LIFE OF CHINESE STUDENTS
seven Feet Four Inches Wss th
Height of Member of Extinct
Race Whose Bones Were
Dug Up.
San Francisco, Cal. Up to about
100 years ago a giant race of Indians
nhabited the coast region of Callfor
lla. Remains of these have been dis
sovered in the islands of the Santa
3arbara channel. To William Alt
nann, assistant curator of the Golden
Jate Park Memorial museum, belongs
:he honr of discovering one of the
allest and best preserved skeletons
f this extinct tribe.
Altmann utilized his vacation In ex
savating an old Indian burial mound
n the nursery of Thomas S. Duane,
:wo miles from Concord, in Contra
3osta county. The giant skeleton was
tound ten feet from the surface, and
tround it were a large number of mor
ars and pestles, charm stones and
ibsidian arrow heads.
The skeleton has not yet been
counted, but the bones were assem
Jled on a table in the curator's of
Ice and placed on private exhibition.
The bones are in good state of pres
tation, being bard and firm, al
:hough brown with age. Two or three
f the vertebra are missing, and the
ikull is broken into three parts. The
ikeleton measures seven feet four
inches. The tibia Is seventeen Inch
s in length.
The skull Is in great contrast with
;hat of the Digger Indian of the pres
int day, being of a much more Intel
ectual type. The under Jaw is square
tnd massive, being remarkably thick
tnd strong. Either the dead Indian
ivas of great age or he subsisted on
lard food, as shown by his molars,
hlch are worn perfectly ; flat and
:loee to the gums.
The find is of the greatest Import
ance to anthropologists the world
ver, confirming as it does, the theory
idvanced when the ' giant skeletons
ere unearthed in the Santa Barbara
elands, that a superior race of Indi
ins, physically and mentally, preced
d the Digger and other native races
f the present day. This is evidenced
tlso in the pestles and charm stones
'ound near the body.
The former are ornamented " with
phallic carvings, whereas the pestles
nade by the former and present ' day
Diggers, are not carved or ornament-
sd in any way. The charm stones are
if baked clay, a beginning in the art
f pottery making, which are not
found with Digger remains.
This interesting find was made on
:he Salvador Pacheco ranch, part of
which is occupied by Duane's nursery.
It is Altmann's intention to make a
further exploration of the mound at
in early date for other relics ot the
bygone tribe.

There are a number of considera
tions for the farmers to keep in mind
in breeding horses for the draft horse
trade. Among these are that size,
weight, condition and character each
bear an important influence in de
termining the prices paid on the mar
kets and therefore that this influence
Is reflected upon the prices which
they receive from the country ship
pers and buyers, says the Wisconsin
Agriculturist. Nothing that influences
the large central markets for the prod
ucts of the farm fails to affect the
sale of a single article directly on the
farm.
Probably the one thing which the
general run of horses that reach the
markets lack more often than any
other is size and incidentally there
tore weight. , It is stated from good
authority that there are more good
horses marketed In the Union Stock
Yards at Chicago than any other
place in he United States, and yet
of the 100,000 horses marketed there
not more than 25,000 would weigh
over 1,560 pounds, and not more than
5,000 were what would be termed A-l
horses. First class draft horses for
the city trade should not weigh less
than 1,600 pounds when in working
condition, and if they weigh 1,760
pounds they will satisfy all the better.
To carry such weights horses should
stand about 16 hands high or over
and should have conformations In
proportion.
The condition of a horse Is all Im
portant, both as to soundness and
thrift. Horses that have poor feet,
bad hocks, weak wind, or poor shoul
ders are sticklers on the market They
sell very slowly and at very low
prices. So also do horses that are in
a poor condition of thrift. Fat always
helps to sell horses quickly and at
good prices, for It makes them look
good and the horses, moreover, do not
need to be conditioned before they
can be put to work. A horse which
looks thin when it leaves the farm is
liable to look considerably thinner
after it has been shipped and arrives
at the sales stables. Fat horses ship
far better than thin, thriftless, ones.
Then, too, the suspicion of being a
poor doer on the best of care is liable
to attach itself to the thin horse in
the mind of the buyer, whereas when
he looks upon a well conditioned
horse no such suspicion occurs to him.
Character is a I valuable asset to
any horse that is. placed on the mar
ket, and like size and weight is gen
erally lacking in the usual stock of
horses to be selected from in the
country. A horse that shows Intelli
gence, good breeding and those qual
ities that come through careful
handling and good training will out
sell the commo'i, plain looking horses
by a considerable margin; size,
weight and condition being otherwise
alike. ;
The man on the farm engaging in
horse production from the viewpoint
of dollars and cents and anxious to
make his acres earn the highest net
returns should breed his mares to the
best sires that are available combin
ing Bize, weight, soundness and char
acter, and should breed to them con
sistently. They should endeavor also
as soon as possible, either by pur
chase or by breeding up, to possess
themselves of big drafty mares com
bining those qualities. The only re
grettable thing about the sale of the
dapple gray mares on the January
11, 1912 Chicago horse market for
1,000, is that the mares were not
purchased by some good farmer to be
used for breeding and farra work pur
poses Instead of by a Chicago teaming
firm to draw a big wagon. It is re
grettable that they, should ever have
gotten away from the farm, for if
they were worth J1.000 for drawing a
big wagon and heavy loads, certainly
they were worth that on the farm
where they could do work to earn

their cost of maintenance and raise
colts worth $1,000.
The economy of the heavy mare on
the farm, both from the standpoint ol
doing farm work and producing colts
compared with light and medium
weight mares is nicely summed up as
follows by Secretary Dinsmore of the
Percheron Society of America: "The
cost of maintenance under farm con
ditions is about the same, the heavier
mares are more efficient in the work
of the farm, the colts are ready foi
work a year younger, and if carried
to the same age, will bring about
twice as much as the colts from the
light weight mares and about one
third or one-quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight mares."
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking, upon the ques
tion being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding oi
horses, "What kind of mares should
I use? I want to know all things con
sidered, whether I should buy a 1,200
pound, a 1,400 pound or a 1,700 pound
mare?" In other words, the land
owner as a business man wanted to
know whtat would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative -effi
ciency on the farm and what the rela
tive market value of the colts pro
duced, of these three classes of mares.
Here is how he thinks out the mat
ler, and his thinking was based on ex
tended observation and experience:
All three classes can, of course, be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency, if we rate the 1,700 pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow
ance is made if the 1,450 pound horse
is credited at 90 per cent, and the
1,200 pound horse at 80 per cent The
colts bred to a good draft sire will
average . somewhere about 1,500
pounds; colts from 1,450 pound marei
1,600 to 1,700 pounds, and colts from
1,700 pound mares, 1,800 to 2,000
pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years of age. The
same is true of the medium weight
colts, but buyers are scouring the
country for heavy colts. Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier,
or if carried until they are older and
then put on the market, the prices ad
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1,500 pounds will not bring
more than $140 to $175 on the average,
because they come in competition
with the great glut of common
light drafters on the market. Those
weighing around 1,650 pounds to 1,700
pounds will bring $200 to $240, and
heavy weight geldings will bring $300
to $350. The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as th
lower weight mares.
Mirage Easy to Be 8een.
The celebrated Fata Morgana, a
presentation of natural "moving pic
tures" on an immense scale which is
occassionally seen in the Straits of
Messina, is explained by a scientific
writer as being a mirage, such as fre
quently occurs in various parts of
the world; "in fact," he says, "one
may see a mirage any day by looking
through the stratum of air overlying
a hot stove, or adjacent to the side
of a wall heated in the sunshine."

Sizes of Silos.
A silo 12 feet In diameter and Si
feet high will hold when full about
75 tons of silage. A silo 14 feet in
diameter and 30 feet high will hold
about 103 tons. Twelve cows requirt
36 tons of silage to supply them 20C
days at the rate of 30 pounds a day.
A silo 10 feet in diameter and 22 to
24 feet high would be a; very good
size for this number of cattle. , If it ii
desirable to make some preparation
for summer, and as a rule it is, then
the silo, should be built still higher. On

that makes bis life worth living ma

no one would think of feeding wheat

la true for old as well as young ani
mals. ' Another point upon which most peo
ple will agree is that for the young
growing stock, especially animals
which do not have a full set of teeth,
grinding is necessary. It not only en
ables young animals to get more ot
their feed, but they eat greater quan
tities and grow much more rapidly.
On unground feed of the type noted,
a young animal would do very little
good; but If wheat barley, rye, etc.,
b ground and mixed with a little corn,
they will thrive.
Leveling Board.
A leveling board attached to tha cul
tivator helps to reduce the loss of soil
moisture by evaporation. When the
ground Is kept fine and level, less sur
face Is exposed to the air and tne
capillarity at the surface is less active.

Have You Noticed These?
An Inventor in America has earned

Stabbed by Umbrella.
Perhaps the strangest weapon ever
used for killing was an umbrella. In
October, 1908, a man named Ernest
Smith was found dead in Chiswlck
High street, England. He had a punc
tured wound in the eye which had
reached his brain and which the doc
tors agreed had undoubtedly been
caused by the steel ferrule of an um

' Lacking important Point
Can a woman be a successful "ma
gleian?" A contemporary wizard says
that she can, and that in London there
are many society women who have
taken a course in wizardy as a means
of becoming proficient in some kind
of "parlor trick" by which. to enter
tain company. It does seem, though,
that a magician without coat sleeves
to pull back, as a preliminary to do
ing his marvels, would be fatally de
ficient in paraphernalia.

Scottville, Mich.'-' I want to tell you
how much good Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-

very hard. I am
forty-five years old,
and am the mother
of thirteen children.
Many people think
it strange that I am
not broken down
with hard work and
the care of my f am
ily, but I tell them of my good friend,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and that there will be no back
ache and bearing down pains for them if
they will take it as I have. I am scarcely
ever without it in the house. ;
"I will say also that I think there is
no better medicine to be found for young
girls. My eldest daughter has taken
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for painful periods and irregular
ity, and it has helped her.
"I am always ready and willing to
speak a good word for Lydia E. Pink,
ham's Vegetable Compound. I tell every
one I meet that I owe my health and
happiness to your wonderful medicine."

His Grounds. 1
By a queer trick of politics an ig
norant and pompous old darky was
elected Judge of a minor court In a cer
tain western state. In the first case
over which he presided he made a
ruling so absurd that the lawyer .whose
case was affected by It said: "This is
a very strange ruling, your honor.
Upon what grounds do you make it?"
"What grounds does you say? Why,
dese yer co'thouse grounds, of co'sal"
replied the Judge. Judge. . . j
