Grew a Beard After Death.

About thirteen years ago Hal Clayton,
one of the best known gamblers on the
coast, died here of fever. lie was rich,
and his remains were placed in a costly
metallic casket with a glass case and
consigned to a handsome tomb. His
wife, who was frantic with grief, pla ed
her diamonds on his shirt-front. The
stones were valued at $500. Fearful lest
the gems would be taken from the vault
she placed a watch at the tomb, and 1t
was maintained for many weeks. lay
ton was Southerner, and the body was
dispo ed of above ground.
A few days ago George Dobbs, who
has the care of the cemetery, was pos
scssed with a curiosity to visit Hal Clay
tons tomb, and securing the keys of the
vault took look at the remains. He was
sstoniShed to find that Clayton's beard
and mustache had grown under the glass
case TO such an ex ent that they reached
below his knees The beard was rich
brown color extending in wavy mas, es
over the body and having a perfectly
healthy appearance, as it might have had
on living man. The beard had been
growing in thisway tn rteen years.
Clayton had a romantic life. He was
engaged 10 handsome young girl in the
South and left her to seek his fortune.
She became tired of his absence, and,
setting out to find him, drifted homeless
and friendless from one mining camp to
another. After years of this life she met
her foimer lover, but was so changed by
her wandering life that he refused 10
marry her. After his reputation of his
old sweetheart he became sick, and
when lying at deaths door she came to
his bedside and nursed him back to
health. Filled with gratitude at her de-
yotion, he renewed the affection of his
youth and married her. She proved a
devoted wife, and when he died she built
at large expense the vault where his re-
mains now lie, aad in which his beard
has been growing all these years.

A Remarkable Texas Plateau.

This celebrated plateau, comprising
about ten acres, and rising sixty feet
above the surrounding prairie, and ninety
feet above the level of the sea, lies SIX
miles northwest of Columbia. 1t is
covered by fert lie soil, with red clay
foundation, resting upon substratum
of shale, which is richly charged with
sulphate of iron, magnesia, lime, and
other salts usually found in mineral
waters emerging frcm states. This shale,
disintegrated in water and stepped, pos.
sesses medicinal properties of great value.
A yet lower stratum consists of com
pat limestone, yielding a good quality
of lime. There is but little doubt that
the mound is of seismic origin. Deep
crevices abouI d, penetrating. it would
seem, into the very bowels ofsthe earth,

wearing Out Cows.

1t is sometimes said that the COW is a
machine for the m nu,a ture of milk and
butter. This is true, with some import
ant limitations. The COW is a living
mechanism, aud therefore re luires more
careful management than aa nsensate ma
chine could need. There is such thing
as wearing out cows by iniudicious feed
ing. Good cows have enormous appe-
tites, and demand abundant and ltri-
tious food. But they should not be forced
or tempted TO eat more than they natur-
ally will. While the coarser and less
palatable ration should be given freely,
yet grains and meal must be limited.
Some of the great milk and butter records
fol short periods have been made by
stimulation W tn food. which for animals
is almost as destructive o health as st m
ulation by drink is to 2 en-. The only
correct test of cows is their yearly pro
duct. Another way in which good co ws
are spoiled is by deficient nutrition du r
ing those times when they are not giving
milk. The owner thinks that less and
poorer feed will do them, aud so the cow
while be ring her calf is fed largely on
straw and becomes poor.-Americaa Cul-

A Sign in tha Moon

OF fine weather--another curious examp G
OF how sayings get TWISTED; but in that
statement he is quite wrong. The appear
ence is almost universally held to be a
sign Of had weather Two explanations
have been offered to account for the
prognostic, in ca h of which there is un-
doubtedly measure of truth. When the
moon appears new to us, the earth
would appear full to the lunar inhabi-
tants, If there were any; and what causes
the dark part of the young moon
to be dimly visible is its reflection
OF the brilliant earth-shine. The
earth, however, will not always

more light than either land or sea.
Hence, when an unusual illumination of
the night.side of the moon is apparent,
1t shows that the earth.shine is excep.
tionally strong, which in turn is an indi-
cation OF the presence of large amount
OF cloud in our atmosphere. Further,
as moments consideration will prove,
the cloud era must lie TO the west of us,
the direction from which we receive
mostof our storms so that the apparition

Farm and Garden Notes.

Sheep need a little grain in winter.
Warmth saves food in keeping live
stock.
The fodder-cutter is an economical
machine.
Roup in chickens is caused by expos
ure to dampness and draughts.
Watch for eggs of ent-caterpillar on
tree and cut off and burn them.
The farm tool room or repair shop
should be patronized at this season.
In feeding turnips do not give too
many. Skim milk for calves should be
fed warm and sweet.
Supply poultry with plenty of sharp
gravel when the ground is frozen hard.
They must have something to grind their
food.
Good food, pure water, not too cold,
and warm stables, are the three great
agents in milk production, says Hoard's
Ddirymda.
p. H. Jacobs thinks that the yentila-
tion hole in the top of the poultry house
roof kills more fowls in winter than any
other cause.
Cold aud lack of food may check the
growth of wool, and when it grows
again bad place in the fibre often marks
the point of stopping and beginning
again.
. Don't throw feed of any kind in the
mud or in the dust. Have an elevated
flooring to feed hogs on and keep it
clean. The dust in hog pens is said to
be prolific cause of sickness.
f. d. Curtis saws that farmers can
make cheaper aud better pork by stint
ing hogs to half the amount of grain
they would eat, and then giving them all
the rutabaga leaves they will eat
Shut up the cracks with tar paper or
other material. 1t will keep out the
frost and cold winds that are prevalent
at this season of the year. A general
cleaning up and repairing should be
done now before a change in the weather
arrives, and when it will not be so
pleasant TO work about as it is now.
Peas have been found an exceedingly
effective food for producing milk. In
the feeding test of noted Jersey COW,
in which an average of seven pounds of
butter daily was gwen for week, six
teen pounds of pea meal was fed per
day, with sixteen pounds of oat meal,
and twenty -four pounds of corn meal.
Ifthe end of fresh egg be applied to
the tongue, it feels cOld that of stale
egg feels warm. This is due to the white
of the fresh egg being in contact with
the shell, and abstracting the heat from
the tongue more rapidly than does the
air bubble in the stale one. Fresh eggs
are most transparent in the centre, stale

During the late session Of the Dairy
mems Association Of New York Mr.. w.
III. Gilbert read paper on "Butter
Making He said, as reported in the
Orange County Fdmcr that when he
went into butter making he made up his
mind that he wanted a butter COW. From
information and reading he further made
up his mind that the Jersey was the
best. He began by buying registered
Jersey bull and bred from The best cows
on his place. During the past season he
made in June one pound of butter from
1867 pounds Of milk; in August, from
17.15 pounds; in September, from l7.S1
pounds in October, from lS.43, and in
Move nber, from l9.4S. He has about
100 cows in milk, from two TO ten years
of age, their average weight being about
$50 pounds lie likes his ows to come in
during the fall aud early winter. In sum-
mer they Craze in the day and are in

feed green clover and continues until
August; then feeds green corn fodder,
two hills of corn night and morni z He
uses twelve to fifteen tons of plaster in
winter in the stable, and feeds silage and
grain morning and evening. In summer
he milks the cows at 6 A. NJ. and & P.
NJ, in winter at 4 A. NJ. and ; 80 p. NJ.
The milk is set in submerged cans as
soon as p ssible after milking. After the
cream is skinned it is raised to a tenn
perature of sixty-two in summer and
81 Nty-five in winter to ripen, which gen.
orally takes about twenty-four hours.
During this process it is frequently
stirred, the aim being to keep it at a
uniform temperature. He churns it at
temperature of siXty-two to sixty-four in
summer and in winter from sixty-four
to sixty-seven. He uses q revolving box
churn, and churns on an average about
forty minutes. As soon as the butter is
well granulated stop churning, draw off
the buttermilk and then wash the butter
with weak brine. The butter is then
taken out. salted-one ounce salt TO
