at 5 guineas each; the same for beans or pease in two 
rows at from J to 2 feet, at4l. 10s. they are used on all 
sorts of land, and their use is increasing; he has made 
them for seven years from their first introduction, and 
now makes thirty a-year. They deliver the seed by 
means of a cast iron pinion, or voluted cylinder, not 
furrowed straight along the cylinder but obliquely, and 
the delivery regulated, and the furrows of the cylinder 
kept clear, by means of a brush. I examined several of 
them, they are neat and compact, and seem adapted to 
perform their business properly. Those made in Eves¬ 
ham are upon the same principle ; a leader, a holder, 
and one horse, will drill two acres per day. 
Mr. Knight, of Lea Castle, Wolverley, uses drill ma¬ 
chines made in the north, I believe in Scotland, for 
wheat, barley, vetches, and turnips. 
Carrot drill. —Mr. Knight also uses a carrot drill of 
the annexed form, not for sowing the seed, but for 
making drills, in which the seed is sown by hand. It is 
drawn by a machine, and makes three drills at a time, 
two of which are sown by women following, the vacant 
drill is occupied by one of the fangs of the implements 
on its return, thus gaging the distance: the drills are 
made twelve inches asunder. 
I find upon farther consideration, and upon a review 
of Mr. Knight’s pi'emises, that his drill machines for 
sowing turnips are of the Northumberland construction, 
as introduced by Messrs. Bailey and Co. and the same 
construction
