WINSTON-SALEM.
NORTH ClhROLINA'S SUPER
iATINE TWIN-CITY.
The Place People are Looking
tn for Homes and Investment.

The GOLD LEAF has already eX-
pressed the opinion that Wnston-Saiem
is the sofidest town i'll North Carolina,
and to-day it gives a few facts and
figures to show the faith that Is III It,
In the supplement we issue partial
attempt has been made to show the
basis for the Twin-Citles' development.
Where there are SO many causes that
havea contributed to the phenomenal
growth of WinstOn-Salem. where there
is so much that might be said OF Its
marvellous progress along ALI lines OF
trade, manufacturing and commercial
greatness, it is impossible in the limited
space set apart to cover the ground
entirely and do the subject iuli and
ample Justice as we would like. How
ever. enough is said to show why
capital is seeking investment there and
why so many people from distance
are going there to make Their homes
and to better their condition.
While the growth of Wnston-Salem
has been steady and rapid there has
been no boom. The business and
moneyed men of the place have guard
ed against al ything of the kind. They
want no mushroom city, no fictitious
values of real estate, no undue excite
ment. 1t mist be Il steady, solid ant
substantial development, based upol
sound, practical, common sense ant
business methods or not at all. tpol
this all are agreed, and upon this prin
ciple all WORK together for the common
good of the Two towns. And there /
no reason WHY it should be otherwise
They have tie foundation upon whlc

and permanC nee that is OF Itself rea'

Spring Dwinhlinr of lees.

At the annual meeting of the Inter
national Beekeepers' association the uues-
ton was asked, is spring dwindling
greater when bees are wintered inside
than out of doors" A. |. Root said
that when the bees were wintered ont of
doors and had chance to fly every
month they came out stronger and were
better able to 60 through April. Err.
Root thought that the loss from spring
dwlndling was greater when wintering
indoors, as the bees in the cellar We're
often suffering from the temperature
being too hot or too coda matter over
which the beekeeper had but little con-
troll. John Nan said that in severe
winters the bees wintered better indoors
In mild winters out of doors. He did
not put h,s bees in the cellar unless the
temperature got very low early in the
winter. r. Mcknight had wintered both
ways for about ten years, and found that
they dwindled more when wintered in
the cellar. He thought the cause was
the lack of proper ventilation TO the
cellar He thought the weak looking
condition of the bees wintered in the
cellar was due 10 their i'll health, owing
TO the lack of pure air during the CON
tinement. He thought, however. that in
hard winters cellar wintering could be
carried on with less loss than outdoor
wintering

and 81 feet wide. Front post 8 feet high,
rear posts 6 feet high. The floor is 81
teet from ground. above which is drop

Is made by using two pieces of s-inch

the panes of glass slid into the grooves.
They should be placed close together in
winter, but in summer can be slid few
inches apart to admit air. A few stats
should be nailed back of them to pre-
vent accidents from domestic evictions.
The roosts are feet above the floor,
Is or 90 inches apart, and are secured
at the ends by nails. The laying room
Is attached to the north end, which
affords a double protection to the
sleeping department, besides being very
convenient for storeroom. Its advan-
stages are that in gathering eggs or look
ing after ''sitters" you are in a clean
room, and do not have to disturb the re-
mainder of the flock. This part may be
made 10 feet long and feet wide, ex-

The Best Quality of Bacon.

The best quality of bacon cannot be
made of meat that is not well drained of
its blood, says American Agriculturist.
Meat that Is intended for the best quail
ity of bacon should be thoroughly bled.
and butchering, by which act the main
artery is cut, does this in the most eff
fectual and speedy way. 1t rids the
meat of the largest percentage of blood,
and leaves it in that condition that is
best for curing and keeping well.
Herein lies defect, and a serious one.
in much Of The ordinary bacon and salt
pork Of the day. II is not Invested of
its blood. In fact, it is no doubt the aim
with most packers to retain the blood
IN order to have the meat weigh heavier.
This practice, opposed as it certainly is
to both Scripture and sound hygienic
rules, cannot be too severely condemned
The old Jewish law strictly forbids the
eating of blood, and doubtless some of
the diseases and ills Of mankind at the
present day might be traced TO the blood
retained in the flesh when straightforward
