 Then and Now.
 Some years ago the engineer at steamer 6'f house on Edwards street, MT. Sherdman, in- vented an automatic horse feeding apparatus which was so arranged that the horses were fed when the hands of the clock reached 6 certain point on the dial. The arrangement worked to perfection and was carefully de- scribed in the COURIER at the time. It at. tracted considerable attention and was warm ly commended as a valuable invention. A delegation from the Hartford fire department came down and examined the invention and pronounced 1t 8 most useful arrangement Mir. Sherdman neglected to take out patent. A few days ago he received circular from { Brooklyn company, which has a capital o1 800, GOO, setting forth the advantages of ar automatic feeder it is manufacturing. Int apparatus is substantially like Mir. Sherd. mans old invention on which he took out nt patent.
