TWO VALUABLE DEVICES
THAT ARE NOT PATENTED

Four Rusk county men, J. e. Frost

town that bears their name, are given
| deserved credit for inyenting and per-
fecting a very valuable device for
| robbing stumps of their terrors to the
land clearer, in a pamphlet just is
sued by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of the University of Wiscon-
sim These devices are the Conrath
piler and Frost trip. We take the
following excerpts from this PAM
phlet:
| The Conrath piler and the Frost
| trip, taking their names from the
farmers near I4adysmith who designed
| and made them for their own use, are
| good examples of the devices that
have been worked out by farmers
| themselves and populariZed by the
College Of Agriculture and other or
carnations for the Improvement of
land clearing methods. When Frank
and Charles Conrath got tired of pill
ing by hand and later tired of the gin
/ pole they built their first piler with a
/ swinging boom. Mr.. Frost a neigh
Dor, perfected the piler with his trip.
| Neither of these devices has been
patented.
/ During the experimental work of
1913 Warren Moore, foreman of the
experimental crew, designed the circu-
lar hook with narrow opening to re-
place the ring on the tag chain. He
also made minor improvements in the
