A Caruthersville newspaper, pub- ishing a story of a baseball game in that city between the home team and a Memphis team, lauds Manuel for his great stick work in winning the game.

The good hitting of the Battle Shell Believed to Have I earthed Seeds Buried Decades Ago A strange phenomenon is to be seen at present on the battle fields of France.

Flowers, not known within living memory, are breaking out on the scarred surface and in shell holes ant dugouts. Botanists have become interested in the discovery of the plants, which, it is believed, have sprung from seeds buried in the depths of the earth for decades past. A well known batonist in London, discussing the phenomenon, said: is evidence that seeds may be buried for a large number of years awaiting the time of germination. is known that seeds have been buried for upwards of sixty years with out losing their power of germination.

Cape Missourian, Care Horses This harvesting and haying is going to be hard on horses shoulders, and no opportunity should be lost to take the best possible care of them. It has been well said, that "after a shoulder has once been sore, it will never again regain its normal resistance to collar hence it stands the farmer well in hand to wttch for the first indication of sores or even galls, using his best endeavors to cure them.

Clean collars every morning will do much to prevent galls which are the start of sores. When the collar is taken off at night rub all sweat off with the hand or a wisp of straw repeating this in the morning before harnessing. When the team is stopped for a few minutes rest in the field, lift the collar from the shoulders and let them cool off. Astringent washes, oak bark or tannin or a strong solution of salt water are often used to toughen up shoulders, those being best used at night so the hair will have a chance to dry before morning. In case of a sore, a healing powder from your nearest veterinary surgeon is isouri Farmer.

There are rumors about town that a very popular soda dispenser at the Bijou and one of the stenographers at the Scott County Milling were married last Sunday. So far we have not been able to gather sufficient information from either of the couple to announce it as an established fact. In selecting feeding stuffs for his stock the farmer will naturally be governed by the conditions of the mar ket. The cost of feeding stuffs is controlled by other factors than the ac tual amounts of food materials which they contain there often appears to be very little connection be tween the two.

The long-nosed god of Yuctan has taken his permanent place at the capital of the United States, where he stands visible on one of the panels of the finished section of the jade fence which is being built around the Aztec Garden of the Pan-American grounds. The jade fenec will be one of the most I interesting objects in Washington, its fifty-four panels decorated with de signs taken from the religion, sculp ture, and architecture of civilizations that had held sway in America before Columbus had ever thought of trying to reach the other side of the world by boldly crossing the Atlantic. The jade fence, in fact, will be an illustrated history of American aboriginal life and art, long-nosed god and all. The setting up of the first section coincided happily with the visit of President Pessoa to Washington, and gave him yet another pleasant memory of the United States to take back to Science Monitor.
