Improved stoek-IlIgh Grades.
That improved stock will nav sbou,d
no longer be matter of doubt by intel.
ligent farmers, for when we consider
that the world moves, thatimproyement
is the order Of this day and age. II orr
la in do not improve their stock they
VIII fall behihdhand, for tho time las
come when the stock is the mainstay on
the farm. Raising corn and oats don't
pay tho actual expense OF production,
unless 1t is marketed through stock, and
to successfully compete in the stock
markets against Kentucky and the East
the Western States must have improved
stock. II may not bepractical Tor all
farmers to raise thoroughbred cattle,
put we must Insist that 1t is both prlc.
tical md profitable for the Western
farmers to improve their stock, and in.
stead oil the common scrub stock mise
high grades. A half.bred Durham steer
Is pre-eminently better for beef than A
common scrub, will always command a
higher price, will mature earlier, and Is
sufficiently hardy to take the ordinary
treatment oil tile common stock OF the
farm, although farmers will always And
that 1t pays to take good care OF their
stock, MS some Of our most successful
stock men say that next TO having good

In few years farmers who get stock
OF half.breed short horns, seeing the
great benefits, will grade up higher and

grades that they will DO proud Of, and
that will DO moro profitable than scrub

true OF horses, sheep, and hogs. We

Patent Rights.
II is astonishing how many farmers
buy patent rights, +" with the idea that
they can make thousands and thousands
Of dsllars. The way it comes abont Is
thus: One man in a county will have
realized considerablefroIn patent rights,
and that will he sufficient to induce
others to attempt the same thing. Then
1t is only necessary for some stranger
with an oily tongue and trifling inven.
tion to come along, and they are ready
to take the bait, some even borrowing
money aud mortgaging the farms, sure
Of winning II all back. That farmers,
having common sense, md knowing BY
hard experience how dollars are won.
should be deluded in this way is a great
mystery, and It ia to be confessed TINT
they are only half made.
