The Silk Growing Season of 1904.
itors Progressive Farmer:

The public interest In the revival
Of silk growing in the United States
continues undated. Substantial.
progress has been made during the
year just closed and the prospects
are good for increased output of sill
the coming spring. Silk
growing associations are being
formed in many States, and public
schools are introducing the study
Ito their systems. Among the
latest formed associations are the
American Silk Growing Association
of Vineland, n. j., of which the
President is the well known fnan-
cier, Hon. Wharton Barker of Phil
adelphia. The Silk Growers Asso-
citation of Patchogue, Long Island
has been organized with DR.. Frank
lin Sylvester of New York, as Pres
ident. A number of towns in Mich
igan grew silk in 1903. In Califor-
MIA the industry is centered about
San Diego, where the are quite a
number interested. In Georgia the
Tullulah Falls Company are ~increas-
ing their plant, and an industrial
school to teach silk growing and do
nestle arts has been planned there
and will soon be in operation. Steps
are being taken to establish a school
similar to that at Tuaulah Falls in
Western North Carolina. Silk cul-
turs in America has come to stay.
When carried on as we have recon-
mended, as a household industry to
occupy spare time of the women.
children and aged or feeble members
of the family, silk growing can not
fail to fill an important place in our
social economy. 1t will furnish USE
full and remunerated employment for
labor otherwise unproductive. 1t
will add to the comforts and happi-
ness of the aged and young and poor
q classes of our population. It will
make country life more bearable to
the young of both sexes who now
look even to life in the factory towns
a a relief from the hardships of the
farm.
But silk reels and silk weaving
mills must necessarily follow the es-
tablishment of silk farms, and the
State which fosters silk growing
will in the end secure a bountiful re-
ward in general prosperity. North
Carolina can easily and without de-
tracing from any profitable indus
try already established, add to the
wealth produced in the State not less
than $4,000, 900 annually. This is a
sum worth striving for.
The North Carolina Department
of Agriculture will import from
Italy in February a sufficient guam
of silk worm eggs to supply all
silk growers in the State who make
in time, or during the
month of January. The price of
eggs will be the same as last year,

Quite Romantic.

A romantic incident connected with the recent marriage of two popular young people of Bridgton, Me, has just come to light. It seems that in the very beginning of their courtship some six or seven years ago, during one of the young mans visits to the home of the young lady who finally be- came his wife, he chanced to take from his pocket a BIO gold piece @ghich the young lady got into her possession. He made a brief at. tempt to regain it, but gave it up and in joking way said: "Keep it to pay the minister with"
 The years went by and the gold en eagle was entirely forgotten by the young man. On the day when the marriage ceremony was to take place, which was the opening of the present season, the bride-to- be produced the identical gold piece and the minister received it for his fee.-Kennebec Journal.

THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK
Preservation of Good Figure De- pends to Some Extent on This
 A New Theory.

A friend who leads a very active life has theory that the preser-. yation of a good figure depends to some extent on the manner of walking, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Many people, she says, as they advance in years allow themselves to walk heavily and without elasticity, so that the whole weight rests on the lower part of the limbs at every step, the only effect of exercise being Weariness of the legs and feet. In- stead of this his body should be held erect and poised so as to have a perfect balance; In this way the muscles are braced and strength ened throughout, the lungs must of necessity be we'll expanded, and it seems quite reasonable to sup pose that the tendency to increase of weight may be checked. At all events lighter step and brisker and more enjoyable manner of walking can be kept up, and that in itself is very great gain.

The Nile Valley.

The secret of the inexhaustible fertility of the Nile valley, which has long been credited to the an nual deporit of silt from the over flowing of the river, has been dis covered by Mir. Fairchild, agricul- tural explorer of the United States government, to be the nj trifying powers of the plant ber- seem. Berseem is species of tri- folium, which has the power not only to consume saline and aka line properties in the land, but also to enrich it with nitrates. Something of a composite of alfal ia and clover, it is in every way more delicate i'll flavor and more succulent than either.

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
Men Who Were Born in One Section and Represent Another at
 Washington.

There are few men in congress who are natives of southern states, but who have moved north and represent northern constit- uencies, says the Washington Post. There is but one man who is native of a northern state who have been elected from the south, and in this case he comes from a border state. Very many men born in eastern states are now representing western states. This is very natural, as the tide of immigration has been from east to west, and the west has been peopled by the east.
 It is a rare thing, however, to find a man in congress from the east who was born in the west. But there are some. Fowler, of New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas. sachusetts, are natives of Illinois. Perkins, of New York, was born ln Wisconsin. Hearst, of New York, is native of California.
 The men who were born in the south and now represent northern constituents are Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, who was born in North Carolina; Senator Cullom, of Illinois, a native of Kentucky :, a border state, however; Senator Newlands, of Nevada, a native of Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, of Illinois, and Representative Dix on, of Montana, and Shober, of New York, were born in North Carolina; Representative Mar shall of North Dakota, is native of Missouri. West Virginia is not always counted a southern state, and the fact that her two senators are Ohio born scarcely makes the exception to the rule that few northern men are sent to congress from the south.

Hold a Banquet.

There was banquet last night at
the Windsor cafe The lumbermen
of this CITY, thankful for the wonder
full patronage they have enjoyed dur
ing the past five years, decided that
thev would treat themselves to ban
quet.
A committee of arrangements from
the local organization was appointed
and last evening fourteen of the lnm-
bermen of the city gathered to do
honor to the bountiful spread provid-
ed by Caterer Mason. The table was
hansomely decorated and fine time
was enjoyed as the lumbermen were
feeling good with themselves and with
all the world, so that dull care was
left behind and those gathered had a
good time
The affair was a SORT of reflex of
the late convention of the Hoo Hoos
in Denver and was thoroughly enjoy
ed.
1t is not presumed that the price of
lumber will be elevated because OF this
little side affair as the tumbermen are
only too willing to stand the expense
of their own fun.
