that the defendants had unfairly, if not un-
lawfully, initiated it. @
We will quote two cases in which GER
tain business signs were held to be trade
marks. Some years ago there was res
taurant on Broadway, New York, which
displayed the sign Live and Let Live. y
The proprietor moved further up town,
using the same sign, and another party,
doing a similar business near the old stand
where the above sign had been displayed,
put up a sign with the same words; and
an Injunction was obtained against him.
| The second of these cases was that of a
dentist in Philadelphia who had used the
sign "Colton Dental Rooms" One of his
assistants left him and commenced prac-
tice on his own account, with the words
"Formerly of the Cotton Dental Rooms
on his sign and business cards, the words
"Colton Dental Rooms" being displayed
| in large letters, and the words formerly
of" very small. 1t was held by the Court
of Common Pleas of the above city that
| the. aforementioned party had infringed the
| first ones trademark, but he would not
| have done so had the words formerly OF
been in lettering as large as those OF the
words claimed as the trademark
We report on another page a decision
| given few days ago in New York court
on an application for injunction to restrain
certain parties from the use of the words
"dessicated Goldfish" The application was

Orchard and Nursery.

THE first thing to be considered is the
care of young trees already planted.
Domestic animals, if allowed access to
young orchard, will do much damage
Have fences and gates in good repair to
keep out ell intruders. 1o08
!. Mye-A mound of earth a foot high
should have been formed at the base oil
each young tree; if this was not done, see
that there is no litter near the tree to
afford them shelter. After a snow fall,
tramp the snow down solid around each
tree, whether it has mound of earth or
not This is some trouble, but if you
plant a. tree it implies contract to take
care of it Those having little trouble
with their trees are seldom bothered with
fruit & Ao a o9s 500
Rabbits are often worse than mice. The
old notion that rabbits would not touch a
tree that had been rubbed with the flesh
of one of their fellows has its foundation
in the fact that the animals have an aver
sion to blood. The blood of pigs or any
other animal, sprinkled on the lower part
of the tree, will answer as well as rabbits
blood. Cloth or stiff packing paper
wrapped around near the ground and as
high up as a rabbit will reach will keep
them off; this is slow work where there
are many trees. aHJiti laa~ 1898 sao
What to Plant, if new orchard is to
be set in spring, is worthy of serious con-
sideration. Many think that they have
only to determine what are the best varie-
ties and order them. The real question is,
What are the best varieties you can grown
Get the experience Of neighbors who
grow fruit, or of the nearest intelligent
and reliable nurseryman. If about to
plant for market, recollect that produc-
tiveness, regularity in bearing, showiness
of fruit, and an ability to bear Transports
ton, are all of as much more importance
than quality. Do not be taken with the
highly colored pictures shown by travel
ing statesmen.

Preventing WeeyiI in Wheat.


IT is said by those who have tried it,
that they never lost any wheat by weeVil
after sailing it. The wheat should be al
lowed to stand in the field in shock ten or
twelve days, when it should be threshed,
famed and sailed. Half a pound of salt
is the quantity generally used to bushel of
wheat. If the room, or granery, in which
the wheat is put away, is dry, by follow
ing this method of sailing, the wheat is
sure to keep WELL Wheat, when put up
in the usual way, will always diminish in
bulk as it gets old, and many persons con-
slider that it will not yield as much, or as
good flour, as when it was fresh from the
field. Be this as it may, the diminishing
in bulk, to which wheat is subject, is pre-
vented by sailing, in the manner above
stated The best salt adapted to this pur-
wha Salt" This salt is preferable on &C
count of its all disselying, and beirg soon
absorbed by the wheat. For the first
if Examined, will be found somewhat
damp; but if examined few weeks later,
it will in all cases be found perfectly dry,
having kept cool all the time.
The advantages claimed by those who
practice this mode of sailing and saving
wheat, are as follows ,..ssd ,.....-
1. 1t preserves the wheat with more
certainty than summing.
5 2. The wheat does not lose in volume, or
weight, by long keeping. - se,a;,
3. 1t makes more and better flour.
4. It costs much less labor. 4i t'e
q 5. The wheat is better for seed, because
it is preserved in a perfect state. There
is not enough salt in it to prevent it from
terminating but there is enough to
stimulate 1t to sprout vigorously. Burial

Deep Flowing Should be Done Gradu-
e e ally. 1922" 1893 q

A CORRESPONDENT of an exchange, who
has one of the finest and most productive
farms in Western New York, which he
keeps in high state of fertility by thor
ough cultivation and the growth of red
clover, makes the following remarks in re-
gard to deep blowing ga sudden bring
ing up to the surface of many inches of
clay, that has never been punctured by,
the roots of plants, and this too in the
spring of the year, would probably injure
the first crop. Clay subsoils are best
brought to the surface two or three inches
at a time, and that in the fall, so that the
frosts of winter may mellow them down.
The next spring pillow, say twice as many
inches as the clay subsoil is thick. This
would mix things mp so that even crop
Of corn would be much improved by the
deep fall blowing. If we had the power
and tools necessary to go on with this pro-
cess of brin cling up the subsoil to, and
mixing it with, the surface soil, until we
had one foot or more of mellow soil that
had been enriched by turning under re-
peated clover crops, and then under this
foot or more of soil, we could run sub
soil pillow two feet deep, and so break the
clay to depth of three feet, the clover
roots would have chance to bring to the
surface the fertility that now lies dormant
| under the surface of our lands. This is
the theory that have constructed on the
experience of life time as farmer and
have no doubt Of its applicability on our
lands here. / do not think it would do on
all lands, but it is practicable here, or at
least will be when we get the Steam Plow
that can do the subsoiling for us. In the
meantime we are doing the best we can in
the direction have indicated" as

Locating an Apiary.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Massachusetts
Poughneaaa, who keeps bees for profit,
says, in locating an apiary-"I would
rather have 1t in g. valley than upon a hill,
so that the bees returning laden could the
more easily and quickly return to their
homes. And | would have them arti-
fcially or otherwise protected from the
north and east winds. Each hive may also,
at certain seasons, receive protection from
the same quarter with thin board at
tached to that side Of the hive extending
in front sufficiently for that purpose.

busy season, they can easily alight with
out being blown to the ground before en-
tering. How often is this the case in
windy weather? | would have a cover
ing over each hive sufficient to protect
from severe rains and storms. The ground,
too, should be broken around the hives,
the weeds and grass kept down and clean
around them. | think it is an English
writer. Hush, that speaks of farmer in
East Irinstead, who had his hives placed
over his pig stye, and when expostulated
with, said his bees had got used to it, and
were he to remove them it would be of
much injury to them. His hives stood

Western Mounds.

MANY theories have been set up as to
the origin, object, and purposes of the
Western mounds. They seem to rise and
fall in accordance with the Ingenuity OF
the numerous writers on the subject. A
curious and novel idea has been made pub
lie by St. Louis Judge, relative to the
mounds on the American Bottom. He
argues that the locality of st. Louis and
its environs was once the bed of great
lake, supplied by the Missouri and Missis-
sippi, with an outlet at Niagara Falls. In
the course of centuries the barriers of the
lake at the falls were worn away, as the
present falls (the outlet at Erie) will in
time be- The great lake was thus drained,
and the region became cultivable. But it
was a dangerous region. When the ice
ran and the drift wood came down the
narrow passage below would gorge, and
the river would stand back on the former
bed of the lake.
To remedy this, a race Of people far
superior to the present Indians -probably
| the ancestors of the Aztecs-built the
mounds as places of refuge for themselves
and their focks and herds, when the water
rose. They were evidently built for prac-
teal purposes, and are clearly artificial
formations. They were not intended for
tunaulj (burial places) as no skeleton or
weapon has been found in any of them
except one skeleton, and that was wrapped
in Ia Mackinaw blanket. If we take into
account the "wear down" of all these
mounds for thousand years, and count
their numbers on both sides of the river,
it is easy to see they were once capacious
enough to furnish places of refuge for all
the inhabitants of the valley and their
focks and herds and provisions. Who
ever looked from the dome of the court
house Continues the judge and saw the
ferry boat take the inhabitants of the
American Bottom from the mound on that
side of the river, at the last great over
flow, will at once see the plain, practical
purpose of these mounds. sa

Pruning in winter.

SOME farmers seem afraid to prune their
fruit trees in winter, lest the frost should
enter by the wounds and damage the trees.
They need not fear any danger from this
cause, as the frost enters into every part
of the trees and thaws out again. Large
limbs cut off in winter or at any other
season give considerable check to the
yigor of the tree for the ensuing season,

Trade Marks.

We have frequent inquiries about the

A general impression seems to prevail
that the right in trade mark partakes in
some degree of the nature of a patent
but this is not the case. With the excep.
ton OF patents granted for particular de.
z Signs for trademarks, the United States
laws afford no protection to them; but
the common law as administered by the
courts of the several States recognizes as
a species of property, q new name, new
combination of words, or even letter, or
other device which constitutes a trade
mark, when it has become known upon
any description of merchandise made or
sold by any person, firm, or corporation
as species OF property, or even used on a.
business sign; and the owner will be pro-
tected against the attempts of others to
appropriate to themselves by its use the
dement, which such owner is exclusively
entitled to erJoy. 1t requires no proceed
