Pains From The Grave.

About three weeks ago Ander-
son Pugh, a workman at Nc
Alester. Ukla.. had his leg ampu-
tated as the result of an accident.
The leg was wrappa1:, cloth
sexton of a local Cemetery. What
happened after that time is told
by Mr.. Burt in his own way and
affirmed by Mrs. Burt, who was
a witness to all that transpired.
"A few days ago" says Mr.
Burt, Anderson Pugh came 10
me and said, Burt, you have bur
led my leg in rampedposition,
leaving a crease in the bottom
of the foot, and it is giving me
so much pain that 1 want you to
take it up, straighten it out and
bury it again He described the
crease, telling just how il ran
across the bottom of the foot.
"Well, l went to the cemetery
the next day and dug up the limb,
and sure enough / found that
had buried it so that it was cramp-
ed, leaving a crease in the foot
as Mr., Pugh had described. |
Strengthened the member out,
wrapped it in new cloths and re-
placed 1t in the grave. MIR. Pugh
says that since that time he has
not suffered the slightest pain
from the missing leg"
Anderson Pugh, who lost the
leg, declares everything Sexton
Burt says is true. He had suffer
ed constant pain from the time
his leg was buried and the feeling
has always been with him that
the leg was stiff and cramped un-
til it had been unearthed and re-
inferred by the sexton, after which
all pain vanished.
Sexton Burt told of a similar
case which had come under his
observation in recent years, the
other being that of a Young man
who lost his arm in a railroad
accident. The arm had been
buried hurriedly with the hand
doubled, and the Young man suf-
fered such pain that he insistedup-
on the arm being disinterred.
This was done but such space
of time had elapsed that ii was
impossible to fully remedy the
fault and the young man suffer
ed more or less from the cramp-
ing sensation for several years.
the pain becoming SO pronoun-
ced at times that he would
awaken from sleep and spring
from his bed in agony. Medical
science records many similar
cases.

FIELD BEANS AS CASH CROP
Can BE Harvested, Stored and
Threshed out in Winter When
There Is Little Else TO Do.

The New Hampshire department of
agronomy has sent out leatiet call
ing attention to the possibility of add
ing field beans to the limited number
of cash crops of that state. The rea-
sons given are:
Beans work into the rotation as a
cultivated crop.
They are legumes, and therefore
do not exhaust the soil of its nitrogen.
They will always sell for cash.
They can be harvested, stored and.
threshed out to be sold in winter,
when there is little profitable work
to do on the farm.
While beans viii sometimes make a
crop ON pretty poor land, they will do
better on good land. Where an old
field is foul with witch grass. the sod
should be subdued and got rid of its
weeds before planting it to beans.
In a general way, beans will do well
on soils which are not quite rich
enough for good crop of corn. They
thrive well on sandy loans, loans
and clay loans. The straw is better
roughage than most hays. 1t is bet
ter than corn slower, but not quite as
good as clover hay. Those who throw
away bean straw or burn it are over
looking a good source of gains for
the live stock.

KEEP DAIRY HEIFER GROWING
First Year Of Animals Life Is Most
lmportant-Give Them Skim Milk
In Moderate Quantities.
(By R. NJ. wAsHBuRN.l


The first year of calfs life is the
most important with respect to its
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inheritance
would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk in moderate quantities
through much, or all, of the summer
following birth. On farms having
hand separators there is no difficulty
in providing the sweet milk for calves,
morning and evening, but farmers
who patronize whole-milk creameries
or who still skim by hand should re-
member that after the first few weeks
milk for calves should either be thor
oughly sweet or fully sour, that the
most dangerous condition is the half
sour stage. If milk is fed to calves
when it is in this changing condition,
it is almost certain to cause indi-
gestion. 1t should not be half sour,
nor sour one day and sweet the next,
but always one or the other.
Clean feeding pals must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the

CURE SEED CORN WITH CARE
IL Should Be Hung Up or Placed on
Racks in Such Way That Air
May Circulate Freely.

Extraordinary care will be needed
in curing seed corn this fall. Most of
the seed corn picked win contain
much moisture.
The more moisture the more serious
will be the danger from freezing;
consequently, seed corn should be
stored in dry ana sufficiently warm
place as soon as it is picked.
Moreover, It should be hung up or
placed on racks in such a way that
the air may circulate freely about ev-
cry ear.
II these simple directions are fol-
lowed, the corn will dry out rapidly,
and the corn will give the largest pos,
sible termination in the spring.

EXCLUDE AIR FROM THE sILo
Prevents Formation of Acetie Acid
Which Causes Feed to Sour
Cut In Short Lengths.

Packing the ensilage well improves
It. It is the air in the ensilage that
spoils it. and the more air in it the
more acetic acid is formed. This is
the acid that mahes it sour The less
air the less acetic acid and the more
Tactic acid, which is the most desira-
BILE. The tramping in compacting
the ensilage leaves less room for air
and so makes better ensilage.
Cutting the ensilage fine makes it
pack better. Half to three-quarter-
inch lengths are the most satisfactory.

VALUABLE HORSE HINTS
Repose Almost as Essential as
Good Feed and Water.
Colt Is Not Safe for Women, Children
or inexperienced Men to Handle
Study Conformation and
Breeding of Mares.

All horses, when turned out in pas.
ture, are more prone to take their rest
lying down than when confined in
stable stalls, says writer in Inland
Farmer. But even when practically
free from human restraint and obser-
Walton, or any likelihood of danger.
they seldom take more than an hour
each night in the recumbent position,
and that period is generally INDUCED
in about midnight.
A noted veterinarian says: There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in the matter of
lying down. To Woodworking horse
repose is almost as much of a neces-
sity as good food and water, but tired
as he may be, he is an animal very
shy about lying down have known
instances where stabIemen declared
that the horses in their charge had
never been known to take rest in that
manner, but always slept standing.
In purchasing general purpose
horse, which will be used when rail-
road electric cars and autos are to be
met, don't buy colt, because no
young horse is safe for women, chill
dren or inexperienced men to handle.
Don't buy until you have driven, or
have seen the horse driven, near
enough to these objects of terror to
be certain that he will pass them with
odt trying to smash up things. Better
