The ljuhtninu Rod.

Though Franklin will continue to
receive the honor that is his due as
the inventor Of the first practical light
ming rod. the study Of atmospheric
electricity goes back at least to the
time Of Tullius Hostilius. who persisted
in an attempt to draw fire from the
sky" A learned priest of the name Of
Divisch is said to have erected the
first lightning conductor in Europe.
He set 1t up ut Prendiz. Bohemia, in
1854. and it was 1870 feet high. Though
the Emperor Stephen and the Empress
Maria Theresa publicly proclaimed
their confidence in the inventor. a
most disastrous drought that afflicted
the country year later was ascribed
by the superstitious populace to the
newfangled device, and Divisch was
compelled to take it down. 1t is not
probable that Franklin was acquaint-
ed with Divisch's experiment.

Indian Humor.

Old Geronimo would scarcely be sus-

sion the medicine chief gave me
sample of it. 1t was his custom In the
later years Of his life to watch for the
coming of white visitors to Fort Sill
or to Miss Adkisson's mission. near by.
in order that he might sell beaded
canes to them. From the proceeds he
was accustomed to purchase certain
creature comforts not supplied by the
government, but on which he relied
for support in his old age. One day l
was talking to him about them. he
said: They make me walk straight

nut strength into me. and lean on
them"
Then to those beady eyes that so
often had fiared with hatred and cru

tinued: II sell these canes. and the
white man buys them-both for one
purpose. They help us to walk

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR GARGET
Irritation Produced by Injury, Such as
Kick or Being Stepped on, Is
Easily Relieved.

Garget comes from irritation pro-
duced by an injury, such as a kick or
being stepped on by another animal.
Sometimes garget is caused by allow
ing the COW to go too long without
milking, and frequent cause is germs
entering the udder. A good remedy Is
to physic the COW with one pound OF
epson salts dissolved in about quart
of moderately warm water. Then. give
a teaspoonful of pokeroot twice day.
Make a solution of one tablespoon Of
pokeroot and about pint Of witch
hazel or alcohol and battle the udder
frequently. Keep the COW in dry,
cool place.
Battle the udder with hot water and
manipulate it gently for 10 or 20
minutes at a time. This generally
facilitates cure. II the udder is very
large suspend it in a strip of canvas
fastened over the cows back, with
holes for the teats to protrude. This
will relieve the strain upon the
muscles of the udder.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1910-01-07
To Cure Hard Mixers.

This is due to an unnatural condi-
ton of the sphincter muscles at the
end of the teat and often what might
be valuable COW on this account Is
one that everybody wishes to avoid.
The proper method of overcoming
hard milking is to wash the teats off
with an antiseptic solution, dip teat
plug into healing ointment and insert
same into the point of the teat, per-
hitting teat plugs to remain in the
teats from one milking to another.
A few treatments of this kind will
overcome hard milking in any COW,
without danger of injecting the teats
or udder, but even this treatment
should be handled with cleanliness.

IN AND OUT OF THE DAIRY.

Have plenty of pure air in the dairy
barn.
A clean-minded man always pro-
duces clean milk.
MIX and cream are the first foods
of this world and should be the pur-
est and most sanitary product which
we consume.
Do not allow any foul air around
the COW stables or places where milk
and cream are kept.
1t is hard 70 believe that there are
dangers lurking in milk. It's very
whiteness bespeaks its purity, yet
this very quality may conceal the
growth of countless germs, and its
sweetness may lure the drinker into
an unwarranted sense of security.
Milk from a COW which has tubercu-
losis does not produce immediate
harm, but many seeds of the great
white plague, consumption, are sown
during infancy in milk.
Don't turn the cattle on the pas
ture too early. Wait until you are
sure the grass is sufficiently large to
turn them on, then wait week or
ten days longer.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT A SIL0
Several Kinds Of Material Can Be
Used In Building Feed Tank
Cement Is Aid.

There are several kinds of material
which can be used in making a silo,
namely, wood, cement and stone. The
stave silo is very good and gives splen-
did satisfaction. The cement silo Is
of newer origin, but is coming into
use and those that have them are well
pleased with the results. The Cur
Ter silo is combination of cement and
wood which we think would make
very good silo, says Hoard's Dairy
man. While a satisfactory silo can
be made as described by using sew
eral thicknesses of lumber and pa
per, yet we believe it is better as
rule, TO saw the lumber into strips
and make a stave silo of them, using
iron hoops to bind them together.

When Cows Are Nervous.

If any of your COWS are nervous or
troublesome in any way at milking
time. try feeding them just before you
begin to milk. The giving down Of
the milk is governed by the nerves.
and the more the cows mind is taken
from the milking process the less ac-
ton the nerves will have on the milk
secreting glands. Feed will make the
COW more contented, which In turn
will result in larger yields.
