TO AVOID INJURY FROM BEES.

A wasp or bee swallowed, may be killed before it can do harm, by

taking a tea-spoonful of common salt dissolved in water. It kills the

insect and cures the sting. Salt, at all times, is the best cure for

external stings; sweet oil, pounded mallows, or onions, or powdered

chalk made into a paste with water, are also efficacious.

If bees swarm upon the head, smoke tobacco, and hold a empty hive

over the head, and they will go into it.
