COUNTY DIVISION
BILL KILLED

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March 16.-Assemblyman Bur-
netts county division bill was killed in
the Assembly this afternoon and for an
other two years the warning factions of
San Luis Obispo County will have to con-
sumo their own smoke and keep their
knives in their sleeves.
Incidentally there is now no law, as
there has not been for these two years
past, by which counties rent by inter
necine strife can get away from them
selves by dividing up their governments.
Mr. Burnett's bill was not lost without
a hard fight and some interesting debate
upon some of its peculiar provisions. One
of it's most prominent sections is as fol-
lows:
Section New counties in this State may,
from time TO time, be formed and created from
portions of one or more counties already in
existence in the manner set forth in this act
provided however, that county shall
be established which shall reduce any county
to a population of less than 5000 which
shall reduce the assessed value of any old
county more than one-half, as shown by the
last assessment thereof made previous to the
formation of such new county; nor shall any
new county be formed containing less popu-
lation than 5000, shall any line thereof
pass within five miles of the county seat OF
any county proposed to be divided: and every
county which shall be enlarged or created from
territory taken from any other county coun-
tets shall be liable for just proportion of the
existing debt and liabilities OF the county or
counties from which such territory shall be
taken.
Mr. Burnett spoke at some length to his
bill making the basis for his argument
that the State is at present without law
or means for creating new counties when
they may become necessary. He did not
emphasize the fact that his measure was
drafted primarily for the benefit of his
own county, San Luis Obispo.
Ilnowland of Alameda made a strong
and excellent speech In opposition to the

bill had been introduced in the best of
faith by the gentleman from San Luis
Obispo, Mr. Burnett part of the people
from that county desiring the measure.
He believed, however, that an overwhelm-
ing majority of the counties throughout
the State were opposed to county division

NaiIIess Horseshoes.

One of the most recent novelties, which will, we think. be welcomed as a boon to horsekeepers as we'll as the ami mals under their charge, is shoe which can be affixed to the hoof without nails The new shoe takes the familiar form, but has two projections, one cn each side at the back, which engage rings at the ends of band which passes over the front of the hoof and is fastened in the middle by screw attachment to the center of the shoe. The entire ar- engagement is simple. and the innova- tion means that when horse casts a shoe it would not be necessary any longer to seek the aid of farrier, for the new shoe can easily be fitted in a few minutes by an inexperienced hand. In recent trial of the nailless horse- shoe the new invention was put to a severe test. the horse on which the shoes were fitted being attached to a heavily laden van and worked up and down steep gradients and on granite paved streets. Notwithstanding the rough work the shoes showed no signs of shifting and were not removed until worn out. The new shoe obviates all risk of pricking or laming by nails, and slight rasping of the hoof is all that is required in attaching it to its bed Chambers Journal.

Kear.arse a Phenomenon.

Newport News, Va, Sept. 6.-The first class battleship Kearsarge on her trial trip made a record of 17A knots, which speed was maintained for nearly half an hour. Those interested in the construc- tion of the splendid vessel consider her accomplishment a phenomenal one in view of the fact that the course in which forced draft was tried was in shallow water and that the vessels bottom is in a pretty bad condition, having been in the water continuously for 13 months. The steam and hand steering gear were sub jected to the most severe tests and the result, it is stated, is that the immense mass of steel and iron responded to her wheel almost as readily as a steam launch. On one test she made a semi circular turn in PA minutes. Captain Folger, who is to command the Rear sarge, and the other naval officers on board expressed themselves as highly pleased with the result of the trip.

LABORrS LATEST MOVE.
Appeals to Kaiser Wilhelm and
 King Humbert.

Rennes, Sept. 6.-Maitre Labori has telegraphed personal appeals to Emperor William and King Humbert to grant permission to Count Schwartzkoppen and Colonel Panizzardi, respectively the Ger man and Italian military attaches in Paris in 1894, to come to Rennes to testi- fy in the trial of Captain Dreyfus. The appeals were couched in eloquent terms. invoking the assistance of their majesties in the name of justice and humanity.
 Both Colonel Schwartzkoppen and Colonel Panizzardi must consult their respective sovereigns before starting, but the counsel for Captain Dreyfus fully ex- poets them to arrive here, If they come at all, in time to give their testimony to- morrow, in which case the trial would probably conclude this week and the yer dict be delivered on Friday or Saturday.
 Colonel .Jouaust told Maitre Demange that if he received official notification that Colonels Schwartzkoppen and Pa nizzardi were coming to depose he would be prepared to adjourn the trial pending their arrival An adjournment of AS hours would probably give them time to get here.
 The appearance of Colonels Schwartz. koppen and Panizzardi would be the most important incident of the entire trial. Their dispositions would be a formal and emphatic declaration that they never had any relations with the accused, and they would make such a statement that the court must order an acquittal. Those who are in the confidence of the counsel intrusted with the defense express a firm conviction that Dreyfus will now be ac- Quitted

EVOLUTION OF BREEDS.
Effect of Natural Conditions of the
 Sheep.

Effect of Natural Conditions of tho Sheep.
 From what has been said of the influ- ence of its environment on the sheep it will be interesting to perceive at a glance the different elevations under which the various breeds have been reared, says The American Sheep Breed CT. Necessarily, elevation of any dis trict affects the climate of it as we'll as the herbage, and these have had very much to do with the evolution of our most popular and valuable breeds It goes without saying that the special mountain sheep are pastoral, while the lowland breeds are strictly farm sheep. The feeding has had very much to do with the evolution of the modern breeds, and it is fact that, as the elevation in- creases, the size of the animal decreases, until from the big Lincoln and the large sized Leicester, Romney- Marsh and Cotswold we come to the very small Welsh mountain sheep, the quarter of which varies from five to eight pounds only. At the same time it is to be said distinctly that the quality of the nut bOu O1 luGSt lS more desirable as to tenderness of flesh and the high flavor of it than that of the lowland breeds. The position of the Southdown, as half way between the ex- tremes on either hand, seems to unite in it's flesh the best qualities of both classes, the lowland and the mountain breeds. It feeds on the breezy chalk hills of central southern England. on which the pasture is the sweetest and most nutritious known in any country, and the air is the purest and most in- vigorating. The special conditions of the Welsh sheep tend to give its flesh a more pronounced flavor and special tenderness, both of which give the mutt ton much of the flavor and aroma of venison. Indeed, when the meat has been kept for two weeks, it acquires very much the character of the flesh of the deer and is often sold for it. But it feeds on precisely similar food to that of the deer on the same mountain pas lures, and thus it may be said of the sheep as of the deer, that the. natural habit of either kind of animal gives the flavor and general quality to the flesh It has something as we'll to do with the fleece. for as we move either way from the Merino at the middle of the eleva- ton we find the fleece becoming coarser as we go up or down the scale.

Al Grn..hopper Story

A live grasshopper will eat dead grasshopper. A Missouri farmer mixed paris green and bran together and let q grasshopper eat it. He died. Twen- ty ate him up. They died. Four hun dred ate those 20, and they died. Eight thousand ate those 400, and they died. A hundred and sixty thousand ate those 5000 and died, and the farmer was troubled no more.
 In its flight from the far west the name of the statistician of this story has become separated from his fig ures, but the fact that the incident oc- cured in Missouri Is regarded as eyi- dence of Its possibility.-New York Tribune.

The sugar beet is extending to farmers who live in the right localities the most friendly greet ing of any product I know of that can be grown on the farm.

It Pays to Think.

About 75 per cent of those who buy stock to feed would make money by hiring a good judge to do their buying, says correspondent of The National Stockman, and sometimes I have thought that about the same propor- tlon of those who breed horses would do well to pay somebody to superin- tend the selection of sires, and mares, too, for breeding. Many of the misfits which are seen everywhere are the re- suit of carelessness or pure ignorance. One Is as bad as the other so far as results are concerned. It does not pay to belong to either class. Think, study. freel straight.

Winter Hog Feed.

As most hog growers find it profitable to raise fall filters. and fall pigs need warm slop in winter, I find itproftable to pack barrel with sawdust or dry forest leaves at the beginning of winter in which to mix the slop, and with this arrangement it is easy not only to avoid ice, but to keep the swill so warm as to produce slight fermentation if neces- sary, and it will only require teaket-
 tie or two of boiling water a day to
