story of a Providence man who Had a Mar
row Escape from Premature Burial.
Manly 4. Corwin, of Providence, r. l..
has enjoyed the sensation of being coli ned
and prepared for burial, says the Boston
Globe. Bot for an accident he would have
been embalmed. de lives on Smiths hill,
and is a carpenter by trade. Sons years
ago be was at work on the roof of q three
story house and had sunstroke. Falling
at his work, he rolled down the sloping
roof and fell, an inert macs, to the street
below. He was picked up and conveyed
to the office of the nearest medical man,
who pronounced him dad. An under
tsker was sent for. and soon his assistants
were measuring the corpse and making
preparations for the embalming process,
which was considered necessary for pre-
serving the body for the funeral.
That evening a casket arrived with the
name OF the deceased, age and manner of
death engraved on a silver plate.
After the body had been coffined and the
room cleared Mrs. Corwin, the mother,
arrived, and while laying her head upon
his breast she fancied she detected mo-
ton of the heart. Another doctor was
sent for, who, after making stethoscopic
examination, confirmed the opinion of the
other physician, and declared lire to be
extinct.
The weeping mother was led from the
apartment, and the watchers awaited the
coming of the embalmer. The man was
delayed SO long that when he arrived the
family requested him TO postpone making
the incisiOn until the following morning.
The morning found the loving and dis
consulate mother at her sons bier again,
and sgain did the maternal instinct within
her tell her that her boy was not dead, but
sleeping. The embalmer came aud dis
played his instruments for opening the
veins and for eviscerating the deceased.
Then the mother refused to allow the
operation. In vain they urged her 70 &c.
cept the verdict of medical science, but
she refused to bulge, and, throwing her
body across that of her son, she declared
she would not leave his presence until all
doubt was ended. The weather was fear
fully hot and il was expected that the con-
dition OF the corpse would be uncomfortable
by the next night, but il was not, nor the
next night, and then some weight was at
tached to the old lady's belief. More doc.
tors came, other examinations were made,
and at the end of TIE sixth day slight
pu station was felt.
The man was alive beyond all doubt.
The house swarmed with physicians after
that. They came from New York, from
Boston, and from Philadelphia, and all
agreed that the vital spark mad not left the
body. although how to fan ii into life
sustaining flame was q question not so
easily settled. Various expedients were
resorted to, and on the fifteenth day the
| corpse opened an eye. After that the
| mans recovery was bat question OF time.
| To-day he is at work. q better and stronger
| man than be ever was and the silver plate
on his coffin, framed in crimson plush,
adorns his parlor.

Roots Retier than sIIoa.

Mr.. Collins of the Elmirs Farmers club,
as reported in the HuSJdHdman, has sought
information concerning the value Of silage,
and with this object visited many places
TO exsmine silos and to observe the result
of feeding silos freely. He has reached
the conclusion that roots are better, and
that they could be produced as chesply,
considering the cost with reference to the
results. He found no difficulty in obtain
ing COO bushels of beets from an acre Of
ground-much larger crops have been
raised, PIof. Roberts having obtained > 400
bushels. BE has fed roots with some grain
and only five pour Dis Of hay as the daily al
loWance for each COW. AS matter of be
lief, be declared it as his opinion that dai
rymen who used silage successfully fed
more grain than he with bis roots.

Care OF Mich Cows.
IOhiO State JOurnaI.I

When COWS are first turned to grass in
the spring, IL feed is abundant, they
ought 10 be allowed in the pasture but
few hours each day for several days-in q
word, the change of food should be
gradual. Csrelt ssness on this really i'm.
portsnt point has resulted often In serious
consequen ces.
To the oft repeated question, 'Shall
grain be fed to cows in summer the
general answer Is, No, not If the animals
have an abundance of good grass" The
most natural, and at the same time health
full, food for milch cows in summer Is the
green grass OF good pasture. When shorts
and bran are obtainable at cheap rates and
grass begins to fail, these may be used 70

cows, the milk gives q larger percentage OF
cream, while the quantity Of milk is also
increased.
It often happens that, when COWS are
giving an extra quantity of milk, they in.

condition should be prevented by the lu'

Importation of Diseased Hogs.
The president last week transmitted to
the two houses of congress a report from
Minister Pendleton at Berlin, dated Jan.
80, 1888, from watch it appears that trichi-
nCsis prevailed in certain parts of Ger
many, and that z number of persons have
already died from the effects of eating the
meat OF diseased hogs grown in that cOun-
Try. He also transmits report from the
consul 1t Marseilles, dated Feb. repre-
senting that for q number OF months Q
highly contagious and fatal disease has
prevailed among the swine of large sec
ti0n OF France, which disease is thought
by the commission of agriculture to be
very similar to hog cholera. The president
says 1t is extremely doubtful that the law
passed April 90, 1878, entitled an act to
prevent the Introduction of contagious
or infectious diseas into the United
States, meets cases OF this description. In
