Name Address dB IMPORTANT JUDGMENT IN INCUBATOR CASE IA jedgment handed down on 'Fri- day, March 1119, 1119137, by the Supreme Court of Canada allows the appeal of the Attorney General of Canada wettest bhe Smith Incubator ;Comp- any and the Buckeye Incubator Com- pany of Cleveland, Ohio, in the case of The King vs, the «two Companies named. This judgment is of tremend- ous interest not only to about '5,080 commercial ,poillibry hatcherymen in Canada, hut to the many thousands of farmers who raise poultry. In the written judgment by on. Mr. «justice Rinfret, which was con- curred in by Rt. Hon. Sir Lyman P. Duff, Chief justice, and Justices, H. H. Davis, P. Kerwin, and A. B. Hudson, he «states in part at the out- set: "The Canadian letters patent No: 2197;777 issued to Samuel B. Smith on the 1118th day of 'April, 09212, for alleg- ed new and useful improvements in incubators are impeached by the At- torney General of Canada who alleges that :the respondents, respectively owner .and licensee ehereunder, in at- tempting to enforce their alleged rightsgranted .by the said letters pat- ent, are seriously and detrimentally affecting the welfare of the Canadian pottltry industry," 'Hie judgment states that .the ap- peal is allowed with costs not only in the Supreme Court of Canada, but in the Exchequer Court of Canada; that the inforination of the Attorney 'Gen- eral of 'Canada shallbe maintained and there will the a ,declaration that the letters patent issued to Samuel B. Smith are invalid and void and that the same are .cancelled and set aside. The case began its Canada in the winter of '1934-.315 when the Smith In- cubator Company of Cleveland, ,Ohio, served notices against a number of hateherymen and breeders that the incubators they were using consti- tuted an infringement of patent rights held by their company in Canada and actually took out injunction proceed- ings against a number of incubator operators. This action on the part of the Smith Incubator Company- was the sequel to many similar actions in the !United States ,and had every in- dication of covering a similarly wide area in Canada. AA- a result of representations made to Members of !Parliament and Gov- ernment ,Departments requesting that the Dominion Government intervene particularly in view of the extreme ereadth and comprehen i veneee of the principles of physics involved more particularly under Claim 1 of the Smith Paithnt under whieb these representatives arid injunction pro- eeedings again et Canadian operators hail been taken, the Government of vezeneele le 'E D • FRIENDS We are combining our newspaper with these two great magazine offers, so that you can realize a remarkable cash saw- ing on this year's reading.

Canada through the Attorney Gen- eral decided to take steps to impeach the Smith Patent in Canada, 'The oast was heard .before the 'Exchequer Court ot Canada commencing '0.cto- ber 1114, 11191315„ Coincident with the case instituted 'by the Attorney General bhe case :of the ;Smith Incubator Com- pany against certain individuals to whom injunctions had 'been «served, was heard. The ,Exchequer Court gave two judgments late in January, 1193l&—.one in which else Smith Patent was held to be valid and the other that the Selling Incubator, under .whioh the injunctions had been taken, was not an infringement of the Smith Patent. In due course the Smith Iectibator Company appealed to the Supreme Court ion the Selling judgment anti the .Attorney 'General of Canada in turn appealed the case to the Supreme Court on the Smith Patent. Both cases were heard 'by, the Supreme Court in November. i1936, the judg- ment of which has just .been given. The Supreme Court judgment re- verses the Exchequer Court judg- mete on the validity of the Smith Patent, and this automatically up- holds the judgment of he 'Exchequer Court on the injuection proceedings under the Seiling Patent, The judgment as rendered is unique in that it is one of the ifiirkt oases in which the Dominion Government has taken action to impeach a ,patent which itself had .previously granted. 'The principal witnesses for the At- torney General were Prof. W. R. Graham of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, arid Milo Hastings of Tanrytewn, N.Y. Prof. Graham gave extenelecl testimony on the hist- ory and ,progress of incubation. Mr. Hastings gave testimony on prior art. having built an incubator embodying the principles of the Smith Incubator a number of years prior to the grant- ing of the Smith Patent, Norman Hi- ehox of Chicago gave «corro'borating evidene e on operation of the Hast- ings Incubator at .Muskogee, Okla- homa. DOUBLE HARNESS (By M. C. IDoig, in the London Free Press.) ;Every once in a while we run across someelting we think could he improv- ed upon. Not being of an inventive turn of mind. we altvays try to pass our discovery along to eomeone--any- one—who is, Not long ago we had occasion to take a set of double !tars nes: off a horse. an,l ever sinee we ha ve been trying to figure out how double harness could be simplified. Everyone is .familiar with those wire puzzles carried in the pockets of par - 'or pests: take the round Meet. of vire MT the oblong pieee, eke, and eo on. men pa it back on again. Occa- sionally we have succeeded in getting it off hut never were We able to pnt it hack on. Those wire puzzles are childs' play and tiddlywinks compared to a set of louhle harness. We used to wonder Airy men took so long to hitch up a team, We have milked two or three :owe often enough while a num was eating his team ready for the «field. We don't wonder about that any more. What we wonder is how do they ever get out in time to have a furrow turned before dinner. 'For years we have «been harnessing the driver. More than once we have taken off a set of single driving har- ness in the "pitch black of night" when we were too lazy to go to the house for the lantern, But double harness! To get it off we would want at least two WO watt electric light «tubs equipped with highly burnished Mickel reflectors hung directly above the horse upon which we are to riper- l'o do «ourselves justice, however. And mot 'have Claud and Tont Dobbin 'arm too poor an opinion of our in- telligence, the horse we had to un- llarness (to commit an friehism 'he's' 1 mare) might have been hand pick- ed for its ability to provoke a green- horn. In the first place, she naturally boil& her head bout four notches higher than the average horse, and when one is taking off or putting cul a halter or bridle, she gazes intently through the cracks in the «barn floor above her head, ' Not .being of heroic .proportions ourselves (15 feet, .1', inch to be exact) the .first thing we did was to clinth up on «bhe manger and into the oat box. Some teachers claim that to view any task in its entirety is good prac- tice. 'Not for us, 'The extent of the territory unconquered ,struck terror to our 'heart. We .could not 'help remem- bering the story we had heard about the delivery Soy, who, at the end of his first day, asked his boss how to get the harness off fhe horse. "Oh," said his 'boss, who was busy at the lime, "just unbuckle some of those 'buckles and it will come off all right," .Twenty minutes later when the boss went to see ihow the lad was getting on, 'he found .the harness in piece's on the stabile floor. The 'Yea' had unbuckled every buckle and un- snapped every snap. and the result was chaos. Isn't there any .simpler way of fit- ting a -collar .oe a horse than 'the me- thod now in use? How about a collar like a car tire that would ,pull on over the head 'like a turtle -neck sweater? Why don't inventor* get to work or: thb every day «ordinsey harnes; buckle? We wonked and bumbled for 'five minutes at the buckle on tot) of the collar trying to get bhe 'tongue of the 'buckle out of the hole in the lea- ther strap. What makes 'buckle ton- gues cling to strap holes with such loving ;fidelity? There i* no use in our tryiag to take bhe reader with us step by step. We could not do it again in exactly the same way to save a life, It is en- ough to say that after unbuckling umpteen iwckles and unsnapPing a ecore or more of snaps, the harness suddenly- fell down around the mare's feet. She leaped back in fright the full :length of the halter shank. and only a quick grab at the top hoard of the stall kept ,tte; from goine hea.d first into the manger. We hung the harness on the pege— it took four .pegs to 1101(1 it—and we wthehouse.m ent to Frothat day 1 this we have never mentioned har- ness. '/'e 'have often wanted to ask the Teamster what sort of time he had putting' it together. 'Soule day tvhen we are both old and gray and tottering on the brink of the grave we are going to say "Do you remem- ber the day I took the harness otT Queen?" and the 'Teamster's ancient eyes will flash tire and he will shout in the crackled falsetto of the aged, "Do I 1 !" But the time is not yet. Treat Your Seed for Smut Control All grades and classes of wheat, oats and bailey, should be treated for the control of smut. This means reg- istered seed as well as all other grades of seed. There can be no iex- ception n the matter of treatment if smut is to be kept under 'control. Seed time is almost with us again. Speaking of seed time reminds us that it is necessary to make prep«ara- 1100 to treat wheat, oats and barley seed for the control of smut. There are several good materials on the market that, if properly used, will give good results. 'Whatever treatment is used, the results obtain- ed depend 1111,111 the thorough- ness of the treatment.

How can we encoutage farmers to take measures to preserve the wood- land that remains on their farms. If a farmer considers he woodlot alt assent, he will preserve it.
