vomit or actual vomiting occurs imme-
diately after the accident. especially if
1t tool plee> soon after a hearty meal.
DIR. Grant relates the case of q street
sword-swallower who forced a long
round-headed sword down his throat,
when he suddenly sprang into the air
and fell in a state of collapse. He was
carried to the University Hospital,
when it was found the sword had OBJ
liquely penetrated the throat and base
OF the heart. In March, 1862, a copper
penny was removed from the esopha-
gus of a boy, where it had been for
three months. There was no ulcera-
tlon, and the boy recovered.
But what the public want to know
is what are the chances and how safe is
1t to swallow foreign bodies and re-
cover. Hence, a few statistics are per-
mlssible. OF 159 cases in which spon-
taneous eJect;on took place, only eight
died. Inversion of the body was only
successful in five; six died.
VI 6S cases the operation of trache-
otomy saved 60. Of IL upon whom
laryngotomy was performed only 4
died. Thus. in SO cases where the
wind-pipe was opened 80 were success
full and Is fatal. or at the ratio of 5 1-2
to l. OF 554 cases of foreign bodies in
the ar passages, of 271 where no OPP
GRAFTON was performed, 115, or 42.5 per
cent, died.
Spontaneous election took place in
1854 and Is died; 95 persisted without
ejecting the body, 5 recovered after
taking emetics. In 283 cases opera
tons were performed and 81 died. 1t
would appear that an operation is.
therefore, advisable. Seventeen per
cent. more recover where surgery is re-
sorted to than where treatment is
withheld. Nearly seventy-tive per
cent. recovered in cases where opera
lions were performed.
The moral, therefore. is keep your
mouth shut, spank babies when they
crawl round the floor and swallow
tacks, and IN no account allow them
to sleep with their mouths open, as
they will surely grow up to snore.
Mechanics should keep theirs shut,
as there are thousands of impurities
atloat in the shops which enter their
lungs and produce ill-health; painters
would be freer from collie and not in
hale SO much white lead.-CSmcinnati

CURING GREEN GRASS.
An Experiment. Which Has tho Flavor q
Authority.

An Experiment. Which Has the Flavor of
Authority.
DIR. Voelcker cut green clover car
ried it at once from the field, and stored
it in a barn NOW in alternate LAYERS
with dry straw. The mass soon began
to ferment and heat and give out moist
ure, which was absorbed by the straw.
The fermentation soon spread to the
straw, which became moist and mod
erately hot, and thus underwent a sort
of cooking or steaming under consider
able pressure. The whole mass thus
PASSED through much the same process
as the green fodder does in a silo. but
not so far as to produce any alcoholic
or acetic fermentation, or to lose any
of its valuable properties for feeding.
1t did not heat sufficiently to change
the color of the clover, which gradually
dried. retaining it's fresh odor and
greenness and all its native sweetness
and nutriment. The effect really was
to increase the d~igest1bility of the clover
to a small extent, and thus make it
more valuable for feeding, while the
d~igestibility of the straw was consider
ably increased. and it was made far
more palatable by reason of it's alb
sorption of the odor and flavor of the
clover.
The mixed fodder was cut and fed to
COWS and fattening oxen with the usual
rations of meal. The results were
that the COWS gave an increased yield
of milk which was improved in quail
ity, and the cattle gained in flesh and
fat to a greater extent than when fed
upon the common hay alone. The
tables of analyses of the mixed fodder
showed that the indigestible mater
was reduced in quantity, while the
sugar and the other d 'gestible nutrients
increased in amount much more than
was sufficient to pay for the labor of
ever, was very little. as nothing more
from n NOW to another and spread it
over the green clover, and this labor
was much less than would have been
required to spread and dry the clover
in the field. There was in fact a con-
siderable saving of labor in the process.
as will be evident to every practical
reader. just now this is a timely SUBJ
ject. The clover and grass are ready
for cutting, and all the risks of the
hay field are to be met. The meadows
are yielding a heavy crop. The sub
ject of ensilage is evoking much
thought and study. Here is a method
OF ensilage which is perfectly free from
risk or apprehension. and no silo is re-
CURED. The grass o. clover may even
be stacked in al open barrack with the
straw as we'll as n a barn. 1t is GER
tainly an opportunity for farmers to
try an experiment which may lead to a
valuable use OF their straw and largely
add to the r stock of fodder, of which
none ever has too much.-M y. Times. |

exultation over her magnificent power.
Against her the Storm King may hurl his
elemental forces, nor pierce her armor, nor

But let me describe a scene when. one
morning in mid-ocean, there came an
alarm from the pilot house followed bv a
cry: 1.-The ships rudder is lost!" From
the confident expression, CONSERVATION
came to every face. The wheelman being
helpless to direct her course, the vessel
was at the mercy Of wind and wave.
The captain had been negligent-the
hangings Of the rudder were allowed to
wear weak. and suddenly it had dropped
doep into the seal
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in
u~ndaunted, gigantic tasks and commands
applause for his magnificent achievements.
But, all unexpectedly, an alarm comes
the rudder Of his constitution is gone. He
has been careless OF its preservation: men.
ia! strain, nervous excitement, irregular
habits, over-work, have destroyed the ac-
ton of his kidneys and liver. This would
not occur were Warmers safe cure used to
