changing
of guagc OF quantity to be sown both of grain
and guano. 6. The position Of the guano box
it being behind the wheat box, is more copye-
nient for filling up. I. The steel points 10 the
drilling tubes, being reversible, arc equal to
two entire sets of steel points. 8. The grass
seed sowing attachment decidedly best And
last, if not least the advantage Of some $25,
difference in price.
So great was the satisfaction given by this
Drill last season, that at last advices Messrg
Pennocks had received orders for tie coming
season. for nearly 5000.
1t is no longer question with Farmers as to
the advantages Of drilling-especally where
guanO is used Almost every farmer viii drill
in bis seed this season, if he can be supplied
with drill. Many farmers who bought one
last year buy another this, and in one instance.
Mr. SAMUEL G. You've, thoroughly practical
and reliable farmer who bought one Of PEN
nock's last year, has already bought and had
delivered two more Of the same, and this after
having witnessed the workings Of several 9TH

the extensive farm bought Of Gen. Rusk. near
Leesburg, Va. No one is better qualified TO
judge Of the relative merits Of agricultural i'm
plements than Mr.. T. In this case, as will be
seem he is perfectly ds-intercsted having
bought and used both kinds Of the Drills in
order that he might decide for himself which
was best-what he says is worthy OF all credit,
and worth the more as he is a real practical
farmer and looks thoroughly into everything
Of interest connected with his occupation.

Mr.. j. T. lliGGINs, Dear Sir: In reply to
your enquiries respecting the working Of the
three Pennocks Wheat and Guano Drills
bought Of you last fall, | have to say that one
was purchased for my father, Mr.. Ioutio
Tmudle, one for my aunt, Mrs. Young, and
the other for myself ! learned that my faith
cr's and Mrs Young's both worked well and
quite to their satisfaction OF my own speak
from actual practical observation Of its work,
when | say that il fed out both The " heat and
Guano eceaIy, regularlgdHd reliaJly-the wheat
according The guage mark-thc Guano at fist
too freely but by little attention to weigh
ing it and comparing its feeding with the land
measure the exact allowance to be made was
soon asoertained, after which it required little
or no attention besides the filling Of the boxes
with the Wheat and Guano.
Having heard that the Guano feeding appa-
ra.us Of Pcnnock's Drill, the year before last.
was not wholly reliable especially where the
Guano was damp, and although assured by you
that the defect would be completely rrmedied
