The Yumas are prolific as a race,
there being extraordinarily few
childless women among them.
The families, it is stated, average
three or four children each. De.
spite the impression to the contrary,
they do not seem to decrease in
numerical strength, but have made
good the effects Of former wars
with the United States troops and
Cocopahs, and the visitation Of
smallpox and other epidemic
diseases that have swept many away.

MORGANS AT ROCKFORD, ILL.,

A correspondent of Dunton's Spirit of
the Turf writes: A short time since your
correspondent visited Rockford, which
was the home of that grand stock horse,
Mountain Chief, sired by Old Morrill,, of
Danyille, Vt. the dam of Mountain Chief
by Old Champion, by Nights horse, he
by Old Sherman, by Justin Morgan.
Mountain Chief has two in the thirty list,
and they out of common mares. He has
sired large number of colts that could
trot in forty or better, all out of mares
of no particular breeding.
Pat Quinn, with a record of :251, is
certainly remarkable horse for the adj
vantages he has had. Under favorable
circumstances this horse should trot bet
ter than 2 20. His sire was Mountain
Chief; dams breeding not traced. Near
ly all of Mountain Chiefs colts were styl-
ish roadsters. They could carry two
men in buggy over country roads ten
miles an hour, and they could not be dri-
ven so far in one day that they could not
get back the next. Most of them could
brush three minute clip when called on.
1t is no wonder that they were all picked
up by horse buyers for eastern cities
They were the kind that brought good
price in New York.
Mountain Chief got cast and died al
the age of 10 years. He left two entire
sons that stood at Rockford and neal
there for several years. They, like theil
sire, transmitted the style, color and fin
ish, also speed and endurance, which the
Morgans are noted for.
Winnebago Chief, by Mountain Chief
and Morrill, Chief, by Mountain Chief
stood for several years in the vicinity o.
Rockford, and they were grand stool
horses. | could hardly find any of thei
stock left in this vicinity. 1t had nearly
all been taken to eastern markets, where
they were sure to bring a good price.

Dear r:-The postmaster today hand
ed me an inquiry from you regarding
Leonard Hodges and the horse Hodges
Morgan. Now there wasn't horse called
by that name. Here is what can learn
from my father, who remembers Hodges
well: About 80 years ago Hodges and
his brother-in-law, named Hapgood
(who has a son George that lives in Ver-
mont. brought team of bay stations
and bay that they called Ramrod Oiled
here), sired by Clifford Morgan. They
also sold another stallion to Geo. Feel,
Bucyrus, o. CThis was probably the
horse you are after.) He was burned up
in Feels barn. He was the best of
twelve that they brought here, Feel pay
ing $1,000 for him, which was high at
that time. They afterwards brought
eight from Vermont-all stations. Mr..
Hodges moved from here to Chicago,
where | think he died. | think | can give

One of Larry's colts, Ball D." got a

fall; good for a three-year-old, isn't it
If this does not satisfy, let me hear from
you further.

Now let farmers determine, once
for all, to stand squarely by their
business. Praise it for all 1t is worth,
not condemn it because it wont run
itself and carry US besides. Talk it
up, not down. Encourage 1t by pat
ting 1t on the back, not send it off
in sulky mood with a kick and a
growl. 1t is royal good business,
but 1t will not stand abuse nor neg
lect. Stay close by it. Put grit,
pluck, determination into it. Pin
your faith to it; but do not forget
that faith is evidenced by work. Is
not just here one of the troubles? ?
Are not too many of us trying to
make the farm work itself? Theor-
izing will not answer. 1t takes farm
ing to "make the farm pay" Think
ing and talking, and planning. and
learning can never be substituted
for doing, they are only aids to It.
