According to the belief OF the present
day population OF New Mexico, the
spaniards not only discovered but took
possession OF and settled In QulVlra'

Another version has II that the city
was destroyed by an earthquake, or
protracted drouth, causing the inhab-
itants TO perish OF thirst, etc. since
which calamity no one has ever been
able TO locate or discover the ruins OF
the city In which, according 10 popular
belief, untold wealth lies buried await

been going the rounds Of hired men, mi

Of Europe and Asia, deriving their ori-

The Cymric nations have during many

the houses were tiled and rooted with
gold, while among the inhabitants sill
yer was more common than stone. Cor
onado, like other Spaniards Of his day,
went on this expedition In search of
gold and riches hoping 20 meet with the
same fortune that befell Pl2arro In Peru
and at every point on his line OF march
both he and his men made diligent In
quiry for gold among the aborigines
whom they met.
The Quivlra story had foundation In
fact, that. In what is now southern New
Mexico. there was place called the
Grand Qulyira. a sand and mesquite

their neighbors OF the Grand Qulvira
were fabulously rich. Coronado set out
for the place, but missed II, and, for
the rest Of the journey inquired at
every step for Quiyira, the city OF
riches.
To make long and wearisome story
ifort i;,is enough to say that, although
Coronado Travelled as far north as the
border OF Kansas. he found neither the
city nor the riches that he expected, and
returned to Mexico disappointed man.
Thus ended the Quivira matter so far as
Coronado was concerned. but, like all

says:
1T Is like the movements OF 1879
1883 and 1857 In its intensity, but un.
like them In almost every other re.
spect. The number OF settlers who
had come TO the northwest in the first
four months OF 1902 exceeded the en-.
tire immigration OF last year. and
the total for 1902 promises TO surpass
the number OF settlers from Europe
that poured In any one year into this

foreign immigration.

Increase Of silos.

Reports from New York say that
good many new silos are being erected
In that state. The farmers are COM
ing TO appreciate the advantages OF
having on hand a good supply OF nu-
tritlous feed az all times OF the year
The droulh OF last year that so seri-
ously cut short the summer pastures
was a lesson 10 those that are willing
20 trust 10 luck whether they have
anything for their cows TO eat or not.
The silo Is an Insurance against short
supplies OF feed. One OF the great adj
vantages OF Il Is that rood crop one
year may be stored and held over for
years without detrlment TO its feeding
quality. AS the use Of silos becomes
more general we will have more and
more the practice OF storing for years
in advance OF need. In this way tho
feeder may render himself indepen-
dent OF the accidents OF weather. and
the supply OF dairy products will be-
come uniform. As II Is az the present
time only the best managed dairies
have abundant feed the year round.
