The following are a few, amongst many Testimonials, from gentlemen who 
have worked the Drill upon their own farms : — 
" StourJiead, Nov. 22nd, 1847. 
" Dear Sir, — According to my promise, I have to-day drawn four drills 
[at 27 inches] of turnips, two of them side by side, the otiier two in differ- 
ent parts of the field : the weight of the two drills with the liquid manure 
was 7 cwt. 16 lbs. ; the other two drills, which were manured with a com- 
post of horse-dung, charcoal, ashes, and sweepings from the piggeries, 
weighed 1 cwt. 2 qrs. 12 lbs., showing that the one bushel of dissolved 
bones, diluted with the overflowing of the manure-tank, has given 620 lbs. 
above the compost, which was applied after the rate of 3^ qrs. per acre. 
" Sir Hugh Hoare desires me to order two drills, one for this farm, and 
one for Bucks. 
" I am, dear Sir, yours truly, 
" C. Cardwell, 
" Mr. T. Chandler, Stockton." " Farm Agent to Sir Hugh Hoare."
