Malleable Glass.

NJ. de la Bastic, who is rich gen.
tleman residing at his chateau in
France, with the assistance cf a learn
ed and experienced chemist, has sue
ceeded, after q long series Of scienti.
6c experiments during nearly six
years, in discovering the process oi
making malleable glass, which, in.
stead Of being brittle, is as ductile rs
copper or iron. Samples Of it have
been presented to scientific institu.
tions, and the news Of this great dis.
covery is spreading rapidly in France
England, Prussia, and America. De
la Bastle, in order TO secure for him.
self the benefit due to long, persever.
ing and successful efforts, is forming
company and has taken patent
| right for his discovery. A large
building for the manufacture Of said
glass has been commenced at q cosA
Of S625,O0O. The building is Isl
yards by 100 yards in depth. It ha'
been assured that utensils, such y
frying pans, ETC., can be used on
hot range, and will resist the 6re jus
as well as iron or any other METAL
Also glass chimneys for lamps ant
gas burners are made and viii no
break. In fact, there is no limit 4
the variety of articles which can b.
made of malleable glass.

The question Of farm fences is be-
coming serious question in other
States as well as Iowa. In Maine,
where nearly one half the State il
covered by pine forest, they are fig
uring up the annual cost of fences, and
inquiring if there is not better way.
Mr.. Prince estimates that there are
G3,956 farms in that State, which
average 500 rods of fence on each
farm, the repairs of which average ten
cents per rod per year, or "a, 1897 600.
And this is constantly increasing with
the advance in the price Of wood and
timber, and they contend that soon it
will become too burdensome to bear.
Other States are also looking SER
iously to this question, and it is evil
dent the day is not distant when .
man will not have to do with his farm
As they did with their residences in
feudal times, make every house .
castle. The world is. advancing, and
and the law compelling man to
fence against his neighbor's stock viii
soon be classed with the law sending
a man to prison for the reason that
he was unable to pay his debts.
In Iowa we believe no county, after
trying the herd law, has gone back
on their first decision adopting it. In
Grundy county after having the law
legally in force two years, ut the last
election they voted to retain it by a
vote Of only eleven votes against it
out of eight hundred. The sudden
change Of the law finds many unpre-
pared for it, and in those counties
where it was adopted last fall for the
first time many who live along the
rivers and have never dreamed Of
having pastures for their stock will
find it hardship. No harder, how
ever, than the poor man on the prai-
rie who owns his eighty or one hun
dred and sixty acres and could not
improve it, owing to the great cost of
fencing. Soon the people Of those
coun les ust entering upon the new
way Of living will have pastures
their stock will be easily found, their
time can be spent at profitable indus
try instead OF ranging after cows,and
their neighbors crops will be safe. Il
would be well for all farmers this
winter to be preparing fences for pas.
lures, whether in herd-law county
or not. And in those counties where
the law is in force, those who are able
will find it convenient and comfort.
able to have their farms fenced in
suitable lots. Some are arranging
for movable fence SO that adyan
tage can be taken of pastures for hog,
and cattle, as the crops on the farm
change. Shere are several kinds o.
movable fence which can be manu-
facturcd in winter, and miles of it pu
out in the spring in few days.
