BARBED-WRE PATENTS

The Validity Of the Patents Held by the
washburn q Moen Manufacturing Co.
Anrmed by the United States Suprems
Court.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The validity
of the barbed-wire-fence patents held
by the Washburne & Moen Manufac-
turing Co, was affirmed by the SUI
preme court in q decision rendered by
Justice Brown yesterday. They were
involved in three cases appealed by the
Washburne & Moen Co. from the North
ern Iowa circuit court Two defences
were made to the patents In the trial of
the cases below, said Justice Brown, 81,
that il contained no new principle, other
patents having left no subject for in
vention; and, 9, that II was not patenta-
BILE for want Of novelty, similar fences
having been in use in Iowa long ago"
The testuiiony on the latter point,
the court says, was open to suspicion,
and while it may have been true that
something like the fence was used
prior to the date Of patent, the in
ventor made success out of what had
been a failure hitherto. As to the
merit of the invention. the courts say
the field was narrow, they yet believe
there was a point that was patentable,
and this point he covered. Any doubt
on the subject, the court say, they felt
like rendering In his favor. and they
therefore sustained the validity of the
patent The Judgment of the court be-
low is reversed and the cases remanded
for further hearing and accounting By

Oats are not half appreciated by the

give strength to mature animals like
oats, or growth to young stock. Ar
rangements ought to be in progress
now for seed of extra quality for the

be too cold for the crop which actually
does best in cold, wet season. Oat
hay is superior feed, and oat straw
and chaff are worth but little less than
fair common hay in the nutriments
they contain. Fed with little wheat
bran they winter stock equally well.
