1538 DDestription of Mr. Cooke's Dridl Machine.[Sept

Seed wheat Should be limed and brined two or three days before it is used, and made dry by Sspreading it thin on a boarded ßoor to prevent its heating, 50 as to kill the Sced: iF «eed wheat is fresh limed and brined, the line by acting as ces Ment may cause it toclog in the cups. IHFthis Shouid happen upon the field in hazy, foggy weather, 830 much unlined wheat as wil] make it Separate may be mixed therewith.

Wheat Should not, on any account whatever, be deposited more than two inches deep,(one inch and a half is recom- monded,) in Strong clays or wet soils, nor less than two imehes deep in all dry Soils. The most approved depih Is already as» Certained in Soils of different textures only by observing at what depth under the Surface of the oil tbe SeCONAary OP COr= ronal fibres of plants are formed in the SPr1Do.;

Lands formed in level ridges four feet Six inches wide ex- Clusive of the furrows in Strong retentive clays, and wet 50115, and nine feet Six inches wide exclusive of the furrows in all

* ArySoils, are best calculated for the practical purpose of drilfſing, in which case the horse will always go in the turrow without Setting a foot upon the land,'!

Land intended to be drilled with carrot Sced Should be Ploughed deep, and for every hall aer« ot land one bushel of Saw-dust, and one pound of carrot Seed, Should be provided.

The Saw-dust must be well dried and Siſted, to take out all the lumps and chips, and divided into eight equal parts or Dpeaps."The carrot seed must likewise-be well dried, but not 30 as to kill the Seed, and rubbed between the hands to take off the beards that it may more readily separate; and being also devided into eight parts, one of the above parts of 5aw- dust and a part of carrot Seed must be well mixed and iwcor- Pporated together, and 80 on with all the respective portions of Saw-dust and carrot Seed, till they are properly com- bined; in which state, in the Saw-dust with the carrot Seed intermixed may be drilled with the cups or ladles No. 2, already described. Carrot Seed rezembling- Saw-dust very much in Size, roughness, weight, adhesion,&c. being well mixed with Saw-dust, will remain 80 mixed during the Sowing. One of the cups, No.2, filled with Saw-dust, upon an average, contain three or four Carrot Sceds, by which means carrot Seed will be as regularly distributed in the drills as any other grain or Seed whatever.

If the wind Should be bigh when carrot or any other Seeds be s0wn, it may be necessary to fix a scieen of mat or canvass before the Seed-box, to keep off the wind; by this, and two Side wings SS, the Seed will be perfectly Screened trom wind or rain.

'Such is the description ofthis valuable machine, Our rea» ders ought to be apprized that it cannot be employed on land
