ADVERSE SEPARATOR DECISION.


The so-called Economy" cream sep
arators, in their various "Styles" and
Models" as they have been sold by
Sears, Roebuck & Co., are swept from
the market by court decision of vital
interest to the people in general and
to dairy farmers in particular. The
catalogue house and all of its repre-
sentatives, agents and associates have
been forbidden not only to sell these
machines, but also to use them.
This decision, with it's far-reaching
effect, was handed down November
81, 1907, by the Hon. Charles M.
Hough, Judge of the United States
Circuit Court for the Southern District
of New York. 1t is the outcome of
suit brought against Sears, Roebuck
a. Co. for using or causing to be used,
in the construction of their Improved
Economy" cream separators, pat
ented device which is jointly owned
and controlled by the Empire Cream
Separator Company, of Bloomfield, N.
j., and the Vermont Farm Machine Co.,
of Bellows Falls, VT, to-wit, under
Letters Patent of the United States
No. 555893, March 3, 1896.
The suit was bitterly contested, but
in the final decision every claim OF
the complainant companies was up
held and a perpetual injunction issued
restraining Sears, Roebuck & Co. from
making, selling or in any way dispos-
ing of a cream separator in which We
patented device in question was used.
The court further ordered that
Sears. ROebuck & Co. make an ac-
counting to the complainant compan-
les, specifying the number OF hiring
ing machines sold, at what price they
were sold, to whom they were sold,
and the profits realized on their sale,
and the damage caused to complain
ants thereby. This accounting is for
the purpose of arriving at an equlta-
ble financial settlement in favor OF
the patent owners.
The point of most general interest
in connection with this decision is the
fact that under the law every lndlvld-
nal user of these Improved Economy"
cream separators is personally liable
to suit on the ground of infringement
NV use. In other words, the dairy
farmers who have purchased this type
of machine from the catalogue mouse
must either abandon the use OF them
entirely or make arrangements TO nave
radical changes made in the bowl. In
either case the past use OF the machine
renders them liable to suit for IN
fringement at the will of the owners OF
the patents, and the continued use OF
the machine renders them liable TO IN
junction as we'll

placed at thirty pounds daily. We
would consider them too costly to feed
in larger quantities or to be given to
fattening cattle. Carrots contain more
lat producing elements per one hun
dred pounds than do mangels. I'm
like beets, the carrot does not COM
pletely cover the ground on which it is
grown, and hence requires more work
to keep it clean, which is undoubtedly
the reason why the crop is grown to
such a limited extent.

than any other farm animal, is sure to
make her a strong factor in our eco
nomic calculation in the future
