On almost all the farms haystacks

unwary chickens were seen to saii
through the air much against their
will; and farmers had to unhook
from their drills, as the seed was
swept away as fast as 1t dropped
from the planter.
In spite of the violent weather. all
the farmers in the Collins neighbor-

When planting became impracticable,
the teams were hooked to plows and
the work continued. 1t seems I

to be the first to quit and so they

DISCOVERY MADE
&, FARMER UNEARTHS CURIOS
Cooking Utensils of Primitive Type
Turned Up by Plow
iAult Special. J

NAuAs oPS>AAs'(
While plowing strip OF sod NJ.
sand. farmer living near Ault, re-
Gently unearthed some cooking uten-
sils of the most primitive type and
now has them on display at his ranch
home where they are objects Of great
interest to the curio seeker. Whether
the articles in question were used by
the Cheyennes, who roamed over the
prairies hereabouts. or whether they
were the belongings OF y much ear
lier race, is a problem for the stu
dent of savage and primitive races to
determine.
The most interesting Of the OBJ
jects discovered is a mixing bowl OF
mill presumably designed for use n
crushing corn. 1t is thick slab Of
stone about sixteen inches long AMI
fourteen inches wide, crudely hol-
lowed in the center. Its duplicate
can be seen in any museum where
household articles taken from the
Mexican pueblas are kept.
With this bow was found q long.
slender stone, worn round at the
ends and about twelv, inches long
and it is probable that this was
grasped with the whole hand when
the Indian squaw lady got busy at
the mixing bowl Two other rocks
of the same general shape and as
pect but only about half as long as
the first were also found with the
bowl. For practical use these were
likely grasped with the fingers as
they are hardly long enough for :,
good handhold.
More than a year ago duplicate e
OF the first rock was discovered on
nearby ranch and may have been
part of the same cooking outfis.
None of the articles were buried
deep and were probably silted over
by dust storms rather than hidden
by the owner. Judging by the muI-
titudes of arrow heads that could be
found twenty years ago on the land
here, potting each other must have
been favorite way OF passing the
time in the early days, and the outfit
may have been abandoned under the
stress of circumstances.
