The earliest application of the clep-
sydra principle to produce motion was
by Tsiang Hung, A. d. 126, who made
an "orrery' representing the apparent
motion of the heavenly bodies around
the earth, which was kept going by
dropping water. In the sixth century
of the Christian era an instrument was
in use In China which indicated the
course of time by the weight OF water
as it gradually came from the beak of
bird and was received in a vesse,
on balance, every pound representing
hundredth part Of the day Of
twenty-four hours. About this time
mercury began to be employed In
clepsydras instead of water.

"VHE science Of breeding Is very
complicated, but there are
some points that should be un
derstood and followed by ev-
cry farmer. No matter how well stock
may be fed and cared for, If they do
not have the inherited capacity to

poor feeding and care may make a
scrub out of an animal which has the
inherited ability to develop into some
thing much better. To attain the best
results breeding, feeding and intelli-
gent care must go hand in hand.
Pure bred stock not only have the
ability to make much more profitable
use of the food given them, but they
also add greatly to the appearance of

bred, uniform calves, colts or sheep

Missouri's Great Scandal

| Almost at the very end OF the
/ present session of the Missouri leg
islature there has developed a dis
position among the members to
| investigate ONE of the scandals
that have grown up with the long
| Democratic tenure of office. 1t
has been discovered that the state
is being mulcted systematically in
many of the moss-covered institu-
tions and that graft of a polite
but nevertheless profitable nature
has flourished in many places.
Representative Miller introduced
a bill in the house the other day. re
curing that state grain inspectors
be able to tell the difference be-
tween wheat and corn. Surely
this requirement is reasonable. But
it is pertinent to ask why this
board is continued at all? At best
it was a mere political appendix
of the state machine, and il it has
ever done any good few people
aware of it.. This board has $50 EN-
ployes and costs the state $35000
a year above the fees taken in
The grain men practically ignore
it and it is only an awkward and
hampering affair of the trade gen.
orally. Then there is the board of
railroad and warehouse commits
sioners that has made a record for
doing nothing and which has cost
the state many times any possible
value it might develop. The legis-
lature might, in the interests of
economy, also abolish the useless
coal oil inspectorships. If ever
there was an unadulterated farce
in government it is this scheme Of
coal oil inspection. No one ever
heard of an inspector discovering
anything and most of the inspec-
torships have been mere dead let
tiers, although good political Jobs.
