Cold Tha, Burns.

Burning is usually associated with
heat, and it seems amisnomer TO speak
of cold burns. Chemists tell us that
there is really no such thing as cold,
which is relative heat, and that the
lowest temperature yet registered is
some degrees above absolute cold.
At the last meeting of the Swiss So
ciety of Natural Sciences at Lausanne,
NJ. Raoul Pictet gave some particulars
concerning cold burns experienced by
himself and assistants during his in
vestigations of the lowest temperature
attainable. There are two degrees OF
burns. In one case the skin reddens
at first and turns blue the following
day, and subsequently the area of the
spot expands until it becomes nearly
double its original dimensions. The
"burn," which is usually not healed
until FIVE or six weeks after its occur
feice,S is accompanied by very pain
full itching on the affected spot and
the surrounding tissues. When the
burning is more serious, produced by
longer contact with the cold body, a
burning of the second degree is ex-
perienced. In this case the skin is
rapidly detached, and all parts reached
by the cold behave like foreign bod
les. A long and stubborn suppura-
tion sets in, which does not seem to
accelerate the reconstitution of the
tissues. The wounds are malignant,
and scar very slowly in manner en-
tirely different from burns produced
by fire.
On one occasion, when M. Piotet
was suffering from severe burn due
to drop of liquid air, he accidental
ly scorched the same hand very Sc
riously. The scorched portion wai
healed in ten or twelve days, but the
wound produced by the cold burn was
open for upward of six months. In
order to try the effect of radiation il
dry cold air, M. Pictet held his bare
arm up to the elbow in a refrigerat
ing vessel maintained at 105 degrees
when sensation of q peculiarly dis
tlnct character was felt over the whole
skin and throughout the muscles. Al
first this sensation was not very disa
greeable, but gradually it became de
cidedly SO, and after three or foul
minutes the skin turned blue and tht
pain become more intense and deer
seated. On Withdrawing the arm from
the refrigerator at the end OF tel
minutes strong reaction was exper
fenced, accompanied by a superficis

SLOW OR FAST DRYING.

1t makes great difference in the
value of corn fodder whether it is cut
during warm, dry weather, when it
will cure rapidly, or later, when rains
and cold make it dry ont more slowly.
All the time it is moist some waste is
going on in the nutritive value of the
stalk. When the drying is hastened
the waste is small; when it is pro
tracted by rains, especially with warm
weather, the waste is much greater.
It is not stopped entirely by cold
weather. As the moisture freezes out
of the stalks it is found that the woody
fibre is increased and the nutritive
value has decreased in like proportion.
Every farmer knows that cornstalks
after repeated freezing and thawing
become of little value for feeding.
They are dry, tasteless, and the stock
will not eat them readily, as they do
the partly-dried stalk at the begin
ming of winter. Much is said about
the waste of nutrition by fermentation
in the silo. There is such waste, but
it is trivial compared with the waste
of cornstalks by slow drying. The silo
makes the nutrition more available by
partly cooking the food Boston

For years the English and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
pms, and IL is only within the last
twenty years that the goods have been
produced in this country TO amy ex-
tent. The machinery used is of a deli
cate and intricate character, as the
prices at which the pins are sold
necessitate the cheapest and most
rapid process, which can only be pro-
cured by automatic machines.
The wire is made expressly for the
purpose and put up in large coils,
which are placed in a clamp, which
carries it to the machine while
Strengthening it. From there it runs
into another machine, which cuts,
bends, and by a delicate and instan-
taneous process sharpens the points,

Making Matches Of Paper.

Matches made from paper are
novelties, but Brunswick, Ga, has a
factory in full operation that is daily
turning out numbers of them.
At present the factory is conducted
on limited plan, and was commenced
merely as an experiment to see what
demand could be created for the new
product, but the success that has
greeted the experiment iustifies its
continuance on large scale, and it is
expected that paper matches will soon
be turned out in mammoth proper
tions.
Rosends Torras is the owner of the
new factory, and Senior Antonio Prat
is manager, Mr.. Torras being coun-
sci for q number of foreign countries,
a large lumber exporter, and direc-
tor in the National bank, is sufficient
guarantee that the backing of the
concern is not limited, and if the sue
cess with which the industry started
is continued, it will not lack for capi-
tai to push it.-Atlanta Journal.

Corn 25s Bushels to the Acre.

The largest crop of corn ever pro-
duced on one acre, according TO tho
Charleston News and Courier, was that
raised by farmer in Marlboro
County, South Carolina, in 1892. \.
prize of $1,000 was offered for the
largest yield on an acre, and this
farmer chose a piece of wornout piney
woods, sandy land, to which he APP
piled more than thousand dollars
worth of fertilizers. The season was
favorable and the cultivator was kept
going almost constantly. The stand
became so thick and heavily burdened
with ears that fences had to be built
to sustain it. When the crop was
gathered it measured within peck OF
255 bushels, and carried off the prize,
which the farmer richly deserved, for
it takes valiant man to spend more
than thousand dollars to enrich
single acre.

Gold Cures.

Many bad colds come from bad di-
gestion. When the stomach is out of
order the body is liable to catch any
thing that is epidemic. Cold cures
and complexion remedies are twins in
therapeutics. One old prescription
still holds good: Get into bed and
stay there twenty-four hours; eat and
drink nothing, not even water; the
next day take an alcohol bath and rub
every part of the body red with a
coarse towel; swallow n mild laxative
and drink bowl of hot milk or thin
Cruel. This will cure a bad cold and a
bad face, if the patient takes no more
food for the day than is absolutely
necessary. Home and Farm.

Ono feature of intemperance for which
women are wholly responsible is their social
drinking together and woman's drunken
ness. During the past few years beer drink.
ing has increased to such an extent among
the women of respectable circles in our large
cities that the question Of doing away with
the habit has become very serious one. In
many cities saloons have a side entrance for
women and while the women of America do
not drink so universally as the women OF tho
old world, the habit Of drink is frightiully
on the increase, and the social customs of
society are in many ways fostering it. Early

CREAM THAT WILL NOT MAKE BUTTER.

It is often the case that the cream
Of the milk of COW due to calve in
two or three months will not make
butter, but foams in the churn and
rapidly becomes very sour. The milk
of COW undergoes q change about
this time, and some COWS are so af-
fected that the cream will not yield
any butter. Every COW should be
dried off, if the milk does not stop
naturally, two months before the calf
is due. AT any rate, good butter can
not be made from the milk so near
calving. This condition of the milk,
of course, is at once evident in a sin

in herds in the same condition, but
are not detected 1t shows how need
full it is that strict watch should be
kept on each of the COWS in herd. -

journey once week is likely to be
productive of more mischief than the
same distance every day. A horse put
to hard work at intervals cannot be
kept in condition. Horses ought to
be fed late at night and early in the
morning; they should have at least
two hours to consume and digest the
morning feed before being taken out
to work, and if not returned to the
stable when the next feed is due,
should be provided with nose bags.
Changes of food should be intro
duced gradually. Horses may be fed
with impunity on what will make them

make the change gradually. Thus.
green food, when it first comes in,
and is young and succalent, often
causes gripes, because fed too largely
to the exclusion of the accustomed
dry material. If small quantity is
cut with the hay chaff to begin with,
the horse is less greedy about it when
a larger quantity is allowed, and the
digestive organs as gradually become
accustomed to tho change. Attention
to the prevention of collie is much bet

FEEDING APPLES TO COWS.

Yhere has long been practical
opinion among farmers that while
sweet apples might be fed to COWS
with satisfactory results, sour apples
were very injurious for them; but
this opinion has been founded upon
very slight actual knowledge Of the
real feeding value of apples. At the
Vermont station apple pomace, en-
silaged, and used supplementary to
and in part as a substitute for corn
ensilage, was found to be relished by
COWS, and the results of four tests
found 1t to be about equivalent in
feeding value to corn ensilsge. At the
Massachusetts, station DIR. Goessmann
found apples TO contain about eighty
per cent. of moisture, the apples hay-

farther advanced apples are towards
maturity the more sugar is found in
them, and their value depends largely
upon the amount of dry matter which
they contain. Laboratory tests show
that the feeding value ofapples is some.

that the pomace is richer in nitrogen
