SUCcOTASH FOR STOCK,
Prominent Stockuian Gives Some
Pointers.

Mr. E E Laughlin a prominent farmer
of Bates county gives some advice to
stockmen in letter to the Hume Tele-
phone as follows:
"Succotash is an old Indian dish CON-
posed of dried corn and beans. We aIl
enjoy this dish, not of dried but green.
Some of more progressive agricultural
writer's now call corn and COW peas
planted and cut up, shocked together
succotash for the COWS.
81 tried field Of ten acres in 1900,
and as the corn and COW peas were plant
ed at the same time, the weather was
too cold for the cowpeas, but where the
corn was out they made wonderful
growth. The corn binder seemed to re
vel in tying the bundles and the peas
cured out to perfection. Over much of
the Southwest the stand of corn is poor
by reason of poor seed bed. Many will
find it of profit to replant with cowpeas
even if left iu the field. We find the
nitrogen fixed by bushel of COW peas
is about equal to SO worth of nitrogen
fertilizer. If we cut up, the roots carry
So worth Of this element. This is the
estimate when one bushel is sown to the
acre. just at "laying by" of corn is Il
good time. Farther south broadcastipg
seems to be the custom, but hero in the
latitud of St. Louis, | like the hill
plan; then the binder helps me gather
what would be wasted in the shape of
feed. Don't allow rod square to lay
idle after putting in five or six dollars
per acre 10 labor in the corn field. You
get fertility faster at less expense than
If hauling manure from some town.
"fhe Missouri Experiment Station
sows cow peas on wheat stubblc, getting
one or two tops of hay per acre; getting
off the COW pca crop in time for wheat.
They say III pays big. If COW peas are
left on the ground the next year a wall
or step can be seen between where the
COW peas stopped, il either oats, flax or
wheat is grown.

MYSTERY OF BURIED BOX
sTRANoE.cIRcUMs STANCES ATBA
,KeR FART NEAR MAPLE GROVE.
Unknown Man Unearthed and Carried
Away Tin Receptacle He Got
From Under a Floor.

civilian Baker, u prominent farmer
living three miles west of Maple Groove"
says the Carthage Presa, "was in the
city yesterday and related strange in
cident which happened at his farm
Tuesday.
"Mr. Baker says that shortly after
the noon hour Tuesday stra nge man
drove up to the yard fence, hitched his
horse and walked back of the house.
Only the daughter OF Mr.. Baker mas at
the house and rs she thought the man
had merely stepped back Of the house
to'reach the harvest field, she paid no
further attention to his actions, After
lapse OF some Tins he again appeared
and drove away. However, in less than
an hour he returned and walked back
of the house again.
''ln few minutes the girl saw him
cross the yard carrying large tin box,
such as might be used for storing money
or valuable,. Where he got the box is
mystery, as no one saw him alter he
reached the back yard. The removal of
few planks from the coal house show
ed damp spot in the earth about the
size and shap, ofNlhe box and il is
thought that the strange individual had
it'hid under the shed. What was in
the box or the reason for secreting it is
not known, but it is the belief f Mr..
Baker that the box has history.
at seems strange that the man should
have goue for the box 10 broad day
light, but probably tho place looked
deserted, as the time was in the heart
Of the harvest season.
