a Missouri Fish Story,

ut is a well-known fact that when
alarmed fish scuttle into dark places
beneath the water. A friend of mine
told me OF an ingenious plan adopted
by an old fisherman on the Blue river
to take advantage of this Ash custom, -
said A. S. Van Valkenbursh, United
States district attorney.
The old fisherman procured a bar
rel bored a number of holes in 1t and
weighted the bottom with lead and
iron. To the top were fastened two
ropes attached to windlass on boat.
Rowing out to the middle of the Blue
the barrel was sunk, resting on the
bottom Of the river Then the old
fisherman sent his four sons, two in
each direction, to points so yards
away, where they entered canoes and
commenced to beat the water with fla
paddles, raising a great hubbub. Grad
ually they worked down to the boat.
whore the old fisherman was ready to
haul out the barrel AS they came
close to him he quickly manned the
windlass and the barrel came to the
surface. BY actual count there were
rs shad, 40 carp, II catfish and nine
Jack salmon in the barrel. The catch
weighed 100 pounds. kansas CITY

ALFALFA CROPS.
Mercer Farmer Gives Valuable
Information.

Since interest is increasing in al
falfa crops. the following expert
ence of a Mercer county farmer
may be of value. Mr.. David l..
Sims, of BohOn, says:
Il bought one bushel of seed,
paving Sl1.50 for it. prepared
nv ground by a thorough break
ing snd narrowing and then sowed
it in oats and Immediately sowed
alfalfa. Both grew beautifully,
the oats preventing any seed from
starting in the ground. / cut the
oats last season and now have cut
a magnificent crop of alfalfa and
will get two more this year. The
yield was enormous. The cattle
and horses will quit any other feed
for the alfalfa, and, in addition, it
is the finest food for the chickens
that can be given. The life of al
falfa is easily from 30 to 40 years >
