PTOMAINE POISONING.

The frequency in recent years of
ptomaine poisoning has made that a
thing to be dreaded by humans, and
especially in families. Ptomaines
develop in decaying flesh, and no
meats should be eaten that are not
positively known to be free from
even the slightest beginning of de-
cay. Oysters and fish are perhaps
the most dangerous, as they decay so
readily, and are so often treated in

gain of 313 pounds of pork from one
fourth acre of peanuts. At this rate
one acre would produce SIS worth of
gain, if six cents per pound were re-
ceived. The profit from an acre Of
corn fed to hogs, in comparison with
the peanuts, was $26. At the Ala
bama Station, peanuts proved to be a
more profitable hog pasture than
corn, peas, sweet potatoes or sOr-
ghum.- Southern Agriculturist.

THE VALUE OF SOME CROPS
WHEN FED TO HOGS.

The Louisiana Experiment Station
found that sweet potatoes yielding ap-
proximately 800 bushels per acre
produced $3.50 worth of pork. The
hogs had access to a bermuda pasture
and the gain was valued at cents
per pound.
Stock beets when fed in combina-
ton with cornmeal proved to be
worth about $50 per acre.

rah for Watson
The second convention was held
by the Socialists. Eugene " Debs
was the choice of that convention.
Squire JONES sold a few dozen
eggs at the One-Hoss Store and sub
scribed for the Appeal to Reason,
and then sold some more eggs and
bought books on Socialism.
His neighbors were surprised
when they learned of the 'Squire's
conversion.
YES" he declared, "since l have
been reading the Appeal 1 see where
all of us poor fellers ought to vote
for Debs. The Socialist party is the
poor mans party, and I hope every
last one of you down here on yell
low Creek will join in with me and
help the poor man. Watson's all
right, but Debs is better. Hurrah
for Debs-he's the man for JONES'"
Now it also happened that the Re-
publicans had convention in 19O8,S
in which William Howard Taft was
nominated.
Squire JONES heard about it, and
decided, after reading the platform,
that Republicanism suited him about
right. So he sold a calf and sub
scribed for Republican paper. 81

JONES read about that, sold a horse,
subscribed for the Patriot Phalanx,
and began to talk Prohibition, Of
fering no apology for his change, ex-
cept that it would be time enough to
elect Taft or Bryan after we get rid
of the saloon.
However, after the conventions
were over, Squire JONES cooled off
somewhat and gave his neighbors
rest But the strangest thing about
it all was that when election day
finally came Squire JONES did not

A NEW WOODBURY INDUSTRY

A NEW Wo0DBURY INDUSTRY.
 Rev J. L. R. Wyckon, for 3S years pastor of the North Congregational church, has associated himself with George and Willard Isbell, and organ ized the Perfection Shear Co.,. Inc, at North Woodbury. The company claims to offer to the trade the best shear on the market up to date, and therefore call it the Perfection. The best shear makers in America furnish them their best products just as they put them on sale, and then they ap- ply their patents which experts say improve them from 50 to 50 per cent. Their appliance is very simple and the parts comprising it are as sub stantial as the shears. me cell, spring, disk, Or ball cannot get out of order and need no adjustment. A little oil occasionally on the disk or ball is all that is required. The spring, which is made of the best piano wire, keeps the blades in con- stant contact. No bevel is worn on the blades, which is the serious de- feet in all shears hitherto made. They cut perfectly from heel to toe. Only the up and down motion is re- quired, thus avoiding fatigue to the hand. They make the, ball-bearing and disk-bearing; both secure the, can e result. The shears are guar anteed to be the best laid, tempered and nickeled. Their appeal is only to those who desire and will have, if they can get it, the best. The cost is but trifie more than is paid for an inferior and unsatisfactory shear. They are already on sale in some of the best stores in the country, and the first adverse criticism of them is yet to be made. A manufacturer of shears for 25 years says, There is nothing equal to them.' "They lead the procession" An expert mechan- ic, widely known in New England says, "They are simply splendid" Similar expressions from experts could be greatly multiplied. They are not in the market with a novelty that soon gets out of order, or re-. quires constant adjustment, but with an appliance that involves mechan- lcal principle as essential and practi-. cal as the screw or the handles. MT Wyckoff would be glad to secure the names of reliable parties in nearby towns to act as agents, who undoubt- edly could make a nice thing selling them. The company have rented the old creamery building, and have al ready begun sending out their orders.
