First Wheel Clock.

Some say that Archimedes made the
first wheel clock as early at 200 b. c.
Others give credit TO Wallingford, who
lived so late as the beginning of the
fourteenth century. But the most per-
feet water clocks were. long before the
latter period, furnished with wheels.
so that the only improvement was the
substitution of a solid body to act as
q moving weight instead of water. 1t
is not to be wondered at that the up
plication of weight to clocks as a
moving power should attract so little
attent5e---, as water and sand were un-
doubtedly thought more convenient by
contemporary writers. The Oldest COM
plete clock moved by weights Is prob
ably that sent by the sultan of Turkey
to Frederick ii. in 1882. In the thir-
teenth century many of the church
steeples in Italy were furnished with
clocks moved by weights. which struck
the hours. Hele OF Nuremberg Is sup
posed to have constructed the first
watch In 1900. and to him must also
be given the credit of the spring clock.
The fusee was probably invented In
England about the end of the six
teenth century. But II was not until
the middle OF the seventeenth century
that the pendulum was first applied to
clocks by Huyghens.

SEED IMpORTATIONS.

Professor N. e. Hansen of the South
Dakota experiment station. sent
abroad by Secretary Wilson to gather
seeds of plants suitable to northern
ATTITUDES, has lately returned home.
Included In some $50 kinds Of seeds
which he brought back with him are
those of a clover and a variety of al
falfa growing wild In northern Asia
north of Lake Baikal. where the tenn
perature sometimes goes to rs degrees
below zero, adapted to the northwest
ern states: a supply Of Persian clover
seed suitable for western Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona; varieties of al
falfa from north Africa. the original
home of this legume. whence 1t was
taken to Spain. to South America and
then north and east through the south
ern states. 1t is Professor Hansen's
belief that the ideal alfalfa of the fu-
ture will be a hybrid Of all the best
alfalfas known. The development of
these plant importations will be fol-
lowed with keen interest by all who
are watching the remarkable develop
ment of the country agriculturally.

A BOSS BERRY GROWER.

Horticultural papers Of recent date
cite the case of a strawberry grower
at Creston, b. c.. who last year raised
2,206 crates of strawberries-52.94 .941
quarts-from four and one-eighth
acres. In explaining the remarkable
yield obtained the grower attributes
1t to careful preparation Of and en-
riching the land before setting the
plants; thorough cultivation, shipping
blossoms, layering the runners and
spraying two or three times the rows
and scattering nitrates and covering
with mulch pulled from berry rows
the second season. In explanation of
the prices received for berries, never
less than 1920 per crate, he lays espe-
cial stress on making preparations for
the picking and packing of the fruit
and shipping to but one dealer In n
town. From the standpoint of pro
ductiveness and shipping quality he
ranks the varieties of berries he has
grown In the following order Of ex-
cellence: Dunlap, Warfeld, Parsons
Beauty, Glen Mary, Clyde. Tennessee
Prolific and Lady Thompson. This
getting a gross return Of close to
1,200 from each acre of land may be
In part due to favorable climatic con-
ditions, but more than all else to the
man and the fact that he has made a
very thorough business of growing
strawberries.

RIEAChEp EIOuR.

Secretary James Wilson has won out
In contention which he had with the
millers of the country about bleached
-four, it being his view that subjecting
-four to the bleaching process was a
violation Of the pure food laws. This
question takes Its origin from the IN
creased production Of durum or maca-
roni wheat, which. owing to an ex-
cess above demands for export pur-
poses. the millers have been bleaching
and mixing with other -four. Flour
from durum wheat contains large
per cent of gluten, is quite yellow In
color, and 1t Is because of the desire
of the millers. who pay less for the
wheat, to sell 1T under another name
that the trouble has arisen. Secretary
Wilson holds that this -four should
sail under its own colors and sell for
just what 1t is.

BURNT SUGAR A DIsINFEcTANT.

BURNT SUGAR A DiSINFECTANT.
The burning Of sugar as a disin-
fectant In sickrooms Is practice fol-
lowed in many parts of Europe and
has usually been viewed by physicians
as an innocent superstition, neither
beneficial nor harmful. Professor
Trilbert of the Pasteur institute ut
Paris has recently demonstrated in
experiments which he has been max
ing that the burning of sugar develops
a remarkably powerful antiseptic gas.
Five grams Of sugar were burned un-
der a glass bell holding ten quarts,
and after the vapor had cooled germs
Of typhus, tuberculosis, cholera and
smallpox were placed in open glass
tubes under the bell, and within half
an hour all the microbes were found
dead. The efficacy Of burnt sugar az
a purifier of air containing offensive
odors Is well known and is probably
due to the antiseptic principle referred
to. This seems to be one instance In
which popular superstition seems un-
Willingly to have had very good sci
entifc foundation.

An acre of corn with hills three feet
four inches apart each way will pro-
duce fifty bushels Of ear corn II the
stalks in each hill produce on an aver
age a pound Of corn. Did they pro-
duce a pound and half per hill the
yield would be seventy-f1ve bushels
per acre, while II two pounds the yield
would be 100 bushels. While the last
yield would be on the bumper order, 1t
is readily seen that 1t would not be
impossible on rich land with a full
