In liotli cases I think it cxeeedinsly 
uselu). In the last spring I h^d a 
j'iece of wlieal upon rather liglit, 
tiiin, suilud clialk'land, whicli was 
lierceplibly losing plant every day 
from the elVects of the winter's frosts. 
As soon as the weather permitted, 
w hicli was in the last w eek in March, 
1 had it rolled with yonr crusher, 
after whicli it began regularly to im- 
prove, and now Is looking very well. 
The large iron roller would in such 
an instance as this do no good what- 
ever, but rather harm, as by mi'rely 
going over the surface it pulverizes 
the light top si/il, without giving the 
necessary adhesiveness to the plant ; 
and should dry w'indy weather ensue, 
the plant is bared, and left in a worse 
condition than before, whereas the 
action of your clod-crusher is similar 
to that of treading with sheep, going 
down to the root of the plant, and 
leaving it lirm and secure. 
Had no experience. 
Had no experience. 
I have found great benefit from 
using it also upon light lauds soon as 
sown, and in the spring after frost. 
I consider it infinitely preferable to 
any roller, as it lea\es the land with- 
out a smooth surface. 
Upon a comparison of the state 
of my t'.irm before the use of the 
patent clod-crusher, and subse- 
quently, I am bound tu state that 
the wire worm and grub have 
been much less prevalent- 
Of great advantage. 
Many crops are saved from the 
wireworm by this implement. 
Quite satisfactory. It does im- 
mense execution in breaking 
down. 
It produces a fine turnip-mould 
which retains moisture, and in- 
duces a quick and re^lar growth 
of the plants, and prevents the 
ravages of the fly. 
Of great advantage for this purpose. 
Very useful for this purpose.
