one fourth more than Ieould have Inads with the

'hree mel and the quality Is greatly mproted-being
more dense, and having a~srnother surface US ,000, 600
have been made with these machines at fsoxsackie.
The pastseason, and they have caused anenti9e revo-
luton in the brick manufacture. The machine works
like a charm. Numerous kinds have beer tried and
great expenses incurred. but no machine would work
orr clay successfully before we tried this. Now, none
Of our brick makers could be inducedto dispense with
them. "
The following from Messrs. Hoey Il B~yington, of
New Orleans, is added. TO show these machines will
work equally well in the Southa s iii Tie North.
We have ten of MI. HAIL. machines now in opera
tign, and are making preparation 10 start ten more

the above enflene ard would say fEller, thatlhis
machine is 10 simple In its construction that we have
nj difficulty In learning our negroes to operate with
this we consider one offs higEest ecorrlraendatiou
for Southern operation. Weshali be happy to show
these machines 10 any gentleman who will call at our
Brick Works in Hoeyville. near CarrolltoI
