The Build Now Movement Is Growing
In Marked Reality in HendefsOnville
Many New Houses Contemplated, Local Concerns Adver
tising for Business Throug gh Hustler Columns.

While there is never month in the
year that some building is not in pro-
gress in Hendersonville, still the
spring months have become known as
those best adapted to this sort of
work. At this season building activi-
ties, increase greatly, and better work
is done, it is said by those in posi-
ton to know.
There are abundant signs on every
hand in local circles that this spring
will see more than the usual amount
OF new buildings. and improvements
made to existing buildings. The in
creased demand for residences anG
apartments is being met with Il
steady supply of suitable homes.
These new residences are not being
built exclusively in any one part of the
city but are to be found widely scat
tered in different sections of the incor-
pcrated limits. Many of them are
handsome buildings that will meet
every modern requirement, and will
be a credit to the city when com
ATleted.
Besides residences there has been
considerable activity recently in til

LOCAL COMPANY
PASS INSPECTION
Captain Grieg and Col. StringfieId Find
Sixth Company in Excellent Shape.

Captain A Grieg, U. S. A., and Col.
Thomas tringf1eld of the State militia
inspected the 9Th company Coast or
tiHery at the armory last Friday night.
Fifty out of the entire sixty-five mem
bers of the company were present in
cluding all the officers. The inspect
ing officers put the company through
all the tests and drills and it is said
that the local boys will receive very
high mark.
During the afternoon an inspection
OF the government property was made.
The property included many thousands
CT dollars worth of very valuable in
struments and arms. There is consid-
erable more learning necessary for a
member of an artillery than to be a
member of an infantry company. The
artillery men are required to know all
the drills of the infantry and in addi-
ton to know how to man the big NOR
tars and seige guns of the coast forts
and defense works.
The officers of the local company
are required to stand a series of three
very rigid examinations before they
are commissioned. 1t is said to take
constant studying on the part of tle
officers on account of new rulings be-
ing made from time to time ty the
army department in the improvements
of the system.

There are small, shaped emplacements
of the material at each side Df the
front, set Ola ut the waistline. They
are shRchineEtltched to place, with two
row0 Of stitching, and finished with
silk braid made into two round orna-
ments at the end Of short spiral de-
sign.
A similar cesign in braid appears at
the top of tho deep cuffs. The buttons
are set in groups of three down the
front and on each cuff there are three
In a smaller size. There are two large
fur-cOvered buttons at the back.
The ever present turnover collar for
once is lacking in this model. A stand
ing collar of velvet is banded with fur
little below the top edge and the fur
band about the coat follows its ex-
ample by finding its place away from
the bottom edge. 1t is set above the
hem.
Dark skunk fur looks well with all
colOrs and every material used for the
suits of the present season.
Meade County news., 1916-11-02

The combination Of cloth and fur in
suits never grows tiresome, and this
accounts for the fact, in part, that
furs are soaring in price. Certainly
they are much higher than they were,
and furri4rs appear to enjoy imparting
to us the bitter truth, when they assure
us that they will never be cheaper. If
you are going to consider fur as
trimming you must reconcile yourself
to paying a stiff price.
But it Is not so difficult to pay the
price for suit as attractive as that
shown in the picture. Besides, the
skunk fur used on it Is one of those
which furrlers describe as "hard" and
is very durable. 1t will outlast several
seasons wear; and the likelihood Ia
that each year 1t will be worth more
than 1t was the year before.
The suit pictured is of wool velOurs
in dark green, and the skunk banding
is almost black. The coat is beauti-
full model semifitted and cleverly cut.

BACTERIA CAUSE OF
SLIMINESS IN MILK
Preventive Measures Consist in
Thorough Steaming or Boil
ing of Utensils.

Sliminess or ropiness which devel-
OBS after the milk has been standing
for some time, is due to the develop
ment of bacteria. Although a number
of kinds of bacteria sometimes cause
ropiness in milk, it is considered prob
able that the type known as Bacterium
Lactis Viscisum is most often respon-
sible for that condition.
It is frequently found in water. Ami
mails wading through surface water in
fected with this organism may con-
taminate the udder and flanks which
in turn contaminate the milk at milk
Ing time. 1t is possible water used in
cooling the milk, or even that used in
rinsing utensils, may be responsible.
Preventive measures consist of thor
ough steaming or boiling of all uten-
sils, as they may be harboring the or
ganism; the protection Of milk and
utensils from dust: and the cleaning
up and possibly disinfection Of the
stables. The COW should be kept from
wading in pools of water. Sometimes
the source of trouble can be discov-
cred by placing samples of the milk,
at different stages of its production,
In bottles that have been boiled or
sterilized in some manner. For in
stance, one sample should be taken by
milking directly into the bottle, an
other from the milk pail, another after
straining and so on. The samples
should be allowed to stand at usual
temperature, and if some show the
ropiness and others do not, the source
of contamination may be located. OF
course, air contamination is always
possible and must be guarded against.
This trouble is often difficult to locate
and get rid of.
Organisms, other than the one men,
toned, which ordinarily do not cause
ropy milk, are sometimes responsible
for this trouble. The ordinary milk
souring bacteria seem to produce a
ropy condition in exceptional cases.
Ropy milk is not harmful. OF
course, this statement does not apply
to milk which is stringy when 1t comes
from the udder. It's condition, in this
case, is due to an infiamed condition
of the udder and it is dangerous. A
ropy fermentation is purposely devel-
oped in much Of the milk used in max
Ing Edam cheese, in Holland. The
people of Norway drink large guam
titles of sour ropy milk. Bacteria
which cause ropiness in milk, are
used in much Of the fermented milk
BOld In the cities Of this country.

year that can be added to the life rep,
resents profit. This is the age of the
"iron horse" and unless we take care
of our machinery the annual loss is
going to increase enormously.
Every farmer should study his ma
chine and see where he can increase Its
efficiency. Oil is cheaper than repairs
and new tools, and when properly used
will reduce the friction and increase
the life of the machine.
If the binder has not already heeD
housed, 1t should be done as SOol. as
possible. During a trip across the
state last winter, the writer counted
seven binders out in the field within a
radius of so miles, and some Of them
were new machines. Under luch
treatment a binder will not last more
than three years. Then the total year.
ly loss on these machines, whose cost
was about 5000, would amount to $500.
This is more than the yearly profit on
some farms. With proper care the
same machines could have been Llade
to last ten or fifteen years.
"A high polish on the moldboarl lie
Of far more value than that acquired in
high society,"" When you are through
with your plow this fall cover the
moldbOard with any heavy grease that
will keep the air away from it and put
1t away. This will keep the plow
from rusting and can be easily re-
moved. The same treatment to the
disk harrow and cultivator shovels 'rill
protect them.
The farm machinery is only used for
short period, but must work cOntinu-
ously when being used. Hence 1t must
be in good running order and properly
adjusted.
When buying a new machine Meen In
mind these four words: Simplicity. re-
liability, durability and accessibility
Then If the machine is given proper
care, long life and greater profits are
insured. Use plenty of OF, and grease

HARD TASK TO KEEP
FARM HORSE WORKING
Expensive to Feed Animal That
Stands at Rack and "EatS
His Head Off,"
(By r. M. GREEN, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment StationD

(By r. M. GREEN, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
One of the hard jobs on the average
farm is keeping horses prOfitatly EN-.
ployed throughout the year. 1t is nee.
essary to have enough to do the work
at the busy season but very expensive
to feed the horse that stands at the
rack and "eats its head Off the rest
Of the year. In it's study Of the
question, the Missouri agricultural ex-
pertinent station found one young
farmer who kept his horses working
and costs down to 81 cents an hour,
per horse, as compared with 70 cents
on the average farm. The horse which
did the most work worked nearly three
and half times as many hours year
as the one which did least, and nearly
twice as many hours as another. ThA
actual numbers of hours they worked
were 1,340, 1,239, 1,028, 702 and 391.
In these days of efficiency and econs
omy it is highly important that every
man should do everything possible to
reduce the total number of horses ii
is necessary to keep and increase the
ways of finding profitable employment
for them. OF course live stock is very
necessary if the soil fertility is to ks
kept up, but aside from work animate
the stock should be something thaI
will produce meat. milk or eggs in re.
turn for the feed it uses.

Women are just learning how many
pretty things for the house can be
made Of paper rope. They are weav-
ing baskets and trays, vases, lamps
and lamp shades, jardeniers, and
other things of this easily handled
and inexpensive material. 1t is sold
at the paper dealers and Is nearly al
ways chosen in brown or green or
white. The white can be painted any
color to match decorations or wood
work.
All these things that are fashioned
from paper rope are made over wire
foundations. After basket or any
other object has been finished, 1t is
vanished with shellac. This gives it
a good finish and adds to its durabil-
ity.
The basket for toilette articles
(Which might be used for almost any
other purpose) which is shown in the
picture, is made of white paper rope
and is woven with a proper space on
the foundation left uncovered.
This space Is meant to accommo-
date the narrow satin ribbon in rose
color that is strung through It, After
the weaving of the basket is finished it
is painted with white paint, or white
and another color. When the paint
is dry the whole surface is vanished
with shellac.
When the ribbon has been strung in
1t is tied in a full bow at the base
Of each handle. Just to add to its
Drnamentation. the handles Of the

basket provide support for two full
rosettes of gauze ribbon with
length of ribbon extending between
them. Such a dainty and refreshing
object might be used for serving cakes
at five-o'clock tea.
The bottom of the basket is a cir
cular piece of thin wood and is cov-
cred with colored milk. A dolly is to
be placed over the silk If the basket
is to be used for serving cake wNfers,
