Miscellaneous Notes.

The apple cropin Maine has been
very profitable this year. Farmers
in Litchfeld got SO a barrel for good
fruit.
To feed thoroughly we'll through
the Winter is a positive economy,
provided that you feed the right
kind of stock.
Reports indicate that there is a
large crop of pigs in the country at
the present time, which will insure
large supply of hogs and lower
prices later in the year.
Sugar beets make an excellent
feed for hogs. So you may expert
ment to find out if you can grow
beets that will make good sugar
and not waste crop or time. The
hogs will pay for them.
Sheep are a good item for almost
any farm. But keep in mind that
there is no best breed of sheep more
than there is a best breed of cattle
or horses. Find out which is best
for your own land, location and
system of farming.
Every year wool is collected from
more and more remote regions in
China, although the difficulties OF
transportation are great, especially
when camels are scarce. No care
is exercised in sorting and packing
the wool, dirt and sand being allow
ed to remain mixed with the staple.
The best way to keep manure is
on freshly plowed field. If rains
soak it in, the valuable substances
will go down into the soil, and the
work of spreading may be done at
this season. The saving of labor
and the exposure of the manure on
the ground will be advantageous
next season.

Raising Horses 20 sell.

Generally the farmer cannot af-
ford to raise geldings and keep them
on the farm for a team. He can
make them pay very we'll if he will
keep them until they are 4 or 8
years old, and then sell, taking care
in the meantime to break them
well, SO as to get work enough out
of them to pay for their keep. A
horse that has been given good care
SO as to make a steady growth and
development from the time he was
foaled ought to be broken to light
work when past 2 years old, taking
care that only light work is given
him and not too much of that.

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 a commercial point
of view, the company will give
twenty five hundred dollars, cash,
in addition to retunding the fees
for securing the patent.
It will also advertise the inven-
ton free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condit
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 Ave 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. will be seventy dollars. For this,
whether he secures the prize or not. the invent
or win 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 I'LL out the following blank
and forward it with their applications:

can be realized for them, unless they
are needed on the farm, and are
worth more to you than the price.
offered, it will be best to sell.
With good young mares, however,
the case is different. The better the
young mares are the stronger the
reason why they should be kept on
the farm for breeding. No farmer
can afford to sell the best of his
animals of and kind, especially
those that hecan use to good advan-
tage in improving his stock. By
mating full-blooded sire to care
fully selected mares, good grade
colts may be secured. Then if in
turn the very best of these grade
mares are selected and again mated
to pure bred stations still further
improvement is made.
By keeping the best and breeding
in this way, selling all that are not
needed ON the farm, considerable
improvement in the quality of the
horses can be made. Keep mares
and young, growing horses to do the
necessary work of the farm, keeping
the young horses until they are
reasonably well matured and then
selling whenever fair price is offer.
ed. In this way considerable work
can be gotten ont of the horses while
they are growing, and by taking
care to keep them in good condition
they can be marketed at any time.
But if the best mares are sold off,
and what cannot be sold are bred
under present conditions, the colts,
even when reasonably we'll grown,
will be hard to sell at any price.
The cost of raising the one is as
much as the other, and the differ
ence in value when ready to market
represents to considerable extent
the difference in the profits.

THE LITTLE THINGS TIE 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. III were running the
road would make them in such a 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 buttonl" grewls 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
brella ring. or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

Orchard and Garden.

Newly planted grape vines should
be allowed to grow only one shoot.
The principal object in pruning is
to let air and light freely into all
parts Of the top.
The best pruning is that which
rarely if ever calls for the removal
of large branch.
The fruit of old trees is usually
richer and more highly favored
than that from young ones.
If properly stored, seed of
cucumbers and squash 2 or 8 years
old, are better than fresh ones.
Slow growing trees or vines should
be set on richer soil, and fast grow
ing ones on the poorer ground.
Black raspberries will grow on
any soil suitable for corn or potato
es, as they do not require an over
rich soil.
With no experience in fruit grow
ing or market gardening do not rush
too largely in at first; 60 into it by
degrees.
Ounce trees are ornamental in
flower and fruit. They are sure
bearers and the fruit is always
marketable.
Do not buy gratis of any kind of
stone fruits, as hardly one-tenth
will grow. Get only budded trees
of stone fruits.
Allowing the dead limbs to re-
main on the trees only robs the live
part of needed sap and greatly in
jures the fruit.
If the dish-water and wash water
is thrown around the peach trees
they will be long lived, free from
worms and disease.
With some crops like onions, it is
often best to us commercial fertiliz-
ers, in order to avoid the weed
seeds in stable manures.
Moss or vermin on the bark of
trees can be got rid of by a good
wash of lime, SCOT or clay applied
with brush, taking care that the
crevices are we'll cleaned out.
1t is mistake to plant too many
varieties or only one, or a variety
that fruit-tree agent advises you
to. Plant only those that have been
well tested in your neighborhood.
Young trees in the paths of sweep
ing winds will be benefited if
steadied by tying them to stout
stakes at least until they have had
time to become we'll established.
Grapevines may be trimmed now /,
as also currants and gooseberries.
The trimmings may be cut up into
three eye cuttings and buried in the
soil for Spring cutting, taking care
to protect by mulching well.
Plums do not thrive on highest
ground because it is apt to be too
dry, and if grown on low ground,
late frosts may catch the blossoms.
They will thrive on a rich, rather
moist, but well-drained soil.
Fresh sawdust should not be used
for mulching. Pile it up and let it
partly rot, or use it as bedding in
the horse or cow stable, and then
apply. In this way it will answer
both as a manure and mulch.
Propagation of young trees by
root grating can be done at any
time during the Winter. Scions
should be. cut in mild weather,
choosing good ripened shoots and
paying close attention to the label
ing to avoid mistakes.
Peaches should be started from
good, healthy stock, on high, dry
land, should receive moderate and
clean cultivation up to midsummer
and not afterwards. Cutting back
helps both fruit and wood. Care
must also be taken not to let the
trees overbear.

NOT so RARD Az 1T SEEMS.

A 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 a pstentable degree
of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sires to dispel. 1t desires to get into the head
OF the public clear comprehensioreof 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 absurdfy trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention Of
the Patent ONCE.
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 a
child's ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown. made a fortune ont of the
scheme The modern sewing machine is q 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.

pacing the gangways swoop like hawks,

voice of the captain is heard calling for
better speed; the silver whistles of the
overseers quicken the stroke; the cruel
thongs enforce the signal of the whistles.

turer tries to fay him into consciousness.
