BURIED ALIVE

has penchant for being buried alive,
came near becoming corpse at Cincin
n I'll, o., on Saturday. After his first e1.
pose of the fake Hindo burials it was
claimed that in the case of the Hindoo
bur ais tie subjects lay perfectly still,
Stimulating death the whole time un-
derground. Lloyd, on the other hand,
talked and moved about in his coffin.
1t was claimed that he could not stay
IN the grave without being hypnotic d
or moving. He volunteered to try it,
and Thursday night was again lowered
into the grave at Hillside Park.
To prove that he would not move,
Lloyd allowed himself to he strapped
into the coffin. The grave was
filled with ten inches of water,
which had to be bailed out be-
fore the burial. After Lloyd's
burial the only sound which came from
he grave was an occasional cough,
caused by the dampness of the narrow
coffin. The earth caved in about his
grave Saturday and the water and mud
ran into his coffin.
After several hours of endurance, he
had to yell for help with might and
main, for the air tube got out of order,
and he was threatened with both
drowning and sufocstion. Lloyd was
q sight when taken from his coffin. He
was so weak that he could not stand,
and was shivering from the cold, wei
mud that covered him and his burial
robe from head to foot. After cleaning
the mud off himself and putting on come
dry clothes, he said he felt as though
he had "passed through the valley Of
| DEATH"
Notwithstanding his bad luck in be
ing flooded out on this occasion, Lloyd
will continue his queer experiment,
and says he can and will submit to be-
ing buried alive for weak at stretch.
VISION REVEALS HIDDEN WEALTH.
Orson N. Jane, Swede, has q small
farm in Lavaca county, south Of San
Antonio, Tex. A night or two ago he
had vision in his sleep, awoman ap-
peaiing to him with CHASTITY cut run
ming diagonally across from the left
shoulder to her right side. She asked
him what he was worrying about. He
replied that hard times and loss OF
money were making him anxious and
fearful OF making living for his iami
ly. She replied:
"You have plenty on your farm, and
no use worrying, and if you will begin
at the west corner of your field and
count off fifteen rows of cotton and
then go to another end of the row aud
step back thirty steps and dig you will
find enough to make you Independent" :"
In the morning he followed direc
tions and turned up furrow at the
point indicated when he found fifty
cent silver coin dated 1861. Dropping
everything, he took it to town and
showed it to various persons and Was
advised to continue his search. In
company with James Sterry he went
back and found 1915 more in silver,
and then the woman appeared and told
b nc to dig more 10 the southwest. He
aud Sterry, becoming alarmed, left the
place and did nothing more until the
next morning, when he unearthed
$4,000 in gold, all of San Francisco
mintage of the ifties.

FOR THE FARMER.
small Farms.

/ have always been an advocate
of comparatively small farms, be-
lieving them to be the ideal farms,
gays a writer in the Ncap England
Farmer, and | have found that a
great deal of produce can be grown
on small farm when managed
right. To illustrate, | have grown
the past season on fourteen square
rods of land, twelve bushels OF straw
berries, selling to the amount Of
$2975; besides using all we wanted
in family of four persons; some
were also given away. From five
rows of cabbages, fifteen rods long,
we had all we wanted to use, stored
some for Winter, sold to the amount
of $40 is, besides some waste and
small heads fed out. Nine rows OF
onions. fifteen rods long, produced
twenty three bushels of fine onions.
Oats yielded fifty bushels to the
acre. In 1895 they did a little bet
ter-sixty-one and one half to the
acre. Onions also did better that
year. From piece of ground 27x64
feet, / harvested forty three bushels.
Now who will say, in the face Of
such facts, that small farm cannot
be made to support a family in good
shape. Indeed, am certain that
il properly managed, very few
acres will support family well;
and if | WAS young man again, |
would purchase a piece land some
where, even if it were but two acres,
and build up hume thereon; then
ii mnre land WAS needed, add to it
afterwards as opportunity offered.
/ have great deal of faith in well
enriched and properly managed
soil like the term extensive
farn lg;;" and the more we apply
it IL our farming operations, the bet
ter it will be for US.

The Best Liquid Manure.

The best liquid manure is made
from home made guano, alias hen
droppings. Of course, you know
how to make u leach of ashes. The
same method will do. Take large
cask or a barrel, if that should be
Of sufficient size. Fill it with lot
Of coarse stable dung, layer say
six inches, press it down strong and
add layer of guano of equal thick
ness, then more coarse manure and
again hen dung until your cask is
full to about six or eight inches Of
the top. That will leave room for
u bucket ofrain water, which is hest;
prepare to catch the liquid which,
it very strong, may I've reduced with
water. After the mass has been
leached several times and the liquid
has lost color place what remains
in some convenient corner in the
garden and cover with sods. AS
yan proceed and have more dregs,
add more sods and next Spring you
will have earth well adapted to your
flower pots or garden.
If your liquid manure thus made
which IN well suited to all the
plants you mention-should run off,
you can make dibble and punch
four or six holes in the soil around
vonr plants and fiji these with the
liquid, and you will he able almost
to see your plants grow, certainly
every twenty-four hours. Wood
ashes may be added If on hand.

Poultry Notes.

The sitting hens prefer quiet,
secluded place.
Leghorns are the most prolific,
but they lay small eggs.
Clean sand will help to keep the
quarters clean.
Use only pure bred cocks to inn
prove the tlocks.
All growing poultry should be fed
early and late.
White fowls are more easily pre-
pared for market than dark ones.
Never use sulphur with grease to
drive away he lice.
Young ducks require more bulky
feed than chickens.
1t is almost impossible to have
healthy fowls if the quarters are
filthy.
Dr. not pluck the geese until the
goslings are all Matched and out of
the way.
For diarrhea in chickens give
them boiled milk in witch some
chalk has been stirred.
Generally the m1re active the
breed the less liable the fowls are to
fatten.
Lime and lice do not agree. II
the lime sticks, the lice will not.
Use lime whitewash freely.
Feed the turkeys literally with
grain at night rs an inducement for
them to come home.
Guineas may be Matched in July.
If hatched il the poultry-house
they will he more gentle.
Unless the nests in the poultry
house are kept clean and free from
lice, the hens will steal out their
nests.
There is no possible advantages
in keeping old fowls after the hatch
ing season is fully over.
An orchard that is at the same
time poultry yard will produce
more fruit and of better quality.
While soft feed is more easily d.
gested than whole grain, a chicken
fed exclusively upon it will shrink
more in dressing.

saxar Beet. and General agriculture

Sngar Eseets and General Agriculture.
The question naturally presents
itself to many rs to what effect in
community will sugar beet cul-
ture have upon the growing of other
crops? Will general agriculture be
abandoned where beet culture is
taken up? In report made by
Consul General Brewer, of Berlin,
occurs the following upon this point;
ut is an established fact that
notwithstanding the extensive cul-
tivation of sugar beets, no decrease
in the yield Of cereals has taken
place, but has, on the contrary,
augmented by double and treble
the amount in the districts where
the sugar beets are planted, and
that at those very places the pro
duction Of meat is steadily illcreas-
ing. The growth OF sugar beets re-
quires that the soil be titled to
greater depth. thus adding to the
thrift also of other plants to he cul-
livated later on the same soil Be-
sides, the remnants or waste left in
the manufacture of beet sugar fur
nishes not only All excellent food
for cattle, but also fertiizing stuff,
dispensing to considerable extent
with the use of artificial manure.
But the profit is also consider able
which this industry affords people
who work IN the sugar manufaclor-
ies, as they get employment through
ont the whole year, during the
Spring and Summer seasons in the
growing and cultivation ofthe beets,
and during the Fall and Win ter in
the manufactures.
The same has been found true, to
n limited extent in this country.
though the industry here is yet
much too young to have developed
many of the associated industries
found in connection with the beet
sugar production in Europe

A delicious and novel dish may
be made of the ordinary small white
beans such az are used for the fa-
nous Boston dish. Soak pint OF
beans in cold water over night. LII
the morning put them on the range
in enough slightly sailed water to
cover them, and let them boil stead
lily until they are broken to pieces
and not a whole bean remains.
They may simmer all day without
injury to them, care being taken to
renew the water as fast as it bOils
away. One hour before the meal
for which they are destined rub the
beans through colander; add to
the pulp thus formed a white sauce.
This is made by cooking together
tablespoonful of butter and one OF
-four, pouring large cup Of milk
over them. and stirring until thick
and smooth. Mix the bean pulp
thoroughly with this sauce, and
last Of all, add two we'll beaten eggs,
pepper and salt TO taste. Beat all
hard for minute, turn into but
tered pudding dish, sprinkle fine
bread crumbs over the top, and bake
in hot oven until lightly Drowned
Serve at once.

Death OF Mr.. Todd.

In the death Of Mr.. R. Willis Todd,
which occurred at ha home near this city
last Sunday night ct J. o'clock, Ander-
son County loses another old and worthy
citizen, one who was well known through
out this section, and who had the conll-
dence and good will Of every friend and
ACQUAINTANCE. lie had been in feeble
health for several months, but retained
his mental vigor almost up to the last mo-
mept of his life. He was afflicted with no
particular disease, and his death was caus-
ed from general weakness of his body.
Mr.. Todd was born and rearcd in An
derson County, and spent his life hero
He entered school at an early age and
closely pursued his studies until his young
manhood. when he was taken under the
care of the South Carolina Presbytery
with the purpose Of studying for the min
istry of the Presbyterian Church. But on
account of his delicate health he was forced
to abandon this noble calling, and he soon
engaged in the profession of teaching,
which he followed for nearly forty years.
At various times he was principal Of the
high schools at Williamson, Bolton and
Honea Path. and also taught successful
schools in other sections of the County.
He was known far and wide as most sue
cessful teacher, and his roll Of pupils was
always large. He welded q large influ.
ence and exercised it in the proper way.
and always possessed the confidence and
esteem of the students under his care.
In 1878 Mr.. Todd was elected School
Commissioner Of Anderson County, and
his position he held for six or eight years.
His long experience in educational affairs
peculiarly fitted him for the position, and
ne made most et1iciout official. After
MS retirement from this office he served
as Trial Justice in this city for number
Of years, and in this position he discharged
Ms duties most faithfully.
Mr.. Todd had reached the ripe old age
of 76 wears, and was q man who attended
strictly to his own business, and perhaps
had as fow enemies as any man who ever
lived in this section. In his boyhood he
Joined the Presbyterian Church, and
throughout his long life was most useful
and exemplary member. He always
carried his religion with him, Sunday or
Monday, at home or abroad, and was ever
ready to speak word for the Saviour,
whom he served 30 faithfully. He has
left his loved ones glorious heritage, for
q godly life Is far more precious than oil
the gold or honors the world can bestow.
In 1S45, Mr.. Todd married Miss Adelia
Hammond, who with four daughters and
two SONS survive him.
On Tuesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the
funeral services were conducted at the
home of the deceased by Rev. j. N. II.
siummerell after which the remains were
inferred in Silver Brook Cemetery, boing
followed to the grave BY surrounding friends
and relatives.
