Patagonia and Chi-chi.

Chi-chi is the name given by the Pata
CONAN natives to II rude sort of cider which
they brew in the autumn, when the wild
apples are ripe. Their method of making
it is simple in the extreme. Pits are dug
in the earth and carefully lined with the
hides of horses to prevent any of the juice
soaking into the earth. Then the apples
are gathered and thrown into the pits
They decay and fermcnt, and their juice
provides the material for the grand annual
drinking bout of the Patagonian men.
The women have learned by experience
what the results of this bout too frequent
ly are, so when it commences they go round
carefully collecting knives and other dan
gerOus weapons from the men. With these
and with their children they then steal
away and hide in the woods until their
lords and masters shall have drunk them
selves mad and slept themselves sober
again
1t is II somewhat sad reflection that these
wild apples are the only legacy left by IA
few devoted .IesllitS, who, soon after the
conquest of South America, set out to con
vert the Patagoninn SaVagcs. The .JeSuitS
took with them various implements of hus-
bandry and European grains and seeds for
cultivation, but they We're all soon murder
ed, and only the apple trees llourished,
propagated and produced excellent fruit in
a climate more congcnial to them than To

SCARCITY OF GOOD GELDlNeS.

The scarcity of good-looking, good
acting and sound geldings and mares fit
for use by drivers of both heavy and light
roadsters is becoming proverbial the
country over. In conversation the other
day with a dealer who is on the road
most of the time, and continually on the
lookout for good geldings. especially, he
volunteered the remark that II now
know of but two really good geldings,
the kind that are now ready sale at nearly
old-time prices, one of them being in the
country north of st. Louis and the other
in a small town near Chicago" And
thus it is. Buyers are continually on the
lookout for desirable animals, but cannot
find them, TO the horse breeder the
future seems entirely clear, providing he
breeds to fill market demands. Quality,
not numbers, being their only necessary
motto, it seems that most breeders should
be able to produce at a good profit
