THE PICTURE WINDOW.


something About the Most Critical stage.
In Its Development.
The search for material ended. the
work OF construction may begin. 1--WE
duplicate copies Of the cartoon arc
first made. One operation suiiices TO
accomplish this. The cartoon is laid
on IA large table, and beneath il are two
sheets Of similar paper and two sheets
of ordinary black transfer paper ar.
ranged alternately. BY passing a
small revolving wheel over the out
lines of the cartoon. the t"acings arc
quickly and accurately made. Each
space is then numbered corresponding
ly on both tracings, and one of them
is cut up to make patterns for the
glass-cutier. An ingenious dissecting
instrument is used for this purpose.
II consists OF pair Of doublc-edged
shears, which, in cutting, removes a
strip Of paper just the width Of the
lead which will separate the fragments
Of glass when they arc finally bound
together. In this way each pattern i
precisely the size required. When the
glass i ready to be put together n the
window, there is very little coaxing to
be done to get it into place.
The picture window has now reached
the most critical stage in its develop
ment. The paper patterns are to find
suitable counterparts in glass, and
upon the nicely with which this sub.
stitution is accomplished depends the
effect OF the entire work Nothing il
left undonc that will assist the glass
cutter ir forming correct colOr-judg.
ments. Throughout the entire proc.
ess. and here particularly, the work
progresses under precisely those con-
ditions that are best calculated to
make surprises and incongruities i'm.
possible when the whole shall be com.
plctcd. A sheet of plain glass, the
size of the cartoon, is laid over the un'
dissectcd tracing. Outlines Of the in.
tended lead bands are then painted: or

Over the Common Red.

ADVANTAGES
Over the Common Red.
Until within few years not one
farmer in hundred in Southern Ohio
sowed any other variety Of clover
than the common red: but for some
years past the mammoth, or pca-vinc,
clover has been grown extensively.
and within the last three years the al
sike has been sown TO some extent,
and will, l believe. be sown largely ir
the future. have sOwn both these
varieties, and believe that there is a
legitimate place for them in our
farming. ! believe, when the main
object of sowing clover is to increase
the fertility OF the soil, that the MAN.
moth is the best variety TO SOW. II
makes a much heavier growth, and
shades the land more perfectly than
the common red and furnishes more
hahn TO pillow down. II is not so good
for hay as it is OF coarser growth, and
more likely TO be damaged BY lOdg-
ing; yet this can be said in its favor.
that 1t will give nearly double the
quantity, and. as il is cut nearly 4
month later, it is a better season 70
cure it, and l have had some Of The
most profitable hay crops ever made
from this variety OF clover three
tons Of cured hay TO the acre, which
fed out as satisfactorily as any hay
ever had.
In dry summer this will make a
most satisfactory crop, for 1t will get
a start in the spring, which shades the
ground and protects the roots. and
will make very heavy growth and
still stand up, and can be cured on,
perfectly. In exceedingly wet seasons
it will make very heavy growth and
lodge. and then turn up and make a
second growth. and will make very
poor hay, and it is best then to cut it
for seed, for the machine can be set to
cut high and leave a large amount Of
the straw on the land to bic plowed un.
der. This clover seeds in the first
crop and makes heavier yield of seed
than the common red. As far as my
observation goes, estimate that it will
yield about onc-fOurth more, averag.
ing four bushels OF seed to the acre.

there may be sad havoc played with the
employees of the court house, who, &C
cording to Judge Egan's opinion, have
not been legally appointed, or at least
appointed by body not legally consti-

may see fit to fire these employees

under the right to which they accede to
office they have the power to do. When
the old committee employed some of the

that portion of the force should be dis
charged July 10, when the district
court will formally adjourn for the sum-
