Responsibility Of Employers.
While boy of l6 was at work up
on printing press in the press-room
of New York paper the press was
unexpectedly started: The boy
sprung hack from his dangerous po-
sition, and in 10 doing tipped over
the bench he WAS standing OH, caus-
ing him to fall against another press,
which caught his arm and injured it
80 as to make it forever useless He
sued the proprietor in the Superior
Court and obtained a verdict for 49,
900 damages. The defense was that
the accident was caused either by
the negligence Of the plaintiff or of "
fellow workman, for which the pro-
prietor was not responsible. In
charging the jury, Judge spoir said
that if tho plaintiff or a skilled fellow
workmen were negligent the plaintiff
could not recover damages; but that
if the agent of the defendent en-
ployed persons not skilled in their
work axd the accident occurred
through the negligence of one Of
such persons, tho defendant WAS re-
sponsible. An appeal was taken
on the grounds that Judge Speir
erred in thus charging, and in per.
mitting the plaintiff to exhibit his
mutilated arm to the view of the
jury, thus arousing their sympathy.

Cows that are fat at the time of
calving are more subject to congestion
of the udder than those in al poorer
state. Neglecting to give proper at.
tention to the milking is another
cause. Inflammation seldom ever at
tacks the whole of the udder, but is
confined to one or two quarters, and
is indicated by swelling, increased
heat, pain and redness, and by alter
alton in the milk. which is curdled,
whey.like and sometimes mixed with
blood. The general treatment is to
give a moderate purge-say Epson
Salts l pound; powder Jamaica ginger
IL ounce; water l pint; mix for one
dose. Drinking water should be
limited, and dry food given, so as not
to encourage the milk supply. The
milk should be frequently drawn
away in the usual way with the hand
or teat syphon.
The infiamed udder should be we'll
fomented with hops and water for at
least one hour night and morning,
and after each fermentation some of
the following liniment should be free

Coal-Tar for Fruit Trees.
A writer in the London Garden
uses coal-tar ON the stems Of fruit
trees without injury, and keeps off
hares and other depredators. He
rubs on this tar as thin as possible
with brush, or rather rubs it on
and then rubs it off again, leaving
only bright brown instead Of a black
appearance. He thinks this very
thin application important, and that
trees are killed by putting too much
on. 1t has proved quite effectual for
excluding hares. There are some i'm
portant points in the statement which
are omitted. He does not say what
kind of trees the tar was applied to,
peach trees being more easily killed
than apple trees. He does not give
their age, thick, hard bark being
loss injured than a young, green bark.
He does not say at what time of year
he made the application; il put on
carly in winter, to be followed by a
long, cold season, there would be less
danger than in hot weather, and less
in a cool than hot climate. For the
same purpose, Isaac Hicks statos in
The Gardecr's Monthly that he uses
petroleum with a little Paris green.
Petroleum has not hurt the trees, but
linseed-oil turned the bark black.
