The body Of Amos Anderson,
a prominent citizen Of Monon-
gala county, this State, whicn
was recently diainterred, was
found to have turned to stone.
1t is supposed that some kind OF
mineral water penetrated the
casket after his burial and caused
the transformation.
Last winter Mr.. Anderson
died of pneumonia and was
buried in the Bethel cemetery.
AT the time of the burial there
was a deep snow and landmarks
had been covered up.-W When
the snow melted away it was
found that the grave was placed
by mistake in q driveway and
this necessitated the removal of
the body to plot owned by
relatives of the deceased. When
this was done it was discovered
that the casket was very heavy,
and it was opened. The features
were as in life, and on touching
one of the hands it was found to
be hard and smooth.

Cost Of Butter and Beef.

"Can a pound of butter be pro-
dueed on the same feed or at the
the same cost as a pound Of
beef"
This question is not easy to
answer. I have watched with a
great deal of amusement and
some instruction the attempts
made by private persons and by
experiment stations to estimate
the cost of pound of butter or
of pound of beef. The farmer
who produces either has to pay
all costs, as well of keeping the
COW up to the time of the birth
of the calf which grows into an
animal producing beef, or the
cost of keeping the cow up to
the time when she begins her
milking period, in which the cost
of the pound of butter is estimat-
ed as of the cost of the feed con-
sumed. The problem is there
fore very complex, and I do NOT
propose to go into a full discus
sion of it here. 1t is enough to
say that in most parts of the
Union a pound of butter cannot
be produced on the same feed or
at the same cost as a pounds of
beef. 1t is possible to, indeed
some practictl feeders claim that
they can, produce pound of dry
matter in butter at a cost no
greater than a pound of dry mat
ter in beef, but even this may.
well be doubted. A pound of
dry matter of milk, including the
butter-fat, the sugar and the al
bumen, cannot be produced at a
cost much less than the cost of a
pound of dry matter in beef; but
that is not the question here pre-
Ny answer is that q
pound of beef can be produced
much more cheaply than a pound
of butter under ordinary and
average conditions. When an
extraordinary producer of butter
is compared with an extraordi-
nary producer of beef, the condi-
tions might be different. Indeed,
there are SO many s'ifs' and
lands" in the way that careful
man hesitates to answer the
question at all, because his an
swer is bound to be polemic
rather than certain or fnal.-C.

The patent office is one of the
few bureaus of the government
that pays its way and adds to the
government revenue Since 1887
it he's been turning into the treas
ury of the United states large sums
of money the amount this ycar ap.
proximating 100000. This it
will be understood is a surplus
after all the expenses of the de-
partmant were paid. It is stated
in the patent Office that the year
1904 exceeded all others in the
nunb Der Of patents issued. More
than 81, 600 were issued in 1908
but the fgvres for 1904 are in ex-
cess of $4,000. This gives some
idea of the mechanical progress of
the United States.
