The story of the capture is presented
here as told by George M. Munger.
who was q corporal Of the 4th Michi-

Davis. His narrative corresponds to
that sworn to before the secretary or

EFFECT OF WATER ON PLANTS
Kentucky Wonder Beans Thrive Sur

Last summer I undertook to l1eep
alive a small bed of cannas. made by
laying down the tire from the
front wheel of a wagon. says a
writer in the Florist. In another cor
ton of the garden eight hills Of Kon-
lucky wonder beans we're planted late
in the summer in 4 circle about four
feet in diameter. Eight superanDu-
ated sunflower stalks nine to ten feet
tall were tied together by their toph
to act as supports. An old can filed
with fine, well-rotted and wa
tered every other day was sunk in the
center of the circle. The beans ran to
the top Of their supports and until
frost came yielded a very liberal sup
ply for a small family.
In the case of the hi several
barrels of water and countless adjec-
tives were used. In the case of the
beans a pailful every other day. On
this plan I have no patent and none
applied for, nor expectations of re-
ward of any kind. Without cost, it
will save labor, plants and adjectives.
Some critic might suggest that the
beans were planted rather close to-
gether. So they We're, but the garden
