SAY THE HENS DO THINK.
Facts in Experiments to Test Their
Power of Memory

POWeT Oh memory.
If the average man were asked if
hens had any memory he would proba-
bly, say, NO." says the st. Louis Post
Dispatch, but he would be wrong, accord
ing to the experiments of two German
scientists. The plan they adopted was
to gum twenty grains of rice on a piece
of cardboard, and between them to place
ten grains of loose corn. At first the
hens, of course, pecked at both rice and
corn, but soon they learned to leave the
rice alone, thus very clearly showing, ac-
cording to the scientists, that they re-
membered the rice was stuck down.
A very remarkable point about the
experiment was that the longer the time
between the trials the better was the
hens memory. When the experiments
were made consecutively 1t took them six
times to learn that the rice was not
worth touching, but when the expert
ments were made at intervals of an
hour they learned the lesson at the third
try, thus showing, it is claimed, not only
that they had memories, but that they
thought the matter over in the intervals,

Caught a 461s Pound Catfish.

Last Wednesday while Ben Hous-
ton was fishing in Grand River near
the Springer bridge northwest of
Decatur City, he found a big catfish
located in hole in the bank. He
tried to land him, but he was too big
and got out in the deep water. Ben
told the fellows at Decatur City about
the big fish and the next day w. H.
Lloyd, Rube Mclaughlin and G. r.
Meeker went down to the river with
him. They found the old fellow in
the same hole, and by holding a
sugar sack at the mouth of the hole
they ran him into this and finally
landed him. When taken to Decatur
City the fish tipped the scales at
46lk pounds. Fishing in Grand River
is unusually good this year and some
OF the biggest fish caught for years
are being taken from the river.

A $3,5OO,OOO Sugar Deal.

The following account of big
sugar deal negotiated by Nelson
Rhoades, jr., half brother of F. M.
Rhoades of Leon, is taken from a re-
cent issue of the Daily Herald pub
lished in the City of Mexico.
Culiacan, Sin, May 26.-What is
believed to be the largest deal in the
history of the sugar industry in
Mexico was consummated today when
Nelson Rhoades, jr., general manager
and one OF the principal stockholders
of the Sinaloa Land Co. completed
negotiations for the purchase of the
Navolato Sugar plantation and fac
tory, for three and half million
pesos. The plantation and mill of
the company are located in the valley
of the Culiacan river, twenty miles
below this city.
The purchase was made from the
Almada Sugar Refneries company,
composed of Jesus, Jorge and Pom
ciano Armada, three brothers. Some
of his associates in the land company
are interested with Rhoades in the
purchase.
The plantation comprises $4,000
acres, 5000 acres of which are now
in cane, a modern sugar mill and
dlstillery. The mill has capacity of
900 tons of cane daily, while the dis
tillery is capable of turning out 1000
liters of alcohol daily.
An irrigation canal twenty miles
long, is now being built by the Sin
aloa Land company, which passes
through the Navolato lands. Rhoades
and his associates plan to build up a
great sugar enterprise along modern
lines. The Almada interests have
owned the Navolato properties for
the past eighteen years and for the
past few years their company has
been one of the principal sugar pro-
ducerS of Sinaloa.

Death of c. o. Bradley.

c. o. Bradley, a barber of Atlantic,
who worked for G. E. Henderson in
Leon few years ago, died in the
city Jail at Des Moines last Wednes-
day. On Sunday Bradley, who had
been drinking heavily, went insane
on a train between Valley junction
and Des Moines, and terrorized the
passengers by marching through the
coaches with revolver and a razor,
telling them to keep their seats while
he killed the engineer. Suddenly he
leaped headlong through coach
window and was picked up later in a
bruised condition, and taken to the
Des Moines Jail, where he was given
medical attention. He was violently
insane and died at noon on Wednes-
day. The deceased was about 81
years of age and is survived by a
wife and two children. His remains
were taken to Humeston for inter-
ment.
