"Akparaguruk" THAT Means
Split The-Wind

Akparaguruk.
Sounds like the Germans Ochi
Paragoric, but it isn't
It's fast runner" in the Es-
quimo language. That Is syn
onymous for Anu, or Spit-the-
Wind, 15-year-old Esquimo boy,
who bids fair to become the crack
marathon runner of America and
who is likely to carry off honors
in the great Olympic games.
Split-the-Wind only weighs "a
pounds In his running clothes, and
he stands feet 10 inches high.
He's slender and wiry but he's got
a heart of steel and leather lungs,
together with sturdy little legs
that carry him over 26 miles, 365
yards, the regulation marathon
course, in an average of a mile
every minutes and "a seconds.
A few days ago while training, he
ran his third mile in minutes
and 2 seconds. On a track run
ming Is laps to the mile he also
ran the last lap in 20 seconds.
ANU, or Split-the-Wind, as he
was dubbed by newspaper men,
was born in an igloo, or ice
house, in Alaska. His parents
were of the Cape Prince of Wales
tribe. When ANU was a baby
his father died of tuberculosis.
His mother married again and
that is why ANU left home. Step
father and stepson didn't get
along.
ANU, who had been running be-
side dog team ever since he first
began to toddle in fur clothes.
started out to make a living by
running. He went to Nome and
trained "Scotty"' Aliens two win

Split-the-Wind could run faster
and he beat the dogs time over a
ten-mile course.

When he was 10 he ran against
and defeated Victor Norman, Gus

the fastest mushers in Alaska.
Poor little ANU. He didn't
have any business ability. He
gathered scant profit from his
work. The white men raked in
the gold and Anu at times hasn't
had any too much to eat, although
he has won big stakes.
Mike Sawin, former Alaskan
runner, brought ANU to Tacoma
about month ago. Sawin spent
most of his time about the. pool

Judging Cows.

Judges and experts have realized
the Importance of certain points and
have fixed set scale for judging
dairy COWS.
Since the flow of milk depends
primarily upon the number, activity
and efficiency of the milk glands; and
secondly upon the flow of blood to
the udder and the nutrients contain
ed in the blood it is clear that the
stomach and udder deserve the i'm
portance attached to them; and since
the nervous system is closely CO.
ordinate to the digestive system and
directly controls to a considerable
degree the flow of blood to the udder,
it also deserves attention.
Since the abdomen and udder are
the chief manufacturing points it is
but natural that extreme development
in these parts should be sought for
and inasmuch as meat carrying
capacity and inclinations are not con-
sidered essential in highly specialized
dairy COWS these have been neglected.
This has resulted in a general type
that has been found to be good in
milk production.
There is no reason why dairy COW
must be narrow in front or wedge
shaped but because of the extreme
development of certain portions Of
the body and neglect of the other
portions such wedge shaped type
has resulted and is considered de-
sirable by dairymen.
The refinement about the head and
neck and the lightness Of the fore
quarters indicates that the animal is
not disposed to lay on flesh but rather
devotes her food to milk making.
A strong constitution is necessary
and this is secured in the dairy COW
by deep chest with good width.
particularly on the floor OF the chest
rather than by great spring Of rib.
Thus in the beef animal the strength
of constitution is secured by a deeper
chest, egg shaped with end down.
AS the supply of nutrients furnish
ed through the blood to the mamary
glands is governed by the efficiency
of the digestive organs a large barrel
is very desirable and is insured by
long, we'll sprung ribs set wide apart.
The open jointedness of the back is
merely an indication of the general
openess of the skeleton which as it
gives large roomy body, large for
weight, is considered desirable.
The broad loin accompanied by
width of hind quarters and roomy
barrel. The young animal is nourish-

ed before birth by blood vessels pass
ing through the navel and IL large it
is considered to indicate that the
foetus was well nourished before birth
and as an animal born strong and
vigorous Invariably makes a better
animal than one born weak there is
a large navel.
The width of hips, length and width
of rump and width between the pin
bones all indicative of large roomy
pelvic region we'll adapted to sustain
the udder and to the demands upon
the female In giving birth to young.
Viewing the cow from behind and
on the inside of the thighs it will be
noted that the hair is inclined to
grow in an opposite direction from
that on other parts of the body. The
portions noted is known as the escut-
cheon and it's Importance is due to
the fact that it is to some extent in
dicative of flow of blood to the udder.
1t is believed that a we'll developed
escutcheon is only found in connec-
ton with large arteries.
Knowing the structure of the milk
secretion it is clear that long udder
containing great number of gland
ular structures which make up milk
glands is favorable to large secretion
of milk; and this length of udder is
secured by an high attachment be-
hind and by an extension we'll forward
on belly of the udder.
lnasmuch as there should be in the
udder only glandular structures, con-
nection tissue. blood vessels, nerves
and such fibrous tissue as is sustain
the udder, no fieshiness should be
apparent; if present it indicates the
presence of an unnecessary amount of
tissue and which can be of no use
which may interfere with the working
Of the milk-secreting glands.
The teats merely serve to draw the
milk from the udder and the only
necessary requirements are that they
shall permit of the passage of good
stream of milk and shall be of size
easily grasped by the hand. The milk
veins discharge most of the blood
which passes through the udder and
hence are useful in determining the
blood flow.
Large, long, tortuous milk veins
branching and entering the body by
large milk wells almost invariably
characterize heavy mixers. G. L.
