THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



POULTRY PRODUCT. 



Not many farmers are aware of the magnitude of 

 the poultry product of the United States. The cow is 

 so much larger than the hen that she is apt to be 

 looked upon as being more important, but the facts 

 are, the poultry product is more than double that of 

 our dairy product. It behooves farmers, therefore, to 

 look well after the poultry industry, and to do it 

 rightly, a first-class incubator should be used. "THE 

 RELIABLE," manufactured by the Reliable Incubator 

 & Brooder Co., Quincy, 111., which has made such a 

 grand record at the World's Fair, and which has been 

 victorious in every contest since, offers this year addi- 

 tional improvements. This incubator is now on exhi- 

 bition, in constant operation, at the International Cot- 

 ton Exposition at Atlanta, Ga. They publish a book 

 on poultry, giving full description of "THE RELIA- 

 BLE," also other valuable information for poultrymen, 

 and will send it for the nominal fee of four cents in 

 stamps. 



ADVERTISING IN THE TRADE JOURNALS. 



Manufacturers and others contemplating the use of 

 what are termed Trade Journals for advertising pur- 

 poses, and who are desirous of securing the best pos- 

 sible return for their money, should correspond with 

 the Manufacturers Advertising Bureau, 111 Liberty 

 street, New York City. This concern has, by twenty 

 years' experience in placing the advertising of many 

 of the largest and most successful advertisers in the 

 country who use mediums of this character, acquired 

 a practical knowledge of how to make trade journal 

 advertising profitable. Its methods are unique, time 

 and labor-saving, and have received the indorsement 

 of publishers and advertisers alike. 



CREAM SEPARATORS. 



There have recently been several important decis- 

 ions in the United States Courts regarding centrifugal 

 cream separator patent rights, which are deserving of 

 the attention of those interested in any way in these 

 machines. 



On -June 18, Judge Coxe, sitting in the United States 

 Circuit Court for the Northern District of New York, 

 at Canandaigua, N. Y., granted a decree, inclusive of 

 a perpetual injunction, sustaining the material claims 

 of the Von Bechtolsheim patent, better and commer- 

 cially known as the "Alpha" De Laval patent, in the 

 suit of The De Laval Separator Company, of New 

 York, against Samuel Hotchkiss, of Delaware County, 

 N. Y., who had been making and selling a cream sep- 

 arator with an interior bowl device, thus held to in- 

 fringe the "Alpha" patent as charged by The De 

 Laval Company. ; _ .^**j^ r ~ 



These decisions are of no little interest to cream- 

 erymen and dairymen. The centrifugal separator 

 patents have long been in litigation. The De Laval 

 Company was practically the pioneer in the introduc- 

 tion of these machines, but of late years various con- 

 cerns previously making gravity cream-setting appli- 

 ances have taken up the manufacture of the centrifu- 

 gal machines as well. The De Laval Company has 

 bitterly resented this trespass upon its claimed rights, 

 and infringement proceedings under its patents, in 

 which it claims to have invested and expended nearly 

 a million dollars have been brought in several States.
