A COURT DECISION

In Which the Manufacturers Of The
Farmers Friend" Straw stacksrs Are
Winners,
The Indiana Manufacturing company,
Of Indianapolis, in September last gained
q suit in the circuit court Of Indiana, in
volviDg the questions of letters patent
on their Farmers Friend straw stacker
and infringement thereon by the de-
Rendsnts Goodwin, ct al. From the
record of the case in the Federal Re-
porter No. 81, the following is quoted to
show the grounds on which an injunC-
tion was granted the Indiana Manufac-
turing company, restraining the defend
ing from further infringement:
The character Of the invention ls we'll
atated in the testimony Of Mr.. Oscar w.
Bond, complsinants' expert. It consists,
speaking in general terms, in the Oombina-
tion, with a threshing machine, of a pneu-
matiC straw elevator, consisting Of fan, a
trunk through which the straw is discharged,
and various devices by which these parts are
adapted to properly perform the work Of
taking the straw from the threshing ma.
chine, and conveying the same to, and de-
posting IL upon, stack. So far as shown,
the complainant, Buchanan, is the first in
ventor Of a machine by means Of which
straw can be successfully taken from 9
threshinR machine, and conveyed 60 and
deposited upon a stack.
The evidence on behalf Of the complain
snts is clear and satisfactory, touching th'
utility and value of the apparatus, and th,
infringement of the firss, sixth, seventh and
ninth claims of the oOmplsinsnts' paten
by the defendants is shown. The remain
ing claims Of the patent are not in iseue. l
follows that complaints are entitled to th
usual decree for an accounting and an in
junction, and it is 30 ordered.

Where Seeds Come From.

First among the seed producing houses
Of the world stands the old establish
ment of D. NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit,
Mich. Established in 1856, this firm has
been for years the largest and best
known seed house in the world. In 1893
over 100000 dealers handled Ferry's
seeds, and the number Of people who
planted them runs far into the millions.
For 1894 this firm has made preparation
to supply at least $4,000 bushels OF gar
den beans along. Something more than
shrewd business methods 10 required to
. place and keep such business in the
lead. It is something that deserves the
thought Of everyone who plants 3 seed.
If every grower could 60 on tour Of In
speCtion through this great establish
ment and see what is behind the name
Of Ferry's seeds, see with what care
they have been developed and tested, see
with what precision they are sorted and
packed, ready for planting, there would
be less disappointment and fewer losses
from the use Of inferior seeds.
Every year D. M. Ferry & 20. issue an
annual for the convenience and instruo-
tion OF those who plant seeds. It 10 pre-
pared by the most competent authors,
and is rightly looked upon a. q standard
authority on the most profitable things
TO plant, and the best way to cultivate
them. This book il sent free Of charge
to all who send their name and address
to the above mentioned firm.

A St Paul Clergyman Predicts an Up
hsaval Like the French Reign Of
Terror.

Speaking to q mass meeting OF labor
eFs Sunday evening, Rsv. John w.
Crooks, pastor Of the Burr street Baptist
church Of st. Paul, made what is re-
garded by many as q very incendiary
speech. He said:
"Everything runs to trusts. just think
OF -four. Wheat has been selling all the

name, who has been buying -four st one

there will be an explosion. 1t came in
France in the days Of her communism

water and fertilizad her fields. 1t came
In England under Cromwell, and the

A radical observation by the Vienna,
III, r ,former: "Conservatism has never
advanced in anything, never made a
single discovery, nor advanced the cause
OF progress, improvement Of man in
single instance. Conservatism repre-
sents the ignorance, the bSrbarism, the
slavery and the crueltieS Of the past. Had
mankind obeysd conservatism, no Od-
vance Of any kind would have ever been
made in any department Of life, either In
science, learning, the Arta or in govern
ment or religion. RSdicalism has made
all the discoveries, inventions, improve
ments IN science, government and every
thing else in which sdvAncsments have
been made. Conservation has always
opposed all these things. Conservatism
was always wrong, and always viii bO
wrong. RadioaliSm was always right"
