served that they received no choice
morSel or meat or anything else in
the way Of induccment or reward.
AS soon as they were let out Of the
wheel they tumblcd each other about
a bit and rushed back to their quar-
terS.
The course of training for this
work, as the originator of the scheme
described it, is simple in the extreme.
Years ago an intelligent NcWfound-
land was induced, by the exercise of
patience and gcntlencSs, to go into
the wheel and run it. This done, the
rest was easy. Another dog was put
in with him, and the one appearing
the more ambitious was praised and
petted Since then there has not
been the slightest difficulty in teach
ing dogs to turn the wheel. The two
in use at present are called Jack and
Bismarck. The former is thick
bodied, short-legged, powerful animal,
coal black of coat and with Il vicious
looking jaw and eye. He weighs
about eighty pounds. The other is Il
large, full-hred English setter, as we'll
looking as he is intelligent.

THE Swiss watch trade has unde-I
gone complete transformation dur
ing the past fifteen years, owing to
the work being done in large man
ufactorieS instead OF at the homes OF
the watchmakers. The result is that
there are much better watches at less
cost and greater sales. There are
schools for teaching matchmaking at

number of watches exported from
Switzerland has increased from ,, 734,

THE DOG AS A MOTOR.
Two WeI-Trained Ones Run II Sausage
Machine and Enjoy II.

MachinS ana ENJOY IL.
Tn the rear of 1908 Pacific street,
San Francisco, may be seen almost
any day plain, prosaic sausage mill
that is run half an hour each day by
dogs. Attracted by the noise a re-
porter went in to see about it.
AS soon as the presiding genius of
the sausage department. opened the
door to the room where the mill
stands there was an uproarious bay
ing and barking somewhere in the
rear, and in a moment two powerful
dogs sprang up flight OF steps from
the basement and plunged against a
low gate opening into the room.
While the grist Of meat was being
prepared they scratched and barlIed
and whined us though eager to be at
work.
Pretty soon the door was opened.
The dogs rushed in, and without Il
word or sign from their master
dashed into Il SiXteen-foOt wheel and
started it spinning. AS one would
forge little ahead the other would
redouble his efforts until the big
Wheel was at top speed, and the
curved knives clattered in the iron
bowl Of the machine with the noise
Of quartz mill in full blast.
When their work was done, the
dogs were only under good Roadway,
and not until the wheel was checked
by Il rude brake did they desist.

A few days later Alice received u

the whole thing.
He had failed in business, and hav-

ACCUSED OF INCENDIARISM.
Two NegrOs Arrested Charged With
Burning Charles Hill's Barn.

Vina Logan and George Baker
both colored, and both living near
Charles Hill's residence north OF
Mexico were arrested and are in
jail charged with burning his barn
and stock. Their preliminary trial
is set for next Saturday. Tracks
which the shoes of these parties fit
were traced from Charles HILLS
barn to Vina Logan's and George
Bakers. Vina Logan used to wash
for Charles Hill and was accused
by him of stealing articles and bad
blood was the result. 1t is also
claimed that George Baker, who
lives abont three quarters of mile
from where Vina Logan lives is
very thick with Vina snd if she
would do such an act she would be
very apt to have George help her.
Both prisoners deny having any
thing to do with the fire at all and
say they can prove that they were
at home all night of the fire. There
may be more developments IN the
case between now and the day set
for preliminary hearing. if so We
will keep our readers thoroughly
informed. Charles Hill and a

He had six tons Of hay and large

vt of new farming impliments.
HIS loss will amount to at least
5000, we should think. There is
no Question. but what it was the
work ofen incendiary. It is thought
that the same party that burned
Sun Rise church burned Charley's
barn. The neighbors and officers
are investigating the matter and we
trust they will find who the guilty
party is. The insurance will not
more than half cover the loss.
There was $500 insurance on the
barn, $500 on the contents of the
barn, $500 on one Of the stations,
$3.50 on the jack. There was also
some general insurance on the other
horses. His fine match team broke
away that night when he started to
put them in the stable and for this
reason We're not burned.
ARRESTS MADE THAT AFTERNOON.
Warrants were sworn out Thurs
day before Prosecuting At
torney Jesse, for the arrest of Vina
Logan, wife of John Logan, colored
and George Baker, colored. Both
OF these parties live in the neighbor-
hood of Mr.. Hills, and were traced
directly from the ba rn to their
homes that morning. Spite work
appears to have been the cause Of
the act, as there has been some
trouble between Mr.. Hill with at
least one Of these darkies in. the
pact. Sheriff Adams went out that
afternoon and made the arrests.

Crockett, whose farm is only two
miles from Mexico, has made a
beginning in the Poland-C China hog

about year ago by getting some
of the best bred registered sows he
could find and bred them to some
of the finest and highest priced
boars in the country. This is q
good way to begin, for the pro-
duce is fine. Males and females
