l awoke with a start. The gray of
the morning was just coming on.
Something had happened.
And yet there was nothing In the
surroundings to tell me this. Every
thing was as it had been. The house
was perfectly still, too still. At any
rate, the stiffness seemed awful. What
prompted me to get out of bed and go
to Mr.. Morton's room l don't know.

My first impulse was to cry for help.
Help for what? Mr.. Morton was dead.
Who had killed him? Then the idea
first occurred to me that l was the
only person in the house at the time
Of the murder, except the man being
murdered and the murderer.
! had gone to work on Mr. Morton's
farm several years before He was a
married man, but his wife had left
him. and he lived alone. He was a
harsh man, but somehow he had taken
a fancy to me and kept me with him.
One day a neighbor said to me that
he believed Morton quite capable of
leaving his property to me in order to
keep 1t from going to his wife. This
suggestion l now remembered, and it
sent cold chill through me, for If he
had made will in my favor it would
be regarded as an incentive to the
crime on my part.
What should do? Go at once to the
nearest neighbor and announce the
murder? | dressed myself and put on

Deadly Soap

BOSTON,-In a warning against
soap as a carrier of virulent germs
and a menace to the public health,
DR.. John J. Mullowney, of the Bos.
ton Board OF Health, said Sunday:
81 believe that common soap, par
ticularly the sort of soap that is u.s.
ed for the washing OF utensils which
are food containers, is a carrier of
microbe organisms which are a men,
ace to health.
'No animal soap should be used
in cleaning milk cans or other recep-
tacles for food
"In my experience in the west,
where much Of the soap used in
America is made, | found that all of
the diseased animals which were
condemned by the Government in
spectors in the big packing houses
were used in the manufacture Of
soap, which is a by.product OF the
meat industry.
There is danger in the indiscrim.
mate use of toilet soaps in public
places. 1t is true that members of
a family as we'll as the employees
Of large establishments accumulate
a remarkable collection of microbe
organisms in their various occupa-
tons and transmit them to the lone
bar Of soap aud thence to those
who use it subsequently,"

TREATMENT OF FLESH WOUND
Method Of Value to Every Owner Of
Stock Is Given by Prof. q. n.
Glover Of Massachusetts.

The following treatment Of flesh
wounds by Prof. q. II. Glover OF Mas
sachusetts is of value to every owner
OF stock, as he is recognized au-
thority. Tho ordinary wound will heal
n not interfered with. This interior
ence may be from germs, parasites
meddling with the wound, on the part
Of man or the animal itself. The
arst thing TO do, Of course, would be
to stop the hemorrhage. This can be
accomplished by a tight bandage OF
clean, white muslin applied either
over the wound or above Il. A thread
may be run under the artery by using
a needle and tied. Do not use flour,
dirt, cobwebs or anything Of that sort
on the wound; they are unnecessary
and may produce dangerous infection.
Having checked the bleeding remove
the clots OF blood and cut of the rag
ged edges OF tissue with clean shears.
A pan Of antiseptic solution should be
provided, and one of the best antisep-
tics on the farm is creolin. Add tea
spoonful Of this to pint Of water that
has been boiled and use It on the
wound two or three times day. Place
the knife. shears, etc, in this solu-
ton and wash the hands before begin
ming to dress the wound.
See that there is good drainage
from the wound and do not tie the
wound up with covering Of any kind.
In about one week 1t may be well to
change to dry dressing. In the mean
time It will be well to get in communi-
cation with some skilled veterinarian
who will advise you in the case from
time to time. l do not mention sew
ing up the wound for the reason that
in ragged cuts it is better not to do
so. Remember that the principal thing
is to get the wound healthy at the
start and then it will heal with very
little interference.

Buy Feed or Sell PIas?

are to feed their pigs, this season. with
corn at so cents a bushel and mid.
dlings $1.75 per cwt. and prospects Of
going still higher. For the man who
has pigs and no feed. we thing It would
be about the most reasonable thing for
him to sell his pigs to some man who
has feed and save himself the drudg'
cry Of carrying the food to them and
the risk Of losing good money in the
process. 1t is the opinion OF the writer
that even with pork abnormally high,
there is no money to be made just now
by feeding hogs on a ration that must
all be purchased at current prices.
