Judge 15ellery was explaining how
pumpkins, squash, and other vegeta
bles of that ilk, might be fed artificial
ly and grow when severed from tho
parent stem, when Lee Morehouse
chipped In and saith "Yes, I knew of
a hired man who accidentally broke a
pet pumpkin from the vine once, and
In order to keep It alive he took it a
pan of milk every day which the
pumpkin absorbed through the broken
stem, and when the pumpkin was fi
nally cut open there were 40 pounds of
butter on the Inside." Es.
