No Blanks In this Competition.

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 risklng 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 different Each person is asked
merely to help himself 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 it. The architect whose com.
petitive plan for 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 de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tition, need not worry if he fail to secure the
prize. He has substantial result to show
for his work-onc that viii command its val
ue in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point Of
view. Get rid ofthe rid of the idea that an
Improvement can be too simple to be worth
patentng. TIE simbcr the better The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol.
lars.
The responsibility of this 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.

Patents
Notice to InvetorS,

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was SO great as now. The con-
veniences OF mankind In the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual accessious
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order TO saye labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs Of
government to deter him from quickly con.
eeiymg the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent Valuable interests
haYe been lost and destroyed in lnnumerablc
instances by the employment of incompe-
tent counsel, and especially is this advice
applicable to those who adopt the mo pat
ent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys do
so at imminent risk, rs the breadth and
strength of the patent is never considered in
view of q quick cndcavor to get an allowance
and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS

ECONOMY m GOOD FARM BUILDINGS.


Good farming implies warm shelters
for stock in inclement weather. Warm
stables prevent loss of flesh and
vitality from cold or wet weather, and
at the same time enable the farmer to
effect the greatest possible saving
of animal excrements for manure.
The increased amount and value of
the voiGings of sheltered animals will
pay large interest on the cost of the
buildings. The saving in feed re-
quired for maintenance will 60 far
toward paying rent on the structures.
Good economy requires that the farm
buildings be built of sound, sub
stantial, durable materials, and that
they be well built. Then the cost Of
repairs will be reduced to a minimum.
The farmers dwelling should also be
we'll built of the best materials, and
so conveniently arranged as to make
the housework as light as possible.
This is question of economy as well
as question Of justice to the weaker
sex who are part of the working force
of the farm. The farmers dwelling
should be we'll lighted, well ventilated
and well severed, so as to preserve
the health and efficiency of its in
mates, and the idea of beauty should
have full effect in the location and
architecture of the farm dwellings
and all of it's environments, including
its ornamental grounds, kitchen and
fruit garden and orchard. American

The German plan, followed by those

The German plan, followed by those
having small farms and hut few cat
tie, is to cut the fodder up into half
inch lengths. They mix a half bushel
of the fodder with two quarts of mill
feed, adding little salt to season the
mess, and then scald it with two gal
Ions of hot water. Cover it up with a
bag, and let it soak for several hours
before feeding. This softens the hard
stalks, and makes it palatable and
nourishing feed. If the fodder is Just
mixed with the millfeed and cold water
and fed at once, the cattle will not eat
the hard stalks, but will leave it.
Fodder should always be fed in con-
nection with mixed timothy CT clover
hay. Fodder alone will not make o
large quantity of milk, neither viii 1t
be rich milk. The three combined
that is, the hay, fodder, and millfeed
and corn chop--will give the COZ all
the feed it needs, for the cows
stomach, being large, must be filled.
She will repay this generous treatment
by giving large quantity of rich milk
daily, and keeping in excellent order
at the same time. If the fodder is first
cut into two-inch lengths, and is to be
fed in boxes, feed it dry.---Baltimore

Railroads in japan.

The railroads of Japan are solidly
constructed and carefully run. The
gauge is three feet ak inches, and the
cars are generally eighteen feet long.
There are first, second and third
classes, and the fares are for several
classes two and three sen (cents)
mile. The Japanese are great tray
elers, and more than nine-tenths OF the
travel is of second and third class.
The rate of speed Is uniformly about
twenty miles an hour. The trains are
run On what is known as the "statf'
system, and train is not allowed to
leave q station where it meets another
until the conductor has received from
the conductor of the other train a
symbol called "staff," which is his
evidence that he is entitled to leave.
In the first-class carriage, which is
either one room, like our drawing
room cars, or in three compartments,
like the English, one finds cushion
seats, wash hand bowls and water clos
cts, and generally tea pot and cups.
the former occasionally replenished
with hot water. If this is lacking the
passenger can buy on the platform at
any station teapot full of tea and
cup for two anda half cents. The tea
pot is pretty enough to bring
quarter in this country, and the cup
would be cheap at ten cents. You buy
the whole "outft," and could carry it
away if you pleased. As rule, the pot
and cup are left in the car, and about
sixty per cent. of them are recovered
by the vender.
The railroads in Japan are partly
owned by the Government and partly
by private stockholders, but the rates
and rules of the Government roads
govern the others also. At all the
stations are overhead bridges, and
crossing the track at grade is prohlb-
tied, as in England. The stations are
roomy and neat, the platforms ample,
and at both ends of the platform the
name of the station is conspicuously
posted. The passenger shows his
ticket on going through the gate to
his train, and surrenders it at the gate
on leaving. No conductor enters the
cars. We also miss the familiar visits
of the enterprising young man who
sells newspapers and popular books,
and who loads our seats at home with
lozenges, photograph albums, comic
periodicals, vegetable ivory. matches,
chewing gum and other merchandise.

FOOD TO FATTEN A HORSE.

1t is not good thing to keep q
horse fat. Fat is only an obstacle to
work, as it adds to the weight of the
animal and reduces the ability of the
muscles to do work. The best condi-
tion of horse is that in which the
muscles are well developed and kept
firm and hard. Too much fat softens
the muscles and disables it for hard or
rapid work, causing profuse sweating,
which weakens the animal. Good
judgment is necessary to feed horse
properly, and it is the reverse of this
to make it fat. A standard daily rs-
tion for horse of 1000 pounds is
made up of sixteen pounds of mixed
corn and oats ground together with a
bushel of cut hay, or half hay and half
good oat straw. The cut hay is wetted
and the ground meal is mixed with it,
a handful of salt being added. If the
work is extra hard, four quarts of good
oats may be given at noon with little
long hay. Otherwise the hay may be
given alone at noon. The horse should
be watered at least ten minutes before
feeding.-New York Times.

Bread Making Machines.

In the manufacture of the bread
making machines of the last few years
the great object has been to obviate,
as far as possible, the handling of the
dough. The materials themselves,
having a sort of life impaired to them
in the process of fermentation, require
entirely different treatment from that
to which other materials are subjected,
while necessitating machinery of
powerful construction to obtain
thorough and rapid mixing and the
stretching and folding motions essen
tial to the increase in elasticity of the
dough and the development of the
gluten in the flour. An improved
machine possessing all these features
has been constructed. It's various
movements are controlled by the turn
of hand wheel. In the working of
the mixers the materials are, brought
from each Of the four corners of the
receiving trough to the centre OF the
machine, incorporating the flour and
liquor thoroughly by evenly intermix-
1uR bucLQ, DuI WlGuOuJ IuUDtuS LucH
against the side of the trough. The
machine has two speeds - one for
breaking the sponge and for quickly
mixing the materials, and the other
for the kneading operation. The gear
ing for producing these speeds is actu-
ated by means of hand-wheel,. which
acts quite Independently, without
stopping the machine. The arms Of
the machiae upon one side are made
to act in the opposite direction to
those upon the other side, or to work
in the same direction by the simple
movement of hand lever. The trough
con be tilted while the beaters are
either in motion OF at rest. All the
shafts revolve in split gun-metal bear.
ings, and the kneading arms are pro-
vided with cone bearings of special
construction. The gearing and work.
ing parts are carefully covered so as tc
prevent any danger of accident while
working the machine.-Chicago Rec

Remarkable Deal in Dentistry.

A most remarkable story OF deal
in dentistry is going the rounds. A
bankers firm in London the other day
made an investment in teeth which
was highly satisfactory, and in which
the money flowed the other way. 1t
seems that an ancient swindler, who
had cheated them out of some money,
was caught, convicted and sentenced.
While in prison he wanted new set
of teeth, those he was wearing not be-
ing all that could be desired in dealing
with prison fare. The governor OF the
Jail told him that the Government did
not provide false teeth for the prison
ers. Accordingly he wrote to the
bankers and told them that If they
would provide him with false teeth he
would give them some valuable lnfor-
nation. They sent him $25. he got
his teeth, and in return he sent them
information that led to the finding OF
s7500. All in all, it was good In
yestment. Detroit Free Press.
