BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
HORSE RAISING IN THE WEST
DISCUSSED.
STATE VETERINARIAN TO STUDY SUBJECT
The Old Agricultural Building t, b. RemOdeled
and improved. Corporation Commits
ion Given additional Of
flee Room,

The Board of Agriculture yesterday
completed Its work and adjourned.
Appropriations made during the meet
ing amounted to $4,000.
As noted in yesterdays paper, an APP
preparation of $500 was made for in
vestigation Of the practcability of drain
ing the lowlands of the Roanoke.
The other appropriation was $1,000
for cooperation with the Federal Gov
eminent i'll properly representing the re-
sources of this State at the Paris Ex
position in 1900.
This appropriation will be expended
in the divisions of Agriculture, Horticul-
ture, Forestry, Mines and Mining and
Fisheries. The idea is simply to empha-
size the North Carolina portion of the
National exhibit by putting in some
striking exhibits from this State. With
the National exhibit as basis very
good State exhibit can be made on ST.
500
The State Veterinarian was instructed,
in future work in the western part of
the State, to study conditions of that
section with view to making it a
great horse-producing region. He is di-
rected to study not only the native
grasses, but to report what kind of ami
mails are best adapted to the section.
The Commissioner of Agriculture was
instructed to have such chronological
work done as he should deem advisable
to- eradicate the San Jose scale and
other pests, both on fruit trees and in
crops This work will be done, for the
present, by Gerald Mccarthy, formerly
State Botanist.
1t was decided to give the Corpora
ton Commission, now very much in need
of more room all the additional space
asked for in the rear of it's present
offices and in the basement for storing
its records.
Architects plans outlining the building
proposed to be done during the coming
year were displayed before the board and
examined. These plans contemplate the
removal of the Halifax street walls of
the older building and replacing them
with walls that are safe. Also the front
of the building is to be 50 remodeled as
to make it present very handsome
appearance. When this Us done, the new
Museum Annex having been completed,
the old building will be used entirely for
offices and the space occupied by the
chemical laboratory will be enlarged
These plans were quite favorably COM
mented upon, though no action as to
adopting them was taken.
This completed the business before the
board, and it adjourned to meet again
on the first Wednesday in December
which is one of the semi-annual meetings
fixed by law. At that meeting appro-
priations for the next six months will be
made.

Blankets of Bark.

In Ecuador. one of the South Ameri-
can republics. the bark of a tree which
grows on the slopes of the Andes is
utilized for the making of blankets.
The blanket is over six feet long and
over five feet wide and is as soft and
pliable as though it were made of fan
mel 1t is about the thickness of good
flannel blanket and can be rolled up and
put in strap without hurting or injuT-
ing it.
This tree or bark blanket is merely q
strip of bark cut from section of the
trunk of the blanket or demajagua tree.
The Indians make cutting around the
trunk to get it. and they prepare it by
soaking it in water until it is soft. 1t
is then pounded so that the rough ont
side can be stripped off and the inside
alone left. The inside is of fine fibers so
Joined together by nature that it makes
a beautiful blanket, warm enough to
be used as n cover and soft enough for
a mattress.

How BALLOONS Are Made.

Balloons are manufactured OF god
bcater's skin. which. though small toy
ones had been made of it, could not be
produced in sufficient quantities for the
large balloons until Colonel Templer in
vented and perfected the process, which
is briefly as follows:
The gold beater's skin is made up of
quantities of a certain thin animal
membrane $50, 900 Of these are required
for a balloon of 10. cubic feet ca
pacity), which is first freed from all
fatty substances and then soaked in a
solution of glycerin and water. They
are then applied TO boards cut in the
form and to the size of the gore of the
balloon required Others are then super
posed, until thickness of four layers
has been reached great care being taken
that no air bubbles remain between the
skins. After this fourth layer a method
of strengthening is resorted to in the
shape of a net manufactured of skin.
After this net two or three more layers
of membranes are applied.
The whole is then allowed TO dry, and
a solution of boiled linseed oil is used as
a vaFnish. The fabric is then quite in
dissoluble, and the membranes cannot
by any possible means be separated from
one another. but sometimes, to render
this homogeneity the more perfect, So
luton of bichromate of potash is sponged
over the fabric. Mall Magazine.

beautiful viennese women.

Vienna. the capital of Austria. is
chiefly noted for producing three things
coffee. music and women. The word
''jolly" describes the temper of the
Viennese woman most aptly. She lives
only for today and lets the morrow take
care of itself. She is as good house
keeper as her German sister, but not
quite SO particular. She is quite as eco
nomical, but dresses herself more artis-
tically. She is just as good n mother
but a more loving wife. She is some
what nervous. and the quarrel with her
husband is as regular as the amen in
her prayer. The truest and prettiest
type of the beautiful Viennese woman
is that which comes from the south. In
common with the majority of her Euro
pean sisters, the Viennese makes mar
riage her goal. but retains her girlish
ways, her jolly spirit and much of her
beauty, and even to guess at her age is
not only crime, but an absurdity.-

With the Fading of Beauty.

A 16-year-old girl imagines that she
is an angel. and never gets over it.
After a woman gets old she thinks of
how she was admired and compliment
ed in her youth and feels that some
great wrong was done her because she
did not remain as pretty as she was at
10. If she is married, she is apt to lay
the blame on. the brutality of her hus-
band; if she is an old maid. she lays it
on her father. who was poor. and thus
forced her to work. which resulted in
STOPPING figure and harsh features.
A man never has this experience. He
is at his worst at 1 g and does not reach
his best until he is 20 to So By that
time he has acquired little sense. and
never mistakes a compliment for the
truth. -Atchison Globe.

A Missing Link,

1t will doubtless surprise many who
have never even heard of the brute that
there still exists on the island of Java
an animal. or rather a reptile. which
seems to be the missing link between
the ichthyosauri of prehistoric days and
the well known saurians of modern
times.
This animal is known to the Javanese
as ''hnguin. 1t fell to the luck of
Baron Alfonso Pereira. consul general
of Austria Hungary. to shoot one of
these beasts some years ago. Its length
was between nine and ten feet, and it
looked cross between snake and a
crocodile. Though the beast was cut
and wounded in its encounter with
Baron Pereira it did not bleed.
