PUBLISHER'S NOTES.
G. PRICHARD, breeder of full blood merino sheep, of the Atwood strain, at Pittsford, prints a card on page 401. As it costs no more to feed a good animal than a poor one, all should procure the best.
CHARLES W. GARDNER, of Fairhaven, is a breeder of pure blood Jersey cattle. From his herd he will supply gentlemen with choice stock at satis- factory prices. He is also making some of the finest butter in the country. Card on page 474.
H. W. KINGSLEY, for many years a Merchant Tailor in Rutland, publishes a card on page 482. As custom made clothes fit better and wear longer than others, remember his location, 13} Merchants row, when in need of " some- thing to wear."

Mr. Premo has built up a successful business, in which he is greatly aided by his son, Levi A.

TUTTLE & Co .- This extensive Book, Paper, Printing and Binding house, located in the Herald building, at Rutland, has grown to be the leading estab- lishment of the kind in the State. A large portion of the State printing and binding is done here, the facilities for such work being excellent. The whole- sale trade of the firm had increased to that extent that more storage room was necessary, so that this season they have leased the floor under D. L. Morgan's store, and they now occupy, in their different departments, room equivalent to six floors of full store size. They advertise on page 514, and on bottom margins.
M. J. FRANCISCO has for years represented many of the leading Fire Insurance Companies of the world. His office in Rutland is in the Morse block, opposite the Depot. It is a good old maxim, that "a business worth following is worth insuring." One rests more contented and sleeps sounder if he realizes that the destruction of his property by fire would not leave him destitute, or without means to continue business elsewhere. Keep insured, your store, workshop or dwelling. Keep insured, and Francisco will write policies in strong companies on the most favorable terms. His advertise- ment is on the map.
DAVID SHORTSLEEVE, Iron Founder and Machinist, at Rutland, was a few years ago foreman of the Lincoln Iron Works, and there acquired a reputa- tion which has helped him to a large business within the short period of three years since he began for himself. Since then he has from time to time had to build additions to his buildings, and each time the additions were the largest. His specialties are rock working machinery, and of these he has supplied customers in many of the States of the Union, sending some as far west as Nevada and California. Being a practical mechanic, and himself manager and foreman, he does not hesitate to warrant his work; hence his success. He advertises on fly leaf, facing the first cover.

FRANKLIN SCOTT, Patent Solicitor and Attorney in Patent cases, at North Bennington. This gentleman has probably facilities for securing the inter- ests of his clients superior to any other attorney in Vermont, and undoubt- edly not surpassed anywhere. Of a mechanical turn of mind, he has per- fected himself in the art of drawing and designing, until he now stands con- fessedly at the pinacle of the profession. His knowledge of mechanics, enables him to point out defects or suggest improvements in the designs of his clients, and his immense library, pertaining to patent matters, enables him also to point out what has already been done, if anything, by others, to hin- der the success of an application. Finally his long experience in legal points connected with this peculiar practice, combined with his other qualifications, eminently fits him for successfully advancing the interests of the inventor. As you would employ the most skillful physician to be obtained, in desperate cases of disease, so to secure your financial interests in patent matters you should employ one who understands how to introduce all the claims made, in such language and manner as will secure the desired rights and privileges. See Mr. Scott's advertisement, page 627.
