A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their bright
ideas and see what there is in them, the Press
Claims Company has resolved to offer prize.
To the person who submits to it
the simp est and most promising
invention, from a commercial point
of view, the company will give
twenty five hundred dollars, cash ,
in addition to retunding the fees
for securing the patent.
It will also advertise the invep-
ton free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following eondit-
ions;
Every competitor must obtain a patent for
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for preliminary search, the cost OF
which will be FIVE dollars. should this search
show his invention to be nnpatentable, he can
withdraw without further expense. Otherwise
he will be expected to complete his appli, alton
and take out patent in the regular way The
reau fees, win be seventy dollars For this.

bic property to him The prize will be award

ent attorneys OF Washington Intending com
petitors should fill out the following blank
and Onward it with their applications;

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost everybody has been
struck, at one time or another with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought
why dom the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passenger backs? ,
exclaims traveller "If l were running the
road would make them in such a way"
What was the man who made this sucepan
thinking OFF" grumbles the cook HE never
had to work over the stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar buttonr growls the man
who is late for breakfast IF | were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think of some
thing else. II they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity, put their ideas about
car windows saucepans. and ~ollar buttons in
to practical shape and then apply for patents,
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring, or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

item that should be looked after in
good season is that of providing a
good supply of bedding. Plenty of
bedding will not only help to in
crease the manure, but also to add
very much to the comfort and clean
illness Of the stock. 1t is best to
procure good supply and store un-
der shelter where it will be kept dry
and can be used as needed. Wheat
or oat straw makes the best bedding.
Enough should always be supplied
to absorb and retain the liquid
weddings and also to keep the stock
clean. In the stables care should
be taken to supply the bedding reg
ularly at night. Usually in the
feed lots the refuse stalks and ma
terial that the stock will not eat
will make all the bedding needed.
If it does not, it will be good plan
to scatter over it a good layer of
straw. With care in this way a
considerable quantity of valuable
fertilizer may be secured.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1893-09-16
Making Manure.

On nearly all farms Winter is
much the best season for making,
hauling out and applying manure.
The stock are nearly always kept in
close quarters and there is much
time for hauling out and applying
without interfering with the other
work.
But if the most manure is to be
made during the Winter, it is i'm
portant to arrange good quarters for
the stock, so that the feeding can all
be done in one place. Then by sup
plying bedding enough to absorb
all of the liquid weddings consid-
cradle quantity OF manure may be
saved.
A very good plan of management,
especially during the fall and early
Winter, is to shelter the stock regu-
larly at night and on cold, stormy
days and feed them hay, but when
the weather will permit turn them
out into the feed lots during the day
and feed them literally with corn
fodder. In this way an opportuni-
ty for exarcise is afforded them.
Nearly all stock, especially young,
growing stock, will keep healthier
and thriftier if they are given OPP
portunity to exercise. While it is
nearly always best to feed the corn
fodder in the feed lots rather than
in the stables or sheds, there should
be convenient racks or managers,
both in the feed lots and the stables,
in order to avoid waste. The stable
and feed lots for the Winter feeding
and sheltering should be arranged
for in good season so that when
needed they will be ready. Another

NO BLANKS IN THIS CONTEST

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or archte tura plan, all
the competitors riaking the loss of their labor
and the su ceas.ul one merely selling his for
the amount OF the prize But the Press Claims
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Eacn person is asked merely to help him
self, and the one who helps himself to the best
advantage Is to be rewarded for doing it. The
prize Is only a stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without it The

NOT SO HARD As 1T SEEMS.

A patent strikes person as an appallingly
formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be a natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems. and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get new device to a patentable degree
of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sires to dispel. 1t desires to get into the head
of the public clear comprehension of the fact
that it is not the great complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors, but the little, simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost OF
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit OF rubber cord to a
child's ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made a fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine is mi
racle OF ingenuity-the product of the toll Of
hundreds of busy brains through hundred
and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-Five Hun
dred Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner Has a Clear Gift of a
Small Fol- tune, and the Losers
Have Patents that May Bring
Them in Still More.

Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much at
tention to patents. 1t has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There is plen.
ty OF inventive talent at large in this country,
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results That encouragement the
Press Claims Company proposes to give
