NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
Unbiased and Competent Archi-
tect and Builder Pronounces
Them Safe and Well
Constructed

Whereas a report has been widely
circulated that the new school build
ings recently erected, were fatally
defective in construction as to their
safety, the Building Committee
deemed it wise to secure the opinion
of a reliable and competent builder
and to get his report ON same.
We secured the services Of Mr.. j.
D.. Elliott, who was highly recon-
mended to us as an expert, he being
a large contractor and doing a great
deal of construction work for the
Southern Railway Company, and af-
ter having examined these buildings
he makes the report hereunto at
tached.
Respectfully,

DEAR SIR:-I beg to report that
in compliance with your request, I
examined on Saturday, the Goth inst.
the two school buildings being erect
ed by the City Of Goldsboro, and af-
ter a reasonably thorough ~investiga-
ton, I have no hesitation in stating
that they are, in my opinion, abso-
lutely safe in their construction.
do not believe that they can or
will be subject toany possible weight
or strain which would render them
otherwise.
In regard to the construction ofthe
roofs, if the roof on the south build
ing had an additional centre brace
from the over head joist to the comb
then all partitions in this building
could be removed without endanger-
ing in the slightest degree the
strength or safety of the building.
The roof on the north building is,
in my Judgment, perfectly safe, anG
the construction all right. I suggest.
ed to your foreman that it might be
well enough to add six or eight ex-
ira braces to this roof, not that [ re
gard them as essentially necessary
for it is entirely safe in it's presen-
condition, but they would be no de.
triment to the roof, and would only
serve to make it stronger.
AS to the partition which rests OF
the inch boards on the brick founda-
ton, this is the usual construction
according to all architects, and is, il
my opinion, IS safe as any wooden
! construction can be.
found these buildings to be re.
!! markedly well ventilated and in poin
of strength and durability, / do no
well see how the character of theil
construction be improved upon
j Yours very truly,
J. d. ELLIOTT.

Up In q little Vermont town they tell
a story Of an old nurse. She was the
kind Of an old nurse to be found IN
small towns, who comes, after much
urging, to tend" case and who has
many Sairey Camp peculiarues.
Miss Sally. as she was called, was
induced to come to the house OF the
sick woman and take charge. She
moved in-cob pipe, batch OF starched
aprons, knitting and all.
After the good creature had seen the
case through she said to the doctor,

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America II the peo-
ple of the country would adopt plan
diet similar to that Of Norway ana

Swedes and Norwegians. and the rosy

young people of those countries are

Bergen, Norway. says. Hot rolls ana
white bread are rarely seen In Sweden.
Knackbrode. or hard bread, Is the
standard article Of food. 1t Is made or
ground oats aGd rye. There is no yeast
in the bread. and It is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung up
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink mix
for two meals day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state
occasions"

p,u md Winter Lettuce.

Lettuce has become recognized more
as a fall. winter and spring crop than
a summer, and it is extensively used
because of its appearance in the mar
ket when most other vegetables are
out of season. The south, east and
west are engaged in raising lettuce,
and it is supplied to the markets from
early fall to late spring. There is In
deed no better paying crop If one can
supply fresh tender lettuce at q season
when the market is not glutted. but
lettuce must be tender and not coarse.
1t is necessary that it should grow
rapidly from the start. Slow growth
makes the leaves coarse and unpalata-
BILE. This can best be accomplished Dy
raising the seed in boxes or cold
frames and then by transplanting later
to highly enriched open garden. In
the fall Of course 1t must be raised al
most entirely under glass frames, but
as the crop is quick grower this can
be done until very late in the season.
1t is even possible to raise lettuce III
winter under glass where shelterlne
buildings keep out the cold. The plants
need to be protected from frost. but
otherwise they can endure quite low

AFTER A SUMMERS FEEDING On ALFALFA.
that ii is not as difficult to maintain
the weights Of horses when fed alfalfa
as when fed timothy.
The cost OF maintenance was greater
in every case except one on timothy
than on alfalfa.
The appearance Of the horses in every
comparison of alfalfa and timothy was
in favor Of the alfalfa fed horse.
When alfalfa and timothy were fed
ad libitum. much greater quantities of
alfalfa We're consumed.
No III results were noted on the health
of the horses by long continued alfalfa
feeding.
The amount of hay fed on most Utah
farms could be reduced at least one
half. 1t may be economical TO reduce
the amount of hay and increase the
amount of grain fed to horses.
1t is evident from n study of the ex-
periments that bran and shorts may be
substituted for oats whenever the
horses are fed alfalfa or timothy.
Twenty pounds of alfalfa per day
proved sufficient 10 maintain the
weights of horses weighing nearly 1.40O
pounds when at rest. When at heavy
work. 32.62 pounds of alfalfa per day
was barely sufficient TO maintain the
weights of the same horses.
The greater consumption of water
when horses are fed alfalfa results in
a greater elimination by the kidneys.

stock Growers Want Statistics.

A measure to provide by law for
gathering vital statistics on the live
stock industry in the United States by
the establishment of bureau that
would keep close watch of changes
taking place is being urged by the Ma
tional Live Stock association.
There are two points on which relia-
BILE information is very desirable this
season. For example. there has been
wholesale slaughter of cows and
heifers, and it is possible that this
may result in scarcity of breeding cat
tie. If the exact status of this point
could be determined, breeders would
know Just what to do. AT present al
most nothing is known in regard to the
supply and demand for meat cattle.
The country might be on the verge of
shortage, and no one could say such
a shortage exists until it was actually
here. The markets are controlled by
the visible supply from day to day. and
farmers may sell their stock at panic
prices when the actual conditions do
not justify so doing. More than S.OOO,-
600 farmers and stock raisers are in
terested in live stock statistics.

What Others Say.

Successful dairying can be summed
I'D In two words: Be clean.
This great American nation is the
greatest soil robber on earth.
There's no farm power like gasoline
engines.
Have a rural telephone route. Many
thrifty farmhouses are now united IN
this manner.
Alfalfa is far ahead Of all other for
age plants known. Horses. cattle, hogs,
sheep and turkeys do well and make a
wonderful growth on straight alfalfa.
Chickens Of all ages are fools. as
great fools as many human beings are
who raise chickens.
The surest way to avoid the evil or
q glutted market is to produce first
class article.
Corn and laziness are great promoters
of fat.
