There is great danger of blood
poisoning if a hog bites the flesh.
There is no poisou in the hog's teeth
as there is in the fangs of a poisonous
snake. It is rather the poison which
comes from the saliva, as the hog is a
very indiscriminate feeler and not at
all cleauly. When a hog is made
angry the amount of this saliva ia
greatly increased, nud the danger is
greater. Even a alight contusion
from a hog's tooth should be prompt
ly washed out with some antiseptic.
Dilute carbolic, acid, one part of the
acid to 2000 of water, is good and al
ways a reliable antiseptic. Home
should always be kept where it can be
handily procured, to put oa cuts or
outside injuries received on any part
of the body. It will greatly hasten
their healing.

Convinoed that he should follow the
advice of those who know bow to im
prove the flock of fowls, the farmer is
naturally anxious to know what the
cost of new blood will be. If the
flock is the ordinary farm stock,
mainly mongrels, and the grade is to
be raised chiefly from egg production,
new blood of a dollar a head will be
good enough. If the stock already
on hand is of one breed and of fairly
good quality, and the new blood ia
desired to add to the size of eggs or
to increase egg production or size of
coming chicks, then stock at four or
even Bve dollars a head is none too
good. If fancy fowls are wanted, bred
to the standard, then he must expect
to pay anywhere from ten dollars up
per bird. But where you can get
stock which will add to the value of
that you already have. If increased
egg production is wanted, buy front
breeders who are willing to guarantee
that their stock is all tbey claim for it
iu the matter of egg production. If
weigut and markings are desired, buy
from those making a specialty of these
points. Last, but by no means least,
not be fouled by the claim that north
ern bred stock is necessary to add
value to southorn flocks, or vice versa.
It is ugreed that certain seods north
ern grown are best for southern plant
ing, but the claim will not hold good
water with poultry. Buy whore you
can get the best value for your money
and the nearer home the better, other
things being equal. Atlauta Journal.
Lima as at Fertiliser.
Those who believe that Ume is
necessary as a fertilizer, and their
opinions are'not based upon actual
tests of the soil, they would do well to
test it. Htir np four or five touspoon
fuls of the soil with enough water to
make a thick paste. Allow it to stand
fifteen minutes. Then part the soil
with a knife blade and insert one end
ot a strip of distinctly blue litmus
paper (to be had at any apothecary
store), pressing the soil about the pa
per. After five minutes romove the
paper carefully in order not to tear it
and rinse quiokly with water. If the
bine eolor has disappeared and a red
one taken its plaoe, the need of lime
is probable. The fingers should never
be to ached to the end of the paper to
be inserted in tho soil, for they alone
will redden it intensely. "
It would also jt well to test as fol
lows: Take two glasses, place three
teaspoonfuls of soiUa oaoh and add
water till half full; to one glass add
two teaspoonfuls of ammonia waler,
to be obtained of any druggist,
stir both thoroughly and again five
minutes later. Allow thera to settle
and it the one to which ammonia was
added gives a black inky looking
liquid, and the other Bottles out nearly
clear, farther evidence of the need of
time is given.
The first test should be relied npon
if but one is nsed, bat if the seooud
agrees withHho first, the case is so
muoh the more certain. Where lime
is lacking, beet leaves often turn red
and many of the young plants die;
lettuce plants also often do the same.
On light, sandy soil from 1000 to
2000 pounds of air-slaked lime may be
applied on tho furrows and harrowed
in, preferably in the autumn. Ou
heavier soil from one to two tons per
sore may be nsed in this manner. On
heavy and moist soils, there is less
danger from spring applications than
on light ones. If air-slaked lime is
not to be had, ordipary builders' lime
will answer, only the quantity may be
reduced in that case to about two
thirds the amount ' Plaoe the lumps
in piles of forty to fifty pounds each
and oover with moist soil. Id a few
days it will be sufficiently slaked so
that it can be spread with a shovel.
Harrow or odltivate in the lime atonoe.
Ii there are any lumps, repeat the har
rowing or cultivating after two or three
days, when they will .have slaked so
that the lime can be mixed with the
soil. If the land is very dry, sprinkle
eaeh pile with about half a pail of
water before covering it with soil.
Twice as muoh of wood ashes as of air
slaked lime, will also answer.
Potatoes planted on limed land
should be treated with corrosive sub
limate solution or formalin to prevent
"soab." Watermelons should, if pos
sible, be planted on unlimed laud, or
where the lima has been applied two
or three years .previously. American

Old Iron Anvil with Bladga Mammas

One ot the queerest tombstones ever
designed to mark the grave ot a man
Is now on exhibition at the ship hard

John O. Angelo, nn 84-year-old ship
smith of Pocomoke City, Md. Angelo
was born at Woodbury, N. J., on Aug.
2, 181 5, and began bis apprenticeship
as a blacksmith on June 28, 1828. When
he had served out his apprenticeship
and reached the age of 21 yoara his
employer presented him with the an
vil and hammer on which he bad done
hla first work. He has used It contin
ually ever since. A few weeks ago he
conceived the Idea of using It aa his
tombstone, so he made an Iron handle
for the old hammer and fastened It
with a metal peg to tho top ot the
anvil. He also attached three links
to the handle of the hammer, which
Is supposed to Indicate that he Is an
Odd Fellow. He then sent tho anvil
and Its attachment to the Whiting firm
to galvanize, In order that It inlRht
not be rusted away by exposure to the
weather over his grave. It was a dim
cult task, and It had to be dipped In
a mass of seventy tons of molten sine
before It was successfully accomplish
ed. He wrote to the firm not to spare
any expense to make a good Job of It,
but they will make no charge for their
work. Angela Is still working every
day for two shipyards at Pocomoke
City and Is as hale as the youngest of
the men about the yards. He Is a skil
ful workman, and although bent with
age, he wields a heavy sledge with

WITH a better underatandlng of the transient nature of the many physical Ills which vanish before proper
efforts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There Is comfort In the knowledge that so many
forms of Illness are not due to any aetual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which
the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That Is why It Is the only semedy with millions
of families, and Is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to
the fact that It Is the only remedy which promises Internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which
It acts. It la, therefore, all-Important, In order to get Its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase that you
have the genuine article, which Is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
THE HIGHEST OBJECT
Of the art of advertising Is to correctly Inform the public of the merits of any article, and truthful statements
aiwaya prove most crrective in time. The valuable reputation acquired by
the California Fig Syrup Co. by reason of the excellence of the pleasant
laxative remedy. Syrup of Figs, which It manufactures, confirms the state
ment, which the company freely makes, that the best of remedies only
should be used when needed by the human system. The more one takea
of salts and pills the more conatlpated the syatem becomes, while on the
other hand one enjoys both the method and the results when Syrup of
Figs Is taken; It la pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently
yet promptly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleanses the system effec
tually, dispels colds, headaches and fevers and overcomea habitual consti
pation permanently; also biliousness and the many Ills resulting therefrom.
Tha great trouble with all other purgatives and aperients la not that they
fail to act when a single dose Is taken, but that they act too violently and
Invariably tend to produce a habit of body requiring constantly augmented
doses. Children enjoy the pleasant taste and gentle action of Syrup of
Figs, the ladies And It delightful and beneficial whenever a laxative remedy
la needed, and bualneas men pronounce it Invaluable, aa it may be taken
without Interfering with business and does not gripe nor nauseate.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

to the care and skill with which it Is manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and therefore we wish to Im
press on all the Importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.

Jeweled Eyeglasses.
.Delicate eyes are now considered an
opportunity for using jeweled eye
glasses. A fashionable jeweler has
contrived - fnncy spectacles heavily
mounted in elaborately chased Roman
gold. To them Is attached a long,
equally elaborate gold handle. They
are then held to the eyes precisely'
after the fashion of a lorgnette. Sin
gle eyeglasses are daintily set In all
manner of pretty styles, the rims
studded with jewels, the glasses them
selves being oval, square or round,
according to the preference of the
owner. Lorgnettes are massive with
gold and brllllnnt with gems. This
fad is taking Immensely with elderly
women who wish to avoid the appear
ance ot age. There are to be no more
slender gold bows resting upon old la
dles' ears. These will be only for tie
