The sugar harvest is almost
over, and the managers OF plan
tations are directing the repairs |
on old plows and making their /
selection of new ones. We be
lieve we have IN our Hendry |
Breaking Plow the best that has
ever been sold in this or any
other country. 1t is constructed
on the principle Of highest
draught, compatible with great
est strength. We have sent
Hendry Breakers to a great
many plantations and have never
had a complaint. The fact that
a pillow can be drawn by two,
and sometimes tour animals less
than any other breaking pillow
commends it to the economical
manager.
The same good words that
come to us from people who use
the Breaker reach us from par
ties having our Hendry Double
Furrow Plow. In this the idea
of the inventor was to secure a
mould board that would turn the
sod well over and leave the tur
row clean and ready for plant
ing and irrigating, We know
of no other pillow where such
good results have been attained
as in the Hendry Double Furrow
Plow. In most instances where
we have sold one of these plows
others have followed; a positive
evidence of their character.
While this is the blowing sea-
son it is likewise the time OF
year when attention is given to
repairing old fences and building
new ones. 1t is not necessary
for us to dwell upon the superior
qualities OF the Jones Lock
Fence beyond saying that it is
the cheapest wire fence in the
market. Mr.. ]. Monsarrat tells
what he thinks of it in the fol-
lowing letter:

nearly impossible to get a post

especially the "Jones Fence
was a great saving Of labor.
There are places in this fence
where the posts are at least Is
feet apart, and the space be
tween filled with stays. There
is no sag to it, and it is as springy
as a wire mattress. | am con
fidcnt that it will turn any ordi
nary stock. | have some two

sured that 1t will turn most any
thing, except lava flow.

The system of course, lacked those features
which are to be found in established perma-
nent Notifications elsewhere. For instance,
hurriedly erected, as the majority of the forti-
ications were. in the haste and excitement of
impending danger, there was lack of co-ordina.
tion of plans and symmetry of designs. which,
in the latter years of the war necessitated ad-
ditional work to make the earlier forts conform
to the general plan recommended by the En-
gineer Board.
AT last, however, after nearly four years of
anxious toll, and the expenditure of over a
million dollars, there was evolved from the
experimental and temporary system of isolated

Barnard. was described to be "a connected

of which no man could tell 1t was, indeed q
time of vital emergency when the iron hand
and strong will of Secretary Stanton were
needed.
In the Autumn of 1862, despite the prohib-
itory act of Congress against the erection of any
new Notifications around Washington, Secre-
tary Stanton appointed commission of such
eminent military men as Gems. Totten, Meigs
Barry, Barnard, and Cullum to report upon
the completion of the forts and sufficiency of
the general exterior defenses of the city. That
commission was the author of the defense line
of the National Capital as it existed at the
close of the war. and for which the Union cause
had Secretary Stanton and his military adj
visers alone TO thank.
1t was a system, according to an eminent
military writer, wherein. when completed,
"the works either reciprocaly ianked each
other, or at least the approaches to any one or
