Trees and Lightning.

There is d popular belief that certain
trees are less likely than others to be
struck by lightning, and that during
Il thunderstorm it is quite safe to stand
under Il beech. for example, while the
danger under a resinOus tree or an oak
is, respectively. fifteen or twenty times
greater This is disputed in a recent
writing by DR. A. w. Bothwick in his
Notes of the Royal Botanical Garden
of Edinburgh The doctor SAYS that
no tree is immune, and the beech is
struck quite as frequently as any other
species Apparently the taller trees in
a neighbOrhOOd are the ones most like
~ to be struck. Contrary TO what is
believed by some people. the cells are
not 'ruptured or torn by the formation
of steam, as might happen if the heat
ing by the electric current was very
great The cells collapse and shrink
up, but are never torn" The root sys-
tenn does not seem to be ever damaged
by lightning.

Few persons realize that horses
hoof is really the same thing as the toe
nails of human beings or of animals
having toes. The horn of a hOof grows
just as tOenai does.
Tie hOof grows more rapidly in I'M
shOd horses than in those wearing
shoes, and it grows faster in horses
which are well grOOmed and well fed.
Eut on an average. says the New York
Sun, the horn grows about third OF
an inch month
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hOofS. The toe Of the hoof being the
longest part, 1t takes longer for the horn
to grow down there than at the heel.
For instance, the toe will grow entire
ly down in from eleven to thirteen
months, while the heel will grow down
in from three to five months.
As the new horn grows out any
cracks or defects in the old gradually
work down to where they can be cut
off Just as with human finger nails you
can watch the progress Of q bruise

Thunder and Milk.

TO many persons the curding of milk
in Il thunderstorm is Il mysterious and
un'utclligible phenOmenOn. Yet. accord
ing 10 scientists, the whole process is
simple and natural Their claim is that
milk like most other substances. CON
tians millions of bacteria. The milk bac-
terra that in a day or two under natural
conditions would cause the fluid to sour
are peculiarly susceptible to electricity,
Electricity lnspirits and invigorates
them. as alcohol. cocaine or strong tea
affects them. Under the currents intiu-
ence they fall to work with amazing ener-
gy. and instead of taking couple of
days to sour the milk they accomplish
the task completely i'll half hour. With
an electric battery it is easy on the same
principles to sour the freshest milk.

Amin ais and Flies.

To protect animals from the annoy-
once Of flies the following preparation
is recommended: Two-thirds linseed oil
one-third crude carbolic acid. Applv
with swab to the tips Of the hair, es-
pecially about the horns, and the animal
will not be bothered with flies of any
kind for week. The preparation. it is
asserted, is excellent for horses. an
swering the same purpose. The Iinseed
oil prevents the hair from coming ont
and also retains the carbolic acid.
Another remedy is to take two or
three small handfuls Of walnut leaves
or pennyroyal. on which pour two or
three quarts of cold water Let it in
fuse over night, pour the whole next
morning into a kettle and boil for fif
teen minutes. When cold it is fit for
use. Moisten a sponge with it. and be-
fore the horse goes out of the stable
let those parts which are most irrita-
bic be smeared with the liquid.

Wagon Road Bridges.

State supervision Of all bridges erect
ed is proposed by State Engineer Fred
erick Sllene Of New York That gen
tleman has drawn up q proposed law
covering the matter He would require
his approval, as well as the approval
of the county engineer, of the plans
and specifications of every bridge ex-
ceeding $500 in cost to be built by q
town. He also recommends that CON
tracts for such bridges be required to
be awarded TO the lowest bidder, after
the work has been properly advertised.
and, finally, that the approval Of the
State engineer be required before pay
ment for completed bridge is made.
There is law in that State providing
that the assistance of the State enyi-
neer may be invoked to superintend
such constructions, but it has been iy-
nored by the counties and towns. and
contracts have been irregularly award
ed, with the result that there are many
inferior structures. Such law as
that proposed would be the means of
correcting the evils of the existing svs-
tenn.

field will naturally drift toward the
fence for protection, especially if there
are no trees III the field. The barbs on
wires attract the lightning, which has
been known to travel several miles on
a fence before it was discharged into
the ground. Lightning takes the path
Of least resistance, and if the body of
an animal is standing near the fence
it makes good conductor and the
charge is detected, with the result Of
a dead horse or COW.
The cost and time needed TO ground
a wire fence is small and need not en-
ter into the question, but when a valu-
able animal is killed, or maybe a whole
herd, as has often happened. the cost
is then very considerable. While you
may never have had any losses of this
kind, it will not pay to put this matter
off, for the next storm that comes up
may be as disastrous to you as it has
been TO some Of your neighbors. Avoid
it by grounding your wire fences in
time.-Goodalls Farmer.

Short suggestions.

Newspapers may be used to pad the
ironing board just as well as an old
blanket or muslin.
Soap well applied to drawer slides
will keep the drawers in furniture and
closets from sticking.
If you will yarnish your IinOleum
about every three months it will last
much longer than without the coats of
varnish.
When washing floors or cleaning win
dows always put a few drops of paraf-
fin in the water and this will keep away
flies. moths and other insects.
The skin from boiled ham will be
more easily removed if as soon as being
taken from the boiling liquor the ham
be plunged into cold water for a mo
ment.
Cheese may be kept from going moldy
by wrapping it in a cloth dipped in vim
egar and wrung nearly dry. Cover the
cloth with a wrapper Of paper and keep
in a cool place.
Milk for the baby can be kept warm
the whole night if it is kept near a hot
water bottle, the two wrapped in a
wooden blanket. 1t has been known to
keep warm until daylight.
Do not throw away the old table
cloths When too much worn to use
on the table cut into convenient sibe,
put narrow hem Oh sides and one-inch
hem on ends and see what nice, soft
towels they will make.
