PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time in tbe history
of oar co a ij try when tbe demand for
inventions and improvements in tbe arte
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
tbe factory and workshop, the household
and oa tbe farm, as well as in official
life, require continual accessions to tbe
appurtenance and implements of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
Tbe political change in tbe administra
tion of government does not affect tbe
progress of the American inventor, who
being on tbe alert, and ready to per
ceive tbe existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
ter bim from quickly conceiving tbe
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great cire cannot be exer
cised iu cboosing a competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been lost and destroyed iu
innumerable instances by tbe employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as tbe breadth
and strength of tbe patent is never con
sidered iu view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain tbe fee.

Only the Scars Remain,
"Among the many testimonials which I
tee in regard t certain medicines perform
ing cures, clea ixslng the blood, etc.," writes
Benky II I'd son, of the James Smith
Woolen Machinery Co.,
Philadelphia, Fa., "none,
Impress me more than mj
own cue. Twenty years
ago, at the age of 18 years,
1 bad swellings come on
my legs, which broke and
became running sores.
Our family physician could
do me no good, and it was
feared that the bones
would be affected. At last,
my good old mother
urged me to try Ayer's
Sarsaparllla. I took three
bottles, the sores healed,
and X have not been
troubled since. Only the
scars remain, and the
memory of the past, to
remind me of the good
Ayer'ft Sargaparllla has done me. I now
weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and
am in the best of health. I have been on the
road for the past twelve years, have noticed
Ayer's Sarsaparilla advertised in all parts
of the United States, and always take pleas
ure in telling what good it did for me."
For the cure of all diseases originating Id
Impure blood, the best remedy is

How to Grow m Successful Crop of Those
Valuable Roots.
Farmers as well as dairymen were
long ago convinced of the great value of
root crops for feeding to Btock. Here is
a plan for growing mangolds, described
by a successful stockgrower in a letter
tp Country Gentleman. He says:
The quantity of seed needed is six
pounds to the acre, if sown by drill, but
half as much if sown by hand. The seed
Is best sown by ahand sower, such an the
Planet, Jr., or others of the same kind
that may be changed by addition of
needed parts to a hand cultivator. The
crop may be sown on a good com stub
ble, but it would bo advisable to give it
two plowings, so that the soil is mellow
and fine. The fertilizer is sown after
the final harrowing. The drilling of the
seen win mix u with the soil better than
the harrow would. When evervthin? is
ready by the fore part of May it is time
tor the sowing. This is done most easily
by the hand drill, which loaves a roller
mark behind it by which the rows mnv
be seen conspicuously when it is desired
to start the cultivator. The rows are 30
inches apart, and by setting the drill
right, which may be tested on a bam
floor, the seed may be dropped three
inches apart or less. The drill covers tho
seed and rolls the ground over it.
When weeds begin to appear, a com
mon cultivator or a small, light sloping
tooth harrow is run in the rows close to
the middle, but not over the seed. This
early cultivation is the main point, and
if it is neglected the weeds set too think
and large on good soil and cover up the
young beets, making the labor of the then
necessary hand hoeing more than the
crop is worth. When the beets come up
m me rows, mey may De thinned out by
a common hoe, made sharp and bright,
so that clean work may be done with it.
My plan is to take the hand cultivator,
set 10 Inches wide or less, and run it
across the two rows, leaving strips three
or four inches wide, by which bunches of
plants are left in the rows, and it makes
very little hand weeding, or none at all,
necessary.
As the beats grow they may be thinned
again, but I have found that when two
plants are growing close together they
may oe lert undisturbed and will be as
large as the single ones. Some of J,he
young plants may be moved carefully to
fill any vacancies in the rows. When the
crop has got a good start, tha leaves meet
in the rows and save work in weeding,
but the cultivator should be kept at work
as long as the leaves permit. No other
crop grows faster than this by thorough
stirring of the ground, and none is so
much injured by weeds. I have sown the
salt after the first working and before
the young plants appear. The long red
mangold is an excellent root, beine ten
der and sweet, and more easily bitten to
pieces by stock of all kinds than the
yellow globe. I have found this to be
convenience in feeding them. Where not
more than five bushels a day are fed thev
may be chopped up in a box by a sharp
spade about as easily as by a machine
uuner.
Capons for Market.
In his investigation on capons and ca
ponizing, Samuel Cushman, poultry
manager or the Khode Island station.
while visiting the New York markets
learned that great quantities of capons
are received about Jan. 1. The finest
specimens and the greatest number
are from New Jersey. None are re
ceived from the east, and those from the
west are of poorer quality and contain a
large proportion of "slips," although
they are growing better each season. At
this time there is hardly a limit to the
demand for capons weighing eight pounds
or over, and "Philadelphia" capons bring
2V cents ana western is cents.
Large birds sell the best, the heavier
the better. When 10-pound birds bring
tt cents, zs cents will be given for 12-
pounders, and 28 cents for those weigh
ing 14 pounds. Capons killed at 10 or 11
months of age are preferred, as they get
coarse and "soggy" if kept until 12
months old or longer. March hatched
capons should be killed in January, The
birds bought in January are placed in
freezers and gradually Bold during the
winter, I he supply is always exhausted
before July. Prices begin to rise the
latter part of February and continue to
go np until there are none in the market.
They are usually scarce in April and
May. beasons when grain is high

and the price is firmer. Frozen capons
cannot compare with those freshly killed
in spring ana early summer.
Potato Notes.
Following ia a condensed review of a
report from the Utah station:
Increasing the size of the pieces of seed
potatoes increases the yield, but it is ques
tionable if pieces larger than fourths will
yield enough more to pay for the extra
amount of seed required result of two
years' trial. Seed from the stem end of
potatoes yielded better than from the
iced end result of one year's trial. So
far as tried no results that would lead to
any conclusion have been obtained from
the use of large and small potatoes for
seed. Level cultivation of potatoes gave
better results than ridged cultivation-
results of two years trial. Hoffman

tatoes tried.
Kerosene emulsion made after the fol

It has been decided at the Ontario

Each house is 12 feet long by 10 wide.
8 feet high in front and 5 feet 4
inches in the rear. The floor and roof
are of matched spruce, and the siding is
of matched pine. The roof is covered
with 2-ply tarred roofing felt, and the
sides aro lined with single ply tarred
paper. The floor, is covered in winter
with a good coating of dry earth. This
is to stop any drafts from coming up
through the floor, and also to provide a
good dust bath for the hens. The roof
should be painted occasionally with coal
tar. Once a year is sufficient. An hour'a

The second cut shows the feeding
trough used for the morning feed. If
one takes an ordinary feeding trou;;h
and lays a wide board over it after lie
has put in the feed, the hens will find it
impossible to get into the feed with their
feet or to deposit any droppings in i t.
If now you raise the board a few inches,
their breakfast is ready. Now raise the
trough a few inches from the floor, and
it takes a lively Biddy to scratch any
litter from the floor into it. Tho cover

basin set under a board that projects an
Inch or more on all sides.
Above the private hen entrance shown
in the first cut is placed the electrical
feedbox or hopper. The small door
which closes this entrance is hung on
pulleys and drops of its own weight
when the catch which holds it is re
leased. The electromagnet seems to do
this, and also to operate a slide which
covers an opening in the bottom of the
feedbox, allowing the grain to fall to
the flow. In falling it strikes a metal
disk, which scatters it and warns Biddy
that supper is ready. It is interesting
work to feed a large flock in this way.
As one touches the button he seems to
touch a nerve in each individual mem
ber of the flock. Instantly every head
goes up, and away they all go home to
supper. The cost of lumber and ma
terial for such a house is about f,2r.
Orchard Grass For Pasture.
Owing to its habit of starting anew as
soon as cut down, almost without regard
to weather or season of the year, if the
ground is not frozen, orchard grass
makes an excellent pasture when thickly
seeded, giving feed both early and late
in the season. It will bear continuous
feeding better than almost anything but
blue grass, but it has one fault: If not
cutor fed down, the last late fall growth,
when heavy, is liable to fall down upon
the crown of the roots and smother itself
out. Those who have it should look out
that there is not much left standing on
the field when winter comes in. It is also
easily smothered by weeds when it first
comes up, and if they are plenty they
should be mown down until the gras3
gets above them.
For pasture sow in April or May, using
about 2-J bushels of seed to the acre. It
may be mown twice the first year if it
does well, and mowing one or two years
would seem to make better pasture after
ward than to turn tho cattle on the first
season. The tufts stool out more and get
better and deeper hold. It will grow
upon almost any field where blue crass
will, though it likes best a rich, deep
oil. If not mown, the cattle should not
be turned on it before the late fall, but
it might be cut and fed green or cured
in July. We should certainly sow blue
grass and white clover with it for pastur
age unless seen that they would come in
spontaneously, says American Cultiva
tor, authority for the foregoing.
Rhode Island's Abandoned Farms.
According to a report from the com
missioner of industrial statistics for
Rhode Island, there are in that state 77
abandoned farms. Upon the majority
of these, it is said, even the grass is not
cut. In the localities of these deserted
farms it appears that there is a regular
drain ujion them for mill help, which
has been in good demand. Then, too,
many of the farms are remote from rail
roads and good markets.

At the Iowa station the results of

THE CAMEUOONS.
j
A Country That Is Giving Ger-
An Torritorj About Which the
English Government Is Vitally Con
cernedThe Dispute About
It Boundaries.
"Battle in the Cameroons," says a re
cent cable. hat and where are the
Cameroons? This from the New York
Herald will elucidate a little:
The Cameroons is a territory on the
liight of liiafra, West Africa, one
hundred and hfty thousand square
miles in extent, and with an estimated
population of two millions. It has a
const line of one hundred and twenty
miles between the Campo river and the
U10 del Key, is bounded on the north
east by a treaty line running north-
east to the east of Yola' on the uPPer
Iic"U('' and on the south by a line run
ning lnianu, due east from the moutn
"f the Campo river, to about the me
idian of longitude fifteen degrees east,
vhich may be regarded as the eastern
r inland limit 01 the so-called "pro-
iectorate."
In 180;; there were one hundred and
sixty-six whites, of whom one hundred
and nine were German and thirty-one
English. It became a German pro
tectorate in 1884, and is placed under
an imperial governor, assisted by a
chancellor, two secretaries and a local
council of three represeutative mer
chants. The country is fertile, and
numerous valuable African vegetable
productions grow in profusion. Plan
tations of cacao and tobacco have been
farmed by a company, and numerous
fuetories carry on an active trade in
ivory and palm oil. On January 1,
1SS6, an import duty was imposed on
lluropean goods, and from this the
revenue is mainly derived. The chief
town is Cameroons, and in the South
Ilatat.ja, Kimbia and ltakundu Town
are other important trading stations,
and Aqua Town and Hell Town are the
principal native settlements. The im
ports and exports are quite large.
In April last, Mr. Henry M. Stanley
wrote to the peace association a letter
in which he attributed the increase of
trade in 1890 at African ports under
German administration to the growing
practice among German merchants of
importing into Africa small arms and
ammunition. These materials of war,
he said, were sold to the slave traders
and do inestimable damage. Mr. Stan
ley inculpated also the Portuguese in
his charges. He appealed to the Euro
pean nations to suppress the traffic in
arms carried on by the Germans and
Portuguese. Unless this step be taken
he added, all efforts to stop the slave
trade would be useless.
In February a German expedition
which was under the command of
Preiherr von Stetten, proceeded from
the Cameroons coast up the river San
naga to llaliuga, whence it traveled to
the thickly populated district of Tikar
and reached Ngaudere and Yola
Treaties were concluded with the nn
five tribes in th" districts passed
through. This reappearance on the
coast, the Kreuz Zeitung pointed out,
was peculiar in view of the statement
made by members of the expedition
that Lalte Tchad was their goal. It is
a fact, though at present an inexplica
ble one, that German expeditions fail
to reach the more easterly portions of
the Hinterland of the Cameroons. The
expedition returned in September.
England and Germany had a long
dispute about the boundaries of the
Cameroons, which was settled in May
last. The third section of the agree
ment reads: "The German colonial
administration engages not to allow
any trade settlements to exist or be
erected on the right bank of the Rio
del Key Creek or waterway. In like
manner the administration of the Oil
rivers protectorate engages not to al
low any trade settlements to exist or
to be erected on the western bank of
the Itakassy peninsula from the first
creek below Arsibon's village to the
sea and eastward from this bank to
the Rio del Rey waterway."
According to the German view the
new agreement is a purely fiscal one,
intended to enable the British and
German administrations to cope with
the widespread smuggling, which was
especially detrimental to the Camer
oons. There had been no question of
altering the frontier laid down by the
provisional agreement of 1890, which,
in consequence of disagreement be
tween the two governments, left the
Iiio del Rey out of count and settled
the frontier as a straight line running
from the upper end of the waterway
to the rapids of tho Cross river. But
this indefinite "upper end" has now
bceu fixed as above set forth. Much
satisfaction was expressed in Berlin at
the pledge given by the English gov
ernment not to allow trade settlements
on the Bakassy peninsula, which other
wise would have afforded an excellent
base for contraband operations.

Gillct, a professional mendicant of
Fans, has the peculiar merit of being
the organizer of a trick for raising
funds which was unknown and un
dreamed of iu the philosophy of the
ablest representatives of the old Cour
des Miracles, says a writer in the
London Telegraph. He pretended to
hang himself from a tree seven times
during the summer, and on each occa
sion he was cut down from his gibbet
by Good Samaritans, who invariably
sent round the hat for him on the spot.
In some instances the rescuers may
have been Gillet'sconfederatcs, but ac
cording to what can be gathered he
usually preferred to work alone. Hav
ing selected a fine day for his opera
tions, Gillet dressed himself carefully
and went to the woods of Boulogne or
Vincennes. He next made choice of a
tree near where young children were
playing, and having put a noose round
his neck strung himself np. Then he
groaned and attracted the children,
who ran in alarm to their mothers or
nurses, until in a moment there was a
crowd around him. Men summoned to
the spot, and sometimes the women
who were called, extricated the artful
mendicant from his apparently peril
ous position. He was extended on the
grass, his hands were rubbed, cordials
were pressed to his lipt and smell
ing bottles put under his nose.
When he revived the first question put
to him was naturally: Why did he
do it? Pointing to a pocket of his coat
he would say: "Here is a letter which
will explain all'.'' The document be
ing opened contained a communication
to the effect that Gillet wanted to
hang himself of his own free will. Hi-,
desire to die was caused by destitution,
and he had not eaten for two days. A

he instantly regained the use of his
limbs, and before leaving his generous
sympathizers treated them to a brief
autobiographical sketch, which set
forth that he was a respectable young
man from the country who had been
stranded in Paris and could find no
work to do. It is recorded that Gillet
performed this trick with great suc
cess between July and September, not
only in the woods about Paris, but
also in the park at Versailles and in
the forest of St. Germain. In the last
mentioned place he had the good for
tune to be cut down just as a generous
Paris hanker was passing by, who gave
him a liberal donation. Gillet natur
ally took care to tie his noose in a man
ner calculated to produce the effect
which he intended without imperiling
his life. In the winter, when the
woods are comparatively deserted, Gil
let adopted the old trick of pretending
to faint or to have an epileptic fit at
the corner of the street. His fraud
has at last been detected and charita
ble people have been warned against
his knavery, which has not only de
ceived ordinary men and women but
also astute members of the police force.
CUNNING OF CROCODILES.
They scape the Net Spread for Them by

The following is a fair sample of how
cunningly crocodiles, in common with
all other wild animals, can conceal
themselves in moments of danger, says
the Westminster Gazette. After a
happy week spent in the jungle with
a friend of mine we halted for break
fast, before making the last stage for
headquarters and home, at a place
called Poonarhyn Anglicc. garden of
flowers and while at breakfas' were
amused by watching a number of croc
odiles, about eight or ten, sunning
themselves on the surface of a small
lake, or tank, as it is there called, of
about an acre ill extent. A sudden
thought .struck me.
