ent over the i'll health of her three

with the germs of tuberculosis, Mrs.
Barker McElwain, wife of Barker
McElwain, a prominent farmer, who
resides near this place, took her life

8 and 20 years, and son, aged Is,
were afflicted with consumption. She
had threatened to take her life and
the family had locked the shotgun in
a closet and hidden the key. That
morning she obtained the key and
took the weapon from its hiding
place and repaired to her room and
discharged it by the aid of a comb.

Sulphur Fumi&ation.

1t takes some ingenuity to burn sui
phur in a vessel, as it tends to smoth-
er flames. If several pounds are to
be burned, a fire of cobs or sticks
soaked with kerosene must be built
above the sulphur and kept burning
until you see the blue flame of the
sulphur licking up through the wood
blaze.
One way to disinfect the poultry
house with sulphur is to dissolve one
half pint Of turpentine and one-half
pint of tar in one-half gallon of kero-
sene Soak corncobs in this solution,
and when ready to burn out the poul.
try house for lice or germs of disease
have ready a sharp-pointed piece of
iron to thrust in the ends of the cobs

It burns pass the cob over the roosts,

where about it. This should be done
every week for a month or more
