Dasilisks and Dragons.

One of the peculiarities of the ancient
writers on natural history subjects was
the implicit faith which they placed in
the commences of the various baslisk
and dragon stories which were told to
them. Brunette, for IN instance to tho
point, relates with all soberness that
the basilisk is tho king Of serpents.
Ito wears u white crest upon his head,
and such is the abundance of his venom
that the air is poisoned wherever this
dire reptile passes. Trees in which he

The opinion has, prevailed among
scientists that tho viper which resists

contains the same poisonous qualities as

the conclusion. But it has been discov.

!
Of tuberculosis, stated his belief that
999 human beings out Of every 1000
that became affected by tuberculosis
are infected from tuberculosis human
beings. The hubbub raised about the
danger resulting from tuberculosis
milk is largely bosh. So long as the
country is filed with consumptive peo-
pie expectorating tubercle germs
everywhere it seems hardly worth
while to spend any great sums
OF money to prevent the possibili-
ty OF spreading the disease through
dairy products. The chance of be-
coming affected in this way is al
most infnitesimal as compared with
the liability resulting from constant as
soclation with tuberculous people.
Calves, fed exclusively on milk, even
in herds known to be seriously affect
ed, rarely contract the disease until
they are shut up in the stable with tu-
berculous animals. Nearly always, ap-
parently, the disease is contracted
through the lungs and not through the
stomach .
The Farmers Review regards the
above as poor logic. In the first place,
II it were true that the danger is small,
there would yet be no reason why It
The Princeton union., 1897-02-18

should be ignored We, however, fail
to see that the danger is small. A tu-
berculous animal is, If affected in the
lungs, constantly throwing off con-
sumptive spores. These at first are
moist and do not blow about, but in
time they get dry and become part
of the dust, rising often from the barn
floor and seeking the lungs of the ami
mails and of the workers about the
barns. The same is true Of the pastures
where the cows summer. The germs
become dry and are blown about by
every breeze. They can not only get
into the lungs of the animals, but OF
workers in the fields, and even of the
people passing along the roads. In
thousand ways people are exposed. The
milk is dangerous medium OF lnfec-
tion where the udder is affected by tu-
berculosis. It was formerly supposed
that consumption showed itself only in
the lungs, but it is now known that it
takes possession of other organs Of
the body, and sometimes even establish
es itself in the joints. Therefore it is
not apparent always that person has
become infected. even when they are
far gone with the disease. The healthy
people may be able to throw off these
germs, but partial invalids fall an easy
prey. By all means continue the war
against tuberculosis, both in animals
and humans.

Frozen Poultry.

Poultry frozen during the winter as a
means Of preserving it for later use
should always be dry picked, says a
writer in New York Produce Review.
Only the very choicest goods should be
selected for this purpose, and extraordi-
nary care must be taken that the stock
be thoroughly cold and dry when
packed. The treatment varies according
to circumstances Of weather, etc. Prob
ably the best results are obtained when
the stock can be frozen by natural OUT
door temperature. But In seasons and
localities where this is impossible the
freezer may be used successfully. Cases
only should be used, made OF planed,
well seasoned lumber. For old tom tur-
keys the size is 36x22x18 inches, and for
young toms 36x22x15 inches; these
should be Of inch lumber. For
/ chickens, ducks and geese the
size is 30x2Ox about ten inches Tor
deep enough to allow for two lay
ers) made Of hVe-eighths inch lumber.
Two layers Of poultry should be packed
IN each case. Stow the poultry snugly
and closely, striving to have as regular
and handsome appearance as possible.
Turkeys should be packed backs up and
legs out straight. Chickens, ducks and
geese should have the breasts down on
the bottom layer and up on the top lay
er. Pack old toms separately and
never mix them with young toms and
hens, and never pack old fowls and
young chickens togather. Each should
be packed separately and the kind neat
" stenciled on the outside Of the case.
