controlled.
The ligature is then removed
from the arm and the vein opened.
The donors artery is now divided,
the end nearest the hand Is
clamped; and its other end nearest
the body's trunk, is seized with
forceps.
While the blood is streaming
from it this artery is passed about
an inch UP into the patients vein.
The two forceps on the vein are
now crossed, overlapping their
edges tight enough around the
artery to prevent the escape OF
blood.
The donors pulse chat Of his
free handy is watched as long as
y the TRANSMISSION continues, and so
an estimate is made of the total
amount of the transfused blood and
for an assurance that the donor Is
not losing so much as to endanger
his life. When the TRANSMISSION is
finished the artery is withdrawn
from the vein, tied sand the wrist
wound sewed up. From eight to
twelve ounces may safely be do
mated. The opening of the patients
vein is closed by ligature or SIM
ply by a pressure bandage, as after
any blood letting.
For vein-to-vein TRANSMISSION, a
thin glass tube Is bent into the
shape of wide U or of an 8. The
tube is necessary when the arm
OF the donor and that of the pa
tient are lying side by side, the
hands pointing In the same direc-
ton. The u tube is necessary when
the donors hand is pointed toward
the patients shoulder.
The tube selected is sterilized by
boiling; 1t is then dropped into
melted paraffin, picked out with
sterile forceps, and all excessive
paraffin is carefully shaken off.
Then the tube is laid in sterile
gauze ready for use.
A vein of the patients arm is
exposed; two ligatures are passed
other in the lower angle of the
wound. The lower ligature is tied;
then vein in the donors arm is
exposed and two ligatures are
passed around 1t also. Here the
upper ligature is now tied.
The donors vein Is next opened
to introduce the tube into its lower
segment, and a lower ligature is
tied to keep the tube firmly In
place Then the donors arm is
brought close to the patients arm:
whereupon the patients vein is
opened and the tube Is introduced
into Its upper segment. The upper

TRY this" said good old Doctor Alb
ner Johnson down in Maine. Il made
that liniment special to stop the pains
Of muscular rheumatism" And it
stopped the pain. too! And that man
spoke about it to somebody else, who
used the liniment and passed the word
along to others. and so on until there
were so many wanted it the doctor had
to keep it on hand.
Then the neighboring stores began
selling it and it was called Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment. OF course you've
heard Of it, but maybe you didn't know
1t was a physicians own favorite Lin

And it's SO safe you can take 1t in
side for things like colds, coughs, sore
throat and bronchitis. And rub it on
outside to stop pain.
So whenever you want a liniment
for anything. be sure to get Johnson's

Avon, Maine wipes Out Its War Debt.
(Bangor Commercially

The comparatively large municipal
Indebtedness Of the town of Avon, most
Of which was incurred in the payment
Of bounties to the soldiers and the
Government during the Civil War, has
just been entirely wiped out. Town
Treasurer j. A. Norton has just taken
up the last Of the town Of Avon bonds.
At the town meeting the first Monday
in March there will be a simple cere-
mony in honor Of this event when the
last town bond will be burned In the
presence Of the citizens of the town.
The municipal Indebtedness, mostly &C
quired at the Civil War and added to
somewhat by the erection of buildings
and the advances made to the railroad
which runs through the town, the
Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Rail-
road, melted away slowly and many in
habitants believed that this generation
would not see it entirely dissolved.
Only 16 years ago, 1t was still in the
vicinity of $4,000, a comparatively
large amount considering that the pop
ulation Of the town at the time was
only 44S and its valuation $128,659. The
debt has been eliminated by constant
application. At the outbreak of the
Civil War the population Of the town
was 802. In the Civil War decade, from
1860 to 1870, the population decreased
from S02 to $40. and continued to de-
cline until in 1910 1t had reached the
law water mark of $50. On the hill
sides are many deserted farmhouses
and yawning cellars. 1t is now believ-
ed to be on the mend. The valuation
in the meantime has increased from
$120,977 in 1860 to $1s4,902 in 1910
Avon is Ia miles northwest Of Farm
ington, and is traversed by the State
highway to Rangeley and the line of
the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes
Railroad. The Sandy River divides II

KANSAS WILL HAVE
HER C0Nv|CTS WORK
ON THE PUBLIC ROADS

Kansas is to allow one day out of
every three off the sentence of every
prisoner who labors faithfully and
cheerfully upon the public roads. Road
work is to be organized at once and
the plan has the enthusiastic support of
J. K. Codding, the warden, who In
former years did much to better the
condition of Kansas prisoners and who
has just been reappointed to Office by
Governor Capper.
Warden Codding is a firm believer
in the opportunity afforded the convict
in road work. and he was instrumental
In securing the passage of the bill pro-
vidtng for the extra good time allow
ance for road work. He has written
the National Committee on Prisons
that the proposition Is to furnish 25
men and one Of the penitentiary Of
ficers to superintend the work and es-
tablish the road camps.
The municipality for which the work
is done is to pay the state 81 per day
per prisoner. About SO cents per day
will be used in feeding and caring for
the prisoner and the other so cents will
be paid the prisoner or his family. The
wage, together with the time off for
good conduct. is an evidence that Kan
sas is to organize the road work in a
way which will secure the cooperation
Of the prisoners towards making it a
success.
The National Committee on Prisons
hopes that cooperation between the
State highway department and State
prison department will be worked out
as in West Virginia and Ohio. Kansas
would then reap the full benefit from
the experiment Of placing her prisoners
out on the roads.

daughters. he is more than half-he is the
whole thing.
For this reason, next to constitutional
| vigor and good weight, the production OF
his dam should be considered. He should
come from high-producing hen, and to
| insure his ability to transmit high pro-
duction to his daughters. two-thirds or
more of his sisters daughters Of same
father should have proven themselves
good layers.
To swap ROSTERS, or introduce new
blood each year, does not mean progress.
Better to intensity the good one has. by
carefully selecting and breeding the best.
than to chance the introduction OF new
and unknown blood.
FEEDING THE BREEDERS.
Experience indicates that reducing ami
NAL food to a minimum improves the
Matching quality Of eggs. The Maine
Station now uses the following dry mash
during the breeding season: 200 lbs. bran,
100 lbs. corn meal. 100 lbs. feed flour, SO
lbs meat scraps, so lbs. bone meal.
In addition to this mash the regular
scratch grain is fed. It consists Of one
pint cracked corn and one pint wheat
and oats mixed, to each dozen birds.
Furthermore, they are supplied with
plenty of green food, especially sprouted
oats.
SIZE OF PEN.
With the American breeds high fertility
is usually secured when eight to II fe-
males are used with one male. 1t Is
best to wait a week or 10 days after mat
ing a pen before saving eggs for Matching.
CARE OF EGGS.
Eggs for Matching should not be held
much over three weeks. During that
time they ought to be kept out OF
draughts and in a cool place which is
not too damp. Probably the most con-
venient means of handling them Is in an
egg case. Each days gathering of eggs
is put into the filters, big end up. and the
case is then turned on it's side. Each sue
ceeding day, as eggs are put in. the case
is turned to it's other side. In this way
the eggs always rest on their side, are
turned conveniently each day, and are
we'll protected from draughts and chang
ing Temperatures by the insulation afford
ed by the filters of the case.

The most profitable pullets for the farm
docks are those which mature to lay ir
late October and early November. Birds
Of the American breeds to mature at this
time must be Matched between April Is
and May 10. or thereabouts. 1t is well te
have the breeding pens mated up before
the last Of February in order to allow
ample time to save eggs for incubation
If the first setting Is made before the
end Of March and incubators are used
they may be reflled in time to secure an
other hatch by the middle Of May.
WHICH HENS TO USE.
Under all conditions the first considera-
ton in selecting birds for breeding pen
is constitutional vigor and good health.
Weak chickens, those which are under
standard weight. or which have ever
been sick, are not fit to breed from. The
next consideration is their egg production.
especially the winter production of the
pullet year. trap-nest record is, OF
course. the only accurate measure OF
hens production. However. there are
methods of estimating, with fair degree
of accuracy, whether or not hen has
laid many eggs. The most reliable of
these is the shank color of yellow legged
varieties. The coloring matter in the
yolk Of eggs and in the birds shank is
Identical, consequently. high producing
pullet exhausts her body of coloring
matter and her beak and shanks become
faded and Furthermore, the heavier the
laying has been the greater will be the
amount of bleaching observed.
This point is especially useful in Sc
lecting yearly hens to retain as breeders.
At this time of the year, February. the
fading in pullets is not pronounced. yet
in the heaviest layers it is apparent in
the beak and from the loss of an orange
tinge in the yellow shank coloring
THE MALES IMPORTANCE
Recent Investigations have ascertained
and proved beyond doubt, thatTthe male
bird plays aSpare in the transmission OF
egg producing ability which has never
been understood nor appreciated. The
male constitutes one-half the flock in the
factors ordinarily considered in breeding
but in determining the productivity of his

BY SUSPENDED CAR.
c. e. Cromwell Would Do the Ken
nebee Ferrying at Bath.
oath Times Feb. 22.)

Oath Times Feb. 22)
Calvin E. Cromwell Of this city Mon
day afternoon made members of the
Times staff sit up and listen when he
unfolded plans with the aid Of draft
that he had with him on paper show
ing a novel aerial ferry between Wool
witch and Bath which would have cleo
tricity as its motive power.
Mr.. Cromwell's plan calls for the
erection on each shore of the Kennebec
at Bath and Woolwich of two tall steel
towers, each having their tops 200 feet
above the surface of the river at ex-
IRENE high water, and from these tops
a huge cable with immense trolley Is
strung across the river from which is
suspended a cable car say rs by 30 feet
dimensions. This car in the plan Is the
ferrying car in which teams, automo-
biles and passengers are to be ferried
across by electric power. The cable or
so many cables as are deemed neces-
sary for safety Of patrons in the car,
would be guyed in the Woolwich hills
or highlands in Bath. The car is sus-
pended in the plan by rods or cables
to the cable or cables far above and the
car is planned to be high enough from
the surface of the river to be above
the spray and ice Of the surface In the
most severe storms and highest run of
tides To be stable the car would be
weighted so that it would not be swung
by the most severe gales that blow.
o1oir hof
aerial trolley car would make so quick
passages, would be so great a saver
Of fuel and labor that it would be much
more economical than the present fer
ryboat Hockomock to run. To manage
it would require the services Of only
q conductor and motorman, like the
ordinary street electric car.
The originator Of the plan, Mr.. Crom-
we'll, says that he has simply thus far
reduced to drawings the plans and has
not himself. nor has anybody else fig
ured on the cost; but he insists that
the ferry Of his Imagination is as
practical as the Brooklyn bridge and
he believes that it would prove an &C.
onomical scheme.
Lest the reader condemn the plan
too hastily. it may be said that Mr..
Cromwell once invested system Of
water pressure in the. water works of
a Maine town, that was later discover
ed and patented and used, Mr.. Crom-
well claims, in the West.
However, the writer would hate to
be in such a car in the middle Of the
river on a trip in a dense fog and have

True there would be similar objection
to being on the Hockomock under the
same condition of the weather.
The landings would be as now on the
street levels of Woolwich and Bath.

Train RUN Even
ON A RAINY DAY
Bangor Commercially

Bangor's venerable citizen, Woodman
c. Pitman, whose death occurred last
week at the age of 9S years. had fund
of interesting stories connected with his
early experiences in railroading, when
railroads were so new as to be the great
wonder of the universe. He was familiar
with every detail of steam railroads,
from the earliest inception to the days
when they became well established in
modern conditions.
One of the incidents in his personal
recollection which he told with a good
deal of amusement was connected with
the early days of what is now known as
the Maine Central railroad system. When
the black road" it is, was and even now
is called, was built, running from Water
vile to Lewiston, it passed through a
farming country and the only persons
who could be secured to act as station
agents were naturally the farmers along
the line. The wages paid were not large
and only part of the time of the station
agent was required, as trains ran through
only about twice a day.
One stormy day, at a country station,
as the train was passing through at the
regular rate of speed-and that was not
excessive in those days-the station
agent suddenly ran out waving a signal
flag to stop the train. The engineer had
not been prepared for this, there having
been no signal previously displayed,
hence it required some time to stop the
train, which was then backed to the sta
ton.
Mr.. Pitman. conductor of the train
asked the station agent why he didn't
have his signal out in proper season
to which the agent replied in surprise
Gee, 1 didn't suppose you'd be along
