Labor Legislation.

1t is generally agreed with the
West Virginia Board of Trade that
the state needs more humane and
intelligent labor legislation on it's
statute books, not for the benefit or
any class of citizens but for the well
fare OF the whole state every section
and every interest. For this rea-
son the board recommended the en-
actma1t of Just and reasonable
workmen's compensation and en-
ployers' liability act and has also
appointed a committee to draft a
measure for the prevention of indus
trial disputes along the iines Of the
Canadian Industrial Disputes act.
This committee has considered this
subject very carefully and the re-
suit of its labors will be presented

How Students Got Fresh Eggs,

An Indianapolis travelling man wit
messed a novel feast by students of De
Paw university at Greencastle the
other day. He said he was at a station
in that city, and standing near was a
poultry car loaded with live poultry.
The hens were cackling and carrying
on" at a great rate, A crowd Of stu
dents stood around the car, and when
ever a hen produced a nice, new, fresh
egg a student reached his arm through
the side Of the car, seized the egg and
made for a nearby store. where he
fried 1t over a gas Jet.
There were at least twenty stu.
dents around the car" said the travel
ing man, and the hens kept them
busy all the time l was there. I don't
know how many eggs the students got,
but it was a busy bunch of hens. Just
before my train pulled out l heard one
student a to another: Gee, l never
ate SO many eggs in my life!' There
was no question about the freshness
Of the eggs"

SPEEDY REMEDY FOR BLoAT
Many Good Animals Are Lost Because
Owner Did Not Know How to
Treat Case Properly.
GRv r 9 HANING1

AS long as green clover pasture
lasts bloat will cause the death Of
many a good animal simply because
the owner did not know how to treat
the case to effect a speedy remedy.
Tapping, as every one knows, will
usually give relief, but aside from be-
ing a particular piece of work 1t has
the disadvantage of leaving a wound
hat cuts the animal down in flesh,
and 1t must be protected from the
flies during the healing process. Here
is a treatment hat | have used
in a dozen cases. 1t has never failed,
although in some instances the ami.
mails were down on their knees. AS
soon as the animal is known to be
affected get a pail Of cold water and
pour it slowly over the distended
sides Of the animal and along the
backbone. Repeat a few minutes
later.
Bloat is caused by a moist steam or
vapor generated from the green, wet
stuff in the animals paunch, aided
by the natural heat of the animals
body. The cold water quickly lowers
the temperature, causing the steam
to condense and form water, which
then passes off by way of the bowels.

HOW COCA COLA REFREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to good advertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others, to it's delicious flavor" and still
others to the fact hat it was the first in
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of a
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity of the drink
in large part to it's quality Of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition OF Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee n tea
with sugar added the only material
difference being the absence of fannie
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Holling-
worth of Columbia University and OF
DR.. II. G. Wood, Jr. OF Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the CAT
feine-containing beverages Coffee, tea,
Coca-CoIa, etc. relieve mental and mus
cuiar fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use OF
the latter is followed by a period of de-
preston which calls for more stimula
ton, thus resulting in the formation OF
q "habit."-Adv.

Good Flood Gate.

the frame pieces together, says the
Iowa Homestead. After the gate is
made it should be hung securely. If
there r no trees in line with the
fence, or e enough to make their
use permissible, poles must be set. A
good, heavy pole should be selected.
Set it as deep as possible. To be Of
any service 1t should be set in con
crete. Two poles SO set are sufficient
to swing a gate. If dirt Is stamped
around the poles the tapping water
will soften 1t and the pole will SOC
fall i've or be washed out. Brace the
poles well with wires which should be
attached to the top, then tied to sew
erale surrounding trees. II there are
no trees the wires can be pegged
down. The gate is suspended by iron
hasps to a wire cable stretched be-
tween the two posts. A dozen strands
of heavy telephone wire twisted to-
gether makes a good one. When it is
desirable to fence against hogs light
lumber can be nailed to the bottom
of the gate to fill up the opening at
the bottom If there should be one.

Now hat the season of heavy rains
is at hand the farmers whose fields
are ~traversed by creeks and ravines
will be subjected to the annoyance of
having their fences washed out. Flood
gates a v many fences from being
put out of commission, but unless they
are properly made and hung they are
apt to come to disaster during some
violent flood when the streams are
running swift and carrying wreckage,
trees limbs, etc. The flood gate should
be built for strength and should be
made long enough to reach out a good
distance on each side of the creek or
ravine. The timber used in it's con-
struction should be heavy-unfinished
boards are the best. The frame
should be made of 2xS.: The other
lumber-the boards which go across
the frame-should be one inch thick
and twelve wide. Use spikes and en-

Domestic ~sreadmakins.

With a fear of scarcity of bread
through shortage Of flour, one recalls
Cobbett's view of the woman in the
house who, provided with materials,
still lacked a loaf. CAS- to the art Of
making bread" he wrote, sit would be
shocking indeed if that had to be
taught by the means of books. Every
woman, high or low, ought to know
how to make bread; If she do not she
is a mere burden upon the community.
Yet it is but too true that many wom-
en- know nothing of the making Of
bread Even servant women
in abundance. appear to think that
loaves made by the baker are>things
of their pure creation-things, too, in
which no one else can participate.
Now, is not this an enormous evil"
Cobbett's words, however, failed to
touch the kitchen, for the enormous

WORK LATE POTATOES
Eternal Vigilance Is Price of SUBJ
stantial Yield.
impasatively Necessary to Maintain
Dirt or Dust Mulch to Prevent
Needless Waste of Moisture
by Evaporation.
CRy w. NJ.

During July and August the right
kind of work must be given the late
potatoes regularly, for eternal yigl-
lance in the potato patch is the price
Of a good yield of tubers. If they
are properly looked after they will
clean in the rows, with hardly a
weed in hills.
AS soon as the plants show in rows
across a field start the cultiyator and
set the teeth to run four or five
inches deep the first time over the
ground. This loosens up the COM
pacted soil and gives the tiny rootlets
a better chance to penetrate between
the soil particles.
From then maintain a dirt or dust
mulch in between the rows and
around the hills. This is imperative
ly necessary to prevent the needless
waste Of moisture by evaporation. To
check this the dirt mulch acts as a
blanket by cutting off the multitudes
of little holes which appear through
the crust and through which h sun
pumps the water out very rapidly.
1t is a puzzle sometimes to know
just what is the best tool to use at
all times in cu%ltivating potatoes
through the growing season. The
horse weeder is one that may be used
at certain times in the potato field
to alternate with the s~pring-toothed
cultivator, especially when the pota-
toes are planted in drills.
1t levels the ground and destroys
a multitude of weeds. Then for a few
days the cultivator takes hold and
does better work han It would if he
teeth followed right In the same
teeth tracks as before.
The weeder sometimes does more
damage than good, if used improperly.
l like to use it in the afternoon as 1t
does less injury in breaking off tender
plants.
keep the cultivator going very fire.
quently over the same ground be-
tween the rows, working as close to
the hills as possible. But If the sea-
son is wet l get out my old shovel
pillow and corugate the surface quite
deep.
This is for the purpose of exposing
a much larger portion of the surface
soil and thus hasted the evaporation
of the excess of moisture therein. A
moderate drought during he growing
eason does not do as much injury as
too much moisture.

REALLY CLEVER OF JOHNNY
In the Laugh That Followed dag
nosis of Small Boy.

Reference being made at a banquet
some time since to the wonderful say
1ngs of the youngsters, Gov. Ben w.
Hooper of Tennessee was reminded
of the innocent remark of a little
Nashville boy.
One afternoon. the governor said,
the little boy returned from school
complaining that he had a stomach
ache. His mother explained that the
ache was due to the fact that his
stomach was empty, and hat he
would feel better if he had something
In it.
Two evenings later a young man
called to see little Johnny's sweet
sister. Sitting in the parlor, waiting
for the family to retire, the young
man remarked that he had a head
ache.
II know what's the matter with it,
Mr. Smith," exclaimed Johnny, with
great promptness.
do you really, johnny indulgent-
ly smiled Mr.. Smith.
YES" was the startling explana-
ton of Johnny. Its empty. You'd
feel better if you had something in
it."
