Laws Need Revision.

Before commencing his formal ad-
dress Mr.. Hitchcock briefly discussed
the public land laws, declaring that
they are too numerous and imperative
~ need revision. He particularly urged
immediate repeal of the timber and
stone act, the desert land act and es-
pecially the eighth section of the
homestead law, under which, he said
the greatest frauds have been and are
being pepetuated.

THE GEARLESS CLOCK.
One-Wheel Timepiece Invented by Man
in Los Angeles.

c. III. Brigden, Los Angeles watch
maker, has invented the first timepiece
ever made to run and to keep time with
a single wheel and the wheel is not n
gear wheel but only perforated disk,
SO that the clock might be called gear
less clock.
A quarter inch steel ball rolling on two
inclined plates takes the place of pendu-
lnm and gearing. This steel ball rolls
over the two inclined plates in just a
minute and rolls off the lower plate into
the lower hole of the disk, at the same
time releasing the disk, which is always
under tension impaired to ii by two ball
weights suspended in towers.
The disk carries thirty balls on one
side, and when released by the rolling of
the ball from the lower plates against n
locking device, the disk turns the space
of one hole. or one minute. and brings
the uppermost ball into position TO roll
on the top plate and begin Its zigzag
course down the two inclined plates as
did the preceding ball. Each ball rolls
over the plates once every thirty min
utes.-Pacitic Outlook.

Best Fertilizers for Fruit.

In very many cases potash fertilizers
have decidedly improved the qualities
of fruits. In nearly all cases when.
ever the percentage Of this element has
been raised, the change has been accom-
panied by an increase Of sugar and n
decrease Of acid. Other things being
equal, the fruit with the largest per
centage Of sugar will bring the highest
price In addition, less desirable varie.
ties may be brought up TO n higher
1tandard, thus giving value TO some
good quality, as hardness and prolific
bearing.

Glover to Feed Land md Stuck,

Glover is good for feeding to live
stock and also splendid for renovating
or feeding the soil. There is no farm
that IS not capable Of being helped by
the growing and feeding on it of clio
yer This is to be kept in mind and
put in practice. Glover roots deeply,
and so gets a large part of Its support
from the subsoll and If the ground is
well filed with clover roots when the
clover dies the enriching of the soil
by those roots must be immense. The
roots produce Il heterogeneous enrichlng
with the hay added.

Corn md Cob Meal

4 combination Of corn and cob meal
Is almost equal to cornmeal for cattle.
1t Is not so satisfactory for sheep or
hogs. Where corn can be had on the
ear 1t is more profitable to grind the
cob with the grain than to she'll and
grind the grain alone. The prices
quoted by some dealers for corn-neal
and for corn and cobmeal would indi-
cate that some mills are adding extra
cobs before grinding the corn and cob
meal. Properly speaking, corn and
cob meal should be the whole ears
ground without the addition of any
other material.

showed great Improvement, and In one

Washing EGGS Injuries Them.

Several dealers have spoken to me

These washed eggs do not keep at all
when the weather is even moderately
warm, and 1t Is a serious mistake to
put them in when shipped for any dis
lance to be held, says the New York
Produce Review. When shippers have
local consumptive outlets which use the
eggs up at once 1t is all right to wash
dirties, for such trade, but they are
absolutely no good for distant ship
ment, and a packer will soon ruin the
reputation Of his brand by packing
them with clean unwashed eggs.
1t ought to be we'll known that wash
