Agricultural Patents.

No doubt farmers have derived meal
culable benefits through the inventions
Of mechanics and the work of the man
ufacturers of patented tools and imple-
ments. The number of patents which
have been granted for inventions which
relate to agricultural processes and
domestic apparatus and convenience
amount to many thousands. The fol-
lowing list numbers the most of them,
viz; Harrows and diggers, 2,421; plows,
$3.50; seeders and planters, 1908; har-
yesters, 5000; dairy appliances, 2,429;
fences, 1883; mills and machines for
thrashing, etc., 6,740; presses, ETC.,
2,708; implements for garden and or
chard, 682; management of cattle, ETC.,
1882; total, 30, $3.50. In addition to this
vast number there are 14,021 patents
relating to household matters in exist
enee, of which 1898 pertain to the
laundry, and 2,153 to beds and bed
ding. Besides all these, there are 1907
patents relating to baths and closets,
1856 to pumps, 3, 769 to water distribu-
ton, 5,254 to lamps an0 gas-fttino, and
8.238 to stoves and heating apparatus.
Very much of all the labor of brain
and hand in this mass of invention and
manufacture is doubtless of no practical
use; but, on the other hand, SO much
of it is of indispensable value to us, that
were farmers suddenly deprived of it
all agriculture would be brought to a
dead stop and the framework would
cease. Even the light, useful hoes would
have TO be dispensed with, and the
farmer would have to dig holes with q
sharp stick burned to point in the fire
to plant his corn and potatoes. While
we gratefully acknowledge all this, we
must, on the other hand, point to the
fact that the manufacturers ut least
ii not the inventors-haye been repaid
in munihcent manner, as hundreds of
millionaires who owe their fortunes to
their profits in this direction might
testify. So that while the farmers have
been benefited they have Cancelled all
obligation by having paid for everything
they have received, and, on the whole,
perhaps to the extent of three times or
more the actual necessary value to afford
a fair adequate return for benefits re-
ceived.
But at the same time the farmers
have been harassed beyond patient en-
durance by flock of vultures which
have lowered around this grand army Of
patentees, and have swooped down
upon them and made them prey. By
deceit and false representations articles
which have been fraudulently patented
or otherwise in some cases-have
been sold to farmers at full prices, os-
tensibly rs having been not patented.
and soon after claims have been made
for heterogeneous of the patents which
the farmers have been obliged to pay.
1t is this injurious operation of the
patent laws which farmers object to,
and all they ask is that the purchaser in
good faith of any patented article should
not be held liable for infringement, but
that this burden should be thrown upon
the real offender-the maker and seller
Of such articles. With this amendment
farmers would make no complaints in
regard to the present patent laws, al
though some other changes might be
desirable-M 7. Times.

The Best Filter.

The Japanese use porous sandstone
followed in the shape of an eor.
through which the water percolafes
into q receptacle underneath; the
Egyptians resort to similar device:
the spaniards use porous earthen pot.
But these and other similar contrivanees
cannot be thoroughly cleansed; after
the most thorough rinsing ,some impuri-
ties will remain in the pores of the
stone. Spongy iron aud carferal are
open to the same objection; they will
answer well for short time, but soon
become contaminated by pollution re-
tanned In their pores. Sponge, cloth
and felt, unless cleaned every day or
two with hot water, will do more harm
than good, and the average servant
girl will not clean them or any other
filter unless under the eye of her mis-
1ress.
The various forms of filters that are
screwed TO the faucet have only to be
hastily examined to be discarded. as
there Is not sufficient filteling material
IN them to be of much utility, and thew
very soon become foul and offensive.
Buck says: There isno material known
which can be introduced into the small
space Of tap-filter and accomplish any
real publication of the water which
passes through at the ordinary rate of
fiow.n
The various complicated closed filters.
nlled with any material which can not
be removed for cleansing, condemn
themselves. No amount OF PUMPING

which is at all likely to be used. can
cleanse them of the impurities that adj.
here to the mass and in the pores of
the filtering material used. Parkes. in
his Manual of Practical Hygiene. y
says: Filters, where the material is
eemented up and cannot be removed.
ought to be abandoned altogether.
The various metal filters in which
the water comes in contact with metal
lie surfaces. either iron, lead, timed
iron, or zine, are Objectionable from
their appreciable influence upon the
water retained in them for any eonsid-
cradle time. Pure block-tin IS least OBJ
Jectionable of any Of the metals.
