There are two kiuds of window glass one called "cylinder* and the other "plate*1 glass. All the large panes arc plate glafi, as the size of cylinder glasseannot be increased beyond a cer­ tain point. In thi6 kind of glass a cyl­ inder is blown; Chose who have been ta a glass house--apd 1 advise you, whenever you have an opportunity to fisit one and see how this wonderful material .is worked--know that to make a cylinder a glass is first blown. This then is worked Into a cylinder, fcy rolling it upon an iron tabic; after • cyliuder is made, its ends are cut oil, and it is divided lengthwise and flat­ tened out to form a fiat,smooth sheet. All plate glass is cast; a polished iron Uble has ledges at the side, as hl<;h as tlie thickness of the plate of g!a«s. The metal glass is poured upon this . and spread and flattened by '• a. copper roller. The plate is tfcen annealed; that is put into a *»ry hot furuoce, which Is so arrangod that the glass will cool very slowly. Jit order that It shall be tough, when, at the end of a week or so, it is cool. But the glass is no a' dull and rough, Dike that which you see in roofs and . Sky-lights. To become the beautiful ©late glas it must be ground and pol­ ished. Tlte plates are so arranged that they inay be rubbed together, one : tiPon the other, by machinery. First, ' eand and water are placed between Y. %ieua, theu emery of different sizes, and after b»lng ground with the flaest eatery, they are polished by rub- Viugtheiu with 6ome kind of polishiug harder American AyricaUurUL MlMMffl liT-;., - • • • -- • " jgjlrf i . 1" ; -1'^ --AND DEALER IN-- WATCHES.

It is an open secret, well known to the fanners of Mc­ Henry county, that during the last 12 years ours has been the only Agricultural Warehouse in the county where everything in our line needed on .the farm, from a pound of the best Barbed Wire to a Threshing Machine could be obtained at all times without notice. It was thought by those who knew us least, that the destruction of our Ware­ house by fire a year ago, would cripple us. Instead ot doing so, it has given us new life and vigor so that we are now better pre­ pared than ever before to under­ sell our (would be) competitors. Our Spring stock is by far the largest and best in the county, and we are selling so close that jt is a rare thing to see auy one looking at our goods and going awaj without buying. Our present exhibit consists of Plows, Harrows, Spring-tooth Harrows, ̂ Pulverizers, Hollers, Stalk (Juttera, 16 in.
