bred to thoroughbreds. standardized

each case.
Doubtless nothing definite will
ever be known about the source OF
this prepotent blood, but so little
has been preserved of the history Of
individual wild horses that an
authentic history of the horse Kit
Carson would make a record Of some
interest and value.
The story of the golden colored
stallion, Kit Carson, as l got it from
an old man, was that he headed a
band Of wild horses in the plains of
Texas and was never known to
break a pace. All efforts to capture
him failed until a great hunt was
organized and he was creased"
and stunned when he tried to escape
through the circle that had been
thrown around him.
l have letters about this horse
that show that he remained captive
at least long enough to perpetuate
his race and likeness. Where and
how long he lived and whether others
of his blood remain than those have,
do not know. i am not in a stock
country and am hemmed in by
CLASSY asphalt roads and l am keep
ing up this stock as much for the
sentiment as for their sterling sad
die qualities.

years old. of the same color that L
would like to restore to the western
plains en- some great horse range.
to tie a race of cow horses and
American saddle horses definitely to
the glorious past. Failing that, the
sun still can CLINT on his golden coat
in his restricted paddock and his
startled crest and nostril-trumpet
blast carry the imagination to his
great prosenitor, namesake of the
famous pioneer, heading his band in
the great spaces.-From Adventure

usually very simple. The antenna
should be shortened until its length
is not over 100 feet, including the,
length of the lead-in and ground,
wire. In addition to this, fixed
condenser having a capacity Of from
.0o0l to .00025 microfarads may be
connected in series with the antenna.
This means that the antenna wire is
connected to one terminal of the
condenser and the other terminal Of
the condenser is connected with the
antenna binding post on the re-,
ceiver. A usual grid condenser may
be used for this purpose very nicely,
Remember, that to increase the,
selectivity of radio receiver, re-
duce the length of the antenna or
insert small condenser having
capacity as indicated above in series
with the antenna. In case of ne
cessity, do both Of these things. :
Usually, if this is done, and if the
receiver is very carefully operated,
the results will be surprising COM
pared to the results formerly OBJ

SHORTEN YOUR ATHENA AND lNCREASE
YOUR SELECTlVETY

When using a medium priced
radio receiver, located for instance
in the heart of a large city and sur
rounded by several powerful broad
casting stations, the receiver will
many times seemingly display a lack
of both selectivity and sensitivity.
In general, it has been found that
such receivers, especially when in
stalled by the uninitiated. have an an
tenna much too long. The length of
an antenna, by the way, includes the
length of the lead-in and ground
wire. Particularly on apartment
houses, one is apt to find fiat top
antenna so or 70 feet long, with a
lead-in attached which runs from the
top of the house to the first floor,
being invariably 100 to $50 feet in
length. The result is large amount
Of energy is picked up by such an
enormously long antenna, overload
ing the vacuum tubes, and despite
the efficiency of the tuning circuits,
extremely poor overall receiver Sc
lectivity is obtained.
The solution for such trouble is

The Golden Horse-Kit Carson
Pv y IT M Moo

I would like to draw out some
facts about the noted wild horse Kit
Carson. My research about this
horse began in 1905 when bought a
saddle mare of peculiar golden
color. not a sorrel and not a dun. l
found that her color came in un-
broken line through six intervening
generations of mares of the same
color, running back to the wild
horse, Kit Carson. known on the
plains as "the pacing mustang"
l have carried the color through
three generations Of breeding and
have three young horses Of that
color now. This stock preserves this
peculiar and distinctive color no
matter how pure and strong the
blood on which it is crossed. The
maies IN their pedigree have been

Valuable Black Walnut

A number Of native black walnut
trees have been discovered whose
nuts possess superior cracking
qualities. BY means OF scions or
buds from tie original trees, these
are being propagated in greater
numbers each year. since the value
of the nut crop is thereby greatly
enhanced and the timber is of the
Same high quality as that Of other
walnut trees. Stocks of these
selected trees are available in limited
numbers from the owners and make
possible the growing of valuable nut
trees about the home or in nut
orchards, says the American Fores-
try association.
