UNRECoGN1zED INvENToRS.
Allen who Have Never Renped the
Rewnrd of Their Genius.


The friends of Dr.. Theodore Rug.
giles Timby, who died recently aged
81, poor and generally neglected, are
convinced that he invented the re-
volving gun turret first used on war
vessels of the Monitor type, the New
York Times says. Many persons IN
public life have admitted the priority
Of Timby's invention to Ericsson's.
His model, suggested to him by the
round fort called Castle William on
Governors Island, was exhibited in
New York as long ago as 1S43. But
it was John Ericsson's turreted boat,
built by Winslow, Griswold & Bushnell,
which met the Merrimac at Hampton
roads. There is no proof whatever
that Ericsson ever saw Timby's model.
There used to be in New York until
some time in the sos of h last cen
fury a gentleman with an inventive
mind, large public spirit and a host
of friends, named Henry Stuart, and
generally described as the man with
the wax nose" Mr.. Stuart invented,
in his prolific and energetic mind,
many things Of great potentiality. He
foresaw the growth of the city, the
need Of tunnels and suspension bridges
and elevated railroads. His inventions
came to naught. The tunnels, bridges
and elevated roads were built or the
plans of others when they were need
ed. Mr.. Stuart is worth recalling be-
cause Of the great admiration many
distinguished men of his time had for
his alert and inventive mind.
The Monitor was built when it was
needed. Franklin chained the light
ming. Morse sent messages over wires
by electricity, Fulton applied steam
to navigation in the propitioUs mo-
ment. The world is full of unrecos-
nized inventors, poets and musicians.
The personality that stamps itself
upon the world in a critical hour, the
genius hat car make itself felt, is
rarer than the mere power of concep-
ton. Timby's lot was a common lot.
He lacked the personal force and n
of fitness required of the man who
wins contemporary fame and turns 1t
into fortune. 1t is nonsense to say
he lacked friends. He seems to have
had a host of them in his prime. But
nobody wanted a revolving gun tur-
ret when his model was made and he
was out of the running when a re-
volving turret was wanted.

Who Was Wantedf

1t is the custom of many business
houses to tell each prospective employee
very explicitly exactly what is and
what is not expected of him before
he takes his new place. Sometimes
these directions are printed even in
the advertising for help, as in the
following instance, taken from a Lon
don newspaper:
We will pay-so ran the advertise
ment-good wages to first class, live
stenographers who will allow our bust
ness to come before their sweethearts,
theaters and pleasure parties; our
hours are from 9 a. m. till 6 D. NJ,
but sometimes we work later; clock
watchers are useless to us.

The Farmer.

He used to wear his p~antaloons
Inside his muddy boots;
He used to sing outlandish tunes
And dress in mitfit suits;
He used to rise at h~alf-past -four
And milk and hoe and plow;
He doesn't do SC any more,
He's counting money now.
The callouses upon his hands
Were softened long ago.;
For employees prepare his lands .
For natures fertile show.
There is no sorrow in his eye
Nor anger on his brow.
Things are not as in days gone by,
He's counting money now.

SfIaEe Considered Best Feed.

Silage is one of the most valuable
and economical coarse feeds that can
be had for dairy cows, or, in fact, for
any class of animals. 1t is adapted to
a very wide range of use. 1t can be
fed to almost every kind of farm ami
mails, and is one of the best succulent
foods for dairy COWS that can be OBJ
tanned. Silage is invaluable to the
dairy farmer. owing to the fact that
it can be utilized in building up the
old pasture, to take the place of pas
ture grass entirely, or to produce the
necessary food at off seasons of the
year.

An aching back is instantly

An aching back is instantly

Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place

Frequently one hears the complaint
that the lard work incident to filling
a silo far outbalances the superiority
of ensilage over dry fodder. They
claim that dry fodder is good enough
and that although the cattle do not
eat all of it they eat that which con-
tains the most n~ourishment. IT is a
readily conceded fact that there will
be waste in connection with fodder
even in it's best form.
The Indiana Experiment Station has
shown that this waste varies from 20
to 80 per cent. The same authority
tells us that cattle will consume all Of
the silage if it is not fed in excessive
quantities. Further than this, the 81
lage goes to them in the shape hat
provides a s%ucculent feed most nearly
experimenting the condition of pas
ture. 1t is generally accepted that the
dairy COW does best when upon fresh
grass. Granted that this is the case,
the more nearly you can produce fresh
grass conditions the better will be
dairying will be.
AFTER all, Wnen you come to hgure
the work Of shocking corn, drawing it
to the shredder, putting the grain in
the crib and shredded fodder in the
NOW, there is little difference between
the work necessary for filling the silo
and getting the dry feed ready for
feeding.
There is another point to be taken
into consideration and that is the fact
that the grain in the silage is all ready
Tor feeding without grinding. If the
grain is to be fed in connection with
the shredded fodder, it will be neces-
sary to grind or chop it at least. This
task is saved by the silo

Wool substance is what the wool
grower is looking for, provided it is
not made up of too coarse fbers. which
is not usually the case. Density and
fine fibers are usually associated.
A dense fleece may usually be recog-
niZed in several ways. A fine close
fleece generally is more oily than a
coarse fibered one. An oily fleece is a
dust catcher, and usually presents a
dark, gummy outer appearance. Sec
ondly, a close fleece separates into
small areas when the mass of the fleece
is stroked with the hand, while a
coarse fleece presents larger areas
when handled in the same manner.
Appearance frequently is alone sufi-
cient to distinguish the fluffy open
fleece from the close fleece.
The most satisfactory way of de-
termining density is by graspiDg a
handful of wool as it grows on the
sheep. If there is substance to the
wool, a handful is secured, if substance
is lacking the hand will not be full.
This test for density car be applied
rapidly in a flock and is very salts.
factory.
A dense fleece is valuable not alone
for the increase in quantity of wool
but for the protection that 1t affords
the animal from the elements and the
dust and chaff that flies about in the
yards where they are fed. 1t is only
necessary to compare the open and the
close fleece to appreciate this differ
ence.

Rats and Rat Killers.

Among the natural enemies of rats
are the larger hawks and owls, skunks,
foxes, coyotes. weasels, minks. dogs,
cats and ferrets. Probably the great
est factor in the increase of rats, mice
and other destructive rodents in the
United States has been the persistent
killing off of the birds and mammals
that prey upon them. Animals that
on tie whole are decidedly beneficial,
since they subsist upon harmful in
sects and rodents, are habitually de-
stroEed by some farmers and sports
men because they occasionally kill a
chicken or a game bird.
Tie value of carnivorous animals
and the larger birds of prey in Destroy
ing rats should be more fully recog-
nized, especially by the farmer and
the game preserver. Rats actually de-
stroy more poultry and game, both
eggs and young chicks, than all the
birds and wild mammals combined, yet
some of our most useful birds of prey
and c~arnivorous mammals are perse-
cuted almost to the point of extinction.
An enlightened public sentiment
should cause the repeal of all bounties
on these animals and afford protection
to the majority of them.
Rats are wild beasts, and are among
mans worst enemies. There should
be incessant and uneompromising war
against them.
