WONDERFUL IS THE MESQUITE
CONTINUED from first page.]

it Is possible that By proper wound
ing of the three or other artificial
means the product could be greatly
increased.
'The leaves of the plant are
nutritious. Stock browse on them
sparingly when green, but have
noticed that when partially dried
on a broken limb they are eaten
greedily. Probably some way will
be found OF putting up the leaves
cured so as to be palatable to cat
tie. If so the feed question for
west Texas would be effectively
settled.
"The food value of the beans for
stock is well known. They are as
fattening as corn and almost as
strengthening. If some method
should be devised for preserving
them stored they would be invalu-
able as winter feed. When eaten
in great quantity the long indiges-
tible fioer of the pod sometimes
causes impactions in the bowels
that may kill the animal Death
from this cause occasionally occurs
in Mexico among children who, and
the grown folks as well, are very
fond of the beans. These impac-
tions can be prevented by chopping
up the pods. Mexicans prepare
from the whole pod very nutri-
tious and to them palatable dish
called 'atole de mesquite There
is no harm in this atole and in
seasons bad for everything else poor
people partly subsist on it. There
are great possibilities for the bean.
Before they harden the seeds are as
sweet and succulent as English
peas, but the nature of the pod is
such that it IS very slow work get
ting them out. Unless some genius
invents an easy method of Smelling
them they are not apt to become
valuable as green peas. However,
ranchman in Webb County told
me that when very young the
whole pod by long boiling becomes
as tender as snap beans and just
as good food. He suggested that in
that shape they could be successful
ly canned. Just think of the pos
sibi'ities in that idea. There are
some hundred thousand square
miles covered with mesquite, every
acre of which yields abundantly
several times a year. The only
cost Of the immense crop would be
the gathering. Galveston, the most
convenient factory and shipping
point for the vast area producing
this natural truck, would soon
surpass Baltimore as a canning
center, while arid west Texas would
be supplying the ends of the earth
with cheap food"

Market Street

The Cleveland Plain Dealer gives an
account Of an accident that occurred to
Leanard Pierce, residing at 1912 South
Market street, Canton. The Plain
Dealer says:
Leonard Pierce of Canton, who has
been stopping at boarding house on
the corner of Payne and Case ave-
nues, was attacked by convulsions
about o'clock yesterday afternoon. He
was standing at the head of the stairs
at the time and lost his balance, when
seized by the attack and fell headlong
down the stairway.
He was taken to Charity hospital in

The county commissioners Monday
afternoon let a contract to Charles
Sheets to build two abutments in
Marlboro township near the residence
of T. N. Snyder for $3.50 a perch. They
also contracted with o. s. Oberlin to
grade and improve the ]. j. Cans road
in Lake township at 30 cents a cubic
yard. The work is to be done accord
ing to the plans of the county sur
veyor, the estimate being 900 yards. 1t

The commissioners also allowed the
bill of the Canton Bridge company for
repairing bridges at East Greenville
and Massllon, amounting to $1,113.
