The wood pulp industry Of Norway
has made great progress in the forty
years since its inception. The first
factory was established in 1860, and
1907 the number had grown to 70, OF
which SO are for mechanical wood

forests. To meet this situation the
Government plants annually about
1 IL million trees in the public for.
ests, and large numbers are also plant
ed by by private owners. In 1906 the
exports of wood pulp from Norway
amounted to 557,35S tons $4,000
pounds), against 4S7,5SO tons in 1905.
In 1906, $4,000 horses were slaugh-
horse meat was eaten by only the
poorest classes, but now it is no long

consumption by the working classes
is rapidly increasing throughout
Europe.

POSSIBLE DANGERS FROM EAT
ING POTATOES.

Few people are aware that potatoes,
when first introduced into Europe,
were regarded as poisonous. This
prejudice was soon overcome and the
fact generally recognized that, under
ordinary circumstances, potatoes are
unquestionably wholesome food. Oc-
casionally one hears Of a person who
is made i'll by eating potatoes, just as
some are made i'll by milk, by straw
berries, or other food. Such cases are
rare and due to individual idiosyn-
cracy. Reference can not be made
here to diabetes or other conditions
of i'll health in which potatoes and SIM
liar starchy foods are not permitted,
since this is a subject which pertains
to the practice of medicine rather than
to a discussion of dietetics.
Ceses Of actual poison from pota-
toes are not unknown, and, perhaps,
without exception, have been found
to be due to an abnormal solanin con-
tent, such as is found in sprouted
tubers, in very old potatoes, and in po-
tatoes which have turned green on
exposure to the light. Solanin is a
characteristic constituent of potatoes
and other plants of the same family.
it is acrid in taste and is poisonous.
Only a trace, however, about 0.01 per
cent. on an average, is found In the
tubers Of the variety which are grown
for the table, and this quantity is far
too small to cause any unpleasant
symptoms. It is claimed that the
characteristic taste of potatoes is due
to this mere trace of solanin. At any
rate, the very starchy potatoes Contain
about half as much solanin as the bet
ter table varieties. Potatoes which
have grown on the surface Of the
ground, or which have been expose1
to the light, frequently turn green.
and such tubers contain abnormal
amounts of solanin, as do old and
shriveled potatoes which have sprout-
ed. It is best not to use such old po-
tatoes, but IL they are eaten the flesh
around the sprouts should be cut
away, as this portion is particularly
liable to contain solanin. Small OF
unripe tubers contain a higher per-
centage of solanin than full-grown
tubers.
Analysis has shown that wild pota-
toes contain practically the same kind
and proportion of nutrients as the
cultivated varieties. The so1ani1 con-
tent, however, is very considerably
larger, 0.S per cent. having been
found. These wild potatoes when
cooked are Shiny and almost translu-
cent and entirely inedible.

The many friends Of Miss Pattie

Her ankle was fractured and she
will be confined to her bed for some
time. Surgical attention was at once

FENCES.

A good fence carefully built will
add much to the appearance of a
farm. Wooden fence posts are be-
coming more expensive and cement
or iron posts are often substituted.
The cement posts may be made on
the farm If sand and grave: can be
easily obtained. (Ref. IS, .. 213.)
The casting of ornamental shapes in
concrete may be accomplished by the
use Of sand, wood or plaster of Paris
molds. The concrete fence at the
.Gedney Farm had the posts cast il
position. with groves on each side,
into which the rails were dropped and
the grooves filed with concrete. The
rails, 4 by inches and about 16 feet
long, were cast in separate forms and
put in place after the concrete had
thoroughly set. They have a H-inch
reinforcing rod in each corner with
A-inch stirrups every feet OF length

of stables for live stock, especially
milch cows, the ventilation must be
proportioned to the number OF
animals; 500 cubic feet of air space
per head is the least amount allowed
In good designing. The stalls should
have a slope toward the gutter of
about 2 inches in feet. The fall of
the gutter should be about 1 inch in
20 feet.
An example of good planning Is
shown in Three Rivers Farm" the
home of Mr.. e. w. Rollins, near
Dover, N. H. An arbor extends from
house to barn and the garden lies at
one side of this arbor. The native
trees have been used 70 give shade
and shelter, but are not allowed t.
cut off the beautiful outlook over the
hills and river. The barns form three
sides of court, a convenient and
labor-saving arrangement. The loca-
ton is exceptional, but the neatness
of the yards, and buildings need not
be so.
The Iowa farm shown in the next
view was started hundred years or
so later than the preceding, and the
details have not been so well looked
after. The buildings have been drop
ped down on the yard with little
thought for convenience. The tree
planting is excellent, but no one has
taken the time to plant the vines
and shrubs needed to soften the out
lines and to separate the barns from
the house.
HOG HOUSES.
Houses built for the keeping or
breeding of swine should be easily
cleaned, well lighted. and well venti-
lated, with separate feeding floors
and sleeping quarters. The feeding
floor, located in full sunlight. should
be of concrete. IL feet wide and as
long as required, slightly sloping,
about Y inch in IL inches. to a gutter
on one side. The feeding trough
may be formed of concrete, and should
extend along one side and be pro-
tected by a swinging fence from the
hogs while being cleaned or filed.
For the sleeping quarters, the "King
system of ventilation" 81 excellent.
(Ref. 20, p. 29.) The pens, walls,
and floor may be of concrete, with
iron doors, so that all may be kept
clean. The runs may be separated
by wire fences and should have a shall.
low concrete basin at one end, where
the hogs may lie In water in the hot
weather.

Billy FELIX'S Letter.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The recent rains have made a tell
ing effect on growing crops.
Fruits, of all kinds and in great
abundance.
The farmers will soon be through
the bulk of their farm work, then it
will be attend "big' meetings, bar
becues, eat melons and hear the dear
candidates speak.
We are glad to report at this time
that D. r. Craft and Miss L. B. Fal-
law, who have had fever, are much
better.
The candidates for the house and
senate had better be prepared to an
swer how they stand on the repeal of
the. act passed by the last legislature
relative to the crow and fox law, as l
hear that some of the dear voters are
going to put it to 'em, as well as to
prohibition.
CASTOR and Bakersville base ball
team played recently which resulted
in favor of the former team.
Mrs. G. 8. Goodwin has been sick,
but is now up again.
Mr.. Editor, we deeply sympathize
with you in the death of your bright,
promising son. May the blessings of
God smile upon you. Billy Felix.

Sheriff corley Lands Thieves.

By one of the ceverest pieces of de-
tective work ever accomplished by
ar officer in South Carolina Sheriff
Coriey landed on Thursday a band of
thieves who had entered the store of
John McMeekins, at Wallaceville,
Fairfield county, on Friday night,
June goth, taking off about S75 worth
of merchandise. .
Upon receiving the information
from Mr.. McMeekins that his store
had been robbed, Sheriff Corley went
to Wallaceville and procured a SAM
pie of some of the missing articles.
With pair of sox the sheriff went
out to capture his prey. He went to
Columbia and it was not long before
he had Jim Holmes, negro, under
arrest. The sox he wore correspond
ed exactly with the sample" that
the sheriff had secured at the store,
and it was not long before Holmes
made complete abreast of the whole
affair, implicattng two other negroes.
Clarence Wilson and "Doc" Sims.
They were soon captured and all
three were brought to the Lexington
jail.
On Friday the sheriff returned to
Wallacevill in search for the stolen
goods and succeeded in recovering
some of the stolen articles, but not
being satisfied with his find, he re-
turned to Wallaceville on Saturday
morning, this time taking Clarence
Wilson with him for the purpose of
finding the balance of the hidden
goods, and he succeeded. Wilson
carried the sheriff right to the spot.
\ In river swamp, about five miles
from where the robbery was commit
ted, two sacks were found, which
contained little of everything from
a dozen lead pencils up. All the men
are in the jail here, but will be trans
ferred to the Fairfield jail this week.
Sheriff Corley will receive reward
of $75 for capturing the men.
