In AND ABOUT The COURTS
IUPORTA NJ BACCO DECISION BY
JUDGE TOWNSEND.

Decides that Connecticut Growers Do
Not Infringe Ohio Patent iu spottins
Tobacco voluntary Assignment by
| John G. ber-Eankruptcy Cases
Before Referee Newton - cay Court
Cases.
Judge Townsend Of the United States
court yesterday decided the celebrated
tobacco leaf case, caused by the suit
brought to prevent Connecticut topac-
co growers from using a certain solu-
ton to make yellow npots on the leaves
in imitation of Sumatra tobacco.
The suit was brought by Clyde A.
Richard and Edward N. Long OF ONO
against John A. Dubon of Hartford.
The latter is only nominal defendant,
the real defense being made by the
Connecticut Tobacco Growers associa-
ton. The complainants have patent
on a solution of potash and glycerine
which is sprinlzled on tobacco leaves to
spot them. The Connecticut growers
have used a solution of caustlc SODA
burnt sugar, molasses and glycerlne.
The Ohio men claimed this was an in
fringement but the court finds other
wise and dismisses the bill of the com
plainants.
The decision means a good many
thousands of dollars in the pockets of
the Connecticut growers, who are gath
ering big crop this year, all of which
has been sprinkled. Had the decision
been unfavorable to them they would
have been made to pay large sum to
the Ohio patentees.
In the closing part Of his opinion
Judge Townsend says: I'm any event,
the defendant in making spotted to-
bacco has only appropriated the decep-
tive and fraudulent element of the COM
plainants' patent, but as he has not
improved the burning qualities of the
tobacco by the use of the alkall OF
the second claim, or of potash and gly-
cerine of the third claim, he has not in
fringed.''
1t is said the process of spotting to-
bacco leaves by the use OF some solu-
ton is a half century old

MANAGEMENT OF BEES.
A Large Honey Crop Depends Upon
the Strength, Not the Number,
of Colonies.

If we would have bees in the best
possible condition to obtain a large
yield of honey we would commence
operations as early as possible. 4 large
honey crop depends principally upon
the strength of colonies, and not upon
the number of colonies. One good col
ony that is strong in numbers, and in
every way in proper condition, will
store more surplus honey than doZLn
weak ones, and the proper thing to do
is to get everyone as near the desired
strength and condition, and also at the
time needed. Localities differ to some
extent as to the time of the principal
honey harvest, but just at the opening
of the same is the time we want our
colonies ready. Usually we are safe in
commencing as soon as the weather will
permit.
The first thing is to examine every
colony as to condition. Good prolific
queens, and those only, can we build
upon. 1t is useless to spend time with
inferior queens, for there is no plan
to work to, to make a success of such.
Old queens, say from three years old
and over, may all be discarded, as there
is no exception at this age worth both
ering with. A few such queens may
seem all right at the beginning, but
in the end they will not prove so, and
will be everlastingly starting queen
cells and preparing to swarm.
If profitable queens are not available
the best thing to do is to unite all col
onies coptai~ing inferior queens with
fhnSo barinC crnnd lprnlifia
queens. While this may cut down the
number of colonies, it will pay in the
end. This defect may always be pro-
vided for during the fall previous if
proper precautions are taken to re-
queen all such colonies, and at this time
we have a good chance to detect all in
ferior queens, and also owing to the
supply of cheap queens it is much less
expensive and less troublesome at this
time.-A. H. Duff. in National Rural.

says an English exchange. The princi-
pal deficiency is in iron and phos-
phorus, two elements of primary i'm
portance in the ailment of human be-
ings. Fowls obtain a very large per-
centage of these substances from the
vegetable kingdom, and if the supply
of green food is withdrawn the yolks
very soon assume a pale color. The
deficiency can be supplied to great
extent by putting some sulphate of
iron or sirup of phosphates in the
drinking water, but this is not a natu-
raj method, and it is much better to
supply green food in plenty.

PROVIDE PURE WATER.
unless an Abundant supDly OF 1t In
at Hand Sheep Raising VIII
Not BE Profitable.

''Stagnant water is the best vehicle
for conveying the parasites that infest
the sheep. If you have not abundant
supply of clear, pure water, easy % ac-
cess to sheep, we hasten to advise you
not to attempt sheep raising.
Low, marshy or spouty land is an
abomination to the fockmaster; but
Kansas is so free from this charaater
of land that the caution seems uncailed
for. But the ponds-the ponds some
times called artificial lakes, but ra ther
artificial cesspools-drain them, drain
them dry, or apply the herd law and
tence them (the sheep) out"
The above true remarks were made
by Hon. F. d. Coburn, of Kansas, and
will be indorsed by all practical shep-
herds. It has as truly been said the
hog cholera follows the course of
streams, is most virulent near their
banks and fades out at distance from
such waters. We know, too, that an
thraX is often spread by watering
ponds and creeks, and we see from the
above the danger of stagnant water for
sheep. In England the liver fluke,
which passes one period of its life his
tory within the body of water snails, is
only prevalent in low-lying, marshy
places. 1t is likewise true of some of
the intestinal parasites of sheep that
they are worst on such lands, and it is
proverbial that sheep should be kept
high and dry. Some argue that sheep
do not drink water. but they should
just watch them in hot summer weather
when the grasses are dewless even in
the early morning. They do drink wa
ter, and it should be pure. We have
known of wholesale abortion among
ewes which drank water polluted with
the leechings of a manure pile.
We have seen an epidemic of enteric
disease among sheep from drinking
stagnant water, while the ophthalmic
disease of sheep and cattle may often
be traced to a similar source of infec-
ton. One always finds on investiga-
tion that a successful sheep-raising
country is country flowing with pure
streams of water and dotted with ponds
fed by everlasting springs.-Farners

MOVABLE PIG PEN

other swine and still give them the ad-
vantage of green feed. This pen is
cheap and easily constructed and light
enough to be easily moved by two men,
or even one, and it need be moved but
few feet to make a change to new
ground.
The pen is eight by sixteen feet, made
of two-by-fours and fencing boards,
three or four feet high, according to the
size of the pigs it is to contain. Three
pairs of two-byfour posts, each about
six feet long, are used to spike the
boards to. The lower board should be
nailed on four inches from the bottom,
as when the pen is lifted in moving the
pigs could escape if the boards are
higher. Nail brace at the top of each
pair of posts. If the pen is to contain
pigs large enough to lift or move it in
roofing beneath it can very easily be
staked down. Bore inch holes in each
of the corner posts and put a wire
through it, making loop a foot and n
half in length. Make a stake of some
hard wood with notch near the upper
end to catch this loop. With one of these
at each corner you can fasten the pen se-
curely.-J. L. Irwin, in Ohio Farmer.

SHEEP SUGGESTIONS.

Only keep your best sheep. Fatten
and market all the old ewes.
Breed from young ewes. They
raise better, more vigorous and health
ier lambs.
In recent transactions in sheep in
Montana three dollars per head has
been paid for yearling and two-year-
old ewes.
A great deal depends on your soil
and pasture as to the kind of sheep
you raise. Heavy herds will not do as
well as smaller ones.
1t takes from three to four bushels
of grain to fatten q sheep, and we
figure on ten tons of roughness for
200 sheep during the average feeding
season.
Sheltering lambs from heavy, cold
transforms which occur for a month
and a half before winter sets in is
economy. They should be regularly
housed every night. They should be
taught TO eat grain in early autumn.
1t is well to have racks of hay ready
for them in their stables, and they
will soon learn to eat.-Rural World.

This subject has been given attention
before, but l will repeat that it is prev
alent during this season. Swollen heads
and eyes are due to exposure to drafts
of air, usually top ventilation. Wash
the heads with a solution made of ten
drops of carbolic acid in gill of water,
inject into each nostril two drops of
equal parts of camphorated oil and
crude petroleum, and give each fowl
two grains of bromide of potash in milk
or soft food. Repeat daily until the
birds recover, but in all cases remove
them to a dry, warm place and out of

Gypsum No Longer Popular.

1t used to be very general custom
among those who were called good
farmers, to use every year some gypsum
or land plaster to sow over the potato
vines, squashes, melons and cucumbers,
and even on grass ground, where clover
was wanted A few also advocated its
use in the stables as an absorbent. Now
this seems to have been almost discon-
tinued. The acid phosphate is found to
be a better absorbent ard decd 5-:zer
in the stables, and to add more to the
value of the manure at but slight in
crease of cost, while with a mixture of
the phosphate and muriate of potash
much better results can be obtained by
sowing on the vines or on grass land.
Plaster has lost much of its popularity,
no: because it Is not as good as it ever
was, but because farmers and garden
ers have learned there is something bet
ter, and the best is the cheapest, even If
1t costs the higest tprice.-American CuI.

cent stocks Of goods in all lines
from which almost any article can
be secured, and it is right that you
should give them the preference in

they are your neighbors and

tribute to the support OF its insti
