Experimental station Ewes.


1t is reported from the Ames (Ia.)
Experiment Station farm that they
have raised forty-three lambs from
twenty-five ewes. at this rate the flock
would soon double itself in he hands
of experienced breeders, says the Farm
er and Breeder. Some years ago the
late Uncle Willie" Watson, while at
burlington, Neb., managing the herds
and fiocks of T. W. Harvey, raised
thirty-six lambs from eighteen South
down ewes. 1t must be remembered
that these ewes were of an especially
productive breed, possibly selected for
the flock because of their having pre-
viously produced twins or were them
selves twins.

Further Descriptions of Delightful
Trip From St. Augustine Through
The Lake Region ofiFlorida-Hang-
:; ing Spanish Moss.
A word more before leave the beau
tiful city of st. Augustine in Sunny
Florida, although the whole of our
visit was not made as matter of fact
in sunshine. We went into the old
Cathedral with its three bells "all in a
row." and one smaller bell hanging
above, one of these being the oldest bell
in the United States. We also visited
three of the principal churches in the
city-the pretty Episcopal, the unique
Methodist, and the beautiful Presby-
terian church, the last memorial built
by Mr.. Flagler for his only daughter.
Fort Marion, one of the sights of st.
Augustine is an old Spanish fort, de-
serted, but kept in repair for visitors.
We climbed the famous stairway to the
ramparts where the view of bay, har-
Dor, town and ocean is so fine. l stood
in the sentinel towers on the four
corners of the Fort and almost imag-
fned could see the enemy approaching.
TO me the quaint old streets of the
town where most fascinating; there are
no sidewalks, and one has to hug the
walls in order not to be run over;

has sprung a. growth of bright green,

que streets, lined on each side with
shops, where the curiosity seeker could

of their shells, to the great big fellows

palmetto, Shells etc. were also exhibit
ed. All of this we saw in the rain and

remember that it raired.

trenched themselves in that redoubt,
and yet more, famous and glorious be-
came their memory after the sanguin-
ary and unequal fight. Men were they,
heroes and intrepid characters, sur
rounded by a vast horde of savage
Mexicans, with many an old score to
settle; yet not one thought of surren-
der apparently entered their souls. The
last of them was killed by Mexican
bullets; but not until they had made
a fearful accounting among the swarm
ing hosts of the enemy. The tragic
story of the Alamo will go down in
history as one of the greatest Of
battles, and Texas and the Nation
owes a lasting debt of gratitude to the
woman who has saved it's crumbling

Restore Life After Death.
Claim That Victims of Electric Chair
Can Be Brought Back to Life.

To be able to restore life after cleo
trocution is the claim of ]. M. Berger,
an expert electrician, who states that
by his method person electrocuted at
one of our prisons, and pronounced
dead by the attending physicians, may
be restored to life. His only require
ments are that he be allowed to take
the body within fifteen minutes after
life is pronounced extinct and that the
brains be not baked or the lungs car
donated.
Mr.. Berger states that he, himself,
received more volts than are supposed
to be necessary to kill man and that
he knows of cases where as high as
5000 and 1000 volts have gone through
mems bodies and they have been re-
stored to life and health.
He cites as an illustration, the case
of Joseph Averell, a Baltimore line
man, who was caught in an alternating
current of 5000 voltage and thrown
from a pole to the middle of the street.
He was removed at once to the city
hospital and emergency treatment was
quickly applied. Both of his hands
were burned to a crisp and his skull
the street, but he recovered.
Mr.. Berger's method is very simple
and one that he claims may be followed
by any person who is cool-headed and
not likely to become excited. He lays
the victim of electrocution on his back
with a rolled coat or blanket under his
shoulders so that the head is allowed to
fall backwards. The operator should
kneel behind the head of the patient,
facing him, grasp the elbows and draw
them well over the head, so as to bring
them almost together above and hold
them there for two or. three seconds.
He should then carry the elbows down
to the sides and front of the chest,
firmly COMPRISING it by throwing his
weight upon the elbows
After two or three seconds, the arms
should be carried above the head and
the same manoeuverss should repeated
at the rate of fifteen or sixteen times
minute. The operators must remem-
ber that the manipulation must be con-
Quoted with methodical deliberation,
just as described, and never hurriedly
or half heartedly. In addition to this,
the tongue must be drawn out to free
the throat. A cloth should be used in
holding the tongue so it will not slip.
