Antitoxin for Fourth of July
The (57 tetanus antitoxin stations
throughout the Commonwealth have
received their supplies from the De
partment of Health and are ready
to meet the usual Fourth of July
demands.
The antitoxin will be furnished
without cost to the poor and the
stations are so located that every
part of Pennsylvania is within easy
reach of one. It is essential that
the tetanns antitoxin be adminis
tered within 24 to 48 horn's after
the wound has l>een inliicted.
Any physician can secure an im
munixing dose of 1500 units free
upon applying to a distributing
station, on certifying that it is for
the treatment of a person too poor
to pay.
In urging the prompt use of an
titoxin to prevent lock-jaw follow
ing explosive and other wounds,
Dr. Dixon Commissioner of Health
says:
"Do not consider any such
wounds trival, send for a physician
at once. If it is impossible to
promptly secure his attendence,
wash out the wound thoroughly
with hot, boiled water, remove
every particle of foreign matter and
until the doctor arriver, apply a
wet dressing; clotlis saturated with
a solution made by adding a tea
spoon full of salt to a pint of boiled
water."
The Antitoxin is in the hands of
A. H. Busclihausen, Laporte, for
Sullivan County and can be gotten
from him.
For the Onion Worm
It appears that the onion plants
are unsualy badly attacked this
year by maggots or worms which
feed within them,
A prominent horticulturist in
the eastern part of Pennsylvina
wrote to State Zoologist Surface,
at Harrisburg. asking what to do
for this pest, and received the fol
lowing reply which will be read
with interest by all persons who
have gardens:
' 'The insect attacking your onions
is, no doubt, the onion Maggot or
onion Worm, it is best prevented by
pouring a quart of kerosene oil into
a half bushel of sand and stirring it
well and scattering it over the
ground around the plants at the
time the onions are set out, this
repels the fly which lays the egg
from which the maggot hatches.
There is no remedy after the onion
is once infested, The addition of a
little turpentiue to the kerosene also
increases the repelling value, The
sand can be scattered very thinly
indeed quite near to the newly set
plants or onion sets.''

To Produce Good Grapes
A Lebanon county grape grower
wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface, and
asked him whether he should spray
his grapes or bag them. The re
ply of Professor Surface is as follows:
"It is possible to spray your
grapes with arsenate of lead and
Bordeaux mixture and have good
results. Use three pounds of blue
stone and three pounds of lime in
fifty gallons of water to make the
Bordeaux mixture. To this add
two pounds of arsenate of lead.
Spraying once every two or three
weeks during the principal part of
the growing season will be sufticent,
and will give you good returns.
"Of course, putting them in paper
bags gives excellent protection, and
if a person has only a few vines, I
would recommend bagging them.
This is done by pinninga two-pound
bag around each cluster of grapes
shortly after the blossoms fall. It
-keeps away insects and disease
germs, and also it keeps the grapes
nice and clean. When you have
more than can lie economically bag
ged, the best treatment is to spray
them well and thoroughly."

13-Year-Old Boy Kills Bis
perhead With a Ston*,
Francis Damond, the 13-year-i
son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis
Damond, who resides northeast
Williamsport, yesterday killed <
of the largest copperhead sna
that has been slain in that sect
for years.
The boy was sent to the ]
house and as he approached he i
a large snake crawling from un
it. He quickly dispatched the i
tile with a stone and when it
measured it was found to be al
live feet in length. The body
as large as a man's arm.
Francis was accompanied at
time by his three-year-old brot
