Lost His Fingers,

A few weeks ago John Matter came
from indianapolis, Ind, and took a
position in the tow mill. Last Satur-
day morning while feeding one of the
breakers" his right hand was in some
way drawn between the rollers and the
thumb and first three fingers were
badly mangled. He was at once taken
to DR.. G. }. Golfers Office and the
injured fingers were amputated at the
second joints and the thumb at the
first Joint. The unfortunate young
man is doing as well as could he eX-
pected under the circumstances.

Escape From Death.

Bridge Superintendent Harry San
born of the G. & n. w. R'y came very
near passing in his checks last Satur-
day morning. 1t seems he was on the
work train going up the line toward
Watertown to superintend the putting
in of some bridges that have been
washed out Between Estelline and
DempSter. and while the train was
running about 80 miles an hour, Mr..
SanbOrn opened the door of the pile
driver engine house (which swings QUIT
and was going over to tell the en-
gineer not to run quite so fast. He
had no sooner opened the door and set
his foot on the ladder when the force
of the wind slammed the door back
with great violence carrying the super
intendent with it and hurting him on
the hard road bed beneath. The train
was soon stopped and his insensible
form recovered and the train hurried
back to Brookings. DR.. Collier was
called and upon examination it was
found that no bones were broken but
his left wrist was sprained and the
body badly bruised. In many places
the skin was torn from the flesh.
After being fixed up, what remained
was taken to his home at Huron
where he will remain for several
weeks at least. His escape from in
slant death is somewhat of miracle
as he must have piched headlOng with
frightful force and being heavy man
it IS certainly wonder he lives to tell
the story.

objected to having their husbands put

him ought not to be piticd if he did

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 simplest 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.
1t will also advertise the invep-
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 a 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 application
and take out patent in the regular way. The
total expense, including Government and Blu
reau fees, viii be seventy dollars. For this
whether he secures the prize or not, the invent
or will have patent that ought to be a valua
BILE property to him. The prize will be award
ed by jury consisting of three reputable pat
ent attorneys OF Washington. Intending com
petitors should fill out the following blank
and forward it with their applications:

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 successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press Claims
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 it. The
prize is only stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a 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 a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Compa
nys competition, need not worry II he fail ia
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.
The plain man who uses any articles in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who stud
les 1t only from the theoretical point of view
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 Companys twenty.
FIVE hundred dollars.
The responsibility of the company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa
pers of the United States.

In farming it should be borne in
mind that it is better to raise a
thing or an animal than to buy it.
What keeps farmers poor is putting
their hands into their pockets for so
much they ought to grow or breed
themselves. Something should be
growing and going all the time, and
this can only be done by keeping
in view the principle of variety of
stock and crops. A farmer who
keeps, horses, cows, sheep and swine
puts himself under bonds, as it
were, to rise early, which promotes
digestion and keeps up the fences,
maintains the fertility of the farm,
and checks buggy husbandry and
dissipation in general. A farmer
needs to hang up, pick up, look up,
straighten up and clean up all the
time, or he will let his place go to
dogs. Long observation has taught
that any animal-whether two, or
four-legged-pays for its keeping in
manure, and so its growth from in
fancy to maturity is all profit.

sselIthe SURPLUS.

The farmer or breeder who keeps
culls through the Winter is feeding
off his profit, for frequently lot of
fowls will bring more in the Fall
than they will after being kept all
Winter. The farmer should dis
pose of all his surplus cockerels
early and save feeding them at
loss, besides by doing this he will
find that his pullets do better.
The breeder should pick out all
cockerels that show defects that
will interfere with their value as
breeders and sell them for what
they will bring, as fast as such de-
fects show themselves. By doing
this feed is saved and the flock pre-
sents better appearance, and ac-
cording to the Standard all de-
ponds on looks. Any more fowls
than can be kept to the best advan-
tage are a damage and should be
disposed of. If you have room for
fifty do not try to crowd hundred
through the Winter, for the fifty
with room enough will pay better
than twice as many that have not
room enough.
A good many farms might keep
two or three times as many fowls
as they do, but the owners have got
to think that they do not get enough
out of them to pay for the trouble,
simply because they do not give
enough room in the poultry house.
The writer has had fifty laying hens
all Summer on his place, and they
have not been outside Of an acre Of
ground about the stables, because
they have never been hungry
enough to range far, and this is the
way it should be with all flocks.
Our fowls pay, and our hens lay
eggs enough so that we get clear
profit of nearly $3.50 from each
one. If we should but half feed
them and compel them to hunt all
over the place they would not pay
for the food they consume. A
neighbor has flock of eighty hens,
and when we were getting three
dozen day from our fifty he was
getting from two to six eggs, and
he swore he would not feed hens
that could not do better. They did
so poorly because they were not
given the materials to work with
food.-Cor. american Farmer.

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 don the railroad companies make its
| ar windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passenger backs?
exclaims a traveller. I'll / were running the
road would make them in such way
what was the man who made this sucepan
thinking of" gTumbles 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 button" growls the man
who is late for break asst. IF / were in the
business d make buttons that wouldn slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the baok of my
neck
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity, put their ideas about
car windows. saucepans. 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
brela ring, or the one who patented the fifteen
