How Her Life Was Saved When Bit
to

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by woman. The woman
promptly tainted and the car, left to
its own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused Il serious accident.
The bite of a poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. X. NJ. Fishel,
Route No /, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa,
tells how she saved her life when bit
ten by large snake.
"On August 20, 1906, ] was bitten
on the hand twice by a large copper
head snake Being a distance from
any medical aid, as a last resort
used Sloan's Liniment, and to my as
constituent found it killed all pain
and was the means of saving my life.
I am the mother of four children and
am never without your Liniment."

The Department Of Agriculture has
undertaken a series of experiments in
tended to answer, if possible, the old
question, How long can seeds remain
buried in the soil and still retain their
power of germination:'
Many extraordinary stories have
been told of the prolOngation of the vi
tally of seeds during many years, and
even centuries, but very few actual ex-
periments have hitherto been made.
DR.. Beal has reported that he has
found seeds that responded to germina-
ton tests after having been buried
twenty years The seeds buried by the
experts of the Agricultural Department
at the Arlington farm last year were
packed with dry clay in porous clay
pots, covered with saucers and placed
at various depths from s inches to
81 feet. There are 30 complete sets,
in 1854 pots, representing 100 spe-
cies, 81 genera and 81 families. Tests
are to be made at the end of one, two,
