put in it. It little matters by what mode this 



is done; the more fimple the better. The 



drill-roller does its work with as much defpatch 



as any thing I have feen, and fully as well. It 



may be neceflary to defcribe it (fimple as it is) 



to thofe who have not feen it. It is a roller, of 



any given length, made of wood, with nicks 



cut in it about fix inches afunder, as deep as 



your timber will properly admit. The edges 



mud be fhod with iron rather iharp, that when 



it rums round it may make fmall furrows or 



drills proper for your grain to fall in. You 



muft fow it broad-caft, and bufh-harrow the 



land after-wards. As to depth, you muft add 



more weight to your rollers, if you fee it not 



penetrate far enough. It is a good way to fix 



at the back-part of the roller fomething to 



clean out the nicks, or rhey will clog up and 



not make drills fufficiently deep to receive the 



grain. I have ften fome very regular good 



crops, that had been fown in this way.
