One of my neighbours used the 
<!ru»lier upon several fields of light 
lands this spring, for the purpose of 
fastening his crops after frost, and for 
which purpose it has answered fully. 
I believe I saved a close of 
wheat from the ravages of the 
wireworm by the timely use of 
this implement. 
P.S. My clod-criisher hasbeen 
in such request tliat I have little 
doubt but most of our parishes 
will be induced to have one in 
common. This I recommend, as 
me crusher is capable iif doing an 
amazing amount of work. 
Invaluable. 
An effectual remedy. 
It answers remarkably well, and is 
a most valuable implement for this 
purpose; no large farmer ought to 
be without one. 
Tlie only appropriate implement. 
Decidedly very useful for this 
purpose. 
finest tilth imaginable was produced, so that the seed went in and 
the plants came up in the best order possible, whilst most of my 
neighbours were still waiting for the rains, without which they 
could not move, and waited so long that their plants where they 
showed themselves were weak, irregular, and, as a whole, a com- 
plete failure. 
It may, perhaps, be remarked that heavy lands are much more 
easily prepared for a root-crop by deep ploughing in the autumn, 
so that a winter's frost precludes the necessity of a clod-crusher. 
This I am quite ready to admit ; still, from repeated observations, 
I leel assured that spring-broken fallow-land, if worked when per- 
fectly dry, is much more certain to produce a full and healthy 
root-plant than broken land which has undergone the washing 
rains of a winter. Be this as it may, autumn cultivation cannot 
always be attended to ; or by some it may be deemed expedient to 
produce something for spring-feed previous to a root-crop, in 
which circumstance the crusher, in nine cases out of ten, will 
prove itself invaluable. 
If a writer who addressed the editor of the ' Mark Lane 
Express,' August 28, " On the Rotation of Crops on heavy Lands," 
had been acquainted with the use of the crusher, he would not
