proved SUBSOIL GRUBBER,
He refers the reader to the following letter relating to the S*JB*OI:L GRUBBER.
ORMSTOWN, 15tk March, 1850,
DEAR SIR,—I promised when I purchased the Subsoil Grubber from you, that I would send you a
statement of its performance, as soon as I had finally tested it. Yoa know that farmers are more
ready to use an implement, and put its merits to a practical test, than to write essays; but I have been
so fully satisfied with the experiments I have made, and with the value of the Grabber, as an imple-
ment so essential to the proper cultivation of the soil in a climate like ours, that I feel I would not only
fail in my promise to you, bat also in my duty to my brother Agriculturists generally, if I did not
send you a statement, embodying the result of my experiments, and also of my opinion as to its uses
and adaptation. I have used the Grabber for many of the purposes to which it may be applied—in
all of which 1 have found it an implement kighly worthy of the attention of Agriculturists. In spring,
upon land which has been ploughed in the fall for summer fallow, and for tearing up and destroying
twileh-grass, it has fully exceeded my expectation ' T it can be used much earlier than the common
plough, opens the soil to a much greater depth, will do the work of six ordinary ploughs, and leaves
the soil so fine as to save an immense qnantity of labor in harrowing for summer fallowing and sub-
soiling. 1 find it the most valuable implement yet brought into use in Canada. Indeed I think that
no farm is complete' without a Grubber, which, where cultivation is carried on on a large scale, will
pay itself in one season, by the saving it will effect in the labor, to say nothing of the superior prepa-
ration of the soil. Two horses are sufficient to work the Grubber, except where there is a very stiff
elay soil, it may be necessary to put on a third one. I am,_dear sir, your obedient servant,
GEORGE CROSS.
