oxen Used as Beasts of Burden by
Kaosaa Farmer.

Oxen Used as Beasts of Burden By
Kansas Farmer.
The use of oxen for pulling plows to
break up the prairie sod appears ike
getting back to first principles, but this
is what Is being done by one flnney
County farmer, George Estes, who lives
some miles north of Garden City. Al
most any fair day the traveller along
the road can see from one to half-
dozen yoke of oxen on this farm hitch
ed to as many plows, plodding patent
ly across a field, half sod, half fur
ro1wed says the Kansas City Star cor
respondent at Garden City, Kan. A
quarter of a century ago 1t was no
unusual thing to see a yoke OF oxen
pulling a load or hitched to a pillow,
but the sight Is so unusual now that
1t attracts a great deal of attention
Last fall Mr.. Estes decided to break
I'D large tract of sod and the ques-
ton of the cheapest means to be EN-
ployed in doing the work came up.
Steam and gasoline engines were used
by some farmers for drawing plows,
but these were expensive and require
considerable attention. Horses were
bringing big prices on the market and
mules were not among the samples
on the bargain counter.
Enough mules to run the number of
nIows Mr.. Estes wished to use would
buy a large farm in the unirrigated
part of the county and he considered
the investment too heavy. Then the
idea of working oxen came to him and
the more he thought of the plan the
more feasible it seemed. Oxen had
been used in breaking the prairie in
the early days and he determined to
try it again.
He had local blacksmith make the
yokes and a local hardware man Sc
cured the bows for them. He has
broken some cattle of his herd for the
work and the experiment promises to
be a success. When he completes the
breaking of his sod land he is plan
ming to use the oxen for other work,
in which he believes he will find them
fully as valuable One of the uses to
which he will put them will be the
drawing of the heavy beet wagons in
the fall and winter during the beet
slicing season at the sugar factory.
Old-timers in the county say that 1t
has been twenty-three years since oxen
have been used as draft animals and
the sight of the OK yokes in the black
smith shop brought forth number of
"reminiscences of early-day
farming.

because there is no rhyme for it. Sup

Then, in order not to lose his line, the
poet would drag in the new invention.

as beautiful and picturesque as the
legends of the old Greeks~and Romans.
Il boarded for five years with a
Creek Indian who had been educated at
Carlisle. He knew the Indian legends
and used to tell them to me and bis
children as we sat around the fireplace
of an evening. You know, the Greeks
lost ten tribes Of Israel. This Indian
was the son Of medicine man who
was once great and powerful in the
tribe. All his knowledge of Indian lore
came from his father, the medicine man.
''He repeated the tales to me as his
father had told them to him. except
that the impressiveness of the Indian
sorcerer, with his long, trailing robe of
eagle quilts, the conjuring valid and the
antastic and the weird surroundings o.
the indian teepee on lonely plain were
absent. The elements must be in the
right mood for the medicine man to DIS
close the secrets of his race.
THE storm spirit and the thunder
god must be abroad when the genesis of
the Creeks was repeated. The medicine
man would send out his summons and
the likellest and the bravest of the tribe
would be gathered in his teepee In IN
unfrequented gulch.
This medicine man said that the
Creeks were one of the lost ten tribes
Of Israel. The legend ran that they
were once associated with the other
tribes and that they had wandered and
become separated. They wandered for
years far to the north until they came
to a sea. There they built boats and
embarked. They steered their course by
the wand of a medicine man. Each
morning he went to his tepee and set
up his divining rod and told them
which direction to pursue. They fol-
lowed this rod from warm country to
cold sea, on which they set sail. The
sea was crossed and then they Travelled
toward the south again.
''The Creeks have a covenant of their
tribe which Is kept with the chiefs. No
one but the elect is ever permitted to
see this guarantee of the genuineness
of the Greek faith and origin.
Many Bible students and ethnologists
believe that they are the descendants
OF the "lost ten tribes of Israeli
These tribes wandered away from
Palestine and were never again
heard of. Some believed that they
wandered to the west shore of the Pa
cific and northward along 1t 10 the Ber-
ing straits, which they crossed to Alas
ka and then wandered southwark and
we're dispersed throughout America IN
the ages that followed"

Years passed away, and but few knew
their secret. Two children were born to
them, and still there appeared to be no
diminution in their love.
At length came the Restoration. Sir
Arthur accompanied his sovereign to Eng
land, leaving his wife, however, at their
old home until such times as Penrhyddyn
Castle could be rendered fit for her re-
ception. But that he might still be able
to have before him the image of his be-
loved wife, he took away with him a
portrait of her that had been painted a
few months after their union.
Several months passed away, and al
though he wrote to her long and frequent
letters, full of love and anticipation, she
yet remained in France. After time he
came over to visit her-loving, tender as
ever, but still he made good excuses to
delay her departure for England.
He returned home, but she was again
left behind-only for a few weeks longer,
he said. But the weeks passed Into
months, and yet she was not sent for,
and, worse still, his letters grew brief,
cold and infrequent.
Leaving her children behind in the care
of her servants, without one line of warn
ing to her husband, she set out for Eng
land. Alone and unprotected, she accom-
plished the whole of the then formidable
journey from Versailles to Cornwall
1t was night when, worn out with ia
tigue, she presented herself at the gate of
Penrhyddyn Castle. Some grand festiv-
ity was evidently going on, for lights
shone from every window, sounds of mu-
sic and of man.; voices came from with
in the door of the grand entrance stood
wide open, and people and servants were
hurrying hither and thither, so that for
time she could get no reply to her in
quiries for Sir Arthur Penrhyddyn.
You can't see him tonight, madam,
