FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.
Farmers Who Find Their Fields Have Dis
appeared Over Night.

In the May ''St. Mic holas" Frank A.
Spearman has paper entitled "A Shift
| ting Boundary" which is particularly
timely just at present, as it tells of the
way the Missouri River has of sudden
ly changing its boundaries. Mr.. Spear
man says:
OF course you've heard of the curious
freaks of the Missouri River-thc Big
Muddy: how the sudden, treacherous
mountain waters roll down in mighty
floods from Montana and Wyoming, RI
cochet from side to side of the broad
valley they have eaten deep into the
soft prairies, aEd pour headlong into
the Mississippi near St. Louis; how,
night and day, winter and summer, the
twisting torrent shifts its channel, cuts
its banks, undermines railroads, aston
ishes the muskrats, keeps the fish stud
ylng guide-posts, worries the bridge
guards, and sets the farmers crazy.
For, just think of it: the Nebraska
farmer whose land stretches along the
river goes to bed thinking he will cut
his broad acres of golden wheat in the
morning; but 10, in the night that mad
cap river has entered his waving fields,
aud like snow they have melted away.
Grain, fences, trees, buildings, land
are gone! And a great, sulleu, yellow
flood boils and eddies where bis harvest
smiled yesterday.
Next week, very likely, the reckless
stream will make his neighbor across
the river present of hundred or
more acres, just because he doesn't
need them OF course it was natural
for man who lost his land that way
to look longingly across the river, and
think, after while. that the newly
made land oyer there belonged to him;
and many wearsome lawsuit has
been begun TO recover title to made"
land which lies, maybe, exactly where
the lost farm lay, but on the other side
of the river. Perhaps there is some
equity in such claim; but the trouble
is, that sort of thing is going on all the
time, and the courts said they couldn't
keep track of sdch pranks; that lands
acquired by accretion-mar k that word
should belong to the farmer who
owned the river bank where they We're
thrown up; that if the river took your
farm, you would have to fish it out of
the stream you lost it in; at least, YOU
needn't ask the courts to give you an
other for it.

4 Money Making Crop II Properly Grown
Paaksd and shipped.
The farmers Of Long Island are find.
ing that brussels sprouts ore money
making crop under proper conditions.
To grow brussels sprouts in perfection
il to follow, step by step, the same
methods employed in growing cabbage.
The cultivation Of the two Is precisely
the same. In the same soil and with
the same care and attention the results
will be the same. But a writer in
American Gardening calls attention to
some of the minor details that must be
respected to make the crop a profitable
one. He rays:
The first secret Of success lies In
growing fer winter rather than fall
crop, and herein comes tho profit from
it. The farmers hare been getting this
crop in the market too carly in the sea-
SCI. at a time when the cauliflower is
Greg and the taste is not yet ready
fer tn lew arrival. Brussels sprouts
arc net delicacy until after they have
been visited by several hard frosts, and
they should noI be marketed before:
What the farmers should do is to set
the plants about the first of August,
then the little heads will not be ready
to pick much before December. They
will also be very much harder than
those formed in warm weather, which
has twofold benefit: They sell better
and they will much better withstand the
rigors Of winter. More than that, field
Of five acres will furnish steady employ
ment for two men the entire winter in
picking, packing and shipping. Every
acre set will yield 5000 quarts, under
favorable conditions, providing, Of
course, good seed and thorough cultiva-
tion are included in the conditions.
Now, this is by no means large yield.
1t is nothing near what the average
should be or what we have seen, yet at
8 cents per quart 1t is very good farm
ing.
i. But how shall they be kept through
tho winter? is common question. The
authority quoted advises taking up, say,
one-third of the plants Just before the
ground freezes hard and setting them
erect, as close together as convenient,
without bruising them, in an orchard,
or, what is better, piece of wood, if
convenient, and lightly covering with
newly fallen leaves. They should not be
covered SO thickly but what the tops
can be seen. These plants can be taken
into the barn or shed as wanted, which
is when the weather is not suitable for
picking from the open field. Under the
leaves the little heads will continue TO
grow all winter, as they will do in lie
open field Oh all days when the temper
AZURE Ia above the freezing point. The
private gardener can safely let his plants
remain in the garden where they grow
by filling the spaces between with
leaves, which should be strcwn in as
lightly as possible, those on the outside
of the bed being kept in place by
brush.
Brussels sprouts can be set closer than
cabbages. In the garden they can BIO set
211s feet apart each way; in the field set
i'll rows feet apart and az feet apart
in the rows. Sow the seed the first week
in June and reset the plants when ready.

After Assaulting HIS Victim He Fouily
Murders Her.
Iron Mountain, Mich. Aug. 6.-Peter
Bons, the tramp charged with the muir
der of Pearl Morrison, at Crystal Falls,
has made q complete confession, &C.
knowiedging that he assaulted the girl
and then stransied her to death. The
confession was secured by a detective
who visited Bons. clad in q priests
garb, and was heard by others.
Bons said he saw Pearl leave the
main highway and take the Blaney
Creek road, and he followed. Over
taking her, he made an insulting pro-
posal and was repuised. He struck
the girl three times in the face, knock
ing her down. and jumped on her stom-
ach. Just as he was about to leave his
victim she groaned and opened her
eyes. He then choked her until he was
satisfied that life was extinct. He re-
turned to the place the next morning
to make sure that he had completed his
fiendish work.
He started his criminal career by
burglarizing store in his home town,
Norway, Mich, in 1892, when he was
but 16 years old. Since then he has
committed numerous burglaries and
holdups all over the country.
The Jail here is surrounded by tur-
bulent mob of excited citizens, demand
ing the blood of Bons. Extra precau-
lions have been taken to prevent vio-
lence,
