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 1t. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without 1t. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a 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

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 a prize.
To the person who submits to it
the simplest and most promising
invention, from 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 inven-
ton free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condlt-
ions:
Every competitor must obtain q 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 10 complete his apple alton
and take out patent in the regular way The
total expense. including Government and Blu
reau fees. will be seventy dollars. For this.
whether he secures the prize or not, the invent
or will have patent that ought to be 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:

You cannot expect the very best
results from your seasons work I'M
less you use some forethought in
adapting your crops to your land.
Each field on the farm has some
especial use to which it is best fitted
for the coming year. Find out
what this is by intelligent consider
alton of the soil, the past rotation
and the needs of the proposed crop,
and then you can go ahead with
safety.
Pork-raising should to some ex-
tent be part of the routine of every
we'll conducted farm. 1t should be
followed up consistently, whether
prices are high or low; but when
they are low it requires careful at
tention to make the feeding profit
able. The experience gained in the
practice of economy at such times
should contribute toward making
the profit still better when prices
tend upward.
DR.. Lehman of Ohio has discov-
cred a simple method for detecting
oleomargarine. If a sample of but
ter is placed in glass tube or
tumbler and held over fame until
brought to boiling point, it will
bubble up in foamy mass and al
most overflow the tube. fla sample
of oleomargarine be treated in the
same manner it will not throw up
bubbles, but simply splutter in the
bottom of the tube.
Waste places can be advantage
ously used for trees. When far
mer has too much land, and does
not care to sell, he should not allow
it to grow up in any sort of wood
that may take possession, but pillow
the land and put out young forest
trees, in rows, and cultivate them
the first year or two. Black wal
nut and other valuable trees may
be grown. 1t is process that more
than pays the interest on the land,
and the field may be used for cat
tie pasture portion of the time.
If every farmer would determine
to obliterate the scrub, and use bet
ter stock, the wealth of the country
would be doubled in a few years.
Nothing destroys progress on the
farm SO much as the expensive
scrub. Many farmers have worked
hard for many years, supporting
scrubs, when to-day they might be
enjoying prosperity if they had long
ago used only pure-bred stock.
They have saved the small cost
necessary to procure pure breeds,
and paid an annual tax to the scrub
every year, greater than the cost of
improvement.

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't the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers backs?"
exclaims a traveller. "If l were running the
road would make them in such 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 button!" 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. 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
puzzle

NOT SO HARD A. 1T SEEMS

patent strikes person as an appallingly
formidable thing The idea is that an inventor
must be 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 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 1t 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
child S ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine l. . 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.

The strawberry beds should be
well mulched in order to avoid
having the plants thrown out of the
ground when the frost begins to
disappear.
Farmers need not 60 far to sell
their mutton. They should discard
pork to a certain extent, and sup
ply. their own tables with variety
of meat.
Tryingto do too much is a fault
with farmers. They aim to cult
vate forty-acre corn field when
less work and more fertilizers will
give better results on a smaller area.
The statistics show that the yields
of grain are averaging less than for
merly. This indicates that each
farmer cultivates too. much land,
and that better system of cultiya-
ton IS necessary.
Has the market ever been over
stocked with good butter or fresh
eggs. Go into the cities and try
and buy these commodities. There
will be different prices, but the
choice articles will be high.
The time was when the farmer
boosted of the number of acres he
had under cultivation, but now it is
more, how many bushels can he
raise to the acre and of the high
state of cultivation of his farm.
A good system in managing your
stock is to keep it in such condition
that it is ready for market at any
time. Then good prices cannot
come and go again while you are
getting ready to take advantage of
them.
If you are thinking of going into
the business of dairying, to sell
milk in town or city, it would be
well to bear in mind that people are
considering quality more than they
used to. Select your dairy herd
accordingly.
If you intend to develope that
heifer into profitable diary COW,
let her care and training bein that
direction from the very start. 1t is
a poor time to begin when she is
wanted for service as producer of
dairy goods.
Never work butter with the hand,
but use the ladle, in order not to
destroy the grain. The science of
butter making is in handling it
after it comes out of the churn, yet
this portion of the process receives
the least attention.
The calf must have its own shed,
its own feed lot, its own rations of
grain, and its own rack of hay.
When supplied in this way with a
proper amount of feed of good quail
ity, it will grow through every
month Of the year, and yield prof
it to it's owner.
Good prices cannot be obtained
for inferior materials, but by sort
ing out the best, and feeding the
inferior portions to stock, more
money will be received for the Sc
lected portion than would be the
case if the whole was marketed, as
inferior articles injure the sale of
the whole.
The boy on the farm will soon be
the farmer. 1t is well that his
earlier impressions Of the calling to
which he belongs will be of such as
to make him believe there is no
place to live on like the farm, in
etead of believing it to be the place
from which he will escape as soon
as be is old enough.

Slovenly cultivation is a waste of
labor, because it accomplishes no OBJ
ject. A crop that is not thoroughly
cultivated is not cultivated at all,
and a small yield results from the
lack OF a little more labor that would
double the crop. Work is of no
value unless properly applied, and
it must be completed before it will
receive its full reward.
One of the worst economies you
can practice in feeding is to feed
whole corn fodder. 1t is a waste of
both feed and labor. The cattle
: will waste large portion of it, in
spite of your best efforts, and the
stalks add immensely to the labor
of handling the manure. 1t is far
better TO take the trouble to cut it
before feeding, and SO get the full
value and save subsequent labor.
