The Mustang.

Che Wild horse of America, although
now native to the soil, is descended
from the tribes of wild horses that still
rove the plains of Central Asia. When
'b2 discoveries of this continent first
Handed, there were no horses anywhere
in either North or South America.
CeaHfies before, the horse had been
introduced into European countries
from Asia, and had become common
Nd over the continent. When Colum.
bus arrived here on his second voyage,
in 1893, he was accompanied by one
Cabna de Vaca, who brought with him
a number Of horses, which were landed
10 Florida. N'"s a.i
Cortez took horses with him to assist
in the conquest Of Mexico, as did Pr
zaro in his conquest Of Peru. The
natives we're greatly affrighted when
they beheld these strange animals. Al
fret they supposed that the man and
the horse were one complete creature,
something like the centaur Of which
we read in ancient fable. And when
they saw the rider dismount and dis
engage himself from his steed, theil
amazement knew no bounds.
In time the savages learned that the
horse was an animal that had beer
subdued by man, and that it was ;
separate creature; but they long dread
ed the horse of the Spaniards as {
beast of pray. And when the horse
escaped from their masters, and mad,
their way into the freedom of tn,
forest, as they did after a space, tn,
natives avoided them as something t,
be stunned. The quarreling Span
iards neglected their steeds, which sOoI
found homes on the plains of Mexico

Every farmer should plant apple
trees enough to at least supply his fam.
lily with fruit. For this pur[ ose there
should be late, early, sweet and sour
varieties. Apples are excellent, wheth.
err raw or cooked, and they can be
cooked more ways than any other
fruit that grows. They are healthy
food, however eaten, the family well
supplied with them having no use at
all for doctors. They are pleasant and
palatable food, either at the table OF
between meals, and are always accept
able to visiting friends or saleable in
market. Less time and money are re.
quired to insure supply of apples
than of any other kind Of fruit, and
further compensation is found in the
fact that trees planted in childhood, il
well cared for, will continue to pro-
duce fruit until the planter is as old al
patriarch.
