Asphyxiation by Gas.

This is such frequent happening
that every one should know just exact
ly what to do in an emergency. In
this condition there is actual blood
poisoning; the Illuminating gas, es-
Gaping freely, joins with the coloring
of the blood, so that the blood can no
longer take up oxygen. The first
thing to be done, if you are in the
room, it to get supply of fresh air,
and that quickly. If the window
sticks, break it with chair, fiat
iron, or anything handy. If nothing
else offers, wrap any thick cloth
around your fist and use that. If you
are outside and have to go in, wet a
towel in cold water, bind closely over
nose and mouth after taking several
long breaths of fresh air, then go in
and get the window OPEN AS soon as
possible carry the patient to a room
where the air is fresh. If the patient
still breathes, apply hot and cold show
er baths alternately until he can take
a long breath. If the breathing has
entirely stopped, apply artificial res

B0RAX IN THE DAIRY
A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.

A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.
A few years ago most anything
went" for milk or cream or butter so
long as it came originally from a COW.
Now things are changed.
The public realizes, the dairyman
realizes and the farmer realizes that
there is just as much difference be-
tween milk from sweet utensils and
milk from stale" utensils as there
is between milk, and chalk and
water.
The problem of keeping sweet all
the utensils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been serious one with
the farmer. =:
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taint or hint of staleness
left in can, tin or churn may ruin
whole output; that the taint which is
left is in the form of bacteria which
grow and multiply in milk or butter,
producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water wont rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves
residue of it's own which is, if any,
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue. and it is little wonder that
there has been constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
tablishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly fills
the bill-boraX.
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, Sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that is
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re-
lieving the dairyman and dairy house
wife of drudgery and of needless
work and worry.
It's cheapness and value should give
it first place in the necessities of every
dairy.
The cows udder is kept in clean,
healthy and smooth cc>,aition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoonful of borax to two quarts
of water. =.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracked teats, which make
milking time a dread to the COW and
a worry to the mixer.
The modern cleanser of all dairy
utensils consists of-one tablespoon
full Of borax to every. quart of water
needed. Remember tablespoonful
equals four teaspoonfuls.
Be sure that you get pure boraX.
To be sure. you must get 30 Mule
Team Borax" If you are unable to
get the - Mule Team" brand send
US your dealers name and we will ar
range to supply you. Send for booklet.

HEARING IN FISHES,
Found That the Sense is Not Highly.
Developed.


At a recent meeting Of the French
Academy CT Sciences Prof. Delage read
an account of a series of experiments
made by NJ. Marage on the sense OF
hearing in fishes. Many difficulties
were encountered in performing ac-
curate experiments. If, a fish be
placed in tank, the sound being re-s
fiected from all the walls, the animal,
having no clew as to the origin Of the
sound vibrations, VIII make no att,
tempt at fleeing. If, however, the fishes
are experimental on in the state OF
liberty these investigations will be-
found still more difficult. At all
events, fishermen do believe in the
sense Of hearing of fishes! Marage
used an India-rubEer funnel to trans
nit the sound to the water, this fun
mel being tuned to the number OF vibra-
tions of the sound in question. The
yowels a, e, j. o, u, were produced
within a range Of four octaves and
with the energy generally used with
deaf mutes. The experiments were
madeon fishes both at liberty and in
captivity. In the latter case a diver
was able to perceive and to analyze
the sound vibrations in the water TO
distances up to 100 feet. Although {
these vibrations failed to showany ef-
feet on the fishes NJ. Marage thinks it
quite possible that the animals may
hear the noises produced by fishermen.
1t should, however, be remembered
that this rudimentary sense Of hear.
ing is compensated by highly develop
ed senses of touch and vision.-Scien-
tific American.

TinWare.

Tinware should be rubbed with a
flannel cloth, we'll soaped, to remove
all stains, frightened with dry fan
mel dipped in whiting, and finished
with the ever useful chamois.
For zinc baths and zinc covered ia
bles nothing is more effecsual than
powdered batnbrick used along with
soap: polish of with dry whiting, and
finish with chamois, as in the pre-
vious case.

Baking Dishes.

Baking dishes that have been dis
colored by being too long in the oven
may be secured with a piece Of lan-
mel that has been dipped in carbon
ate of soda, whiting, salt, or even fine
ashes.
Salt will also prove effectual in re
moving the stains from china cups,
egg stains from silver or bone spoons,
and will clean the bone handles OF
knives or brushes S. Salt and vinegar
will quickly remove stains from
brass, but whiting must be used to
give the finishing polish.-New York
