As my drilled Siberian wheat and barley are not 

 yet threfhed, I cannot afcertain the produce, but 

 from appearances it is much better than any fowed 

 in the common way. 



The few drill-ploughs I have feen, have ap- 

 peared to me to be very complex, which was my 

 inducement for conftrudling the one I now ufe. 

 Upwards of twelve months have been employed 

 to bring it to its prefent ftate, which, in making 

 frequent alterations, has already been extremely 

 expenfive. Its cylinders, fiow, are folid and lad- 

 ing; and although (at prefent) it works well, drill- 

 ing all my wheat on land that will permit, it 

 muft undergo another alteration to make it per- 

 fedily compleat. 



Under thefe circumftances, I am extremely forry 

 it is not yet in my power to comply with your 

 requefl: ; but fliall be able in a few months, after 

 my wheat, &c. are all planted, to make it com- 

 pleat for infpedlion.- 



I am. Sir, 



Your mod obedient fervant, 



Charleton, Nov. 2, 1785. GEO. WINTER.
