Mrs. Kilpatrick, who lives on the Walnut Hollow road at the i'ooot of East Fork mountain, was taught the trade several years ago at Christ school, and since that time has made and sold hundreds of baskets and rugs, some of the baskets bringing over five dollars, while some of them are now being offered for as low as twenty-five cents each, the cheaper ones, according to the maker, re-" quiring at least a day's labor.

The ordinance also fixes the penalty for violation. This ordinance was adopted as a public health measure and is in , line with all such measures that ar? being used in neighboring towns as ! well as all over the State and the ! | Country. [ It has been brought to the atten-j ' tion of the Town Authorities that j a great many people are selling milk in this town contrary to this or I diance. While the authorities state that it is not their desire to act in an arbitrary manner of impose hardship on anyone unneccessarily, they do desire to maintain the high j standard of health general in this community and this can only be done by the enforcement of such rules and regulations as have been found by experience to be necessary for public health they assert. Boiled down, to every-day lang 1 uage, it is up to anyone who fur nishes milk to others, in any quant ity, to report this fact to the Town Clerk who issues ' permits upon evi dence of wholesome milk produc tion.

PENROSE, Feb. 1? C. W. Ta!h* raises large hogs for his home use. This winter he has butchered weighing over 500 pounds and orhe* large ones. Mr. Talley and hi* Holland, handled the 500 pwwd?r easily. In doing so he made a con trivance similar to an old time weH :: weep- two upright posts were ft W ca in the ground and a timber mor tised or nailed across the top o! these. A pole for leverage was sus pended by a short chain from th* cross piece. The scalding tairef was placed immediately under &r short end of the leverage pole. Or: of the chief advantages of scalding thus is an ever: scald, as the hog is not lying on the side of the bar rel as in ordinary methods. Br us ing this suspended pole as a kind j of derick or crane, one person tan lift the largest hog from the barrel and place if. out conveniently' l? scrape.
