McxicO's Stone IdOls-FOund Only IN
Remains OF Cities Destroyed Centurses

STONE IDOLS OF MEXICO

These idols are of very distinct
types, each locality having it's own
characteristic forms. The material
naturally varies with The class Of
stone found in the vicinity; some are
of granite, some of marble, and the
largest number are of volcanic rock,
some OF hard larNa, and others, includ-
ing the largest, of the soft tufa which
Is found so extensively in the volcanic
regions, and is most easily worked.
One small idol, in human form, is of
material so light that it will float on
the surface of water They vary great
ly in size. the largest being over five
feet in height, while the smaller ones
do not exceed a fingers length. The
great majority are crude representa-
tions of human figures, but there are
also images of quadrupeds of various
kinds. and also of birds. The largest
specimen of this ancient sculpture is
that known as the stone Lions of Co.
chiti' in which the animals are each
six feet long and surrounded by an
absolutely circular wall, like some Of
the Druidical remains in England; but
they are carved from the solid rock,
and while a most important and inter-
estng relic of ancient fetish worship
in connection with the chase, yet they
are immova bic and cannot be classed
among household goods.
AS previously suggested, none OF
these idols are ever found in the ruins
of the large number of Pueblo towns
destroyed or deserted about the time
of the revolution of 1880, and which
are those most accessible and usually
visited. They only exist in the ruins
OF cities destroyed centuries ago, while
the aboriginal religion was universal
and before any destruction or hiding
OF idols had occurred as a consequence
of the introduction of Christianity. It
is possible, therefore, says writer In
Leslie's Weekly, with certainty to fix
the age of every such stone IDOL at
not less than 800 years, and many OF
them are, no doubt, very much older.
Their varied types not only represent
different localities, but different phases
of advance in art in the same locality
No more interesting rclicts of the an
cient civilization of America have ever
been discovered within the limits OF
the United States.

Don't Ride . Wheel.

Among the many curious laws
made by our late, lamentcd, fusion
Legislature, is one making it a
crime TO "ride away any wheel
The law reads as follows:
"Any person who shall steal,
take, embezzle, carry or ride away
any wheel. shall be deemed guilty
of larceny and on conviction there
OF shall be punished by imprison'
ment in the penitentiary for per.
iod OF not less than one year MOI
more than ten years"
There can be no getting around
this law. "Nhoever rides away any
wheel shall be deemed guiity o
larceny" Not only that but the
law states that call cases which
are by this act declared larcen,
shall be deemed and taken 10 be,
and the courts of this state shall
construe the same to be, grand
larceny" And there you are-or

ARKANSAS VALLEY 70 slossom.


as rose. The farmers along the
Iiver in western Kansas and east
eIn Colorado have been making
giant efforts to raise sugar beets
at a profit. BY dint OF hard work
they have succeeded and each
year will show greater increase
in the acreage OF beets But it
seems that they are 10 get a double
blessing from their labors. Here
tofore, the pulp, or refuse from
the beets has been allowed to go
to waste, to pile in great heaps
around the factories or hauled
away TO get rid OF it. But a use
has been found for 1t that will
more than double the value OF the
beet crop. This use is as feed for
milk COWS.
The Continental Creamery Com
pany, which has always made a
Vi
which effects their business. early
conceived the idea that this pulp
ought to be fed 10 cows. They
sent to Germany and other coun-
tries where this produc, IS utilized
and found that II makes excellent
food for milk cows and they at
once began to push the diary idea
in the Arkansas Valley. Regard
ing the result OF their labors, MIR.
Parks said recently to Topeka
Herald reporter:
1.-The farmers OF that section are
just beginning to awaken to the
fact that they have been getting
only half of what their beets were
worth. They have been content
with the returns from the sugar
factory and have neglected the
pulp which we are ready to prove
is OF really greater value than the
sugar content. This pulp is act
ually worth from ten TO twenty dol
lars per ton for COW feed. II is a
healthy feed, feed which gives
great flow OF milk OF excellent
quality, and the flavor of the but
ter which is made from it is like
nothing else in the state, fine, del
icate and rich.
"Last year the beet raisers in
that section grew about FIVE tons
to the acre at value of a little
over S25. This year many OF
them will raise six tons to the acre
and will realize nearly seventy
dollars per acre. Next year every
farmer in that country will be
feeding from ten to fifty cows on
beet pulp and little alfalfa and
will be making cream enough to
make the Arkansas Valley flow
with milk and money. This is
only one more instance of where
the Kansas farmer has lacked di-
versity and has lost in the past.
For whole generations the south
ern cotton raiser thought his cot
ton seed worthless. Now it is
perhaps as valuable as the cotton,
all things considered. Ii is the
same way with the sugar beet. The
beet raiser is learning his lesson
and we have men on the ground
teaching them as fast as possible.
"Of course we expect to benefit
by this as well as the beet men.
We have arranged to take every
pound OF cream off their hands.
With hand separators they will
need no skimming stations and
can ship their cream daily to our
plant where we will make it into
butter. We pay them top prices.
Our company feels that the devel-
opment of Kansas, Colorado and
Oklahoma in the dairy business
means much to them. We feel
that our success is bound up with
the success of the state and that in
developing her resources we are
also helping ourselves. II through
our enterprise we can increase the
receipts Of Kansas farmers by a
lew hundred thousand dollars .

Weeds i'm Grass Lands.

1t would astonish many farmers 10
make an investigation OF the number
of weed plants that are to be found
in grass lands, and even in meadows
that are supposed to be in a high
state of cultivation. They are more
conspicuous in the pastures, because
our most common weeds will grow
on land where the cultivated grass
makes but little growth. The daisy,
the rag weed. mints and others are
often to be found Ivy the hundred on
a single square foot in the pasture.
while in spots the thistle. milkweed
and orange hawkweed have taken al
most complete possession. But there
are many in the rich manured now
ing, where the grasses grow so much
faster and ranker as to hide them until
the hay is taken off. Too close pas
turing is in some cases responsible
for these weeds Some Of these larger
perennials must be dug out. root and
all, before they can make seed or cut
down so often that they will perish
because of n lack Of leaf growth. In
some cases plowing, manuring and re-
seeding with clean seed seems to be
the only remedy, and 1t is not always
easy to get grass seed free from the
seeds of weeds. and a course OF three
years in cultivation, killing every
weed In the field or around It's borders
may be the only way to reduce their
number. 49,

treat seemed 10 be through an under
ground passage from the fort 10 the
lake. There was also passage which
led from the main trench. During the
first part OF the fight I remember that
few Moro soldiers escaped through
this trench 20 the open field and then
ran 10 the bush.
The cannon OF the Moro fort con-
sisted chiefly OF bronze lantakes with
a bore OF about an inch and a half.
