at the Salisbury Meeting, 1857. 



43^ 



Koyal Agricultural Society, we should not disappoint anj' one of the candidates. 

 Before closing this report we must again say we do not approve of the com- 

 bined universal drills ; a good manure distributor and a corn drill are much 

 better separate, instead of so much alteration and laying aside of this and that 

 part of the machine. The fore-steerage, now so much in vogue, also causes 

 the attendance of an extra man and 4^. 10s. extra in the first cost of the drill. 

 This latter item is a needless expense when we see the work so well done by 

 drills only fitted with back steerage.
