Mr. George f. Patterson, of Baltimore, for
merly a conductor .On the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, has patented an invention for
watering and feeding stock. in transit over
rolrOads THAI promises To be as useful from a
business point of view as humane from anOth
er standpoint. II consists of substituting a
sliding bar for the fixed Stats now in use on
stock cars, and attaching 1t to acclaim and pull
ley, so that II can be raised or lowered at will
from the outside thus giving asuflicient open
ing for the cattle to put their heads out of the
car. The inventor proposes to have frame
erected at regular water stations along the line
of the railroads. and from frame 20 suspend
a sectional water trough, capable of being low
cred to the level Of the opening made, by lift
ing the movable bar in the side of the car, SO
that by SIMPLY turning into the trough the
hose used IN supplying the locomotive tanks
with water, all the cattle on train OF twenty
cars or more Can be watered at the same time,
and without any manual labor whatever on
the part of the tranmen. BY attaching rack
instead of a trough, the cattle can, of course,
be fed IN the same way AS 1t will cost the
merest trlfle to alter the regular stock cars so
that this device can be applied, It's utility is
apparent. 1t frequently happens now that cat
tie during transit are compelled to go without
water for 81 or 3G hours and the invention,
therefore, is likely to meet with favor from hu-
monp societies
