Tanning Lamb.skin with the Wool on

Make strong soap-suds, using hot water;
when it is cold, wash the skin in it, carefully
squeezing it between the hands to get the
dirt out of the wool; next, dissolve alum and
salt, of each half a pound in little hot water,
which put into tub of cold water sufficient
to cover the skin, and let it soak in it over
night or u hours; now hang the skin over a
pole to drain when well drained spread or
stretch carefully on board to dry. 1t need
not be tackled if drawn out several times with
the hand while drying. When yet a little
damp, sprinkle pulverized saltpetre and alum,
ian ounce each mixed together) on the flesh
side, rub it in well. 1t is now to hang in the
shade two or three days, the flesh side in
until perfectly dry. When entirely dry,
scrape the flesh side with blunt knife to
remove any scraps of flesh. Trim off the pro-
iecting points, and rub the flesh side with
p1mice or rotten stone, and with the hands.
Prepared in this way, it is white and beauti-
full, suitable for door-mat, and also nice for
the feet in sleigh or wagon in cold weather.

Programme for the Gala Fay OF tho
Fair-Awards apd Display s-Notes.
The day yesterday was bright aud
genial, and although the roads were
muddy the attendance at the fair was
by far the best of any day during the
week, the number OF visitors being
variously estimated from two thou.
sand to twenty-five hundred The
ten hours of exasperatlng rain We'd
nesday afternoon and night rendered
the track to heavy for use, and that
part of the programme had to be post !.
poned until to-day, the gala day of
the fair.
The hall WAS thronged from noon
till night. Exhibitors in the main
building now have their display COM
plete and the array Is fine one. In
the rotunda additions have been made
Ia specimens of painting, drawing,
etc., and the exhibition attracts much
attention.
The machinery department is In
trim, and the exhibition is.conceded by
visitors from abroad, and newspaper
men, to be the largest and most com
plete ever made in Texas. No less
than fourteen steam engines were at
work during the afternoon running
farm machinery, a gin, feeder and con-
denser, a complete cotton cleaner,
steam power cotton press, two Touring
mills, harvester, binder and mower,
grain fan and threshing- m achine being
of the number actually at work. The
display In plows, carts and wagons is
equal to that at the late fair in st.
Louis.

manufactured by Allison Bros, OF Menu
phls, Tennessee, that makes good cot.
ton out OF trashy cotton. Then fol-
lowed u portable grain mill man.
ufactured by Charles .Kaestner n Co.
OF Chicago, grinding grain. Then fol.
lowed the model Touring mill made by
the same firm-this was q complete
mill set In u large glass frame per-
forming I'LL the functions OF n regular
Touring mill, II seemed TO captivate
all the sight heers.
Then followed the .Dlckey Fan Mil,
manufactured at Wisconsin,, Mr..
Marcher gentleman well versed In
this line Of goods was in charge This
Ia an old tanning mill and more gem
orally used than any fan made in the
United States. We suggest to our farm
era to examine this fan. Then came
the celebrated Marsh harvester, binder
and mower, the most important har-
vesting machine demanded by our
farmers. The harvester aud binder did
splendid work, and bound the grain
satisfactorily. Then, last, came Faughts
Deering horse power and the Nichols,
Shepard ~ Co. vibrator thresher, The
latter, under the skillful management
of Mr.. Ed. Nichols, has n worldwide
reputation. The Faughts Deering horse
power did it's work well, and as u
cheap and good power will be gener.
ally used by our farmers of medium
means. We possibly may have given
too much space to this almost un.
equaled display; hut IL was proud
day for Dallas-the display Of c. =.
Mitchell n Co. was an honor to our
state.

1t become our pleasing duty as a
faithful reporter to now refer to the OK.
hibition OF the great agricultural house
of G. 3. Mitchell Il Co. ofthis city. We
make the bold assertion, and our con-
victions are based all actual knowledge,
and by common statements OF gentle-
men here from Chicago and ST. Louis,
that the display Of agricultural imple-
ments by this house is not inferior to
any exhibition made by any one firm
at the Chicago exposition, or ST. Louis
fair. The firm il composed OF Colonel
9. S. Mitchell, aud Major ]. b. Scruggs
southern men--whO went through
the ordeal that tried mems souls, and
for years identified with important
business interests in Texas. The bus
mess OF this house Is co extensive with
the state. We called to see these gen
tlemen to post ourselves, but found
them 800 busy to go into details. Their
building covers seventy five by sixty
feet, and is built in amphitheater style.
First, on platform near the ground,
stood "a Hero upright engine; then u
side seven by ten agricultural engine
on wheels then ten horse power on
skids; then a ten horse power engine
tap mounted on wheels; then tap
mounted engine acting rs stationary;
in all, i've different styles, and such
display, we unhasitatingly say, was
never equaled in the west. These en-
gines were manufactured by that old
established factory, Ames Iron Work,
of Oswege, New York.
These engines were perfect models OF
thorough work, and the most imposing
display on the grounds. Then upon n
platform just In rear OF engines, and
three feet higher, came the Kentucky
Grain Drill, manufactured by Brennan
d Co. of Louisville Kentucky-the
only drill we are assured that works
satisfactory In our sticky black land, and
10 trashy ground. Then followed hor'
rows, wheel barrows, cotton and corn
planters, scrapers and feed cutters, corr
shelters, bsgging and ties, Victor ant
Great Western Cane Mills, wagons
hay rakes, &c. Then back Of this plat
form, and two feet higher, came thu
grand display Of plows, manufactured
by Is. ID. Buford & Co. Of Rock Island
Illinois-the largest and most magnih
cent display We ever saw, aud evident
ly cotton up for this occasion.
We met OH this platform Mr.. George
manager ofthe st. Louis house for tn,
sale of the Rack leland Plows, and tn
! way he talked plows was astounding
