NO BLANKS IN THIS CONTEST

This isa competition of rather an unusual
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 it. The
prize is only stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without it. 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.
ny's competition. need not worry II he fail to
secure the prize. He has a substantial result
to show for his wOFk-one that will command
its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any articles in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who stud
les 1t only from the theoretical point OF view.
Get rid OF the idea that an improvement can
be too simple to be worth patenting The
simpler the better The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and popularity,
win get the Press Claims Company's twenty
Ave hundred dollars.
The responsibility of the 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.

Cruelty to Cows.

Men may regard cattle as mere
machines, but the fact remains that
they are of a sensitive organization,
capable of suffering and enjoyment,
and that to a degree too often lost
sight of. The idea that it is just as
we'll for a COW, either in point of
comfort or health, to be tied up six
months with no exercise, is contrary
to all physiological teaching; and
that nutritious food, light and exer-
else are necessary to the mainte-
nance of health and full develop
ment. Give COWS chance to 60 ont
in the sunlight of the warm days in
the Winter and see how quickly they
go and see the real enjoyment
depicted on their expressive faces.
Even though the milkflow may be
somewhat lessened, will not what is
lost in quantity be made up in
quality? At any rate I am sure l
would much rather eat dairy pro-
ducts of strong healthy COWS than
that of those weakened and enerva-
ted by close confinement and un-
natural food, such as would be an
exclusive diet of cornmeal. 1t is
not necessary, in order to give them
little exercise and sunlight to
range over an extensive area. Let
them out in an ordinary-sizedr yard
and they win not do travelling suffi-
Gent to waste any great amount of
energy.--Farm, Stock and Home.

small Farms and Billion Occupants.

small Farms and Billion Occupants.
Here's a small suggestion for the
anti-western pessimists to ponder.
We mean men like the Secretary of
Agriculture who practically declare
that the country is almost exhausted
and the land areas are being so rap
idly filed up that we may ere long
be in the position Of Great Britain
whose political economy, fiscal
policy and financial craftsmanship
they all SO much admire-and that
is, of being obliged to import the
food we need.
The State of Texas alone has area
sufficient to supply five acres for
200,000,0OO families at the rate of
five persons to each family, the total
would somewhat exceed the present
estimate of the worlds population.
And three-fifths of Texas can
readily be made in five acre arabic
farms, on and from which family
may continue to live in decent con-
dition. The Valley of the Arkansas
within Kansas and Colorado alone
contains at least one million acres
of arabic land, from which crops can
be raised at q moderate cost for
water. Divided into five acre lots
100000 families of five persons each
might easily be maintained from
the products of the soil. The
Valley of the Rio Grande has land
and water sufficient above Ell Paso
to make secure cultivation of at
least 100000 five acre farms.
One may go on to an extent that
would seem to be the widest exag-
geration. But it is not. There are
young men now residing in the San
Joaquin Valley, California, who will
easily live to see therein a half
million acres cut up into highly
cultivated farms and orchards OF
from five to ten acres each, every
one supporting in reasonable plenty
a self dependent family of free
persons. The SHOWS and storms OF
Mount Whitney upon whose lofty
peaks the annual precipitation is
probably from eighty to ninety
inches, will, ere the younger gener-
alton passes into "dessuetude," as
Grover might say, be brought in
large part by engineering skill d.
rected by scientific observation and
knowledge, to the service of those
who may be so fortunate as to cul-
tivate the soil of that wonderful
Central Californian valley. Yet we
are told that the arabic land is
nearly exhausted and that there is
no water to serve as an insurer Of
crops on the western two-fifths OF
this Continental Union of ours.
think it is probable that the waste
full land grabbers who want from l.
600 to 10000 acres on which to
swell their pulchritude, may not find
either water or land enough TO sat
isfy their foolish arrogance. But
the day of the small farm with Gull
tivation aided by scientific water
management, is surely arriving and
the management of water is as much
a need for cultivation in louisiana
and Ohio, as it is in Arizona and

NOteS Tor Beekeepers.
1t is good plan to breed drones
in the safe colony selected for queens.
No meddling with Or disturbance
of the bees should be allowed in the
Winter.
Some ventilation is necessary,
even in cold weather. 1t is mis-
take to close the entrance and every
crack and crevice during the Winter.
The ventilation given must be de-
termined by the strength of the col
ony.
The proper time to begin stimu-
lative feeding must be governed by
the weather somewhat, as an over
production of brood in Winter is
detrimental to successful wintering
of bees. Any disturbance of bees
during the Winter will stimulate
OIOOu"ISdIluS'
Hives covered with snow are in
the best possible Winter quarters
and they should be allowed to re-
main. Do not remove the snow. The
bees will not suffocate, even if out
Of sight. Unless strictly necessary
do not feed bees in Winter, let them
be as quiet as possible.
All hives occupied by bees should
have a thorough cleaning up at
least oncea year. Frames may also
be cleaned to facilitate handling.
This may easily be done by starting
with one empty hive cleaned up
ready to receive the first set of
frames, leaving an empty one for
the next and so on.
If the colony is in normal con-
dition, as it always should be to
store honey to the best advantage,
the bee is 16 days old before it
gathers honey. Under less favor
able conditions they will go to the
fields for honey in much less time,
even four or five days after Matching.
The best results cannot be obtain
ed by allowing too much increase.
Italian bees are inclined to increase
and swarm to an enormous extent
if not kept under control. A vast
number of stocks may be thus ac-
quired, but unless the demand for
bees is equal to the increase they
thus become an expense.
Overproduction of drones is very
Objectionable, but is easily prevent
ed. If care has been taken in fill
ing the frames with worker foun-
dation there is no danger on this
line, but if the frames are partly
filled and more starters are used,
an overproduction of drones is sure
to follow. Or if the bees are allow
ed to build their own comb entire
too many drones are the result.
Now is the time to get ready for
the next season. Nothing should be
postponed that can be done now.
If hives are needed, comb founda-
ton or other supplies, make out
your lists and send in your orders.
In bee keeping, as in other pursuits,
the best results are obtainable only
by being ready to begin work as
soon as the season opens. All the
preparatory work done now will be
so much gained.
People who are timid in working
with bees can have safe protection
from stings by the use of dress
suitable for the purpose. A veil
and a pair of gloves that can be
fastened closely at the wrist will
afford good protection. Many bee
keepers prefer a thin rubber glove
to any other kind. Mosquito net
ting can be used for wells, or a reg
ular bee veil can be bought.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their bright

It will also advertise the inveD-
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, win be seventy dollars. For this.

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 backs2"
exclams traveller. IF 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 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. II 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.

CHLLIcoTHE, Ohio. oct 5--Flylng
Jib was sent yesterday against the

which was made by Westmont at Chi
cago- Monroe Salisbury, the owner
of the PAGER, drove out Jib and a rum
ming mate attached to a pneumatic
tired wagon. and the famous Califor-
nian and his flyer were greeted with
cheers by the immense audience.
After taking a turn around .ae
track Andy Mcdowell, tie only driver
that ever drove a PAGER in less than
two minutes, mounted the seat and
up around the little loop of the kite,
and before the audience knew
what was up they came to
the wire As he passed un-
der it Mcdowell nodded and
the heat was The PAGER was
going at a terrific clip to the half,
which was made in SO fat. Round
the turn the PAGER kept up his turn to
the three-quarter pole, where he
began to show signs of weakness
The gait was a hot one still. and he
kept even pace with the runner and
shot under the wire amid the hushed
silence of 10, 600 people, who eagerly
strained forward awaiting Starter
Loper's announcement Mt of the time.
Some who had caught the PAGER
beaten the worlds record The au-
dience fairly went wild, and Starter
Loper had to ring the bell to queu
the riot of cheering throats- Once it
was quiet again Starter Loper said

Jib has beaten Westmont and made

The mile that .Jib went and the
time is all the more remarkable when
the circumstances are taken into con-
sideratiOn. All day strong Wind
was blowing and the air was cold and
clammy- The wind caught the horse
as it came up the back stretch at the
large loop, but he forged ahead just
the same The first half of the heat
was made in 50 seconds and the last
half IN 59A. The quarters could not
be taken as the fiagmen did not know
were not at their posts at the quarter
and the three quarter poles.
Another worlds record was broken
by Onaqua, the game little Iowa trot-
