Retail Sales Make Very Large
Cain During The Past Year

Washington. - Retail sales in
1899 amounted to $37, $50, 000, 900,
an increase of $2,500,000,000 over
1888, the commerce department
estimated this week.
The 1899 figure was about ST.
000,000,000 under the 1887 recov-
cry peak. Half of this difference
was attributed by the department
to lower prices and half to small
Ter sales in the automotive field.
Secretary Hopkins, in announc-
ing the estimates, said that the
upswing was shared by all major
business groups. Although auto
mobile sales were below 1887,
they increased % per cent over
1888. Mail order houses showed
the greatest gain in general mer-
chandise sales with a IL per cent
increase.

Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: What causes my
milk to foam during churning so
that the butter does not collect
properly?
ANSWER: An abnormal fer
mentation in the milk is some
times responsible for this. The
best way to prevent the condition
is to add pint of good favored
buttermilk to each ten gallons
Of milk several hours before
churning time. This should be
thoroughly mixed with the sweet
milk and held at a temperature
Of IS to 70 degrees. Another rea-
son for this foamy condition is
too low temperature. The best
temperature to churn in the win
ter is around 70 degrees and this
should be determined by churn
thermometer before churning
time.
QUESTION: How can I get rid
Of cutWorms in my hotbeds?
ANSWER: CutWCrms are rea-
Oily controlled by a poisoned bait
made by mixing thoroughly five
pounds of wheat bran with two
ounces of Paris green. After mix
ing these ingredients while dry,
enough water should be added to
moisten the mixture. Squeeze the
mixture and then release the grip
and, if the particles separate
readily, enough water has been
added. The bait is most effective
when applied late in the evenings
and should be scattered at about
one pound to each Is square
yards of bed before the plants
come up or among the young
growing plants in the bed. This
bait is poisonous and should be
kept out of reach of children and
livestock.
QUESTION: What percentage
of eggs set will hatch out pullets?
ANSWER: Five eggs should be
set for every pullet wanted. This
I: allows for a fifty percent hatch
and about 20 percent deaths and
culls. If larger hatch is secured
then there will be more pullets
as it is a general rule that about
so percent of the livable chicks
i are pulletS. q

y. {. Highway Patrolman
Is Dismissed For Bride

Mocksville, Feb. 1 State
Highway Patrolman H. v. Norris
was discharged from the service
To-Day after his arrest here on a
charge OF accepting a bride of $50
from motorist he had arrested
on a charge of drunken driving.
IL was alleged that Norris had a.
greed to reduce the charge to
reckless driving if the money was
paid.
Mag. John Armstrong. in COM
mand of the patrol, said Norris
admitted the charge. Armstrong
added that it was the first time
IN the 10-year history of the pa
troll that anything like this has
happened"
Norris, missing from this Sec
ton since the money allegedly
changed hands last Monday, was
arrested last night about mid
night when he returned to his
rooming house here. He waived
preliminary hearing today and
was held in Jail pending posting
of $1,000 bond.
Norris was accused of accepting
the bride from Clyde D. Weather
man, of Yadkinville. The money
allegedly changed hands at the
Davie-Iredell county line Mon
day night. Weatherman had mott
fled authorities of a proposal he
had received, and Sheriff L. S.
Bowden, of Davie county, and
Guy Scott, of Winston-Salem, a
member of the state bureau of
investigation, were hiding in the
back seat of Weatherman's car
when the transaction was. COM
pleted, according to the sheriff.
Weatherman was arrested last
August 10. The drunken driving
charge had been pending before
Magistrate P. S. Young here since
that time. The sheriff said it had
never been docketed for trial.
The sheriff stated Weatherman
told him that several days ago
he received a letter signed "A
Friend" The letter advised Wea-
therman that if he would meet
"the man" at the county line jan
uary % at z o'clock with $50
or $50" it was probable that the
drunken driving charge could be
reduced to reckless driving.
