Among the hundreds of testimonials we have from practical farmers and planters, we w r ould call attention to the following ex tract from a letter received from Col. B. G. Loekett, of the large planting firm of Jordan & Lockett, da ted Albany, Ga., Nov. 27, ’69: “ Before closing this letter, I cannot refrain from expressing my sincere thanks to you, for the invention of the best plough now in use. It is the delight of the negro. Besides doing the best work I have ever seen any plough do, it runs with more ease to the ploughman, and the draught to the animal is lighter than any plough I have ever seen. Your plough has already become a neces sity to me, and I would feel ruined without it. lam satisfied we have saved thousands of dollars annually, “iirmuleiTalbbe. It is the cheapest plough I have ev er used of any kind or description. lam anxious to bring, if I can, to the notice of my fellow planters this most valuable plough.” Col. Lockett commenced the use of these ploughs in the spring of 1868, and now has more than 250 of them on his plantation. We have testimonials as em phatic from other leading farmers in North Carolina, jSouth Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Texas, of which the following are specimens : Warsaw, North Carolina; July 11th, 1868.
