THE GRAVE WAS OCCUPIED.
A sorious Accident which Occurred 9
Tuetin

A Serious Accident which Occurred ~
Tustin.
A Pomona lady, who has been over in
Orange county for several weeks, telH
us OF an amusing circumstance in thai
locality last week. The lady attended
the funeral off person whose body was
brought from San Francisco. The ser.
vices were held at Tustin, and the re-
mains were conveyed three miles in the
country to lonely graveyard, where tha
grave had been dug the day before.
The funeral cortege proceeded to thq
scene OF burial, the casket was removed
from the hearse and placed in a rough
box, and the bearers carried the whole
to the open grave, while the pastor and
sorrowing relatives and friends gathered
about. When the open grave was
reached imagine the astonishment Of
the bearers and others to find the body
of a man lying on his face and at full
length in the bottom of the excavation.
For few minutes no one knew what to
do. Not word was spoken and the
people looked to one another in express
sion of blank surprise.
Finally the rough box and the casket
were set down, and one of the more en-
ergetic bearers got into the grave to in-
vestigate. He found that the man there
was not dead, but very stupid. The
sleeper was rolled over, and half.filled
whiskey bottle in his pocket told the
story. The grave straps were put under
the strange mans arms, and he was
pulled out OF the grave. Then the relig-
ious burial exercises went on. The box
and casket were lowered into the earth
and the grave filed.
1t was subsequently found that the
man in the grave was drunken tramp,
who, not knowing where he was or what
he was doing, had gone into the grave
yard to rest, and had got into the grave
to keep warm. He found it such a COM
Portable place for slumber that he had
not awakened when the funeral proces-
sion approached.

Sunday last lady American, and her

At the Soldiers Home it ia nearly of

How a Fresno Husband Treated Faith

How q Fresno Husband Treated n Faith
less wife.
Ed Beavers, says the Fresno Exposi-
tor, the young man who ran away from
Raymond with the wife of Scott Bur-
ford, is about to wake up to realiza-
ton of the fact that If he doesn't sup
port the woman he led astray his hide
is apt to be made a suitable crate for
hazel brush.
Mr.. Burford was in Fresno last night.
and left orders to that effect.
The way it was brought was il.
lows:
For long time past Scott Burford of
Raymond lived quietly with his wife
and children. But in course OF time, q
young man named Ed Beavers came
into that country and proceeded upon a
conquest, and the outcome was that
Mrs. Burford eloped with him, leaving
her husband and children.
The husband acted the part OF a sensi-
BILE man, although some men would not
have observed the moderation that he
did. He allowed his wife to go with
the scoundrel who coaxed her away.
Beavers and Mrs. Buford made their
home at Mendoza. But few days ago
spirit OF repentance came over her and
she ran away from Beavers and returned
to her huspand at Raymond, in hope
that he would forgive and forget.
He did not do either one. He har-
messed up his team, put his sinful wife
In the buggy and yesterday drove with
her to Fresno and left her at one of the
hotels, paid her board week in adj
vance, and sent word to Ed Beavers in
substance as follows:
Take care OF Mrs. Burford. She ran
away from me, and don't want her.
AS long rs you support her and care for
her 1t will be all right. But if you don't
support her, I'll be d-d If 1 don't make
business about as lively for you as ever
you saw it in this world"

The Irrigation ousstinn.

A San Diego publication OF literary
pretentions argues in favor of state divi-
sion, but the nature of the alleged argu-
ments used can be inferred from a single
proposition that is advanced. 1t is
urged thet "the laws of irrigation. of
navigation, of forestry, of tish and game,
and many other of the general laws of
the state apply solely to the north and
are not applicable at all to the south.
he irrigation laws which apply even to
Los Angeles do not apply to San Diego. "
Inasmuch as the Wright irriga-
ton law was originated by
Northern California man and
passed the legislature by Northern Cali
fornia votes, while San Diego county
has more districts organized under that
law than any other county in the state,
it is not exactly apparent that there is
any force in this contention. As a mat
ter of cold fact the laws concerning irri-
CATION. navigation, forestry, fab and
game and other general subjects are just
as applicable to one part OF the state as
the other. The state-divisionists should
at least endeavor to select some tenable
ground upon which to found their de-
mands. San Francisco Chronicle, May

GOOD stable manure has the reputa-

The Concord grape, to name no

The habit of picking apples in sacks
is not nearly SO meritorious as some

to be bruised in handling the sack than
it is if picked in a smooth, round
measure.

COLUMBIAN DAIRY TEST.
It Has Proved That the Butter Cow IL

It Has Proved That the Butter Cow 10
ALSO the Cheese Cow.
An old time notion still prevails to
some extent that some cows are better
for cheese and some for butter. For
several years, however, dairy author
tiles have taught that the best butter
COW is also the best cheese COW. This
fact has been recently proved conclu-
sively by the dairy tests a the Column
bian exposition. The reason is that
by modern methods of cheese-making
there is no loss of milk-fat, it is all (but
small fraction) saved and carried into
the cheese The greater the proper
ton of fat in the milk land then in the
cheese) the less milk necessary to make
a pound of cheese and the better the
quality of the latter.
This subject is admirably illustrated
by a contribution from the Wisconsin
Dairy school at Madison, sent by Prof
Henry to the joint exhibit of the agri-
cultural colleges aud experimental sta
tons at the exposition. The dairy
students took six lots of milk, each
weighing three hundred pounds, and
varying in the percentage of fat con-
tanned, and made a cheese from each
lot These six cheeses were exhibited
side by side with striking and conclu-
sive effect. Turned on edge. they
looked something like this:

WINTERING THE CALF.
Change Feed Gradually and Protect from
Bad Weather.

Change Feed Gradually and Protect from
Bad Weather.
The first year of calls life deter
mines, to great degree, its value as an
animal for profit. If it is permitted to
run with the cows, steers and older cat
tie, where it will be jostled about and
made to stand back from the feed until
such time as it can get to take up the
refuse left after the stronger have their
choice, an Improbable, stunted calf
will be the result The calf must have
its own shed. its own feed lot, its own
ration of grain, and its own rack of hay;
when supplied in this way with proper
amount of food of good quality, it will
grow through every month of the year
and yield a profit to Its owner.
As the calf grows the feed must be
gradually increased. The Importance
of a change of feed at this time must
not be overlooked. Give little oats
and barley occasionally. Shelled corn
is a good feed for the calf, as is also
corn meal, bran and shorts; but do not
give one variety of grain food contin-
uously. Give a change occasionally.
The sooner the calf can be grown up to
cow or steer size the more profit there
Il in the business. Give the calf .

Drowned ON Land.


Strange as it seems, a fish may suffer
death by drowning. When a stream is
suddenly swollen with water that has
fallen upon and drained from surround
ing soil which has been exposed for
some time previously to the suns rays
the water is warmed and deprived of
its power of holding proper compile
ment of oxygen, the vivifying gas in
consequence escapes, and the fish. de-
prived of the aids necessary for respira-
ton, faint and die, as they would 1t
placed in tepid water. A fish. like q
man, requires perpetual supply OF
oxygen to his breathing apparatus A
fish gets its oxygen from the water. .
man from the atmosphere around him.
Reverse the position of the two and the
in the open air, while man is
drowned in the water. A fish taken
out of water dies from drowning, be-
cause the little blood-containing fla
ments which comprise the gills become
stuck together and of course can not
act SO as to oxygenate the blood. Fish
ermen sometimes drown fish in the
water. Immediately a fish is hooked
he begins rushing about in state OF
alarm and thus every minute takes
more and more out of himself till at
last he begins to get tired and to flag.
The fisherman gently pulls the fish's
head to the surface of the stream, be-
tween wind and water. The creature
grows more and more faint as its head
is elevated out of the water, its gills
stick together and at last he becomes
an easy prey. Sea fishermen are very
familiar with this Wav-
erly Magazine.
