HORSE EVOLUTION.
American Museum of Natural History
Finds Missing Link.

At last the cham of equine evolution
is complete After yca.s of search, and
just when all hope Of r'CcSs had been
abandoned, the American Museum of
Natural History, New York, has been
rewarded by the discovery of remains
of the mountain horse or Orohippus.
This discovery fills in the last gap in the
record which science has long endeav-
ored to make perfect.
The mus nm began its explorations in
1901 under the direction Of Prof. Henry
+. Osborn. curator OF the department of
vertebrate paleontology, with a trip TO
the Big Horn basin of northern Wyom-
ing. The expenses We're betrayed from
a fund contributed 10y the late William
C.. Whitney. At his death these special
explorations had to cease, the hunt for
fossil horses is now carried on in con
junction with that for other fossil ami
mails, until some equally public spirited
horse lover comes forward 10 continue
il distinctively.
The locality around Fort Bridger,
Wye was carefully searched for fossils,
but particularly for the mountain
horse fragments of which had been
found and named by Prof. Marsh in
1872. Parties sent out hy the American
museum visited this region in 1893 and
1895. and from 1903 TO 1903, but in
spite OF the most interchangeable efforts
the Orohippus eluded the searchcrs. 1t
had begun to look as though the at
tempt to locate his skeleton would have
to be given up as hopeless. when on the
very last day of the final expedition of
1903, just when the party was about to
return, the long locked for remains were
unearthcd. These consisted Of the skull.
backbone, limbs and other parts Of the
skeleton of the very stage wanted.
The find has not been publicly an

Alfalfa for HOGS.

At the Kansas Experiment Station
hogs were fed on ration Of alfalfa
hay and Kaffir corn meal. The gains
were 70 per cent more on this ration
than upon a ration of Kafiir corn meal
alone. For every bushel of kaiiir corn
meal and 7.S3 pounds Of alfalfa hay,
the gain was loss pounds while upon
kaffir corn meal alone the gain was
7.4S pounds per bushel. 1t is shown
that the hay gave better results when
cut early and that the chief nutrment
was III the leaves, which should be
carefully saved during the process of
harvesting. An earlier experiment at
the same station was tried TO deter
mine the value of alfalfa pasture for
hogs. The hogs We're allowed to run
upon the alfalfa during the summer
and We're fed n light ration of grain.
After deducting the probable gain for
the corn It was found that during the
summer each acre of alfalfa pasture
produced 40 pounds of pork.

Pays 10 Raise White Beans.

Common white beans are a good
crop for the farmer to grow, If they
are grown under the best methods.
Good sized seed should be planted
rather than small seed. and the plant
ing should be after the danger of frost
is past, rs the leaves of beans will not
stand frost. The farmer should at
least raise enough for his family
which can easily he done on a very
small strip of land that has been only
moderately MANFRED This small de
mand for manure is due to the fact
that bean plant roots have on them
nodules containing bacteria which
gather nitrogen from the air. White
beans need food cultivation, SO that
the soil around the roots can be well
treated, which favors the development
Of the noduleS.
