Caution to Farmers
Against Attempts 60 Collect Royalty
for DIlutiOn sepRratOrs.

n
for DIIu,ion sepRratOrs.
press bulletin from the Vermont Experiment
station,
A considerable number OF farmers in
Vermont as well as in other states have
been persuaded within the last two years
to buy so-called gravity cream separators.
The first cost of these implements Is not
large. and many are led to believe that
they are getting a separator at small cost.
1t has been clearly shown, however, in the
past that these implements are not separa-
tors in the true sense of the word, and
that they are very wasleful of butter fat,
doing then no better work than the shall
low pan system, They are, therefore,
costly in the long run. The facts con-
corning their iDefiiciency have been brought
out by the Vermont experiment station In
their publications and were published in
the newspapers of the state.
A new feature has now appeared in con-
nection with this method of cream raising
Parties have been going about the state
demanding royalties from all farmers who
use the dilution process in any form OF
can except that controlled by the agents.
The agent claims that the process is patent
ed, and that the farmer is infringing on the
rights of the patentee.
As matter of fact no patent exists on
any such process. The Cornell expert
ment station calls attention to the fact In
one of its recent bulletins that no less than
ten different styles of apparatus in which
this process is used have been patented
within the last eighteen months. In only
one case out of the ten patents examined is
the word diIution used, and that case is
not now in question.
This method of cream raising has been
in use for ten years at least. 1t has been
thoroughly tested by the experiment
stations and by practical dairymen. 1t
was reported upon as long ago as 1890 and
widely advertised at that time. 1t IS,
therefore, out of the question that the
process should now be patented.
If any farmer wants to waste his cream
by the diluton process he can do so with
out paying a royalty to anybody. On the
contrary, any farmer who is approached
by these royalty collectors would be doing
his fellow-men good turn If he should re-
port the matter at once to the proper au-
thorities and have it looked up. Such
men are doubtless subject to action at law
for obtaining none under false pretences.

More Gold Than Ever Before.

There is at present more gold in the
United States treasury than ever before
The monthly statement showing the con-
dition of the nations finances on Aug. 81
showed the net cash balance in the treas
ury to be $279, 1862 1872, of which sum $24S,.
1851, 1872 are in gold. The total amount of
gold in the treasury amounts to more than
three hundred and seventeen millions, but
the difference between that sum and the
net amount is required to give outstanding
certificates their value. The national
debt, less the cash in the treasury, now
amounts to 81, 157 ,30G, sos, which is less
by S4, 2Sl, l16 than the debt at the close of
July. OF gold certificates there have
been withdrawn thus far, in exchange for
gold, little more than thirty-eight mill
lions.-[ Albany Journal.

The late Frank Ives was not only the
most wonderful master of the cue that the
world ever produced, but he was an all
round athlete as we'll before he took to bill
lizards. He was a frst-class base ball
catcher, a good jockey, a driver of trotting
horses, bicycle rider, and during the
roller skating craze he was one of the
speediest men ever seen in a rink. He
made living out of all these pastimes,
but he owed his chief fame to his marvel
GUS skill at playing billiards. He had al
ready won the worlds championship with
his cue while he was yet young In his
twenties, and he held that title up to the
time of his death. His play was always
characterized by wonderful dash and bril-
liancy, q fact which earned for him the
sobriquet of the Napoleon Of Billiards.

Points About scott.

Clement Scott might have been counted
upon not to make the breaks of green
horn. for he has been Il dramatic critic
nearly twoscore years and is well posted
both on all things theatrical and the
technicalities Of newspaper work. But
he would have had plenty of animosities
TO fight both in and out Of The Herald
Office.
The Office animosities would have been
OF the ordinary type, though not the less
formidable on that account. The outside
animosities would have been a legacy
from his service as dramatic critic on the
staff Of the London Telegraph and the
outgrowth of the circumstances which
led to his leaving that paper. For many
years Scott was a tremendous force as
The Telegraph's critic. His standing
in London was vastly higher than the
standing of any dramatic critic on this
side of the water. Possibly he could not
make play successful by his favor, but
he could certainly ruin play by writing
it down. and he was kowtowed to deeply
and continuously by all the managers and
all the actors of London town
His fall came early in 1898, when, in
an interview for religious weekly enti-
tied Great Thoughts, he gave uttefance
to the severest possible criticisms of the
private lives of actresses, saying in terms
that personal purity is impossible on the
stage. This kicked up no end of row,
the entire dramatic profession of London
petitioning The Telegraph owpers to dis
charge him. Instead they raised his sal
airy, but later saw their mistake and, in
December, 1898, asked for his resigna-
ton, which he promptly turned in.
Scott was in America in 1893, crossing
the continent from San Francisco east
ward in the course of trip around the
world. At San Francisco he met Miss
Constance Margaret Braddon, who had
come OUT from London in charge of
Austin Brereton to be married to the
critic After the wedding the three came
east, and Scott and Brereton worked to-
gether describing the opening of the Chi
cago Worlds fair for the London Tele-
graph. Scott passed some rather sour
criticisms on the Chicago stockyards and
the United States in general which he
said he hoped the Yankees wouldn't feel
sore about. AS matter of fact he
needn't have worried about that part of
it, for mighty few Yankees ever found
time 10 read what he wrote about their
country.
Wears Dainty Dressing Gowns.
According to some accounts Scott must
be rather an odd sort.
When in London, he lives very luxuri-
ously and, they say, is distinguished for
his dainty dressing gowns Of green satin
and other materials generally monopoliz-
ed by members of the fair sex. He is
also reported to wear a gold bracelet on
his left wrist, where it has been fastened
permanently. 1t is impossible to see him
unless you make a previous appointment
with him by mail, and he delights to re-
ceiye his visitors in his rather womanish
house attire.
Scott is not far from 60. His father
was clergyman OF the church of Eng
land, but Clement became a Roman
Catholic several years ago.

AS TO SLATE-MAKING.

Commenting upon the report
ed conferences between Gov.
Stephens, eX-Gov. Stone and
other Democratic politicians for
the purpose of fixing states, the
Dunklin Democrat remarks:
There is too much trading
in Missouri politics going on.
There should be something left
for the delegates to do, besides
the shouting, when they go to
State conventions. If all the
states are made months before
the conventions meet; it the
Governor and State officers aud
committeeman are agreed on be-
forehand, the counties might as
we'll write letters to the con.
vention officers and let them
cast their votes"
This is timely and to the
point. 1t embodies 4 strong
argument in favor of the plan
to nominate candidates by par,
ty primaries. Caucuses of State
bosses make states in secret
caucus and fix delegations to
suit themselves, through the
county committeeman. Then
trades and com binations are
made in the conventions. The
cut-and-dried programme, with
such notifications and compro-
misses as may be necessary to
placate disgruntled politicians,
is put through.
1t is easy to fix machine poll
ticiaus, but difficult to Fix the
voters. When candidates are
nominated by primaries a few
politicians in caucns cannot fl

The voters cannot be counted
