This company has, however, fall ell
upon plan which may, and they be
lieve will, do what they have so long
sought. 1t is known that a bi-product
OF value could be found In the water
after it leaves the pulp mill. Some
tannlc acid and much resin are found
to be turned loose, because these must
go out before the pulp can be bleach
ed sufficiently to make high grade pa
per.
Ihe company, therefore, proposes to
install at once a plant costing possibly
SlOO. 900 to take care of this bi-product.
The manufacture of it is in an expert
stage as yet, but the experiments
have all been encouraging and in a
short time the work Oh this new plant
will begin. The water, it is under
stood, will be converted into spray or
possibly steam and then recOnverted
into water, thus recovering the color.
Should this succeed no happier people
will be found than the w. Va. Pulp Il
Paper Co, who have all along regretttd
that Il business such as theirs suffered
this one drawback, to wit: the color.
ing of the water. We shall notice this
enterprise as it progresses.

NEW COAL ROUTE IDEA.

EN COAL lD6A,
Considerably interest has lately been
manifested in the report that railroad
will be built to connect the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Norfolk & w estern
Railway. thus giving through route
from the Virginia coal fields to the sea
at some point south of Cape Hatteras.
Concerning this subject correspond
ent of the Manufacturers Record, writ
ing from Greenvile, s. c., after re-
marking upon the extensive work of
the Southern Railway there in build
ing large yards, a new passenger sta
tion and preparing to enlarge its freight
warehouses, says that the Charleston
Il Western Carolina Railway. which is
controlled by the Atlantic Const Line,
has purchased three entire blocks of
land in tire very center of Greenville,
and it is surmised that it is intended
to extend the line from Greenville over
the mountains to connect with the
n 0rfolk & Western Railway for the
purpose of making a new coal route to
tidewater. n Nothing official has, how.
ever, been disclosed about the plans at

Strawberries in November,

he'd, ripe Strawberries, growing on
hillside in the Capitol grounds at
Washington under bleak November
skies, was the unique sight to which
visitors were treated last week. One
OF the Capitol watchman saw some-
thing red glistenlng under brown elm
and beech leaves. Brushing them
aside, his gaze fell upon a cluster of
Strawberries growing in the nipping
air as though they had forgotten the
season and imagined 1t was May. The
ground was dotted with the brilliant.
scarlet berries, and the watchman
plucked a handful and hurried with
them TO the Capitol, where they ex
cited great curiosity before being
placed on exhibition under a glass in
one of the committee rooms.
The secret Is being we'll guarded and
the Capitol employees hope few of the
delicious berries will be growing on
the southern campus of the big park
when Uncle Joe Cannon gets back to
open the House of Representatives.

Reject Disease, Nursery Stock.

Insects and diseases of nursery stock
OF seriously Injurious nature have
become so widely disseminated th at
persons desiring to plant only a few
trees. az well as fruit growers IN gener-
al, would do we'll to inspect all nursery
stock carefully before accepting it.
Considering so apple trees per acre,
worth 10 cents each, $500; the land on
which they are planted, $25 90 per
acre; planting and care $50 per acre
each year, and We foot up for ten
years, $105'50. Suppose one snould use
diseased nursery stock, and the orchard
bscOme almost entirely worthless at
the end of the tenth year. One then
has only the value of the land (S25.00)
to show for an outlay of $l05 90. be
sides not having the land for use dur
ing this period. 1t will be good bust
ness proposition to start with healthy
nursery stock. !
The main troubles of nursery stock
are the San Jose scale and the crown
gall of apple. The crown gall is discus
sed in bulletin No. l40 of the Va. Expt. |
and discussion of this and
others troubles of nursery stock ap-
pears in Circular No. 45 of this office,
both of which may be obtained by ad
dressing Prof. Andrew M. Soule or the |

will inspect carefully all the stock pur
chased. and call the attention of the

NEW ENTERPRISE FOR COVINGTON.
A visit to COvington is always inter

as is seldom found in Virginia or any
other State. The tannery there is large

running full blast, being unable to

very large. These manufacturing es

VIRGINIA RAISED
FAMOUS APPLES.
State Now Fifth in Production and Will
Soon Be Fourth In United States.

Virginia's pippin apples are becom

and highly valued is this fruit cOnsid
cred that little of it is now reaching the
American consumer; for five years past
1t has been eagerly sought by the ex.
porter for shipment, where it COM
mands prices far above the range of
prices paid for other apples sold in the
domestic market
There are now in Virginia, well adapt
ed to the raising of apples, about 26.
900 square miles of country where
some striking successes have been
achieved in recent years. The possi-

Weak Kidneys Make Weak Bodies.
COMMON ACHES AND ILLS OF
STAUNTON PEOPLE,

KIDNEY DISEASES CAUSE HALF THE
COMMON ACHES AND ILLS OF
sTAUNTON PEOPLE.
AS one weak link weakens a chain,
SO weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breakdown.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there Is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help.
