The following telegram from New
Albany, Ind, is taken from the Cincin.
natl Tribune:
Mrs. Mary La Tourette Stotsen-
burg, widow of Col. John Stot-
senburg of this city, who has just ar
rived at Washington with the remains
of her husband after trip of several
weeks from Manila, bears the distinc-
ton of having been often under fire on
the firing line around Manila. When
Colonel Stotsenburg went to the
Philippines his wife accompanied him,
and, arriving there, insisted on being
permitted to accompany her husband in
the subsequent campaigns. She went
as nurse with the consent of General
Otis, but on many occasions she had to
spend hours in the trenches with the
troops.
Letters from Manila to relatives here
written months ago, tell of instances in
which the plucky woman was caught
during different engagements and was
forced, with her escort to drop in the
trenches, where she lay with the bull
let's whistling over her head. On diff
ferent occasions she could not restrain
her enthusiasm, and, although she
does not make references to it, reliable
reports tell of her seizing rifle from
dying soldier and doing very effective
work.
"She has borne up bravely under the
great grief caused by the killing of her
husband, and, although thousands of
miles away from home, she reso-
lutely took into her hands the details
of preparing for shipment home of the
remains. On the long trip across the
ocean, suppressed by grief and respon-
sibility, her demeanor has caused the
greatest admiration for her. Mrs.
Stotsenburg will return to New Albany
with the parents of her husband, Her
two little children have been here since
their parents sailed to Manila"

The creates difficulty has been to make
product that would resist heat. At
last the chemists have developed
quality of corn rubber that will bend,
stretch, and show all the resilency of
the best Para, which is the standard of
commerce. In the manufacture of glu-
cose part of the corn, about 5 per cent,
could not be utilized. This waste is
what will be transformed into new
substitute for rubber. Corn rubber has
almost the same appearance as the ordi-
nary reddish. brown india rubber. Oil
of corn, from which principally the rub
her is made, does not oxidize readily.
Its tendency toward oxidation is one of
the principal defects of india rubber.
The chemists who have been working
on corn rubber declare this to be an
enormous advantage for the product.
Articles manufactured from it will al
ways remain pliable and not crack. 1t
is calculated that corn rubber can be
sold at six cents pound. 1t can be
adapted to nearly all the uses to which
ordinary rubber is put, from bicy Gle
tire to linoleum.

ENRICH YOUR SOIL.
Wonderful Forage and Fertilizlng Plants
Easily Grown.

Wonderful Forage and FertilizlnE Plants
Easily Grown.
The Globe.Democ is in receipt of
the following interesting communica-
tion from Captain E. A. Wilson, Wash
ington, D. c.:
Farmers in the north do not, as
rule, half appreciate the COW pea, as a
forage and fertilizing crop. There
is nothing they can grow on the farm
that begins to equal it, and the condi-
tions being anything like favorable,
they are morally certain of good ave-
rage crop. As an upbuilder of poor,
sandy and overworked soils, it is espe-
cially valuable. For speedy growth
and early maturity of seed the cow pea
stands at the head of all leguminous
plants. 1t is wonderful nitrogen
gatherer, and is, therefore, exeeeding-
ly valuable both as green feed, for
age and renovator of the soil.
They root deep, hence stand drouth
we'll in almost in any section, north or
south. Twelve to 10000 pounds of
green forage per acre, and from 20 to
80 bushels of seed is not an uncom-
mon yield, and with this mass of leaf
and vine turned under as fertilizer,
or cut and cured as dry feed, or used
for silo, must necessarily be of great
value.
The matured pea is especially val
liable for all stock on the farm, notably
for hogs, and to turn them on the pea
field will fatten them perfectly.
To grow a crop successfully plow
and fit your ground nicely, marking
out in rows 1S to "a inches apart one
way, north and south, the better to let
the sun penetrate between rows, drop
ping seed in drill row an inch or 80
apart and covering about 8 inches deep.
When plants are large enough to cul-
tivate run over field with weighted
harrow, paying no attention to rows,
thus freeing your ground thoroughly
of weeds and grass. If ground is not
too foul this will be all your crop will
need.
Most all of the cow pea family are
quick in fruition and maturity of
fruit, rarely taking over 80 to ITO days
from date of planting to harvesting of
crop. This legume will do fairly we'll
and will make you crop from very
light, poor, sandy or clayey soil; but
always bear in mind the richer the soil
the better the crop. In the different
sections of the country plant this pea
the same time as you would corn if
you want to secure crop of seed. II
for forage and fertilizer only, it can be
planted much later. There is nothing
gained by seeding before ground gets
fairly warm neither would plant too
late, as the leaf and vine is tender and
quite susceptible to frost. Any time
between the first of May and middle
of July will do for the north, and any
time after April for the south. l
would use at least one and one-halt
bushels of seed to the acre to insure
good stand and best results.

ANCIENT CoRN.-Mr. William Nc
Cabe, a resident of Riverdale, Md,
has six kernels of corn which were
found among others in mountain cave
of Arkansas, and said by those versed
in fossil signs to be 5000 or 5000 years
old, says College Park, Md, special
in the Baltimore Sun. Mr.. John +.
Burton, the sender of the precious
grains, has in his Office in Milwaukee,
Wiss., 10 ears, in every respect like
other corn, save that the grains are
much larger, and in color dark choc-
olate. Mr.. Burton received the corn
from Mr.. George Barnum, of Colum-
bus, Neb., and Mr.. Barnum raised
these ears from the original seed, dis
covered in cave hermetically sealed
in some ancient and curious pottery.
Mr.. Barnum planted the corn last
June, and the growth seemed to him
to be marvellous. In spite of the dry
and unfavorable season, this antedilu-
Wan maize grew to the height of 10
feet, and in instances to 15 feet, the
stalks measuring in circumference 7
inches, with leaves 5 feet long, when
other grain shriveled and perished un-
der the heat of the sun. Mr.. Burton,
seeing some notice of the gigantic &C.
real, and thinking it fake, wrote to
Mr.. Barnum about it. Mr.. Barnum
replied by sending him some of the
seed. Mr.. Burton has sent it to his
old home, near Lake Geneva, where
some of the farmers will see what can
be done with it. 1t has been demon
strated in the most satisfactory man
ner that the corn was actually found
in an old cavern in Arkansas. MIR.
McCabe has planted what he has, and
awaits the results. A great
deal of interest in this matter has been
awakened in this neighborhood.
