aSunstroke.

The following roles should be
followed in the treatment of sun
stroke:
Flrst-On the occurrence of
-suustroke the patient should be at
once removed to some shady place,
where there is an abundant sup
ply OF cold water.
Second--All superluous cloth.
ing is to be removed aud the body
placed liz the recumbent posture
G I'D water is then to he freely
dlshed over the petient at height
OF from two TO three feet. Ice is
70 be rubbed over the body, espec

flesh air is to be. kept up by means
of constant tanning Water pings,
hydranis and garden hose are con
venien: adjunc,s in applying the

Cure for SMALLPOX and
Scarlet Fever.

We consider the following
recipe Of such value that w,
transfer it to our columns. 1t
is from the Stockton (Cal.)
Herald.
q herewith append ii receipt
which has been used, to my
knowledge, in hundreds of ca
ses. 1t will prevent or cure
the smallpox, though the pit
tings are filling. When Jcn-
ner discovered cow-pox in Eng
land, The world of science
hurled an avalanche OF fame
upon his head; but when the
most scientific school Of medi-
cine inthe world--that Of Paris
published this recipe as a pam
acca for smallpox il passed mn
needed. 1t is as unlailing as
fate, and conquers in every in
stance. 1t is harmless when Ia
ken by a we'll person. 1t will
also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the recipe as l have used it
and cured smallpox, when
learned physicians said the pa
tient must die: Sulphatc of
zinc, one grain; half a teaspoon
iul OF sugar; mix with two Ia
blcspooniuls Of water. WhcI
thoroughly mixed, add foul
ounces of water. Take tea
spoonful every hour. Either
disease will disappear in twelve
hours For a child, smaller do
ses, according to age. Ifcoun-
ties would compel their physi-
clan to use this there would bC
no need of pest-houses. IF you
value advice and experience
use thisfor that terrible disease.

MILKING by Machinery.

A writer in the New York |
Times says: The labor of milk
ing co~s is heavy, slow, and
liresomcy there is no redecming
feature in it at best. When the
COWS are troubled with sore or
cracked teats, or suffer from
caked uddcr, or are nervous or
irritable, as in hy-time, milking
is the most provocative labor to
be thought of, and he is pa
iient man who can then refrain
from Objectionable words and
acts. Having a young heifer,
less than two years old, whose
tcals were cracked and sore. !
was greatly troubled to milk
her without losing the pail Of
milk. By tying he hind legs,
and having one person TO hold
her steady, another managed to
get ihc milk. ] happened to
visit Mr.. William Crozier, of
Nol4hport, Long Island, very
widely known as one of our
best and most enterprisine
farmers and stock brceders, and
found him using a miIking-ma
chine, which consists Of fou
silver tubes, and these latter
gathered into one outlet. The
silver tubes are inserted into the
teats, the precaution being first
taken to start the milk, SO as 10
find the oriliccs, and the milk
then flows easily and rapidly so
long as any is in the udder. Pro
vided with such a machine sup
piled by Mr.. Crozier to expert
ment with, / proceeded the next
day to milk the nervous hcifer
with the sore teats. Nothing
could have been more success
full. The milking was perform
ed with the greatest case; no
kicking; no tired wrists; no
care TO prevent the pail from be-
ing overset, and not the slight
est trouble. The hcifer was Ger
tainly as much surprised and
pleased as the mixer was. The
machine was applied to another
COW with equal success. After
the milking but few drops
could be stripped by hand from
The teats. Mr.. Crozier has
MIXED over 30 COWS in this way
for several months without find
ing any difference in the yield
Of milk. The Prccaution may
be taken TO strip down the teats
after the milk is drawn to keep
them in good shape. w her
milking can be done only with
difficulty, this conuivance seems
to be an absolute necessity; I'M
der ordinary circumstances it is
a great help and great con
yenicRcc.
