ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.

Science is doing wonders these DAYS

Since Adam delved, the human race

which no hair preparation has hereto
fore proved a successful cure unit,
Newbro's Herpicide was put on the
market. 1t is scientific preparation
that kills the germ that makes dand-
ruff or scurf by digging into the scalu

it saps the vitality: causing itching

without dandruff hair must grow lux

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS,

Two small poultry runs are better
than one large one.
Keep plenty of grit where the fowls
can have access to it.
The best way to cure sickness among
the hens is to prevent it.
Better not keep the male birds with
the females during the moulting sea-
son.
Any fowls that are not to be car
ried through the winter should be sold
now.
The smaller and more crowded tho
poultry quarters, the cleaner they
must be kept.
Do not fall into the common error
of thinking the poultry business can
be mastered in day.
It is a waste of food and time to
feed and care for chickens in such
manner as just to keep them at a
standstill.
There is mighty little sickness
among fowls which are properly
housed and given the right kind of feed
and attention.-Commer Poultry.

HAD CRAZY SPELLS.

West Pembroke, Me-, Sept. 22.-The
thirteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. A.
L. Smith suffered with a peculiar af-
Fiction which her mother describes as
follows,
ut is two years now since she was
first taken with crazy spells.
''They kept on coming at intervals
and could get nothing to do her any
good.
"The doctors gave me no encourage
ment. They all said they could not
help her.
1.-THE crazy spell would last about
nine days, then she would be we'll about
nine days, but would eat very little and
was very yellow. Even the whites of
her eyes were yellow.
II heard that Dodd's Kidney Pills
were great remedy for young girls
and decided to try them.
"After taking one box she was COM
pletely restored and she has not had
one bad spell since. OF course we con-
tinued to use the pills and she used
altogether five boxes last fall.
"1n March thought saw symptoms
of the spells again and I got six boxes
of which she has taken four and is in
splendid health.
"Her case was certainly a remark
able one and we are very thankful to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good
they have done my daughter"

COMMERCE AND GENT1L1rY.
Run Of ON nmemadc Candy Made
Sitter Jane Nervous and Stopped
Its Sale.

One Of the most interesting pieces of char.
acter drawing in Hawthorne's work is tho
proud old New England woman, Hepzi-
bah, in the blouse of Seven Gables. !"
Forced to keep shop, she used to wish that
customers would not come to witness the
taY OF her pride and her fortunes. The
Washington Post tells similar story, the
scsae OF which is laid in PENNSYLVANIA vii
lage.
Two old spinsters keep little shop in
Which they sell pins and calico and other
small wares" Last summer Washington
woman saw jar of homemade candy in
their window, and bought some of it. It
was so good that she bought more of it, and
told all the summer visitors about it. There
was a rum on homemade candy, and the
jar had to be refilled again and again.
One day the Washington woman called
tor some more of the candy, and was tod
that the sisters were out of It. A day later
she called again, and the elder sister, with
some embarrassment, said that they were
still out, and recommended that she try
the city-made candy at the drug store. This
was not what the Washington woman want.
ed, SO after two days she paid a third visit
to tie shop. Still the candy jar was empty.
AGENT you ever going to have any more
Of it," she asked.
The elder sister hesitated in obvious dis
tress.
II don't think we are," she said, at
length. "You see, so many people cot to
running in here asking for that candy, and il
made so much confusion, that Sister Jane
got nervous about it. So we decided not tc
sell any more candy. We aren't going tc
keep it after this"

The Selection of PulIets.

AS your young stock grows, select
from all the broods the very finest,
strongest and most vigorous pullets
to keep for winter layers. Size,
strength and vigor have so much to
do with egg production that one
should study this continually in the
flock and train the eye to see the best
egg producers while yet undeveloped.
Save all such for your own use; never
part with them unless you have more
than you need. After they are select
ed keep them we'll under your own
eye and select from all these the very
best egg producers to lay the eggs
from which yoV will grow your future
stock, and gradually you will gain in
egg production The best hens are
the ones that lay the largest number
of eggs that are of fair size, good form
and nicely finished. Such eggs sell the
best, usually produce the best and have
the best value in the market.-Feath-

First, take an old barrel and knock
out the bottom. Dig hole five feet
deep and put the open end of the bar
rel down. Then make the box to suit
yourself, but mine is four by six feet
and foot high. Cut a one and one-half
inch hole in the middle of the bottom
and then get two one and one half-inch
fanges and two pieces of one and one
half-inch pipe, one piece being IA inches
long and the other ten inches. Take
the longer piece and a fange and screw
them together and then screw to the
bottom of the box. Then put about
foot of earth on top of the barrel and
set your box down in the ground SO
that the top is even with the surface
of the ground. Screw fange on the
inside of the box over the hole, the
same as the other; and screw the ten
inch piece of pipe in so that you can I'M
screw it to let out the the water in
order to clean the box. Run the inlet

THE FINDING OF HONEY.
A Question That Has Engaged the
Attention of Learned Jurists
for a Long Time.

Writing on laws relating to the find
ing of honey, r. D. Fisher in Clean
ings says: There was a sort of code
among bee-hunters in the earlier days
of this country, and is said to hate
been generally observed. 1t was to
the effect that when a bee tree was
located and marked with the initials
of the finder, his rights were prima
facie, and zealously observed. But
this code did not hold good in law,
especially against those holding an in
terest in the land.
''If a person fndssa bee-tree contain
ing honey, or a hive of bees on an
others land, and marks it at once with
his initials, he does not reclaim the
bees and vest the exclusive property of
the bees or honey in himself. as
against one of the heirs having an in
terest in the land; nor does he acquire
the right to bring in the courts the
usual action of trespass against the
heir for cutting down the tree and car
rying away the bees and honey" says
the New York supreme court in the
case of Gillet VS.. Mason.
An early and noted case is reported
in (Root) Conn. Goodwin sued Mer-
rill for cutting down a tree in the
forest that had swarm of bees in it,
and taking the honey which he Good
why had previously discovered. Mer-
rill plead that said bees were a swarm
from his hive; that he had frequent
ly ''lned" them to near said tree, and
that said bees were his property. The
plaintiff replied that he found them
wild in the woods, and had good right
to take them. The trial court gave the
plaintiff judgment of 80 shillings dam
age.
The supreme court reversed this
Judgment, and said: "a mans find
ing bees in tree standing upon an
other mans land gives him no right
either to the tree or bees; and a
swarm of bees going from a hive, if
they can be followed and known, are
not lost to the owner, but may be re-
claimed"
As early as 1904 the New Hampshire
supreme court held that one who finds
a swarm of bees in tree On another's
land, marks the tree with his initials,
and notifies the land owner, cannot
maintain trover against the land own
err for the bees and honey which he
obtained and converted to his own use
by Telling the tree.
