PATENTS.
Notice to Investors.

There was never time in tue history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and work shop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life,
require continual acccssions to tie APP
purtenances and implements Of each
in order to save labor. time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not siIect the
progress of the American inventor. who
being on the alert and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies. does not per-
nit the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly conceiying the rem
edy TO overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
| choosing competent and skillful attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in iunum-
cradle instances by the employment OF
incompetent counsel. and especially is
this advice applicable to those who
adopt the mo patent, no pay system.
Inventors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at immi-

Despite an unusually cold winter and
plenty of SNOW. reports from various
sections Of this county show that range
cattle are wintering nicely, which has
been due, it is said, more TO the absence
of thaws and sudden freeze-ups, there
by covering the ground so stock could
not reach feed, than to an abundance
of grass. Another thing that has helped
out: the number of cattle on the range
is small compared with what it has been
in past winters.
