How Butter Takes Salt.

II one were to got up before
an audience and tell those fac
ing him that butter, the real but
ter fat, does not take salt, most
of them would think he did not
know what he Was talking about;
but he would be speaking the
truth. Salt can be pressed into
Q mass of butter, bat the real
butter, the butter fat, will not
dissolve salt so it becomes inter-
mingled with 1.-THE moisture,t
water, that is in the butter must
dissolve the salt. 1t is clear, then,
that to get ball of butter salted
in all its parts equally, it is nee
essary to get the moisture, the
carrier of the salt, distributed
eIlally in all parts of the butter.
If the moisture, the carrier of
the salt, is present in the butter
in little pockets, the butter fat
near the pockets will be salted
more heavily than the butter fat
farther away.
Before the sailing is done let the
butter drain we'll after washing
it. Different individual tastes
will vary as to how much butter
should be salted and there may
be some variation in the require
ments Of different markets..
Since salt is cheaper than but
ter fat, it would seem good bus
mess to salt the butter fully
as heavily as the taste of the
purchaser likes. AS general
rule, butter that is medium soft
after being worked should re-
ceive as many ounces of salt as
there are pounds of butter as
maximum, and from that down
to hree fourths as many ounces
of salt as there are pounds of
ter.-Progressive Farmer.

Bold Bank Robbery in North

Hickory special in Charlotte
Observer: What was equal to a
Western scene was the bold rob

itants, on the G. & N. w. Rail

ory, at 6 o'clock last night, when
Cashier w. G.. Whisnant was

three masked bandits, VINO took
from the cashiers desk $4,000

cape.
The alarm was not given until
this morning, when the where
abouts of Cashier Whisnant was
sought after by his home people
when he failed to turn up at the
breakfast hour. The search was
begun and on entering the bank
the cashier was heard in the
vault trying to give the alarm,
having survived through the
night owing to a small ventila-
ton in the vault. One of the
bank officers about town, who

Rippey was taken to Poca-

XIII Garden Bugs Now.

worms, bugs and lice on co'Iards
and similar plants, some OF
which might be prevented. 1t
may interest many to learn that
this is a good time to partly sup
press these insects. All that
are destroyed now during the
few winter weeks that remain
will help lessen the numbers
that will appear in the gardens
next spring and summer.
Use direct remedial measures
and carefully destroy infested
plants that have become use
less.
Spray with soap solution,
using common Octagon soap, or
any strong alkali soap or wash
ing powder. A strength of 1
pound soap dissolved in 4 or 5
gallons of water has proved sue
cessful; also decoction of tobac-
CO leaves, l pound in 2 gallons
of water, boiled for 2 hours.
The former is cheaper and more
easily prepared, ordinarily,and a
little preferable because of spread
ing more readily.
Lice feed by sucking the plant
juices and cannot be killed by
an internal poison like Paris
green. That is, they must be
fought by contact spray like
soap solution or kerosene emul-
sion. The latter is troublesome
to prepare and injurious to the
plants unless properly made,
hence the soap solution is most
advisable.
Some form of spray pump that
will apply the solution with
force and in fine spray is nee
essary for the best results. The
lice cluster on the under side Of
the leaves and around the central
bud. Raise up the leaves when
spraying in order to reach the
insects underneath, or provide
the spray pump with an extern
sion rod bent at the end to
turn the spray upwards.
Those who have never tried
the soap solution against collard
lice should do so, for it is safe to
say thai they will be pleased
with the result.
AT this season there are many
old collard fields containing rem
nants of plants that serve only
as a breeding place for Terrapin
bugs, worms, and lice. These
should be done away with. BY
pulling up all such plants and
burning them on straw Or brush
pile, The insects may be destroy
ed in great numbers. Plants
badly infested with lice, if not
sprayed, should BE- carefully re-
moved and burned.
There are at least four distinct
cabbage worms that pass the
winter as pupae attached to the
unGersides of the leaves, or in
cocoons close round the plants,
under cover of dead leaves or
rubbish, and removal of plants
that are past their usefulness
will do much toward suppressing
these pests.

ADVICE

You won't tell your family doctor
The whole story about your private
Illness you are too modest. You
need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass, the things you
could not explain to the doctor. Your
letter will be held in the strictest con-
fidence. From her vast correspond
ence with sick women during the
past thirty years she may have
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. Such letters as the fol
lowing, from grateful women, es-
tablish beyond doubt the power of
