the matter Is to be left for future nego-
tiation It was understood that on the
other points the French proposition has

Anything infringes patent if it
infringes any claim of a patent, and,
as patents sometimes have many
claims, so each claim is to be con
sidered by itself on this question of
infringement. The claim of a patent
is, therefore, the vital part. BY its
Interpretation the patent must stand
or fall. The patents procured through
e. G. Siggers, Patent Lawyer, Wash
ington, d. c., are always broad and
valid, as particular attention is paid
to the claims. Any old claim will
not answer in his off ce.

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.. !:
have now used two bot
ties of Peruna, and am well man to-
day. Icould feel the good effects of your
medicine before L had used it a week,
after suffering with catarrh for over a
year" Respectfully, A. T. Goodwin.
Catarrh in it's various forms is rapidly
becoming national curse. An un-
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DIR. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Prominent men have come to
know of it's virtues and are making pub
lie utterances on the subject. To save
the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease The disease that is
at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh. Public men of all
parties recognize in Peruna national
catarrh remedy of unequaled merit.
Send to DIR. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio,
for free book on catarrh.

Beef-Making on Every Farm.

R. M. Allen, in an address to west
ern stockmen, said AS to scale of
operations, l have never had any ex-
perience of feeding number Of cattle
small enough to watch carefully with
my own eyes during the process of fat
tening. The proper form the industry
of cattle feeding should take, for the
real permanent benefit of meat-pro-
ducing country is that of generally
moderate scale of operations, and some
beef, at least, should be produced on
every farm. This is the only rational
method of retaining the fertility of the
soil of this country. The only objec-
ton to very small scale of operations,
such as the production OF half a dozen
or ten steers year on one farm, Is
the difficulty of marketing this small
number to advantage. Another diff
ficulty in the way OF marketing
small numbers is, that many OF the
class of farmers who are compelled
through limited capital, to feed on a
very small scale II at all, do not. in
this part of the world at least, know
enough about cattle to be able to get
fair value wien they sell them. Scat
tered about through every portion of
the country are men feeding on more
or less liberal scale who are we'll
posted and skillful cattlemen, but |
Judge that there is a far larger num-
Der of farmers who should understand
the practice of cattle feeding but who
do not. This number will naturally
become smaller: but 1t is particularly
this class whom 1t is important
to instruct, as the practice of
cattle feeding upon all such
farms, IL properly done, will con-
tribute much more to the strength OF
meat production as an industry than
the larger operations Of a small num-
her OF feeders. / doubt IL we shall ever
see the ideal picture that / have drawn
fully realized, and cattle feeding will
probably continue to be more or less
of special industry, but 1t should be
our aim to approximate this rendition
as much as possible.

home. could enumerate many stock
men and farmers who have nearly
tankrupted themselves, largely on ac-
count OF their unfamiliarity with the
growth and development OF these west
ern breeds. Again. quite number OF
farmers came to the conclusion some
years ago that 1t did not pay to keep
COW herd; that the amount OF feed
and care they required rendered them
Improbable; that steers which they
wanted could be bought cheaper than
raised. These very same farmers are
now struggling to develop their COW
herds, and good herd Of them is en-
Wed almost above anything else on thu
farm. This is another reason why II
pays to keep right on raising ones own
cattle. Nearly every farmer who has
done so is less subjected to financial
embarrassment, because he Is more
able to make accurate calculations OF
his income, Then, again, some Stock
raisers think there is always money
to be made in full-feediug, when II
very frequently happens that the steers
fulfilled would have netted the owner
more clear cash IL they had been sold
off of grass. 1t is now apparently most
profitable here to sell steers between
two and three years old. whether full
fed or sold off grass. Usually four or
FIVE times as much pork as beef can
be produced with the same amount OF
corn, and this should be taken into &C
count in an intelligent comparison
with beef production in its most eco
nomic sense. Usually we'll bred cattle
make the most gain. and sell for a
higher price than scrubs.

New Hybrid Gamma.

J. A. Kemp Of Dickson county.
Tenn, writes to Rural New Yorker
that he has at last succeeded In
blooming a hybrid between the Or
hid-fowering or Italian type of Caa-
mas, and dwarf Gamma Of the ordi-
nary French or bedding type. The
Italian Cannas are supposed to be d.
rect hybrids of Gamma flaccida, our ma
tive southern species, while the
French varieties have descended from
Gamma Indica and other tropical forms.
A horticultural firm in Italy has pro-
duced and disseminated all the Cannas
OF the Orchid-fowering type now in
commerce, except the yellow variety,
Burbank, which was grown by Luther
Burbank of California.
A number of fine varieties, varying
in color Of foliage and bloom, all pro-
ducing flowers of really enormous size.
are now becoming familiar in this
country, and countless have been the
efforts to hybridize these fine sorts
with the common bedding Cannas. In
order to secure greater substance OF
petal, and increased profusion OF
bloom; but up to this time. the hy-
birds of Flaccida have proved sterile,
both as pollen and seed parents. Mr..
Kemp says that his pet is cross be-
tween Parthenope, an Italian variety
bearing very large reddish-salmon
flowers, and the Duke OF MARI
borough, the darkest crimson
bedding variety, the latter be-
ing the seed parent. He says that the
resulting flowers are OF the most
gorgeous crimson coloring, but not OF
much better substance than the best
Of the Italian type. He Is glad to
show that our southern climates are
favorable to work of this character.
and to demonstrate the possibility OF
cross that has heretofore failed IN
many expert hands.

The Home Herd.

Albert Pogler: One Of the foremost
considerations in beef production is
that we, as stock raisers, should grow
our own stock. This ! regard as very
important matter. The large number
of failures in the cattle business points
to the fact that we, as farmers. are
not sufficiently we'll acquainted with
the effects of acclimation and domesti-
cation of cattle brought from any great
distance to the south or west. In other
words, we are unfamiliar with the
amount OF shrinkage likely to occur
during the period Of adjustment to eli
matte snd other conditions. Nor do
we understand the laws Of growth of
these foreigners, and compare them too
favorably with well-bred animals at

The Illinois state horticultural So
ciety will make an exhibit OF fruits,'
consisting mainly of apples, at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
in 1901. The exposition will open
May and close November /, and ii
is intended to have the fruit exhibit
continuous, from the opening to the,
close. The apples for this show must
come largely from this seasons crop,
and in order to have them properly
represent the fruit interests of the
state the specimens must be carefully
selected, wrapped, packed and placed
in cold storage until wanted for ex-
hibition. The horticultural Society
expects that fruit will. be contributed
for this purpose by Individual grow
ers, horticultural societies and other
organizations. Proper credit will be
given the grower, the society, and To-
cality by entering the fruit In the
name of the grower and society the
same as II he were making the exhibit
in person, and by placards upon the
fruit when exhibited, giving the grow
er's name, locality and state.
All fruit growers are asked to aid
In the matter Of securing the fruit
from this state. The society will do
what 1t can, but 1t depends upon you,
the grower, to make the exhibit from
Illinois success The exhibit will be
largely commercial one, that Is, one
for the purpose of enlarging our for
eign markets for apples. and this is a
subject OF great interest to Illinois
fruit growers. Illinois stands In the
front In the fruit exhibit at Paris this
year, but In order to retain her pres
tige, must continue her work In the
line of exhibits of fruit and the OPP
portunity presented at Buffalo should
not be neglected. Shall the state be
properly represented? This is for you
to decide. You must do what you can.
Will you contribute one, two, five or
fruit, and ship it to cold storage in
proper season? Write the secretary,
whose address you will find below,
how much you win contribute and
| what varieties. and he Will see that
you have paper for wrapping the
fruit and shipping tags furnished you.
Are you interested enough in Illinois
horticulture to do this? The commits
sion will pay the freight. storage and
all other charges and place the fruit
on the tables, without any charge to
| you. We want one hundred barrels
Of apples from this state and the
amount will be small to each one. "
each does his part.
1t will save expense to the society II
you will pick, wrap and pack the fruit,
as per the directions which will be
furnished you later, but II you find
this will be impossible, write the sec
rotary, and some one will be sent to
assist in the work. Not less than one
peck Of any one variety should be fur
nished; one-half barrel or full bar
rel of each variety preferred. 1t Is not
intended to collect large number OF
| varieties, but those most generally
grown for market, therefore full
| barrel of one variety will be acceptable
and is desired.-L. r. Bryant, Secre-
tary, Princeton, Illinois.
