Lightning Stroke.

The possibilities Of lightning stroke are
admirably summed up by DR.. J. l.. Sulli.
van, Of Maiden, IN paper before the
MedicoLegal society, in these words
Lightning may heal as well as harm; II
may abolish sight, hearing and the power
OF voluntary motion, or IL may restore the
lost senses and cure paralysis II may
strip the body naked and consume the
clothing, while the wearer escapes un.
hurt, or it may consume the individual
and leave his garments untouched. One
person who is fatally struck may be
hurled violently to distance, while su
other Is left in the precise attitude and
spot in which death surprised him. One
case may present extensive anatomical
changes, such as amputation of limbs,
rupture Of the heart, fracture Of the bones,
while in another case no injury will be de
tected.
"One autopsy will reveal softening of
Oony structures, collapse Of the lungs.
etc, while another will present precisely
opposite conditions. One thunder stricken
corpse may undergo rapid putrefaction
while another will remain for davs un
changed. There may be sudden burning
OF the body, or it may be consumed slowly,
as II by spontaneous combustion, and only
gradually be reduced to ashes. Lastly. the
immediate disappearance of the stricken
person may occur without leaving "A trace
OF his body or any Of its parts, thus sum.
marily relieving the medical examiner of
further responsibility"

A SIMPLE WAY
To Pasteurize Milk for Those Who De-
sire 1t for Family Use.

~ aHteurlLe hllk lOr InOse VINO De-
sire 1t for Family Use.
A simple method Of pasteurizing milk
for those who desire it for family use is
as follows: The milk should be placed
in clean bottle, which is put inside any
convenient metal vessel, into which cold
water should be poured until it reaches
the level Of the milk in the bottle. The
mouth OF the bottle should be closed
with plug OF clean white cotton. 1t
will be found more convenient in prac-
tice to raise the bottle containing the
milk about half an inch from the bottom
OF the outer vessel by any convenient
means, as this facilitates the circulation
OF the hot water rour d the bottle. The
outer vessel should then be placed on a
stove and slowly heated until the tenn
perature OF the water reaches 155 degrees
Fahrenheit. The vessel should then be
taken from the fire and covered closely
with a piece OF woolen cloth. 1t should
remain covered half an hour, at the ex-
piration OF which time the bottle should
be taken out and put in a cool place,
@''N AA4AAN AAos bS uGth at ANY lllllt
twenty-four hours. The cotton. however,
should not be removed, as it prevents
the entrance Of dust or germs OF anv
kind. The explanation OF the process is
very simple. A temperature OF $50 de-
grees maintained for half an hour is suf.
ticient to destroy any germs likely to be
present in milk, and by raising the tenn
perature OF the outer water five degrees
IN excess and then allowing the milk to
stand in the heated water for half an
hour the proper temperature is insured
for the required period of time. II the
temperature is allowed to rise above l55
degrees, the taste and quality Of the
milk are affected, though not TO the
same extent as il it were boiled. Where
quantity OF pasteurized milk is re-
9uired, several bottles may be placed in
the same vessel, all being filled to the
same height with the milk.

In lS49 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte wrote of
Thackeray; TO me the broad brow seems

the nose and cheek betray the satirist and
the cynic; the mouth indicates u childlike

but u weakness not unamiable." And Mr..
Motley, writing to his wife in 1855. sli,

PRACTICAL POULTERER
New Blood Must be Infused
Into the Flocks.
THE EFFECT OF INBREEDING.

While Inbreeding Has Its Purposes II
Certainly Cannot be Recommended
TO the Practical Poultry Rsiser-ln-
teresting Agricultural Matter.
II We would keep up the vigor and fe-
cundity of our flocks OF poultry, We must
infuse new blood into them. Inbreeding
is very good for every one to limited
extent, but inbreeding is more for the
fancier than for the practical poulterer.
Inbreeding produces fine exhibition
birds, where feathers, size and shape are
nearly all alike-almost perfect from the
judges point Of view. AS a rule these
true-to-a-feather birds show wonderful
amount of stupidity and lack Of vitality
at the exhibitions. They are generally
slow TO move, slow to lay and slow to
develop. While inbreeding has its pur-
poses it certainly cannot be recommend
ed to the practical poultry raiser. we
need inbred fowls to be crossed with
other birds. In other words, new blood
must be constantly introduced into the
flock if the profit is to be gained thereby.
The fowls that we want for our use must
show activity, strength and vitality;
Every move OF their body, legs and head
should indicate alertness, power and
quickness. How different from the stu
pid, inactive birds of the exhibitions
that have been inbred to death. There
is probably point beyond which even
the fancier would not care to go in close
inbreeding. His own focks would then
deteriorate SO in size, quality and anima-
ton that he would gain nothing by it.
But as general rule the average fancier
inbreeds too close to make the birds OF
use m the practical porlterer, except as
a strain to introduce among the more
practical birds OF the farmyard. In or
der to have plenty OF fresh eggs fresh
blood should be introduced into the
flocks every year. Get as good blood as
possible to introduce, but even mon
grel bird will help the high-bred birds
better than none at all. In fact, some
times the mongrel bird will bring points
of hardness and endurance into the
fiocks that cannot be obtained from
those that have been so carefully reared
for generations past. The rooster should
be obtained from good stock, and very
often of a different breed from the hens;
and il a new one is obtained each season,
enough fresh blood will be brought into
the flock to make the standard of the
birds high. There is little chance of
deterioration, and more eggs will be OBJ
tanned than from flock that has been
closely inbred for years. The very ac-
tions OF the birds will tell whether fresh
blood is needed. If the roosters show
attention to the hens, courting them in
every way possible and giving them the
choice bits, it is safe to say they have
sufficient vigor and vitality. But if the
rooster is dullard and laggard, not fol-
lowing in the chase after insects and
worms, and the hens are quiet and dis
inclined to exercise much, it is about
time to seek new blood.

Not gentleman farmer in England
