Eggs are now selling at 35 cents per
dozen, and in the cities still higher. Moi
long since we read of the death of one OF
the millionalres OF Cincinnati, says IN ex-
change. and "a sketch of his life related
that the foundation of his fortune was
made in raising poultry and eggs for the
Cincinnati market. For many years he
and his wife, on small area OF land in
the vicinity of the city, made that their
business, selling eggs at 4 cents dozen
and poultry at TO cents "a head. At
such rates they made a living and money
which resulted in great fortune. The
raising of poultry and marketing Of eggs
is an important part of farmers business.
where farming is diversified and the far
mers thrifty, but generally ii is considered
a small business and is neglected. There
is no section Of the world more favorable
for raising poultry than ours and no.
where in the world are better prices
paid for the products, but, nevertheless,
hundreus of thousands of dollars are
sent annually to the east for poultry and
eggs. So great is the business that trains
OF cars arc made tor the single purpose.
1t appears that our farmers should be able
to supply this demand. Why is it that
tie farmers OF Illinois. Iowa aud Kansas
Can probably sell eggs on this coast at
rates % to ~ per cent. less than our far
mers? The Washington farmer can
raise all that Kansas farmer can and a
great many other things besides, and can,
therefore, come nearer raising his own
food. He can. therefore, raise pOultly
and eggs cheaply and with much greater
profit. This business can and should be
largely extended.-Orting Oracle.

Progress Of Inventions Since 1916.

In the year 1915 the present owners
of the Scientific American newspaper
commenced its publication, and soon af-
ter established bureau for the procur-
ing of patents for inventions at home and
in foreign countries. During the year
1915 there were only 500 patents issued
from the U. s. Patent Office, and the to-
tai issue from the establishment of the
Patent Office, up to the end of that year,
numbered only 4,347-
Up TO the first OF July this year there
have been granted 406.413. Showing that
since the commencement of th publica-
ton of the Scientific American there have
been issue from the U. s. Patent Office
4O2, 1876 patents, and about one third more
applications have been made than have
been granted, showing the ingenuity of
our people to be phenomenal, and much
greater than even the enormous number
of patents issued indicates. Probably
a good many of our readers have had
business transacted through the offices of
the Scientific American, in New York or
Washington, and are familiar with Mum
IL Co.'S mode of doing business, but
those who have not will be Interested in
knowing something about this, the Oldest
probably in the world.
Persons visiting the offices Of the Sci
entific American, 36I Broadway, N. Y,
for The first time, will be surprised, on en-
tering the main office, to find such an eX-
tensive and elegantly equipped establish
ment, with its walnut counters, desks and
chairs to correspond, and its enormous
safes, and such a large number of
IL ,rl, f;po
clerks, all busy as bees, reminding one OF
a large banking or insurance office, with
its hundred employees.
The firm commenced the business Of
soliciting patents in connection with the
publication Of the Scientific American,
more than forty years ago, and has made
application for patents for upward of one
hundred thousand inventors in the Uni
ted States, and several thousands in diff
erent foreign countries. and had filed as
many cases in the Patent Office in a single
month as there were patents issued dur
ing the entire frs; year OF their business
career. They have seen the Patent Office
grow from sapling TO L sturdy oak, anu
the Scientific American, with its large
circulation, has performed no mean share
il stimulating inventions and advancing
the interests OF the Patent Office. But. it
is not alone the patent soliciting that oc
cupies the attention of the Ole hundred
persons employed by Mum & Co.. but a
large number are engaged on the four
publications is ued weekly and monthly
from their office, 3Gl Broadway, N. Y,
viz: The Scientific American, the S;i-
enlific American Supplement, the Export
Edition OF the Scientific American, and
the Architects and Builders Edition of
the Scientific American. The first Two
publications are issued every week, and
the latter two, the first of every month.
