 Richmond, February 27th. 



Castle Hill, Dec, 15, 1854. 

 Col. Wk. B. Stgughton: Dear Sir: I take plea- 

 sure in recording here my impressions of the per- 

 formance ofyourPlow (Rich's Iron-beam^Patent) at 

 Cobham to-day. The work was far more thorough 

 and complete than that of any plow I ever saw in 

 operation before. The furrow opened by it was 

 very generally 13 inches deep and about 20 inches 

 ■wide in hard close land, and most effectually and 

 perfectly cleaned out, none of the sod earth falling 

 back into it. 



The trial of the plow was witnessed by many of 

 my neighbors, among whom I will mention Messrs. 

 Frank R. Nelson. J. H. Genell, J, PI. Lewis, C. B. 

 Hopkins, Thomas Watson, of Louisa, &c, all prac- 

 tical men and most excellent judges of agricultural 

 implements, and there was but one opinion among 

 them as to the superiority and unexceptionable per- 

 formance of your plow. 



Wishing you equal success elsewhere in making 

 this valuable implement favorably known to our 

 , agricultural brethren, I remain yours, truly, 



ap2t WM. C. RIVES. 



MEK.1N O SHEEP. — Having increased my flock of Me- 

 rino Sheep on my farm, in Orange county, to over 

 800 I am now prepared to sell a few choice yearling Bucks 

 and Ewes. To all who hare any acquaintance with Col. 

 Henry S- Randall of New York, and the reputation of his 

 flock, it is only-necessary to say that the yearlings I pro- 

 pose selling are the product of ev/es purchased of him when 

 he sold out last, year, and selected hy him personally as the 

 best in his flock. I have his letters, saying that he was 

 offered tin same price for his ewes by his neighbors, but 

 that in starting the growth of fine wool in Virginia it was 

 very import nt to have good sheep, and as he knew these 

 were superior, he preferred selling them to go there. I 

 phall sell no bucks excep' such as show marks of supe- 

 riority. All who want to raise their flocks to a high stand- 

 ard at once will do well to apply early, as I have but a 

 limited number for sale. Address by mail, or npply to
