A VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-Mr. Charles l..
Gorrell, of this county, has secured the patent
right for II simple and ingenious device for feed
ing and watering stock cattle in ralli oud cars,
thereby avoiding the labor of removing them
from the cars when it is necessary TO feed them
On the outside of each car on both sides are
three racks, hinged at the bottom, which ty
neousy lowered to the requisite angle to con-
tain hay or fodder. When not in use they lie
close to the side of the car. By another arrange
nent water trough can be lowered from the
top of the car to any required height on the
side, to accommodate either cattle or sheep
These troughs can ali be coupled together and
all be filled at the same time from water tank.
Besides, there is an arrangement consisting of
a hood, which protects the racks when open ard
filled with hay, from sparks from the engine
Mr. Gorrells device takes up no room in the
car and appears entirely feasible Some years
ago, 1t is said, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company offered reward of IS, 600 for Il practi.
cal device of this kind, and although inventors
set their wits TO work none of them have pro.
duced anything approaching Mr.. Goriell's in.
venton in answering the requirements. Mr.
Goirell has formed partnership in his inven
ton with Messrs. A. B. and o. Whitaker, Of
Bel Air. A working model has been made and
the invention will be shown to the railroad
companies. 1t appears TO be valuable inyen
| ton and its owners ought to realize u large sum
of money from its sale.
