What constitute* tlie practie?l healthful bona for the young and old ha* been pointed out in a re cant article by Dr. George M. Kober of Washington, D, C. He aaya, flrst, Uiat the heslttrfnl home must be a home admitting sun iliine; that children reared in dark, gloomy damn rooms are a* anae mic and puny a* plant* reared with out the stimulating effects of sun shine and light. Ac old German proverb reads. "Where the sun does go, the doc tor does not go." In dark, damp places, all kind* of bacteria, ea pecialty the tubercle bacillus, find favors bid conditions for retaining their vitality. "Sunshine by day and cold fresh air by night." sa.vs be. "are strong health factors which every home should provide. A healthful home should be a dustlesa home, according Dr. Kober, because dust, especially dust contained in the home, and germs go hand in hand. For that reason the object of bouse, clean ing should be to get rfd of the dust. In the abscence of a vacu urn cleaner, a damn or oiled cloth la recommended for both floors and furniture. The temiieraturo most conducive to a healthful home in cold weatli er is between sfxty-five and seven ty |>er cpnt. Overheated rooms predispose to colds and other re spiratory diaeases. They lower the bodily resistance. Mo flies, mosquitoes nor insects by which filth and diseases may be admitted iuto tho healthful home. They are essential to the comfort of the home as to its wealth. Cleanlineas is the watch dog of the healthful home Diseases find it hard to enter any home whew guarded b.v cleanliness both of ^persons and thing*.

Eure, aire 45 years, 1 month and 15 days.' Brother Enre had been afflicted for nine years, though he bore his sfflic tion without murmuring or com plaining. He leaves to mouin their loss an aged father and mother, two brothers and sisters. He joined tbe Connaritsa Baptist Church when quite a boy, and the same year he was granted a letter of dismission to unite with the Au lander Baptist Church. For some reason ha never deposited his let ter. Brother j Eure wa? a true and tried Mason, having been a mem ber of the Order for thirteen years, rberefore, we resolve: 1st., That in the death of Broth er Eure Aulander Lodge 516 of A. F. and A. M. has lost a faith* ful member, always at his post of ditty, when able to attend, ready and willing to do bis part. His death will be keenly felt by all his Brethern; 2nd.. That we bow in humble submission to Him who causes all things to work together for good to those that love and fear God; 3rd., That we extend to the be reaved family our sincere sympa thy in this their bitter bereavement, commending tliem to God, who has said, I will never leave nor forsake you; 4lb., That a page on our record book beset apart sacred to the memory of our departed Brother, and that these resolutions be i*> scribed thereon, a copy be sent to the bereaved family, to the Wind sor Ledger, Orphans Friend, and Hertford County Herald, for pub lication.

From the number <>f inquiries that are coining to the Division of Agronomy of the Station it ap peara that oommon Halt ia being pressed by Home dealers aa a auit able substitute for potash in mix ing fertilizers tbia year for differ^ ent crops. In a urevioua article in the Extension News attention baa been called to this same nut ter, and it was noted that a limited extent noaaibly this may be done. It ia not thought, however, that farmers can buy material at-'the price it ia being offered and expect it to produce sufficient results to justify-iff being bought. As a matter of fact, except in the one case mentioned previously, Ithe Division would Dot advise farmers to buy salt for this purpose. It might, be interesting in this con nection to know that pure nitrate [of soda will contain 88.8 per cgnt sodium *<> is contained in pure common salt. Those who are 1?taoning to use nitrate of soda as the source of tl-eir nitrogen of course will add 23 pounds of sodium in every 80 pounds of pure nitrate of soda used; while if common salt were [applied. 23 pounds would be added in every 58 pounds of the pure salt used. It ia believed, taking everything in consideration, that the farmer, who buys . ordinary commercial common salt to be used as a fertilizing material at this time will make's mistake in supposing be has secured a mod erately /air substitute for potash as a fertilizing material.?Exten sion Farm News. Life's Burden. While drifting down the stream of lime We are often weary ai d oppressed, Trying to perform some duty When we so much need a rest. Tired and weary our hearts grow faint. With temptation* hovering near. But"let us look to him above. Whose promise gives good cheer. We often think our burden Is always hardest to bear. But we never know the sorrows, - Another ha* to share. Every day we are some person Casting smiles along the way. But whose heart is almost break ing. Still hoping for a brighter day. Never tell all your trpubles. To even a friend so very dear. As you know that every one Has some burden hard to bear. Therefore keen your troubles hid den. As 'twill make life's sun more fair, And 'twill not keep burdening others, Whose lives are crowded now with care. But scatter smiles and words of kindness All along each pathway here: It will help the broken hearted On through life so very drear. Try to make this life seem happy, As you can with words sincere. Casting smiles upon the aged, Whose life is so very dear. As life's day Will soon be closing. And you reach the other shore. Where you'll receive a jeweled crown, ,s' To shine foievermore. E. M. B.
