If the hone ean be seen it may be taken out with the fingers. Sometimes a sharp blow on the back will dislodge it. If none of these methods avail mnedical aid imust be obtained. Fly in 1. - Eye-This is a very com Tnon oc(c(urrell-e in the sumnier time, (specially when e-yeling. When a fly get. into the eye gently rub the eyelid in one direction to bring the fly to the inner corner of the eye, and it will then be aible to be removed with the tingers. If this fails lift up one eyelid so as to gel the other under it to sweep it. Bleeding at the Nose-If this Is ex cessive it must be stopped at once The brow and nose should be bathed with the coldest vater possible. An upright position must be maintained, the liea-I thrown back and the arms raised. and ice or a cold piece of steel applied to the spine. Cuts-These are not dangerous un less the blood spurts out in jets, which shows that an artery has been sev ered. In this case press the wound with the thumb and send for a doctor. In the case of a simple cut, if torn and lacerated, wash well with cold water, and if any sand or glass be in it it must be carefully removed; then cut two or three pieces of sticking plaster, heat them over the fire, and one by one apply them to the wound to keep the edges together. Apply a piece of lint, and over this a bandage must be put. The cut must be kept clean, but the dressing should not be disturbed oftener than is actually necessary. Catching Fire-If a child's clothes catch fire it should be thrown down at once, and a hearthrug. blanket or any woolen article rolled around to extin guish the flames. Bruit,s-Apply a lotion of arnica as quickly as possible and continue for some time. Vinegar and water is also very excellent. 'A Jammed Finger-This is a very painful accident, but the best means of ~-elieving the pain is to keep the finger in as hot water as can be borne. Dog or Cat BWtes-If a child gets bit ten by a dy .re is no necessIty to rm' it, as there Is no animal is rabid at the time. The art bitten should be well washed in -ater to which a few drops of antiseptic .-d has been added, afterwvard suck the bi * . and wash again with sal'. and water.

The Charlotte Oil & Fertilizer Corn pany and the President of the Compa ny, Mr. Fred Oliver, of Charlotte, N. C., have again demonstrated on their farms what can be done towards profit abe wheat raising. The 230 acres which they had in wheat thisyear gave na a erage yield of 30 bushels pbr acre; one field of 80 acres gave an average yield of 84 bushels, another field of 90 acres gave an agerage yield of .33 bushels per acre. A field of 60 acres that was in wheat a year ago, sown by the former owner of the land, and which last year yielded only eight bushels per acre; thisyear gave an average y!ela of 24 bushels to the aere. With such an i! lustration of what can be done by pro fressive farming, why wili the majority of farmers continue to be satisfied, or, if not satisfied, continue to curse their luck when their crop of wheatturns out only five to ten buahels per acre? There is no reason, and in fact. it is a crimo for any farmer to throw away his time and land by growing such a poor crop, as the most of them now raise when they could treble and quadruple the yield by intelligent and progressive farming. They must use better mulea and ploughs to prepare the soil, using the best disc grain drills, having fertil izer distributors attached to plant and fertilize the wheat, using the best seed wheat even if it does cost a few cents per bushel more money, using not leis than 400 lbs. high grade complete fer tilizer per acreinstead of 100 lbs. of low grade acid and acid potash goods. Seed wheat that is free from broken and de fective wheat, and above all almost ab solutely free from cockle seed is worth twice as much for seeding as the seed wheat usually used. Still more im portant is the fact that seed wheat from a crop that gave a yield of 30 to 35 bush els per acre is superior to seed wheat from a crop that gave only five to ten bushels per acre. No farmer will at tempt to raise mules and horses to weigh 1,400 to 1,600 l bs. each and ex pect to succed if he uses for breeding, stock that weighs from 500 to 800 l bs. ; no breeder of high grade milch cows will expect to succeed except by using high grade stock. Last, but not least. they must use high grade fertilizer if the farmers expect to receive proper re turns from land and labor. Why be satisfied by using 100 lbs. per acre of cheap, low grade fertilizer when 400 lbs. of high grade fertilhzer will give an increase of 15 to 25 bu'hels per acre? It costs no more, or very little more, to prepare the land for a good crop than for a poor one; it costs no more to drill in good seed wheat, and400 lbs,of high grade fertilizer, per acre, than to drill in poor seed wheat and 100 lbs. of poor, cheap fertilizer per acre; it costs no more to cut an acre of good wheat with a reaping machine than it does to run the machine over an acre of poor wheat. and the reaping machine leaves less wheat in the field ungathered if the crop is a good one than it does if the crop is a poor one. The farmers of the south have the best market for their wheat, corn and hay of any section in the United States, as they can obtain the same prices as the western farmer plus the freight that is charged from the west to the south. Why not then farm on a profitable plan and not an unprofitable one? Use good stock and tools, good seed and fertilizer, good judgment and skill in handling labor and machinery, and above all work yourself as an example to your hired help, and you will fin dfarming profitable The Shlrt-Sl:eves Man and Others. vreceli-ed from a Russian lady In Ds f earniest entreaty to touch a matter whieb .. feely stirred cosmopolitan society in th town.

Japan and Camphor, Within a year the camphor trade of the world has become a monopoly. The trees which yield this fragrant and useful gumn are to bec found all over Asia and the East Indies, but the prin ipal production from them Is confined to the Island of Formosa. which be longs to Ja~pan. China was never atile to furnish more than 200).000 pounds a year, and .Japan now produces about 300.000jt. Formosa's annual output for several years past has been between .00.000I andl 7.,000,I)t pounds. Little is to be had at p~resent from any other souce, and there is no prospect of any change in the situation for a long time to come. In deciding to exercise control over the productionl of camphor, Japan has been actuatedl by two motives. In the first plae, she wants to obtain revenue therefrom, as France does from the match and cigar Industries. But she also seeks to avert the killing of the goose which lafs the golden eggs for her. -In other words, she has under takeni to protect the camphor forests, which were In danger of extinction. After Three Years. An extraordinary instance of the in stinct andl lidelity of the homing pigeon has just occurred at Northwich.

The race proved dis astrous, only one out of several hun dred. and that belonging to Mr. Wood ward, returning home the same day. Tils week the owner was astonished to discover that one of the lost homers had found its way back, and that on the same date as when liberated three years ago. The bird bore the racing ring which a'stablished his identity. London Globe. Salesman-"~These are the newest stylS in gloves. Perhaps you would like to see the French walking gloves.'
