LITTLE EMERGENCIES
It is not unusual for -small boys
?who j?o fishing, to set a fish-hook
imbedded m some part of the boy
instead of the fish; due to. cafoieu
handling of the fishing-tackle. |
Crochet tooks are unpleasant
jrce*,tv when deeply seated. I re
cently attended a lady who sat down
a porch swing that held a bundle
o f tatting, the crochet hook was
driven more than an inch into her '
hip. A man. whr was rummaffine |
on n c)o*?t shelf above the level of |
hi seye*. encountered an old crochet !
hook Which penetrated the palmar (
rnrface Of Ms. thumb. He feinted j
promptly and a rush ca'l came in
arr*icipati. n cfa deetf incision to re
move th* offender.
. l?verv family should have a medi-,
cV? kit. which includes a safe, e
antiseptic. In the event of
wounds- like the above, anyone can.
Vv manipulation, push the point of
the offender out through the >kin:

merit, the barb can then be cut cri
broken off, and the extraction easily j
m;de in two minutes; the wound J
?hould- then be thoroughly soaked J
with the antiseptic, and a light]
dressing applied. |
- Forcing a fish-hook ?ut through I

ONE can't feel Wrll when there is
a retention of poisonous waste
in the blood. This- is called a toxic
condition,, and is apt to mr.ke one
"tired, dull and languid. Other symp
toms are sometimes toxic bccksches
and headaches. That the kidneys arc
not functioning . properly is often
shown by'scanty or burning passage
of secretions. Many people have
learned the value of Doan'a Pills, a
stimulant diuretic, when the kidneys
seem -functionally inactive. Every

Draught and when it nets well, I
get up feeling like new ? 'full of
pep' and ready for any land of
work.

litter contest by M. L. Hanse of the
Reedy Qrse\ township in Davidson
County on arch 4. 192o wei^id 20
73 pounds on September 2 accord
ing to C. A. Sheffield, county agent
of Davidson Ccunty.
"Mr. Hanes has proven himself
to be one of our best hog feeders,"
Rays Mr. Sheffield. "The eight pigs
which he entered in the ton litter
contest were a cross between the
Berkshire and Poland China ty-eds.
They were fed according: t: methods
advocated by the swine extension of
fice aV-6tate College and were fed
for 180 days. At the end of the
period, the eight animals weighed
2073 pounds cr a naverage of 259
1-2 pounds each. They made an
average daily gain of 1 44 pounds
per day from the time cf farrowing
until six months of age. Mr. Hanes s
might have exceeded even this record !
hade he not overfed for one period
the amount of shorts called for in
bis schedule. The amount of fish J
meal was lower than the schedule |
called for, but was supplemnted with
skimmilk."
Mr. Sheffield states that there
were three boars and five sows in
the litter. The heaviest pig was a
barrow weighing 303 pounds while
the lightest was a sow weighing 206
pounds. Eash of the three barrows
weighed much more than any one
of the five sows The total cost of
the feed given the animals was
$119.87 or a cost of 5.8 cents per
pound to produce the pork. On the
day the contest closed Mr. Hanes
could have a: Id his pigs for a little I
over $300. Deducting the cost of
feed and $48 for (fight p$f?s, six
weeks oid, Mr. Hanes still has left
a profit of $13213 for his labor in
addition to the plant food left cn the
farm. This plant food is valued at
ab^ut $50.
The pigs are now being fed a slop,
mixture to further ir?cr?*ase their
weight and will be dressed and soldi
as sausage on the Winston -Salem
chrb market about October*,
