VALUABLE ROCK DEPOSIT.
Missouri Professor Finds That KAN
sas City Has stone That VIII
Make Good Cement.

In the last two years the department
of geology, chemistry, and civil engi-
neering in Missouri university have
been combining their efforts to deter
mine whether certain deposits in Mis-
souri, can be converted into cement of
good quality. The work has gone far
enough to enable them to say without
hesitation that Kansas City combines
large quantities of rock capable of pro-
ducing cement that seems to be of ex-
cellent quality, cand that deposits Of
cement rock of good quality have been
found at other places in the state.
When deposits are found that seem to
contain good cement rock it is neces-
sary to prove by process of manufac-
turing that cement of good quality can
be made out of the material. The
stone has to be ground, mixed, burned,
ground again, set, and then tested I'M
der the crushing machines. If success
does not crown the first series of ex-
pertinent they must be repeated with
various notifications, until it is finally
proved that good cement can or cannot
be made out of the material. Expert
ments have proved that Missouri con-
tains, at Kansas City and other places,
immense deposits of rock that can be
converted into Portland cement.

TAKES A TUMBLE AND SMOKES
Lands Right Side Up and with
LMtle Harm Done.

On the seventh floor of the skyscrap-
er hotel building which is being erect
ed on Clinton street, between Fulton
and Pierrepont, Brooklyn, late the
other afternoon a group of bricklayers
were at work on the outer wall of the
structure. One of them was Luther
Kerlin, who paused suddenly in his
work and began pulling vigorously at
his pipe.
Kerlin borrowed a match, scratched
it on a brick, and lighted his pipe.
Thank"
He did not finish, for in shifting his
position he slipped and fell. Three
stories down he crashed through the
skylight of another building and kept
on till he landed on the top of an ele-
vator cage. When the occupants looked
up and saw Kerlin on top of the car
they were astonished. He was sitting
up rubbing his head and with his pipe
still tightly clutched in his teeth.
While they were at work getting him
out three fellow bricklayers rushed in
to gather up his remains.
"Say, Mike" he said, "give me an
other match; my pipe is out again"

Salem, Feb. Is Possibly the In
ion Bank robbers, Bill Rudolph and
Fred Lewis, murderers of Detective
Schumacher. have taken refuge in the
Mint Springs Cave on the Meramee
river, about nine miles north of
Salem, in Dent county.
Sheriff Jack and Constable STROBE
have gone to investigate the report
brought here by farmers Of that 10
cality.
Two men, one tall, the other short,
and one having his head bandaged,
passed by Sligo, a furnace town Of 600
people, five days ago. The man who
had his head tied up remained in the
edge al the town in the brush while
the other man went in and bought
provisions. The two men then BRO
ceeded to the Meramec river, about
five miles distant, ard, finding this
cave, took lodging there. where they
have remained ever since. lnforma-
ton was brought to Salem two DAYS
ago that these men were at the cave,
and no attention was paid to the
matter.
Two farmers in the locality of the
cave determined to investigate.
They Went to the cavern after night
and'saw the men cooking their sup
per away back in the cave. The
farmers watched them the next day
and the supposed robbers spent the
day upon the hill above the cave,
where they could command a view of
the country for miles around.
Sligois25 miles from Potosi, where
the robbers abandoned their horses.
and the intervening country is very
rough and thinly settled. The men
could make their way back to Sligo
without much danger, as most OF the
inhabitants in that country proba,
bly, have never heard OF the bank
robbery. Sligo is a furnace town
which employs about 600 men,
counting the woodcutters and min
ers, and there is constant change OF
workmen from Sligo to Flat river
and back again, and people tramp
ing through the country would not
attract any notice or arouse suspi-
cion.

DIGESTIVE FACULTIES DECAY.
British Lecturer DenOuHces the Oys-
ter as ReAponsible Tor MOAS Of
the Diseases of Men.

DIR. Sir James Crichton III. Brown, in
a lecture delivered in London the other
day dilated upon the decay in the diges-
tive faculties of civilized man, to
which esaid anumber of diseasescould
be traced. Not only have modern men
not got such teeth as their ancestors
had, but their saliva is less abundant,
owing to the softer, pulpier foods that
are eaten.
People are living to an increasing ex-
tent upon peptonized foods, The in
crease ,of appendicitis is largely due
to indigestion resulting from imper-
feet mastication and the hurried meth
cd of living. From the same cause
people are less able to resist disease.
Consequently there is greater reason
for sanitary precautions, as injurious
bacteria did a maximum of harm.
He instanced various cases of danger
Gus food contamination, and described
the oyster as potential torpedo in the
bowels.
Referring to the recent outbreaks
of typhoid fever in Westchester and
Southampton, he said the disease could
be traced to oysters. He attributed
indifference and Incidence to the pub
lie and culpable negligence to puryey-
ors, and declared that IL legislation
providing for stringent inspection of
oyster beds was not passed, an meal
culable amount of typhoid fever was
in store.
All foods needed enforced protection
from bacterial contamination. Anti
septicism must enter to some degree
into the daily life of all and regulate
shopping ana cooking.

The Cow Pea for Hay.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
There is a great deal of land that
will be lying idle during the summer
months, as the result of cutting
wheat, oats, etc. What can we do
with this land so as to improve it,
and at the same time secure a crop
l believe there is nothing better
for the farmer to do, than to follow
his wheat land or oat stubble with
COW peas. The labor required to do
this work is not great, and when hay
sells from $15 to 500 per ton, as it
does throughout theNgreater part of
the State, it seems reasonable that
it is wisdom on the part of the
farmer to devote a goodly area to
this magnificent crop. It. is not at
all too late to do this work. If one
does not care to dispose of the hay
to the trade, the best practice is to
secure enough cattle or sheep to con-
sumo all of the hay raised on the
farm. Then too there is nothing
better as feed for horses than cow
pea hay.
Why can we not start a movement
throughout the State to follow all
of our oat and wheat stubble with
COW peas, and build up the livestock
industry in our State? There is no
hay superior to the COW pea,- either
for the dairy or for the beef herd,
and there is no crop that will more
cheaply and more quickly improve
land. The humus that is left in the
soil, to say nothing of the great
quantity of nitrogen that is stored
there from growing COW peas, will
more than pay for any effort that
may be used in growing the crop.
I am confident that it's value to the
soil will compensate any farmer for
every bit of time and labor devoted
to the growing of COW peas. The
high commercial value, be it either
for the market or for feeding pur-
poses, is, therefore, clear profit to
the farmer.
Think what would mean to our
State to have large areas each year
given to this crop. Think of the live
stock that could be fed, and the
manure that could be made, that is
worth so many dollars, and hundreds
of dollars, aye, thousands of dollars
to the land devoted to this purpose
think that the good gospel of cow
pea culture should be spread far and
wide. It is the most important prac-
tical matter for US, and we should
all be earnest advocates of the prac-
tice of growing COW peas.
[ trust that we all may adopt this
as one of our .mottos: Grow COW
peas. @. W. BURKETT,

pertinent Station, Raleigh, N. @.

About the middle of February SOW
fertilizer at the same rate, or little
heavier if the land is poor, and work
it in with rake or harrow. As the
plants root near the surface in the
early spring this will make the plants
grow quite rapidly and thus insures
a large crop.
GENERAL HINTS
After trying different grades of
fertilizer most planters now use
brands that analyze about 8-212-3
or 8-2-2. They claim that these
grades make better berries than
grades that run 8-3-3 or 8-4-5.
Do not put straw on until the
plant begins to bloom. Then place
it thickly enough to keep the berries
out of the sand. Nearly all growers
have quit trying to cover to keep off
frost in the late spring, claiming that
they lose more than they gain.
The rows should be about 312 feet
apart so that there will be room to
work in the middle.
After the berries are done bearing
run the plow within or inches of
the plants and throw all the soil,
thrash, ETC., to the middle of the
row. The rows then can be cleaned
out and the middles can be plowed
throwing the soil back to the plants
which renders the after-cultivation
much easier. The despised goose
comes in mighty handy now. One
or two to the acre, if middles of the
rows are piowed once in Is or 20
days, will keep all the grass down.
These plans apply to the Eastern
part of the State. They may not suit
the central counties so well.
