NO BLANKS IN THIS CONTEST.

| This Is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture. or architectural plan, all
the competitors risking the loss OF their labor
and the su. cess'ul one merely selling his for
Company's offer is something entirely differ
.ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
self. and the one who helps himself to the best
advantage is to be rewarded for doing 1t. The
| prize Is only stimulus TO do something that
would be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for club
house on certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something OF very little use
TO him. But the person who patents simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Compa-
nys competition. need not worry II he fail to
| secure the prize He has a substantial result
| to show for his work--one that will command
its value in the market at any time.

daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who stud

Get rid of the idea that an improvement can
be too simple to be worth patenting The
simpler the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and popularity
will get the Press Claims Company's twenty.

None But the Best.

In p,aking any farm product
profitable two things are to be con-
sidered. These are the cost of pro-
duetion and the selling price. In
estimating the cost Of production it
is we'll to bear in mind that the val
ne of time and labor is the same,
whether devoted to the growing of a
good quality of product or a poor
one; and with stock, the value Of
the feed and of the time required to
care for the animals is nearly or
quite the same, whether the animal
is a good or poor one. In many re-
spects it costs as much to raise in
ferior grain or fruit, or get ready
for market an animal of poor quail
ity as in the case of the best. In a
great measure the cost of production
is. the same. But when ready for
market the difference in price is
often very considerable.
With all farm products the better
the quality the less the competition
aud the better the price. There is
always market for the best, while
this can hardly be said of the low
er grades. 1t is always an item Ia
reduce the cost of production so far
as it is possible to do so without
lowering the quality. But in many
cases, especially with grains, fruits
and dairy products, it costs about
as much to make poor product as
a good one.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their bright
Claims Company has resolved to offer prize.
To the person who submits to it
the simplest and most promising
invention, from q 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 inven-
ton free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condit-
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 unpatentable, he can
withdraw without further expense. Otherwise
he will be expected to complete his apple cation

Orchard and Garden.

Plant trees as deep as they grew
in the nursery.
The chief value in dwarf pears is
their early bearing.
Dwarf pears require light soil
and a light pruning every Spring.
Mulching is Of benefit, whether
the planting is done early or late.
Adeep soil is necessary to a good
garden, but care must be taken not
to bring to the surface too much
subsoil.
Dead branches on fruit and other
trees are not only unsightly, but
they are draft on the vitality of
the tree.
Onions set out in the Fall should
be well mulched as soon as the
ground freezes hard enough to bear
up a wagon.
Trees set out in the Fall should
be carefully mulched as soon as the

In removing dead branches care
should be taken to make the cut

it will not heal over readily.
The wild cherry is the home OF

The cherry is less troublesome to
grow than almost any other kind Of
fruit. All that is necessary is to
plant out the trees carefully and
then let them alone. Cultivation is
really an injury, by inducing toe

Piles and vegetables that are pulled
out should have covering of coarse
manure, straw or other coarse litter

The eggs of the tent caterpillar
are laid in clusters on shoots o.
rather less than half an inch in di-
ameter and are fastened together
with a kind of glue that protects
them from the weather. AS they
are easily seen in the Winter the
best plan is to cut off the infested
branches and burn them.

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
frictlons of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passenger backs?'
exclaims traveller. IF / were running the
road would make them in such a way"
"What was the man who made this sueepan
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 buttonv growls the man
who is late for breakfast. IF l 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. saucepaus, and collar 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.

Among the Poultry.

have egg-shell material supplied
to them.
Any kind of poultry may be inn
proved by a careful selection and
breeding.
Fowls two or three years old and
not closely related, are best for
breeders.
Chickens will keep healthier if
they can have loose ground to
scratch over.
Let the chickens have the kitchen
refuse, but not after it has become
sour and disgusting.
In poultry-keeping theory is good,
provided it gives the practical re-
suits which are sought.
Sick fowls may have medicine
administered in the drinking water,
when they refuse to eat.
1t is where fowls receive the least
care that complaints of their un-
proftableness are loudest.
The principal reason why cooked
food fattens the fowls more rapidly
| is because it is much more easily
digested.
Even in Winter, if the hens are
expected to lay regularly, care must
be taken not to let them become
too fat.
When fowls are closely confined
the runs need spadine up occasion
ally to prevent them from becoming
too foul.
Early broilers usually prove very
profitable. Push the growth until
they will average two pounds and
then sell.
1t willipay to sell all the common
turkeys and make new start with
some of the better breeds like the
Bronze or Narragansett.
If early broilers are to be raised,
especially if they are Matched in an
incubator, a good brooder will be
found almost indispensable.
A small quantity of sunfower
seed given occasionally will add to
the gloss of the plumage; handful
to dozen fowls will be enough.
A lean, raw-boned fowl, whether
as an individual or a breed, is an
abomination. Put him into a pot
pie, and raise something more
comedy.
Give the fowls special attention,
good feed and dry quarters during
the moulting period, so as to get
them in laying order as early as
possible.
Bran, ground oats and cornmeal
make one of the best rations for
growing chickens. 1t may be i'm
proved somewhat by baking and
then crumbling.
In selecting out the hens, if there
are any that have proved themselves
exceptionally good mothers, it will
pay to keep them over if they are
past 2 years old.
Poultry is generally cheap at
this season on account of the large
quantities of it sent to market.
Often it will pay to keep and feed
until a little later.
Setting hens are scarce in Winter,
SO if early chickens are wanted a
good incubator will be necessary,
the size depending upon the number
of chickens to be Matched.
The nests should be dark, warm
and supplied with good nesting
material, which should be changed
regularly, even in Winter, to pre-
vent its becoming too foul.
Leaves or chaff make a good lit
ter to scatter on the floor, and by
throwing grain among it the fowls
will be kept busy scratching it over
and in this way take exercise.
Wheat is one of the best grains
for laying hens. 1t is rich in ma
terial for growth, while stimulating
to the egg functions. AT present
prices it can hardly be considered
an expensive food.

NOT SO HARD As 1T SEEMS.

patent strikes person as an appsllingly
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 II 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
ehild's ball, SO that it would come back to the
hand when thrown made 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 a 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.
