Odd Death of a Bird.

A curious instance of bird death is
recorded by w. E. D. Scott in his
"Story of Bird Lover He tells a
story of a kingfsher who was shot,
pursued his fight, apparently unhurt,
for 200 feet, and then dropped dead.
Still, when the body was examined
there was no mark of a wound upon it,
which gave rise to the possibility that
a wild bird could be frightened to
death. II have seen the same thing
happen many times SINCE" continues
the story. II know now the reason for
this. A single shot striking bird in
flight, penetrating the thin side of his
body and entering his lungs, makes a
very small hole, and no external hemor-
rhage ensues. There is little or no
shock to the bird. l fancy he hardly
feels pain. but presently the internal
henorrhage from the great blood yes
sells that have been severed makes him
suddenly unconscious, and in moment
he is dead. The time. however, between
the penetrating of the shot and the in
ternal henorrhage is sufficient to al
low the animal to travel a very cOnsid-
cradle distance seemingly uninjured."

The Blow on the Jaw.

A man struck with any degree Of
force uron the mental area Of the jaw,
although he may be in perfect physical
condition, Instantly coIlapses and falls
to the ground. The attitude assumed
in recovery, which may be instantane-
GUS Or delayed some minutes, is most
characteristic. He squirms about,
raises his head and rolls his eyes in an
attempt to locate himself. He tries to
get on his side and elbow; he endeav-
ors to rise upon his hands and knees.
If he regains his feet he staggers like a
drunken man, and should he proceed to
reopen hostilities he is usually prompt
" put cut" by his adversary. The
blow is nra ctically never fatal; the
hearts action IS never unduly acceler-
ated; the pulse and respiration are nor
NAL; the pupils are normal; there is no
headache, no sweats, no cold eXtremi-
ties, no pallor--none of the ordinary
signs of shock or concussion.-Med

Some Odd Ears.

In human beings the two ears fire.
auently do not match, though, as both
canaot be properly seen at the same
time. this defect usually escapes our
notice. The same thing is true to some
extent Of monkeys and quadrupeds.
and owls have one ear directed up
ward and the other downward, which
enables them to hear both above and
below as they fly.
Taking the word Gear" in a broader
sense, there are some animals which
possess two kinds Of these organs. A
fish, for example, has pair Of ears
Embedded in it's head, and also a Pc
culiar streak-the lateral line-running
down each side of the body, which
appears to perform some Of the furc-
tons Of hearing, as it is concerned
with the detection Of movements Ill the
surrounding water.
The two feelers which project from
the head of an insect are almost Ger
tainly auditory organs, and when these
are supplemented by ears Of another
kind we can say that the ears are not
all alike.
Grasshoppers and locusts have extra
ears in their legs, and the common
house fly has pair of little club shaped
projections behind the wings (bal-
ancers) which probably help it to hear.

Results Obtained From Experiments
by Maryland Station.

Dy HaEy1SSnu SlsSaAOns
There is &. continuous complaint that
IN the summer milk and cream shipped
to the city do not keep well and there
is much loss from souring even before
they reach the consumers. The result
is of course due to bacteria contained in
the dirt that falls into the milk during
milking and from contamination by
poorly cleaned milk utensils.
Aside from the necessity Of cleanli-
ness much of the trouble would be pre-
vented if due attention was paid to
proper cooling of the milk as soon as it
is produced It is a custom among dai-
rymen to put one or two cans in the
watering tank and depend on the water
in the tank to cool the milk sufficiently
How little dependence can be placed on
this method is shown by some expert
ments at the Maryland experiment sta
ton, of which the following is the con-
clusiOn:
The experiment shows that milk set
in tub or tank Of water at 50 degrees,
the milk having no previous cooling,
could not be depended upon in warm
weather to keep longer than twenty
four hours. The milk cooled immedi-
ately to the same temperature kept
from thirty to thirty-fve hours. There
would of course be considerable varia
ton in the length of time the milk
would keep when set in the water, de-
pending on the character Of the wealth
err, whether it were cool or hot, as this
would make considerable difference in
the ultimate temperature Of the water
and milk. It is doubtful if in ordinary
weather milk could be kept at this
temperature for longer than twenty
four hours without an impractical
amount of care bestowed in another
way. The most important lesson to be
gathered from this work is that tenn
perature Of 65 degrees cannot be de-
pended on to keep milk for a sufficient
length of time to get into the city
market without the shipping point is
close to the city and the milk is
shipped twice day. This is i'm r.
tant to producers, for they get careless
about the temperature Of the water
that is used. Even If the we'll fur
nishes unusually cool water, if it is
allowed to stand for any length of time
during hot day it will soon get above
the danger point, and for this reason
it is a necessity that the water be
pumped fresh for the milk at the time
that the milk goes into the tank. Of
course where running spring water is
used this point does not need to be
guarded against, but it is something
that the man who uses we'll water and
has no ice needs to look after very
closely.

Performance y Test OF Merit.


Performance is something that must
not be lost sight of by the practical
dairyman in grading up his herd.
Sometimes the fancy points Of the
breed he IS using for the grading up
and sometimes little thing like color
than they ought to-
One OF the best grade herds q Wis
consin Agriculturist representative who
travels about the state remembers
having seen We're grade Jerseys, and
the wise owner made production the
standard by which the cows eligible to
a place in the herd were judged. The
butter record was set at $50 pounds
and every cows production was judged
by the Babcock test.
But the point we were getting at is
that though this herd was far above
the average OF many pure bred herds
some Jersey men would have objected
to many Of the individuals because
they were so dark in color. We Go not
think that this discrimination is as
it is time that it be done away with
in herds where production is the meas
ure of value. Some men would keep a
cow in gSade herd because she was
a nice type and pretty, even. if she
did not make money enough to pay for
her feed, but the practical dairyman
must not do it. ssas.ssals
