Insect Stings.

Stings and bites of insects are ex-
tremely dangerous at all times, and
especially when the system is not in
q condition to resist the poison in
iected. In many insects the nature
Of the poison has not been ascertain
ed; while in most of them it is of
an acid, irritant nature; in others
II may contain powerful cardiac
sedative and depressant, and in still
other organisms in pure or mixed
cultures may be introduced with the
sting or bite. Apart from the natur-
al poison used by insects, it should
not be forgotten that flies and other
Insects that live on carrion may
easily carry contagion and inoculate
the persons whom they bite or sting.
In the case of ordinary bites and
stings the chemical antidote is a
strong alkaline solution, such as a
strong solution of bicarbonate of
soda or potash, which counteracts
The acid of the sting. Suction at the
wound in all these varieties of stings
and bites will draw out some of the
poison, and until some antitoxin
treatment can be found which will
prove an antidote to the bacterial
poison introduced little can be done
beyond a stimulating and supporting
treatment with attention to symp-
toms.-From Health.

Retail trade has been helped by
steady hot weather, holiday prepara-

fall, winter and spring. In this re-
spect the strength of demand for cot

partly due to the strength of raw
cotton and the satisfactory reports as
to orders booked by wooden and
worsted goods manufacturers for
next springs delivery at very hign
prices, are by far the notable feat
ures. All Western cities report fall
bookings larger than last year by
various percentages, and some ad-

Choosing Best Layers.

There are great many methods
advertised in various pamphlets and
papers stating that, IL you will prac-
tice this or that method of selecting
as laid down in the paper, you will
be able to determine the drones from
the workers. The writer has tried a
few of these so-called certainties, and
has come to the conclusion the trap
nest is the only accurate test. 1t is
by selection and keeping records that
advancement is made along this line.
Each hen has her own individual
ity; certain hens lay eggs that are in
nine cases out of ten hatchable.
Some hens lay we'll, but although
their eggs are usually fertile, they
will not hatch, whether set under a
hen or placed in the best incubator.
The chicks develop to a certain size,
in many cases being fully formed, but
die in the shell. Again, many hens
lay eggs that are seldom fertile.
In selecting birds one has several
objects. The saying "that the hen
that lays is the hen that pays" is
often heard. The majority engaged
in the poultry business consider egg
production the best end of the busi-
ness. 1t is often the surest. There is
not the same amount of risk attached
to 1t. At the same time, If people
are foolish enough to believe that Mr..
So-and-So can supply eggs from hens,
tested by the so-called new system,
which have produced 800 eggs per
annum, they have more faith in the
advertiser and the hen than the
writer has.
There is no doubt that certain char
acters should be looked for in a
good laying hen. She should be low
set, and stand on a pair of shanks
set fairly wide apart. The head
should be nice and clean cut, with a
full bright eye. In other words, hens
should show feminine character, and
not wrinkled features. Hens of the
latter type should be discarded; in
short, masculinity in the hen is bad
sign. A hen with large capacity for
food has large crop, is usually a
payable bird to feed. The smaller the
sack Of food she takes to roost at
night the fewer eggs will she produce.
Dairymen know that COW must have
plenty of room for food in order to
produce large milk yield.
The advertised systems serve one
purpose. By examining the lay bones
the amateur knows which bird is
about to lay, or is laying. Should
the lay bones be relaxed to the ex-
tent of about three fingers (closed)
the bird is laying; If they are almost
In contact, that is the hen to market,
but so much depends on the time of
year one wishes to sell table fowls

BRIDGE SINKS INTO RIVER.
Driver OF Heavy Lumber Wagon
Has Close Call.

Excitement is at fever
heat in Hereford Township, Berks
County, on account of the great
damage done by the gang of young
men who stole twenty-five pounds
OF dynamite at the warehouse of
Stauffer Bros, and exploded 1t on
the county bridge at Klotz's Mill.
The county bridge is one span
iron truss structure, and at first the
damage was not considered serious
or dangerous, but when the heavy
lumber team of Oliver Beck, of Bally,
was ready to pass over, the struc-
ture collapsed into the Perkiomen
River.
Edwin Solt, the driver, succeeded
in landing the four mules safely
over the slowly sinking structure.
He had narrow escape and was
nearly pinned fast by the heavily
loaded wagon, which weighed five
tons.
The matter has been brought be-
fore the County Commissioners and
the bridge is closed to travel. A
thorough investigation will be made.
On several nights explosions took
place at various places, all suspected
to have been accomplished by dyna-
mite stolen from the store of Stauf-
fer Bros. The damage done will
cost the county about $1,000.
