; s , , . To the People of North Carolina. Unsolicited and unexpected on my part, I have been: elected byjj the Executive Committee of the "Confederate Veterans' As sociation" of North Carolina an agent to make a canvass of the State in behalf of a "Soldiers' Home.'' Now, I am aware that I have undertaken a big! job. Is want your endorsement; I want your sympathy ; I want a small amount of your means. I hope no one will say " it is not convenient for metogivp nowj" If we are not willing tp make some sacrifice, if not willing to sacrifice some luxury for this cause, but must wait until it is convenient to give the aid, then let all the! cry at once be made in North Carolina,! " To your tents, oh, Israel." 1 I ! . . This call is a broad one, iis not bound by religious or politi cal lines, but appeals to the hu mane of every sect or political party, j " We do not despise the dayl of j small things.",;! Small sums will be appreciated, j ' There is that scattereth and yet; increaseth ; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but tendeth to poverty." Let i the Home have one-half of what you intended tor your Christmas. , It: has been reported to the committee that there j are at least 28 ex-Confederate soldiers no in the county poor j houses in North Carolina, and they have not received reports from all the counties. These! things ought not to be. flight not these 28 and! others say ;" we are here in obedience to the call of North Carolina made in 1861-5 May it not be true that these 28 were in the charge on many battle j fields in those days that tried! men's souls ? ; ! Jiay it not be true tnat some at least! of the 28 were seen by Us in those dreadful charges made at Gettysburg ill July, 1SG3,? i :. ! : Will North Carolina l0t them suffer for scant necessary com forts as their sun is going down the western hill of life ? I think .not. 1 j " ' .now, l appeal to every of soul in North Caro help us in some way . women of North Carolina to say " it must be done," we will succeed. ) . The thing is to get the money or good notes, then we can dis cuss the best plan for applying it, etc.; - : M ! ' .. 1 ' i . 1 If we wait until all agree on a plan, we will find some mak ing suggestions (but furnishing no monevi when Ithe Anerel is ready to strike down the clock of time, and declare " that time shall be no more." Those who are not willing to make a small sacrifice (even of some luxury) to aid this noble cause, will always find an ex cuse for not giving, j When we come, to die all that we will have saved will j be what we have given to some good cause. Each town, community or in dividual will be credited for all amounts paid, and at stated times a list of each will be pub lished in our newspapers. Let our towns as well as indi viduals vie with each other in this good work, and! see who shall stand at the, head of the list. ) ,j. J. j ' j V.'. ' ,." j; ' ;.- Send your contributions to W. C.

HO :4 FOR THE II 1 n Hints i on the Cnring of Cbeee A Conren- ient Cheese Curing Boom Treivtment of CalveH When the Object Is to Make Good Milken '-." ' j A model clieese curing room must com bine convenience and adaptability. As high authority as American Agricultur ist claims that a convenient curing room is necessarily on the ground floor of the factory or house, and separated from the making apartment by a tight parti tion.1 r r .! ' nJ&S Watch Cloiks, Jewelry, floor aitd to the ceiling. ' Such a wall ' all Descriptions. properly put up will exetade all steam and damp heat from the curing cheeses that fill the air of the adjoining room. As the new clieeses are taken from tte hoops each morning they an be easily rolled on a truck to the sheJves assigned for them. If the loft of the building is used for curing, a hoisting apparatus must be brought into requisition, as few factories employ elevators, and this is always a tedious and slow job. But it is not convenience alone that gives the ground curing room a great advantage over the elevated one. Curing cheeses demand an even temperature, and it is next to impossible to preserve one under a hot roof. The old method of opening the windows is detrimental, as the enter ing breezes crack the surface and retard the process of fermentation in the new stock. - ." 1 r It requires something besides age to mature a cheese; it must have an even temperature of at least 75 ! degs. A few hundred cheeses together in a room will mutually aid in curing each other, nence. tne aa vantage oi ; massing new 6toek. The curing room described should be plastered on the three outside walls, and circulation admitted from the top of the windows. M l The most convenient counters are not stationary, but simply long, stoutly con structed tables of two boards each eigh teen inches in width. This will allow cheeses to be arranged in two courses, and the wide boards, which should be of hard wood planed smooth, will prevent cheeses resting over a crack and ridging the surface. The tables can all be laid back out of the wav when the room is empty. When operations begin the ta bles in the rear are filled first; the hand truck can be run freely from the presses to the; back of the room, and tables filled in front as space is needed. ; D. C.

Thomas i Davis, a brakeman on the Georgia Pacific railroad, has brought suit against the road, at Birmingham,' for $50,000, on ac count of injuries received by a projecting rock in a cut of the road, while j in its employ.

The civil service commission has laid before the president the proofs against those officials in the government service at "Wash ington who solicited contribu tions from I office-holders to aid in carrying the Virginia elec tion for Mahone.

Hooker, a member of the Mississippi delegation in Con gress, was a gallant Confederate soldier, arid lost his right arm. His left hand was 'wounded and he wears a glove upon it almost constantly. Maj. Powell, chief or the ereoloerical survey, was a brave soldier on the Union side, and he too came out of the war minus an arm, his left one. He and Gen. Hooker are intimate friends, arid their hands are! of the same size, so when Major Powell wants a glove he buys a pair and says : 'Send the other one to Hooker.' Likewise, when Gen. Hooker's glove gets a little worn he orders a new pair, and says: 'Send the other one to Patten kx flue, Asheville, N. C, J. P. SAWYER, Rev. J. L. CARROLL, J. G. MARTIN, ocl6-ly W.-W. BARNARD, D. C.

Economical Use of Commercial Fertilizers. The economical use of comuiercial fertilisers is one cf the taiost difficult problems vvitli winch farmers have to deal, as in manv cases these are the cheapest fertilizers that can be obtained while in other cases the money paid for them might as well be thrown away, says Professor Tracy in a recent bulletin. ; Commercial fertilizers contain the three necessary elements of plant food in some definite proportions but it is so seldom that a particular crop and field require these elements in exactly the proportions in which they are found in any one of the staple brands, that it is difficult tc decide which it is best to purchase. TTT1 9 wniie it is a simple matter, to mate an analysis of a soil, and of the crop which we may wish to grow upon, it, these analyses tell us little as to what may be the best fertilizer for us to use. The analysis of the soil does not tell us its condition, whether the plant food it con- ' " 1 Si!- Chedeiter's Store Is dointr as lartrior a laraer business than any house in the State, because he sells good goods lower than the lowest, i He defies compe tition. i-.

Plant food in the soil may be araila ble for one plant while it is not so for another, and, for some reason which we are unable to explain, most plants grow best in a soil containing certain available ! elements far in excess of the amounts consumed ingrowth. It is known that an abundance of nitrogen is necessary tc produce a vigorous growth; that potash is necessary for the; production of the woody: parts of the plant, and that phos phoric! acid is largely consumed in the production of the seds: but in order tc produce the best results these elements should be furnished to the soil in differ ent proportions for different plants, and these proportions are by no means those which are found in the plants themselves. What these proportions are the chemist cannot; tell us, and we can learn only by experiment. Cold Frames and Cabbage Plants. A cold frame may be made cheaply, and in the same form as a small hotbed. It i3 best to cover both with glass, al though both are sometimes covered with coarse cotton doth. In the hotbed the heat is chiefly derived from the ferment ing material in the bottom. ' The advan tage to be derived from a cokl frame lies in its shielding the plants from tbe sever ity of th atmosphere, and; when cover ed with glass and with good exposure to the sun, a considerable heat is accumu lated that hastens tbe growth of the plants. The cold frame is most useful at the south. An excellent way to ! raise a few very early cabbage plants is to sow the seeds in shallow, flat boxes contain ing a few inches of fine, rich earth and suspend them in the daytime in windows having a southern exposure. !

In a test made by a leading dairyman, the result of churning 200 times each, of equally divided sweet and acid cream, was that the sweet cream made a few more pounds of butter. But the yield alternated between the two so that each took turns in leading'. The conclusion was that there is no essential difference in yield in the long run, if each is made to do its best. j h i-mm BIS ; ' ' I i . m. mi i Uk ' I1D AND WATER ing physicians in the State for medicinal purposes. m m I M.ah j I 1 . . j s Bar, K5j(rner Main and Eagle Streets; Down Stairs.
