Los Notwithstanding either a
race of hitherto unknown pygmies. or
the ostracizing of the unfit by the
a%borigines Of the Pacific coast, so
strange malformed skulls and other
interesting remains have been dug up
near here by De Moss Bowers and
Charles T. Brown, amateur archeolo,
sists.
Whether the relics are OF pygmies
or a primitive form Of eugenics is q

Bowers. The skulls are by far the
smallest that | have encountered in
80 years of excavating for Indian re-
mains in California. The malforma'
ton OF the skulls may be highly sig
niticant.
Though | can't answer whether
these were the skulls of the unfit, the
morally depraved, who had been os-
tracized. or those OF pygmies, can
answer another question. 1t is that
these are the skulls of fully grown
men and women The maturity OF
the teeth shows this.
In the grave we found ollas or
cooking bowls of steatite, serpentine
bowls. and knives of ebert. affixed to
redwood handles by asphaltum. Now
steatite is found only on Santa Cata-
lima island, while no deposits of ser
pentine are known outside OF San
Luis Obispo county.
"EvideGtly these pygmies traded
with the Channel and so-called Mis-
sion Indians. Bones from the head OF
a whale. painted red on the inside,
were used as the head and footstone
of the burial cairn, though the burial
place is nearly 100 miles from the
sea
"A mystifying find in the cairn was
a baked clay bowl. The Indians OF
Arizona and New Mexico knew how
to bake clay, but those Of California,
so far as we know, did not. 1t might
be that we have here a strange iso.

rules and regulations no such de-

II Is a mistake for the inexperienced
man to undertake the feeding OF hogs
unless he expects to make a study Of
it and improve upon the mistakes he
Is sure to make at first.
1t is a mistake for the city farmer
living in town to trust his hogs to the
average man. He is not likely to
make a success of 1t.
1t is a mistake to try to raise hogs
on an exclusive diet. You ask what
kind of feed to give them? What
kind of feed can be produced on your
farm in your locality? Give them
plenty Of that in variety. These feeds
should be given in such relation to
each other as to meet the varied needs
Of the swine system.
It is a mistake to forget that the hog
Is a grazing animal.
It Is a mistake il the hog is not fed
in a clean place free from dust and
mud.
1t is a mistake to overfeed, and 1t is
q bigger mistake to underfeed.
