Mr.. ]. II. Curry is the fastest and
most expert "grubber" we have ever
known. Neither Davidson nor Forsyth
County has his equal. 1 watched him
for FIVE minutes one day this week, and
I think he took up more bushes and
trees in that time than 1 had ever
seen done in one hour before. His
plan is this-he has a large log cham,
hooks 1t around a sapling about four
feet from the ground, bitches two

comes up. 1t is a real curiosity to see
him operate the machine.-Pllot IN. g.

NEW TREATMENT OF LUMBER

A novel method for increasing the
usefulness Of lumber has been per.
fected in England. The method con-
sists, in brief, in replacing the air in
wood with a solution Of beet sugar
and removing the excess of water by
a subsequent drying. The inventor
Of the process, Mr.. Powell, attains his
object by using a large boiler In which
the timber TO be treated is placed and
the beet-sugar solution pumped in.
After the air has all been replaced by
the solution the wood is kiln dried
Examination of the wood seems to
show that the sugar is absorbed into
the fibre Of the woody tissue and is not
simply held I'm the intercelluar spaces.
1t is claimed that timber treated in
this way is no longer porous, will not
shrink or warp, and is stronger, heav-
Ter and more durable Moreover, it
is said that this wood is not liable to
dry rot; it is hoped that by mixing the
proper poisons with the sugar bath
the wood win be made resistant TO the
attacks Of fungi and insects.

am the originator Of three methods
whereby the Mexican boil weevil and
all other noxlous insects preying upon
cotton may be destroyed
By planting in alternate rows ricinus
and cotton, the dehalatOn Of the former
will kill all insects in all states Of
growth,
BY adding to the fertilizers the con-
centrated poison Of the crushed beans
the cotton plant will feed upon 1t and
become immune,
By adding to the fertilizers hematite
iron high in phosphor and low in iron
pyrites and sulphurous silicon.
l am the first to suggest the use as
plant food Of phosphOr compounded
with iron, which will be accepted by
the plants more readily, asSi the inyal-
liable device of providing soluble sui
phur and silicon to the roots Of cult
waited plants and trees and shrubs.
The cost of the ricinus beans,
crushed is next to nothing, while the
other three ingredients will not exceed
S4 a ton. Adding these ingredients to
the fertilizers used at present, half
the usual quantity would be sufficient
and a saving Of about fifty per cent.
could be effected. If used for tobacco
the advantages Of this fertillzng COM
pound would be:
All insects would be destroyed or
driven away.
The tobacco plants would be shaded
by the taller rlcinus plants.

FASHION NOTES.

The Capuchn hood Of this season has
less of a hugglng effect than its proto-
type,
The hood is a favorite with the most
elaborate wraps, its expansive surface
providing a resource for the display Of
furs and other garnitures, q.
Pink is generally becoming shade
for women, but when other shades are
more suitable, three shades of yellow,
lavender green, blue or tan will be
found equally as effective used in this
manner.
1t is hoped that only young women
with pretty faces will fancy hats Of the
Charlotte Corday style.
Tiny narrow pompadour ribbon
ruches make pretty outer and under
brim trimming for round hats.
The Capuchin hood, often varied al
most beyond recognition Of the original
type, still sees the light, although its
vogue has been a fuctuating one for
two years,
largest extreme. In fact, 1t Is the dol
man type, with sleeve lost in the drap-
cries Of the rest Of the garments, that
have led the cape to the fore again.
Masses Of shIrrings, chiffon and lace
are employed as backgrounds for
graceful feminine figures in opera ar
ray.
In shoulders rs well rs skirts effects
all tend toward the flowing, and this
brings into renewed favor capes-sin-
gle, double and triple. These capes
are often edged with chenille fringe, a
revived old favorite.

Those who grow all their plants
should have hotbed for starting the

should be done late in the evening, or

Realty Men There Get Tip from Twin

Echoes of the trip of the real estate
board to Duluth are heard in the press
of that city. While the twin city visi-
tors learned much, it develops that
their visitors taught the Duluthians
something. The NewsTribune takes up
the Duluth situation editorially and
part the editorial reads:
"The industry of iron mining and
shipping, the blast furnace and the
marvellous possibilities of the water
power amazed the visitors. Their
amazement turned to the chanDel Of
questioning local values upon reflection
Of the influence of such factors on
realty. They were astonished at the
lock: of business acumen on the part of
estate is goins begging OF. the market
at half the price it commands in any
city Of Duluth s size or anywhere near
it's Importance. No city in this coun-
try Of the size of Duluth has so solid
foundation upon which to build
realty values. >,
realty will pass into the hands Of out
side people, who will more thoroiy ap-
preciate it's value.
cat the present time real estate is
very cheap here. The wonder is that
there is not rush to obtain it at pre-
vailing prices. The St. Paul and Min
neapolis visitors have been shown the
foundation upon which Duluth builds
it's hopes Of the future. They have
expressed wonder that local capital is
so blind to it's own interests asjto fail
to see the rich opportunity at its hand.
The waterpower was a revelation to
the twin city men. They leave Duluth
to spread the knowledge their eyes
have given them. The Duluth ex-
change did good stroke Of business
for the city when it invited this dis
opulent local feld.'
