Castle Hill, Dec. 15. 1854. 



Col. Wm. B. Stouohton" : — Dear Sir : I take 

 pleasure in recording here my impressions of 

 the performance of your Plow (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 fur- 

 row 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 K. Nelson, J. H. Genell, J- H. 

 Lewis, C. B. Hopkins, Thomas Watson, of Lou- 

 isa, &c., all practical men and moj^t excellent 

 judges of agricultural implements, and there 

 was but one opinion among them as to the su- 

 periority and unexceptionable performance of 

 your Plow. 



Wishing you equal success elsewhere in ma- 

 king this valuable implement fiivorabl}^ known 

 to our agricultural brethren, I remain yours, 

 truly, AV'M. C. RIYES. 



Extract from a letter from a farmer in xim- 

 herst County, dated March 14, 1856. 



I have this evening made a trial of the Plow 

 you sent me. It meets my highest expectations, 

 too much cannot be said in its praise. Ap ly
