A CURIOUS CORN COB.

Last week there was on exhibition
in MalIet & Mehegau's window, the
most eurrously shaped corO COB that
has ever been seen in tbls county.
The cob represented in full human
hand. The wrist part had nothing
very curious about it, being only an
ordinary looking red corn cob
About three inches sfrom the end the
cob grew larger till the knuckles were
reached, apd from here almost per
feet fingers protrude, slightly bent
so as to form a complete hollow in
the palm of the hand. The cob
belonged to Vernon knight. Such
a freak OF nature as this, d serces a
place in a musium.-Tarboro South

About II o'clock we arrived at Den's Creek,

down into the valley below we saw the rebels
moving about in every direction. They APP
peared to be foraging off Of the farmers in the

would be impracticable for us TO endeavor to
get anything to eat in that quarter of the coun-
try, and again took up the line of march with
depressed and desponding hearts, when. to our
very gteat surprise, We found two bushels of
corn in the ear, which doubtless some person
had concealed in the mountain for safe keeping.

NOTES.

We hear so much at the present time about
the coming hog-what he will be- how he will
look, etc. This may be all well enough We
are all aware that human nature is prone to
build air castles. but while we do not mean
to compare this with the talk of the coming
hog yet there is considerable that is alike in
both cases What we think is the best for the
farmer is for him to let the coming hog alone
wait until he cOmes-snd pay more attention
to the present hog. We think that if the time
lost in discussing the merits of the coming
animals were applied to better the condition
of the present animal the result would not
only be E,sre satisfactory but would unite in
making the animal acquire many of the points
which the future animal should possess.
The heaviest loss among swine. according TO
the Department of Agriculture reports, is sus-
tanned in the South. Georgia leads, with a
loss of almost 10 per cent, while Alabama,
Mississippi, and Arkansas are not far behind.
writer draws a fine conclusion that sheep
are cleaners on the farm. while to swine,
which perform the same duty, the title OF
scaveneers is applied. In our opinion the
sheep do better work for the farmer than do
the swine, and we think that the terms of the
writer are right
A few carrots given daily to the horses and
cows will he considered luxury by them, and
the carrots will greatly benefit them. One of
the best modes of providing a natural butter
color for the butter is to use carrots for the
cows.
To get milk-to get the most and the best
milk-the bodily comfort of the COW must be
considered and mnistered to. The comfort,
the ease, the perfect rest of the cow must be

We nassed a very miserable night at this place,

What u Dozen Is.

The child is taught at school that a
dozen means twelve every time, but when
the child grows into man he finds that n
dozen is very elastic term. A bakers
dozen is thirteen, and so is publishers or
news agents in many parts of the world.
In some sections a dozen of fish means
twenty-six, and there are other anomalies
of this kind. But to find a dozen indicat-
ing anything from two to fifty it is neces-
sary to go to the earthenware trade.
Here the size and weight of articles de-
eide how many make Il dozen, and in Jugs,
bowls, plates and so on there are two, four,
six, eight or more to the dozen \ do gen
composed of twelve articles is a very Tn
usual thing in the wholesale pottery tlsSe,
and as a result there are few clerk atrs
more difficult to hold than in this line. I
tried the work once and failed ignomir-
iOUsly. To have to find the cost of 500
articles at 50 much n dozen when that
dozen may mean anything is a very diff
cult task until man gets thoroughly used
to it. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1893-01-06

A GERMAN newspa per, the HeTzfelde
Z.itung, has it that M. Cleveland is The
possessor of 100000. 600. The wealth
came to him, we read, as an inheritance
from Pittsburg millionaire, who died
in 1865 and willed tina: his fortune should
go to the next democratic president of
the United States. The germ of this
extraordinary story. printed so far away,
is to be found in the fact that in 1876 an
Allegheny county Irishmsn, who had
never lived under democratic president,
bequeathed bis property under such con-
ditions, but when the executors had set
tied the estate they had no assets re-
naming for 'the next democratic pres
ident," so Mr.. Cleveland got nothing at
all.

Coating Iron with Copper.

A process has been introduced for pro-
tecting steel and iron by means of a coat
ing of copper. When the invention was
first made it was applied to the construc-
ton of elegraph wires, but since then
further developments of the process have
enabled it to be employed in the manufac-
ture of com plete ship plates. The method
employed is similar to that of the old silver
plating process, in which plates of the two
metals were rolled together without any
chemical or electrolytic means being en-
ployed.
A short copper ingot is cast on a core of
iron or steel; the copper is shorter than the
core, and not placed symmetrically, but so
disposed toward one end that the unequal
travel of the coating, when afterward ex-
tended by rolling, may be compensated
for. Save for the provision of special groov-
ing of the rollers to prevent the formation
of fins of the softer metal, the subsequent
operations are conducted in the ordinary
way. Advantage is taken Of the retention
OF heat by the steel core to diminish the
excessive durtility of the copper by chill
ing the covering. When the porosity of
the coat of copper and the difficulty in OBJ
tanning perfect adherence is overcome, the
process will become a commercial success
