HORSE BLANKETS. 



The patent of the Burlington Blanket Company, 

 covering horse blankets, has been infringed. The 

 company propose to protect their rights, and make 

 the following statement : 



" Without threatening or insinuation, we desire to 

 inform you as members of the trade, that the patent 

 upon this blanket is of great value to us and that its 

 infringement is a direct wrong and injury to us which 

 we are neither required nor disposed to endure. This 

 invention of Mr. Ransom has marked an era in the 

 manufacture of horse blankets, and the infringement 

 of our rights is a tribute to the excellency of the 

 invention more emphatic than any words of commen- 

 dation which we might utter. Mr. Ransom's idea was 

 the product of long and continuous study of the 

 problem of properly covering the horse and keeping 

 the cover attached during all his ordinary and natural 

 movements." Circulars describing the patent and 

 infringement can be obtained by addressing the Bur- 

 lington Blanket Co., Burlington, Wisconsin.

THOROUGHBRED STOCK. 



The value and importance of keeping only thoroughbred stock 

 is being recognized by farmers in general, but particularly by 

 the irrigating farmers of the West. It costs no more to feed a 

 good quality of stock than it does a poor one and their value and 

 the profits are much greater. For an illustrated and descriptive 

 catalogue of the best breeds of thoroughbred cattle, sheep, hogs, 

 poultry and dogs, write to S. W. Smith, Cochranville, Chester 

 county, Penn.

The pumping plant at Prosser Falls, Washington, 

 which was supplied by the Stilwell-Bierce & Smith- 

 Vaile Co., has been running four months and there 

 have been no breaks of any kind. Reports say that 

 the land irrigated by the water from this plant will 

 yield sixty bushels to the acre of first-class corn, as 

 well as splendid crops of all sorts of vegetables, 

 fruits, castor beans, etc. Five months ago this land 

 was simply covered with sagebrush.
