From the results of potato raising de-
rived from the experience of specialists
and the tests made at the various expert
ment stations of the country, there seems
to be little occasion to doubt that light
seeding for the potato crop is followed by
far smaller crop than the use of large
seed would give. Director Sanborn. now
of the Utah station, summarizes the aver
age of seven years experiment work of his
own on two college farms of the East. in

How to Tell n Horses Ace

1t is generally conceded that after a
horse has passed his 9th year, uncer-
tainty as to his age begins, so far as the
teeth have to do in indicating it, but an
expert has discovered a means said to
never fail, by which horses age may be
determined, through the wrinkles on the
eyeild at the upper corner of the lower
lid. After he is 9 years old a wrinkle
forms al that point, and every year there
after, well defined wrinkle appears. If,
Tor instance, q horse has three wrinkles.
his age is II years. if four. ID, and by
adding the number of wrinkles to nine the
horses age may be known.

II. u. 1OUNG hECOhD.
F. o. Young, one Of the California team,
has an excellent record as rifieman. With
a Springfield rifle at Shell Mound Park he
fired 100 shots, and made total of 459
points out of a possible 500. This score
beat the worlds record, and has not yet
been equaled. As member OF the Bay
City Club, he competed against thirteen
teams for trophy, and made an average Of
77R per cent. On this occasion he used
Winchester rifle with Il 3-pound pull. He
also holds the Coast record with revolver.
In a match with Smith Carr at Shell Mound
he made 430 points out Of possible 500 at
fifty yards. In the same match he shot at
forty yards and made forty-eight bulls
eyes in fifty shots. The two remaining
shots almost touched the bulls eye. In
1887 he won the champion medal for max
ing the best score of the year in the Califor-
mia CIub-434 rings out of a possible 500.
At Newark, n. D., in 1888, he won a gold
and silver medal. A few weeks ago, in
practice, he made a total Of HOS rings in
fifty shots ON the 25-rmg target. This is the
best flty-shot record SO far as known. In
1890 he won the military championship OF
the National Guard, making 95 per cent.
HovEY's RECORD.
In May, 1886, Hovey made 236 points in
fifty shots with Sharp BOuchard rifle,
6-pounj pull, out Of prsSlble 20, and this
record still stands high. In a match with
the Carson City Guard he came out second
man in his team, making 81 out OF possible
100. In a match at Shell Mound. in which
six men participated on the Standard Amer
lean target, be came out ahead. He was
also top man in contest against the Penn
sylVania team.

has a good record to his account. The per-

competed against like number OF the
Zettler Club of New York.
The rainy weather and cloudy sky, caus-

against the California riflemen. The wind
did not blow steadily from any quarter. One

REAL ESTATE NOTES.
The Market In Oakland and
Vicinity-ImproEements.

The march of improvement in Oakland is
steadily onward, and is very much more
rapid than most folks are aware. The work
of constructing the boulevard about Lake
Merritt is well under way, and when COM
pleted will give the city one of the finest
drives on the continent The park in West
Oakland is assured, and will accomplish two
results of the greatest importance. 1t will
remove what has been veritable eye-sore,
in transforming the marsh near theSixteenth-
street depot into a pleasure-ground; and it
will provide mueh-needed play and recrea-
tion ground for one OF the hitherto most
neglected parts of the city.
The work upon the harbOr now being car
ried on by tile Government is one OF the
greatest Importance, upon which steady al
vance is being made. The fine steel bridge
being thrown across the tidal canal on Park
street, connecting Alameda with East Oak
land and Fruitvale, is having the super
structure erected.
Work on the street-car line on Twenty
third avenue is being actively prosecuted
with a large force OF men. Several other
lines will be under construction in 4 few

rhs As1hclsl Production Of Food.

Chemists distinguish between various
kinds of sugars. To one class belongs
cane sugar. which is formed in the sugar
cane, sorghum, beet and maple, and
which we use at the table; to another
clas, belong the glucoses, of which the
fruit t-sugar that occurs in grapes and
other fruits, and the glucose which is
manufactured on large scale from the
starch of corn, are samples. Some time
since. Professor Fischer Of Wurzburg,
Germany, succeeded in the synthesis OF
several sugars closely allied to fruit
sugar. The news has just come that he
has found a way to transform glucose
into a sugar of the type Of caue'sugar'
We have long known how to convert
starch and cane-sugar to glucose the
process is one Of changing a more COM
plex compound to a simpler one' But
the possibility OF reversing the process
was long doubted. Yet just this is what
Professor Fischer has now accomplished.
Still more remarkable, was going to
say--but the time for calling such things
remarkable seems to be past-is the ac'
count which has come to hand within
few days Of the preparation OF an albu-
minoid compound by synthesis. How
carbohydrates and fats may be prepared
artifcially we have come to understand
But the albumlnoid compounds contain
more chemical elements and are far more
complex; they are indeed the highly
organized material Of vegetable and ami
NAL life. That these substances could
be made in the laboratory has been hard
to believe. Yet Professor Schutzenberger
of Paris has just reported to the French
Academy of Science the synthesis OF a
compound similar to the peptOne into
which the albuminoids of our food are
transformed in the process of digestion.
