GERMANY IS GOOD TO CRANKS.

Buys Useful War Devices.

In Germany the government welcomes
'cranks" and inventors. 1t keeps an eX
aiming board at work all the time look
ing into every proposal for improvement
in war materials or instruments. The
board takes c0gnizance also of everything
offered to the patent office. If it is
good thing, useful to the government, it
never gets patented at all. The govern
ment buys it and keeps the secret, says a
London newspaper.
In England the only chance that an in
ventor has is to secure a patent for his
invention, and thereby he publishes il
to the world. Even then the government
will not touch it unless forced by the
example of other governments or COM
PEELED by the personal influence of the
inventor and his friends. No matter
what the invention may be, the examin-
ing staff Of the British patent office has
no means Of calling the attention of the
secretary of state for war to it,
1t IS provided in the patent act that
an invention can be assigned to the sec
rotary of state and 50 kept secret. but no
instance of this being done has ever been
hnown except in the case of those actual
" employed in government offices or the
national arsenals.

Few housekeepers remember. as they
should, that when it is necessary to di-
lutte strong tea it should be done with
water at the boiling point, The poor
favor Of tea, made strong at first and
then reduced, such as is too often serv-
ed at receptions and 'at homes" is
usually caused by the addition of hot,
not boiling, water to the first infusion.
A lesson in this matter may be had
from the Russians, who serve the most
delicious tea in the world, and who pre-
pare it first very strong, making ii al
most an essence of tea. This is dl-
luted to the strength wished, with wa
ter kept boiling in the samovar. This
water is not allowed to boil and re-
boil, but is renewed as needed. Fresh
ly boiled water is insisted upon by all
connoisseurs in tea-making.

Buying Grains for Cattle.

In most sections the main trouble in
feeding this winter will come from the
lack of grain home grown. To those
who must buy more or less grain the
advice is to buy now and in as large
quantities as you can afford, for the
market is rising and grains are more
likely TO be higher than lower. For the
dairy cows, gluten meal should form
part of the ration, and the roughaSc
should be Utilized to the last degrae,

great quantity of digestible food in it.
Bran should also form a part of the IA
ton, not only because of its food value,
but because of its laxative effect on
the system. A good ration for the av
erage dairy COW is twenty-five pounds
Of corn ste or, three pounds of gluten
