Superior to any other implement I have ever 
seen. 
1 have used it, with the best 
effect, upon corn-land in the 
spring. 
E. Clarke, 
Canwick, by Lincoln. 
By far the most valuable implement I have 
yet seen for this purpose. 
S. HoDGKINSON, 
Greetwell, by Lincoln. 
I have derived great benefit from it. Indeed 
I should not have got ^y fallows in order 
without your clod-crusher. Ou my strong clay 
fallows it has very much forwarded my work. 
I roll all my wheat with it 
after the frosts, and soon see a 
great change. 
J. G. Stevenson, 
Skellinj^tliorpc, 
by Lincoln. 
I consider the clod-crusher indispensable. 
got in order for turnips without it, or my neigh- 
bour's either, (o whom I lent it, and who will 
have one before another season. 
My wlieat has generally lost 
root in the winter and spring. 
Last year I rolled it as soon as 
drilled, and also early in the 
spring, and never had it so good. 
Frfdebick Straw, 
Skeilingthorpe, 
by Lincoln. 
Tlie most useful of all agricultural imple- 
ments, when the land is rough and out of con- 
dition 
J. B. Slater, 
North Carbon, by 
Lincoln • 
I consider your implement exceedingly be- 
neficial for this purpose. I broke up a piece 
of grass-land full of ant-hills^ a very rough 
field. After ploughing up the hills we used a 
heavy ox-harrow, and when dry employed 
your clod-crusher over the ground twice. The 
land was sufliciently pulverized to grow a 
good crop of turnips without any further 
ploughing. 
R. CoLLETT, 
^wmthorpG) by Lincoln. 
Invaluable. 
Very useful . 
R. S. Grabitrn, 
Brans\^ell Cottage, 
by Sleafbrd. 
I have had two of your clod-crushers in ex- 
tensive use, and find it admirably calculated 
for this purpose- I should feel greatly at a 
loss without its aid; also a great sa\ing of 
horse-labour is effected upon strong soils. 
When the weather will per- 
mit the operation, immediately 
after sowing the wheat, it gives 
great firmness to the soil, which 
is beneficial to the growing plant, 
discouraging to grubs, and gives 
a garden-like finish to the cul- 
tivation. 
H. Hanhley, 
Cuh erthorpe Hall, by 
Grantham. 
I have used your clod-crusher upon my 
strong clay farm, and found it very effective 
in preparing fallows, especially on taie-ground 
ploughed in summer after the removal of the 
crop. 
W. B. Winoate, 
1 lareby , 
by liolinf^broke. 
Your clod-crusher is a most useful and valu- 
able implement, and an article no one should 
be without, occupying strong and tenacious 
soils.
