THE MUSEUM GROWS.
DR., Kilgot's Report CT State Chemists Office,
Full and Interesting

In his report of the work done in the
office of the State Chemist. Prof B. W.
Kilgore has many valuable suggestions
The analysis, he says of 500 samples
OF food show large per cent adultera-
tion.
He states that the results obtained
from the best farms in the Eastern part
of the State indicate that nitrogen is
the constituent most needed by such
soils.
soil survey has been completed by
the division of soils of the United States
Department of Agriculture, of a strip
eight miles wide, and extending from
Raleigh to Newbern. There are approx
imately 900 square miles in this area,
and the cost to the department was about
$1,000, which is $1.16 per square mile, or
20 cents per acre. The results are being
recorded on maps, on which the different
soils are represented by different colors,
and the sections between here and New
bern will be shown on three colored maps,
each 1Sx25 inches.
This work is very popular and various
States are importuning Congress for in
creased appropriations North Carolina
will receive $4,000 next year, which is
more than any other Southern State.
The report of the entomologist states
that all the nurserymen of the State are
given certificates, showing that their stock
is apparently in good condition, and 100
shipping tags must be sent to each, bear
ing the wording of the certificate. Forty
four hundred tags have been thus sent
out, and certificates issued to the forty
four nurserymen. All nurserymen from
other States. who desire to ship stock into
North Carolina, are required to file their
certificates Of inspection in the office
and 100 tags are sent to each of them.
Sixty -eight hundred tags have been thus
sent out.
Mr.. II. H. Brimley, Naturalist and Gu
rator of the Museum, has a full report
He states that new impulse was given
The State Museum by the Worlds Fair
at Chicago. He says in June, 1894, the
new North Carolina State Museum OF
which any State might well feel proud
was opened to the public and given t
forward impetus that has never since
tagged.
"It was crowded from the start. With
skilled specialist at its head exhibits
were not slow in coming in and are
now properly prepared before being ex-
hibited BY 1897 there were pressing de-
mands for more space, and another annex
was built and rapidly filled, Now the
Museum has enough space for some lit
tie time to come, but, judging from past
experience, it will be but few years
before tn old cry fer more room viii
crop up. To show how public appre-
citation follows growth, it may here be
stated that in 1893 the number of visi-
tors was triHe over 4.$1. In the year
ending June 30, 1899, $4,000 people visited
the place, a more than ten-fold increase
in five years In the year ending June
80, 1900, the total number of visitors was
about sixty thousand"

Horace Greeley was lavish in his gifts,
often to most unworthy recipients, and

subject by even his closest friends says
a writer in Success. He loaned thou
sands of dollars to a scapegrace son Of
Commodore Vanderbilt, and when Van
derbilt appealed to him to stop it Gree
ley courtly closed the conversation by
saying he did not expect the commodore
to pay the loan.
In one of the mans conversations had
with him in his dingy Office in the old
Tribune building | yentured to suggest
that he was a more generous giver than
his means justified, to which he answer

Chair Older Thon Americo

There is in the possession of the Bing-
ley family Of Hanover, Pa, an armchair
that is older than America. With a his
tory that began 40 years ago, when it
was made in England, the chair has
well stood the test Of time. Kept as
an heirloom by the Bingley family, it has
been handed down for generations until
the present owner received it in 1913.
The chair is made of English oak, in
laid with several different kinds of 9th.
er wood, beautifully carved and very
heavy Its construction is typical Of
the time at which it was made. The
joints are mortised and tenoncd. while
wooden pins serve the purpose of screws
or nails of the present day. Though
made in the town OF Wakefield il re-
manned there only a short time, being
taken to Bingley, a town named after
the ancestors of the present oW'a5.
There the chair remained during tn
reign of 20 kings and queens, from Hen
ry VI to Victoria.
Finally, after a brief stay at Leeds, il
was taken to Manchester. In 1896 the
chair was brought TO this country on
the ship Mary Hale and was landed at
Baltimore Exchange.

Fancy and Utility.

The following extract is taken from
The Interstate Poultryman, and we
use it for the good common sense it
contains: The poultry publishing bust
ness has become one of the leading
enterprises of the country. There are
nearly 100 poultry journals printed in
the United States, ana there are many
very able papers devoted to this par
ticular industry. There seems to be
a clash between the practical and the
fancy poultry press, a condition which
should not exist The practical poul-
try press does not believe in scrub
stock, but advocates the breeding Of
the best poultry and the Improvement
of stock more for utility in meat and
egg production than the particular
marking for feathers. combs, ear lObes
etc. AS the breeding of thoroughbred
poultry advances this theory will pre-
vail. 1t is our opinion that the time is
not far distant when poultry must take
its place on the pedigree list the same
as horses, cattle, hogs and sheep. Ger
tain general markings will be required
but the main points to be reached will
be quantity and quality of meat ana
eggs. We suggest that the leading
breeders of the country turn their at
tention in this direction and let Amer
lea be the first TO place the poultry in
dustry in the catalogue where it be-
longs.

TOO Much Fat.

Texas Farm and Ranch says: 1t is
our experience that chickens cooped to
fatten. if literally fed, soon begin to
lose appetite and will eat less and less
1he longer they are confined, just as
n man would. or any other animal
The hens will remain in the condition
they are in when the appetite fails, but
will hardly take on more fat. BY the
way, fowls can be made too fat, just
as a hog can or a beef can. This is
all right if grease is what is wanted,
but all wrong if flesh is wanted. Here
after we shall not coop fowls to fattcn,
but place them where they can have
ample exercise to insure good digestion,
good health and good appetite. When
an animal is too fat, it is diseased
Without exercise the cffete matter can
not be eliminated and passed off, the
pancrcas are overstimulated, the liver
overworked and congested, and we
Ion't want that sort of animal food.

In China all fence gates that swing

out. In China all doors that swing open
outward. In America doors open in

The reason given for swinging gates
