NUMEROUS TROUBLES OF STOCK

There Is some doubt as to whether the

being made SO much of in some farm pa
pers Is not wholly a myth. On the other
nand IT may be that like nervous p%rostra-
tion In the human family 1t means moth

veterinarian who shifted the air and said

than those who use the mysterious word

the COW who has gone through n hard
winter and has probably dropped a calf is
III more or less of a nervous condition.. She
certainly is II she has not been fed wisely.

the animal have all the exercise that the
weather will permit. Under such treat

away.

Mr. Horstmann, who was II years
of age, was one of the oldest pioneers
Of the German colony of San Francisco,
long identified with the city's mercan-
tile and civic life. In 184s he left
Harpstedt. Hanover, where he was
born, to make his home in the new
world and seek his fortune He landed
at New Orleans in the same year, and
soon after his arrival there was mar
ried. In 1S49. when word reached the
East and South Of the golden discov-
cry in California, Mr.. Horstmann left
his wife in the Crescent City and start
ed for California by way of the isthmus
Of Panama
When he reached Panama he was
stricken with fever, that was preva-
lent at that time, and his journey to
California was deferred until his re-

covery. In the early part Of 1851 he
arrived in San Francisco and immedi-
ately sent for his wife.
They spent two years in Marysville,
where Mr.. Horstmann conducted hO-
tel.
About this time he engaged in the
business of importing ready-made
houses from Sweden and Denmark for
use In San Francisco. These were
built abroad, taken apart for shipment
and then set up on arrival here. Houses
of this kind are still standing on Minna
street, between First and Second.
Deciding to stay in San Francisco,
he engaged in the furniture business on
Dupont street near California, but suf-
fered a severe reversal and total loss
of his place in one of the early fires
that swept the city. Nothing daunted
he went into partnership with Fritz
Hufschmidt and engaged in business
opposite Portsmouth Square.
The business growing rapidly, the
firm erected fine stone structure on
Pine street, between Montgomery and
SansoIne and continued there until the
early sixties, when the business was
removed to the block on Market street
that is the present site of the st. Mich
olas Hotel.
Mr. Horstmann shared in the vicissi-
tudes of the early city government,
and in 1856 was a member of the Ger
man company Of the vigilance commit
tee. The company was commanded by
Captain Meyerdierks, and was active
in the establishment and preservation
of order.
During his active business life Mr.
