THE NORMAL SCHOOL BUILD.
ING.

The Normal School building is reap
pearing with a new covering which
changes the whole appearance OF the
structure. The roof is built in most
substantial manner, combining perman-
ancy with beauty. 1t is yet to have
some additional ornaments which will
entirely change the present appearance.
There will be two towers, each forty
five feet from the present summit of the
roof, and iron ratings to surround all
the raised decks. The appearance in
the plan is very fine, and will render
the building far more imposing than
ever before. The roof proper will be
enclosed this week.

HOW THE SELF BINDERS ARE

(Erom the Farmers Review. Chicago.)
From 100 to 500 of the st. Paul Irvine
binders have been at work, large pro-
portion of them in Randolph county.
We hear of many of them in the vicini-
ty of Sparta. They have done exceed
ingly well, cutting from forty-five to one
hundred and sixty acres each, in a most
satisfactory manner. The demand for
them has been such that in several cases,
after cutting the purchasers crop, they
have been disposed of at full cost price
or above it to a neighbor, and have thus
done double service. It is thus that
machinery accomplishes work SO rapidly
that a large acreage can be cut and put
up before the grain becomes too ripe to
