One day, shortly after election, Mr..

POISONED BY PE1CX PITS.

A fatal case of poisoning by peach
stones, which is noted in the French
papers as having recently occurred in
Paris, should serve as a warning to
families in which children are allowed
to look after themselves for hours at a
time. Probably very few adults
themselves know low poisonous peach
stones are. The victim of til, recent
accident in Paris secreted the stones
ola number of peaches, and obtaining
a hammer, when left alone broke
them open industriously aud ate them
the result being that he was fatally
poisoned by hydrocyanic (prussic) ae-
i'd. Since the peach season is now
upon us, it is as we'll to explain what
quantity of poison the peach stone
possesses. Writers on toxicology state
that one ounce of The kernels contain
about one grain Of pure prusslc acid,
and this quantity, it is we'll known, is
sufficient to kill any person. Even
two thirds of a grain has often proved
fatal, and indeed may we'll be regard
ed as a fatal dose for any child.

FEEDING BAND WIRE WITH STBAW.
AS the use Of self binders, wire be-
ing used, are coming into use quite
generally, j. is we'll to move cautious
ly in the matter Of allowing cattle to
eat straw from which the wire has not
been removed, though the wire may
not prove fatal, as is shown by the
senior Mr.. Clalkson, in the Iowa
Estate Register"
'Self-binders, using wire, are COM
ing INTO general use, and stock raising
is of too much consequence to be jeop-
ardized by any injurious element. In
1868 and 1864 the grain on Melrose
farm was bound with wire using the
Burson binder. There was no effort
made to save the wire from the straw
when threshing. The cattle on the
farm were wlntered at the straw
stacks. At the time there was con-
siderable talk on this subject, and
consequently the result of such feed.
ing was watched with interest.
There could not be discovered out
wardly any deleterious effec S OF the
wire on grown cattle, COWS or younger
stock. All appeared to prosper and
were healthy. This would appear to
be nearly conclusive evidence that
there was no danger from such wire.
But in the fall of 1864 we slaugh
tered steer Tor beef, and made close
observations as to The effect of the
wire. The steer had not eaten any Of
the straw in which there was wire for
scven months. There was in the stom-
ach (somtimes called manifold) at
least 100 pieces of the wire of from
half an inch to an inch long, sticking
in the honey comb lining Of the first
stomach. They were fast and immov-
able by any operation Of nature, and
would evidently have remained there
as long as the animal lived. There
were in the second and less in the
third stomachs but none could be
found in the smaller intestines. And
while the presence Of these wires
threatened serious difficulty, yet there
was not the least inflammation, matter
ing, or ossifcation around the wires.
The next year CATER they had been
feeding two winters on the same) we
slaughtered again, and found the wire
in the manifold. Again in the fall of
of 1866, we killed dry COW, which
had no chance to eating wire for
twenty months, but the pieces were
found plertifully. And yet during
all this time, and ever since, our stock
has been healthy and grew finely un.
der the care administered at Melrose
farm. And there are two COWS at
least now on the farm, doing their du-
ty, who fed on straw and wire twelve
years ago.
And yet with this evidence before
ua Of the innocent effect but we would
in threshing remove the wire from
the straw. A band cutter can easily
throw out the wire. A pair Of shears
is best for cutting wire on bundles,
and it is but little trouble to catch the
wire in the left hand and pull it out
as it is CUT Western Form Journal.
