Apache Kids Skull

~ vi dSS SOliCSllOll
Chicago, May 1.-THE skull of
"Apache Kid" the notorious
Indian bandit, upon whose head
the Federal authorities put a price,
has been brought to Chicago and
will be presented to some anthro-
biological collection, presumably
Yale University.
William Kent, reformer, philan-
thropist and former Alderman,
financed the expedition which res,
cued the head Of the bandit, who
was killed by ranchers in the New
Mexican mountain ranges, SIX
months ago.
A man who took part in the kill
ing guided the party to where the
body had been left, and the head
was severed and brought to
Chicago
There is a total Of $4,000 reward
for the head of "Apachc KID" but
it will not be claim ed, as the ranch
ers were well paid at the time
they killed the outlaw, and the men
in whose possession the skull now
is, are all wealthy and do not need
or care for the reward. They are
more interested in the scientific eX-

which with the average run of hay
will come very close to ton. 1t takes
a very excellent quality of hay for a
cube of seven feet to make ton.
The rule for estimating the num-
Der of tons in an ordinary stack is to
multiply the length in feet by the
width in feet and this by the height to
a point where the stack would be
level This height is sometimes con-
sidered one-half the height of the
stack. The result divided by 500 will
give very good measurement of hay,
being the number of tons In the
stack.
To estimate the contents of a round
stack, says the Farmer, we multiply
the square of the distance around the
stack in yards by four times the
height in yards and point off two
places from the right and this will be
the number of cubic yards in the
stack, which divided by 20 will equal
the number of tons. For in

TILE DRAINS.
How They Should Be Laid and a De-
vice That VIII Aid.

Where there is a sufficient grade,
there is little to contend with in lay
ing tile. From the point where the
water stands, the shortest possible
cut should be taken through the dry
land to the outlet If, however, there
is a great deal of compact blue clay
between the marsh and the desired
outlet, 1t is sometimes more economi-
cal to run the ditch around these de-
posits than to attempt to cut through
them. If the ditch is cut through
such clay, it is advisable to fill in a
layer of coarse gravel just before fill
ing in the clay This will prevent
the finer particles of the clay from
entering and stopping up the tile.
When the land is nearly level and
it is difficult to tell just where the
ditch should be run to ''get the fall,
simple device can be made similar
to the one shown, Take 2x6, 16 feet
