 equals top returns brought for the same class at the International Livestock show in Chicago last December. The cattle are known as "short fed," having been on full fed for ninety days.
 Colorado-fed lambs sold for $o.75 per hundred. They were the first prize winners in the open class. The lot, numbering fifty Southdown lambs which averaged eighty.one pounds, had been en- tered by Bruce Eaton of Eaton, Colo. The grand champion load of lambs, also entered by Eaton, were bought by Armour & Com. pany at $8. 30 per hundred.
 A shorthorn steer from the Colo. rado Agricultural college, weighed 1,o6o pounds, and sold for $I2.5o per hundred, or $2.25 per hundred better than the champion carloads. The champion steer entered by the Kansas Agricultural college sold for $11.25 per hundred.
 A worlds record was established in the sale of feeders cattle, a class in which the Denver show stands supreme. Twenty Angus Steer calves entered by N. L. Har- rison of Roggen, Colorado, were bought at auction by A. w. Bragg of Tuscola, Ill.,, for $I3.Io per hundred pounds.
 The carloads which had won the reserve championship, averaged 6o2 pounds to the animal, and brought SI,577.24, or S7S.S6 per head. This is S5 cents above the highest price paid for feeders at last years show, and S2. 50 per hundred better than the champion fat cattle brought Wednesday,.
 Bragg also paid S11.1o a hun dred for the fourth prize winners, twenty-five Angus steer calves enterted by N. L. Harrison, Jr These averaged 574 pounds. Wed nesday's prices for all feeders averaged from 25 to 50 cents per hundred pounds higher than year ago.
 The breeders sale, which was conducted by the American Here ford Breeders association, re suited in some record sales. Three pure bred Herefords sold for ovel $I, 1000 each, while the average price paid for sixty head wa: $44I.5o. Many of the animals were purchased by Eastern buyers, thus marking the movement of pure bred cattle from the West to i'm. prove the herds of the East.
 Governor Ammons, who lost none of his interest in the livestock industry when he became the states chief executive, proved himself a capable auctioneer when he conducted the sales of dressed carcasses.
 At previous shows the feature has attracted less interest than other sales. The governor over turned precedent by enthusing his bidders and obtaining from them some of the best prices ever paid for dressed carcasses at a National Western Livestock show.
 The delegation was headed by C. P. Mullen, president of the Arizona Cattle Growers associa- tion, Fred Coalter, vice president, and l.. l.. Harmon treasurer, all of whom were accompanied by their wives. The other Arizonians present were: J. M. Cartwright, Ober Lassen, J. C. Jamison and Dwight B. Heard of Phoenix; O. l.. Hart, Mir. and Mrs. Tom Fryer and Harlow Yaeger of Flagstaff; Frank Fogal and P. J. Stewart ol Tempe; F. A.

on this last trip totally unknown fact
about the aborigines of Haiti. namely,
that these people were acquainted
with the principle of filtering their

discovery all the more astonishing

supposed to be comparatively modern
