J, A. JONES.Wilmington, Dei, 
“ I was in my brother Tom’s wheat about a week ago, and 
I really believe there is one-third more wheat where it was 
drilled with your points. Tom told me he had measured 
some rows and found sixty-three heads in the same length 
of row, against forty-two of the old way of drilling.” 
H. CLAYTON (Pres. Citizens’ Nat. Bank of 
Middletown, Del., and farmer). 
“ I got five bushels to the acre more wheat where I drilled 
with your points than with the old style. I gave them a fair 
test, showing you no favor.” 
JOSHUA CLAYTON, Jr„ Mt. Pleasant, Del. 
“There were less small heads where 1 sowed with your 
shovels.” ALEX. UNDERWOOD, Mechanicsburg, Pa 
“I never cut such grain before. I can not keep from 
praising your points.” A. H. MARR, Milton, Pa. 
“ Have made the finest crop reaped since I have had the 
farm in hand.” LLOYD LOWNDES, Easton, Md. 
Chewsville, Washington Co., Md., Sept. 8,1880. 
“ I started two sets of your points in my fields to day 
(Nos. 4 and 5 1 , and had eighteen visitors to see them work; 
you should have been here to hear the praise; they worked 
to a etiarm. I would no more think of going back to the 
narrow points, than I would to the wooden mould-hoard.”

STEEL WIRE FENCE. 
Is the only general purpose wire fence in use. Being a 
stronu net-work without barbs, it will turn dogs, pigs, poul¬ 
try,as well as the most vicious stock,without danger to either 
fence or stock. It is just the fence for farmers, gardeners, 
stock-raisera, and railroads; very desirable for lawns, parks, 
or cemeteries. As it is covered with rust-proof paint it will 
last a lifetime. It is superior to boards In every respect, 
and far better than barbed wire. We ask for it a fair trial, 
knowing it will wear itself into favor. The Sedgwick 
gates, made of wrought iroD pipe and steel wire, defy all 
competition in neatness, lightness, strength, and durability. 
Ask hardware dealers, or for price list and particulars ad¬
