Practical Opinions on the Effect 
YORKSHIRE 
Query 1 — Crushing Clods. 
Query 2 — Strong Lands. 
W. C. Hart.and, 
(Aucnt, Mr. FernieI, 
Sutton Hall, by York. 
A most useful implement ; by far the best, 
for this purpose, I have ever tried. 
I consider it valuable for roll- 
ing land as soon as sown ; \)ro- 
vidcd it is dry. 
Sir S. Crompton, Bart. 
(Aijent, Mr. Faint). 
Wood-Kud, by Thirsk. 
It effectually breaks down large clods, and 
puaiiles me to obtain turnips on land on which, 
without it, there would be no chance of grow- 
iug them. 
It answers well for rolling 
wheat, after seeds ; and also for 
rolling rough land before sowing 
barley, &c. 
.loHN HUTTON, 
Sowber Hill, by North 
Allertou. 
I find it most valuable for pri'paring strong 
land fortuniips; and have no doubt I shall 
be able to do entirely witlioiit summer fallow 
on my strong lands. 
I like it much for winter-sown 
wheat, rolling it in the spring ; 
it makes an excellent seam for 
cUiver-seed, particularly on 
strong land. 
W. RtfTSON, 
Newby Wisk, North 
Allertou. 
Most valuable. For crushing clods of any 
size, three horses work it readily, and enable 
me to prepare land much sooner than by any 
other means. 
John Fosteh, 
Newton, Bedale. 
It is invaluable for pulverizing the clods, 
letting out the seeds and weeds, when no other 
roller could be able to perform it in a dry 
season. 
It is invaluable for consoli- 
dating the land as soon as sow n, 
leaving an uneven surface, as if 
harrowed ; and in spring it fas- 
tens the root to the soil. 
H. Nicholson, 
Rand Grange, Bedale. 
A most excellent implement. I never saw 
anything to equal its effects. 
It is invaluable for rolling com 
previous to sowing with clover 
and small seeds. 
R. Bkioos, 
Eipley, Ripon. 
I cannot make use of terms too highly 
laudatory of its value and use under this 
head. 
Very useful in rolling wheat 
in spring, and more particularly 
after clover-seed is sown- 
J. Whitakek, 
Burley, Otley, Leeds. 
Of the greatest benefit when the land is 
ivy. 
H. Smith. 
Drax Abbey, Selby. 
Tlie most valuable implement I have seeu 
for strong land. 
It is very useful in spring, and 
when the turnip-land is hard. 
J. Brown, 
Wrangbrook, by Poute- 
fract. 
The best implement I have seen. 
Very valuable. 
C- Charnock, 
Ferry Brid;;«, by Hud- 
dersfield. - 
Exceedingly useful: in fact, I have often 
said it has enabled me to set the seasons at 
defiance. 
I have found it extremely use- 
ful on wheat, as soon as sown in 
the autumn, and again in the 
spring. 
Rev. T. Cator, 
Skelbrooke Park, by 
Doncaster. 
For limestone and stiff soil, one of the most 
useful implements in husbandry- 
R. Taylor, 
Goolthorpe, byTickliill. 
The best I have ever seen. 
It cannot be beat ; only mind 
the land is dry. 
E Thompson, 
Armin, by Howden. 
Very valuable when the land is dry. In 
some seasons I could not plant my potatoes, 
or sow turnips, without its application. 
J .Mecklethwaite, 
Ardsley House, by 
Bavnsley. 
A most valuab'e implement. It also pos- 
sesses one gre:it advantage, in not cutting or 
breaking tlie twitch.
