XVII. — Practical Opinions on the Effect of CrosskilTs Clod- 
Crusher. 
Thinking that it might be useful to obtain from those who had 
used Mr. Crosskill's clod-crusher an account of its action upon 
their respective farms, I requested him to make the inquiry of 
them ; and the following Tables contain extracts from their 
answers, classed under five different heads. 
Ph. Pusey. 
Query I. — How far valuable for crushing clods, and for break- 
ing up the strongest fallows in the driest seasons ? 
YORKSHIRE 
Query 1 — Crnshing Clods. 
Query 2 — Strong Lands. 
H. S. Thompson, 
Kiiby Hall. 
For breaking clods after turnips, eaten on 
the land late in tlie spring, and on land in 
course of preparation for fallow crop, it is 
very useful, in at once reducing clods, so 
hard that the harrows made little impression 
on them. I consider your patent clod-crusher 
an exceedingly valuable implement. 
T. Almack, 
Bp. Burton, by Beverley. 
Invaluable. 
Thomas Jackson, 
Routb, Beverley. 
A mostvaluable implement. After breaking 
up my tenacious turnip-laud, I have had consi- 
derably finer and better crops than before. 
Very satisfactory. 
Thomas Dow \rsby, 
Holmpton, Holderness. 
I could not work my strong land to get it 
into a good st;ite without your clod-crusher. 
T. Wheatley, 
Neswick, Driffield. 
In the preparation of strong land, when par- 
ticularly hard, your clori-cruslier has com- 
pletely pulverized it, when uses of all other 
implemeuts lia^ e been vain. 
It is never used (0 more advan- 
tage than upon wheat, rolled in 
the spring; only let it be dry 
enough for its use. 
Rt. Hon. A. DuNCOMBE, 
Kilnwick Percy, by 
Pockliiigton. 
Upon some of my land, in a rough and bad 
state, we could not do without your crusher. 
R. Denxison, 
Kilnwick Percy, by 
Pocklington. 
Nothing can excel it. I have two of your 
patent clod-crushers in constant use. 
Very good. 
H. P. Cholmei.ey, 
Brandsby, by York. 
A most valuable implement for breaking up 
my fallow-land. We could get no turnips 
without the use of it. 
It reduces all the large clods, 
and brings the land into a very 
good state. 
Rev. S. CiiYKE, 
Wiggeuton Rectory, 
York. 
I consider it of the greatest utility. 
I have always rolled new-sown 
whenever tlie weather will al- 
vantage upon both soils.
