DEVELOPMENT BEAUTY.
The Influence of had bread UpOr
ones Looks.

Leaving out the vexed question of
coarse versus fine -four, all physicians
agree that fermeEted breads eaten
the same day they are baked are
pernicious. Yet the rule all over the
country is to use bread raised to the
last degree, not fully baked for fear
of losing weight and eaten fresh as
possible.
The result is Indigestion, which
hacks and wrecks the nervous sys-
TEN, loss of nutrition, which involves
falling of hair, decay of teeth, weak
sight, dull and thick compilations,
bad tempers and tired brains.
Beyond this great point touched
upon lie those of securing clean
streets and pure air for our towns,
pure water for our reservoirs, better
light in cities, reasonable hours of
lebor and freedom from avoidable
uncertainties of life and income.
These are all factors in the develop
ment of beauty.

The Story of His North Carolina

Tne story OF HIS North Car a
AncestOry.
Corr. Charlotte Observer.
Years ago Abraham Enloe, with
his family, left Lincoln county and
settled in Jackson county, this State.
Among his household was a young
girl named Nancy Hanks. During
the year Miss Hanks showed signs of,
not known then to bea coming Presi-
dent, but what is greater, a coming
sovereign or sovereigness, as the case
may have been. 1t turned out to be
both a sovereign and President.
A daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Enloe
lived in Kentucky. This particular
summer she visited her parents in
Jackson county. While there she
saw, not only coming events" but
the actual situation.
The good daughter, to relieve mat
tiers at home, took Miss Hanks with
her to her Kentucky home, and, in
the course of time, as just such
things will happen, a boy was born
who was named Abram, not Abra-
ham. This name ssAbram" was all
The name he had for while, because
he neither had "father or mother"
OF words to that effect, until a sensi-
Ii man named Lincoln came along,
took a fancy to Miss Hanks, and her
boy Abranl, and married her. The
boy, FROM his marriage, became
Abram Lincoln.

When bisulphide of carbon has been used fol-
destroying the insects in buggy peas can these
peas be afterward fed to hogs with safety
Also, how much of the bisulphide should one
apply TO a bin of 100 bushels of peas ?-G. B..
Lexington N G.
answered by Gerald Mccarthy, Entomoligist
Experiment Station.
The use of carbon bisulphide in gram,
peas, or any other food substance, has
no effect whatever upon the whole
someness of the substance, provided
that the carbon bisulphide is allowed
to thoroughly evaporate before the
substance is used for food. Usually
two or three hours exposure to the air
is all that is needed.
The quantity of the chemical to use on
100 bushels of peas will depend some
what upon the tightness of the YES
sci or bin in which the treatment is
made. 1t You use a hogshead, or
equally tight box, and cover with a
heavy cloth lido not use rubber or oil
c1oth), you will find three to four ia
blespoonfuls sufficient. Let the seeds
stand covered for "a hours, then ex-
pose freely to the air until no odor of
the bisulphide is apparent. Beware
of exposing this chemical to the fire
1t is extremely explosive.

Best Method of Keeping Irish Potatoes.
VIII you please give me the hes. method to
keep Irish potatoes from rotting after they are
dug, If you have such information at your com
mand. want to put them up so as to keep for
winter use. This is why want the best meth
cd to do it-P A. B., Durham, N G.
answered by W. f. Massey, Horticultural Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Early potatoes grown in this climate
cannot well be kept later than Christ
mas. You should raise fall crop for
winter keeping, which keep with ease
when put in dark place and kept only
few degrees above the freezing point
One great reason for failure to keep
potatoes is that hey are kept too
warm. A cold that will make ice on
water will not hurt potato in bar
rel. If they could be kept in a uni
form atmosphere f 33 to 35 degrees.
they would be all the better Another
reason for failure is keeping them in
too light place. Potatoes should be
kept in total darkness, and should be
put into total darkness as soon as pos
sible after digging. Not ray of sun
light should be allowed to reach them
at any time. A few hours summing in
the patch, while digging, will spoil
the best Irish potato. The early crop
may be kept until the late crop is
ready, by careful management. Dig
them when the soil is dry, and at once
spread in a cool dark cellar. In few
days overhaul them, and pick out the
rotten ones, and then sprinkle air
Stacked lime all through the heap, and
do not pile too deeply. If kept cool
and dark, they will do until Christmas,
when they will soon get worthless from
sprouting.

- THEM rney D1Je anu SUCK the UT0ou.
They often swarm in such vast num-
bers that the animals are rapidly de-
pleted in flesh. Milk cows. especially
thin-skinned Jerseys, suffer cruelty,
and often fall off one-half or more in
milk. The insect does not seem to
trouble horses or other animals.
This fly lays its eggs in the fresh
droppings of cows, and these hatch in
to tiny whitish maggots, which live
in the dung three or four days. They
then burrow half inch or so into the
ground beneath the manure, and re-
main quiet for about five days, at the
end of which they emerge as winged
flies. The number of generations in
season will depend upon its length
In the South there may be twelve or
fifteen.
This fly has habit of settling
around the base of the cows horns,
about its eating the horn. The fly has
no jaws. 1t can pierce with its lance,
and suck with its proboscis, but never
Injuries parts except where blood may
be found. 1t settles upon the horns to
rest, as the COW cannot easily dislodge
them from this place. When after food
it settles, by preference, between the
shoulders, along the belly and udder.
Also, along the escutcheon,'' and at
base of tail.
Remedies Remove all fresh drop
pings as soon as possible from stable.
In pastures it will pay to send a man
through every two or three days, and
sprinkle kerosene oil or emulsion on
all fresh droppings. Fresh powdered
lime will do as well, but lime decom-
poses the nitrates, and causes the loss
of the most valuable part of the ma
nure.
AS preventive measures, rub the
parts where the flies most congre-
gate with axle grease, or tallow, to
which has been added a little crude
carbolic acid. or use fish oil. This will
drive the flies away, but the applica-
ton must be renewed once week.

D. c. NJ, Ashpole, N. C..
Answered by Gerald Mccarthy, Entomologist

(! The insects are the corn bill-bug,
(sphenophorous sculptilis.) This is a
semi-aquatic insect, which breeds in
rotten, wet wood. 1t is never trouble
some on high or dry ground. The rem
edy is drainage where possible, keep
ing low fields free from rotten wood,
and planting corn only on uplands
in localities where this insect is known
to be oublesome. To save the pres
ent crop small handful of the kero-
