Brown. ; WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IS THE WAY OF ESTBLISH INO BETTER SCHOOLS. The educational work of the board of missions of the Baptist buvch In Western North Carolina was Interest ingly described In a talk with The Citizen by Rev.;A. E. Brown, assist ant secretary to the board. Mr." Brown was formerly pastor of the West End Baptist church, but re signed to take up the mission work, which he began the middle of last June. The mission board is not attempt ing to establish colleges, but high schools of the better class, Mr. Brown said: f". ... y -'' ';-. ... "When I commenced work we' had one school of this character in the west, which was at Mars Hill. Now we have six others. At Fruitland, In Henderson, county, they are complet ing a building costing from from $3000 to $3500. Then we have the Bellevlew school In Cherokee county, with a building worth probably $1500, and we are getting ready to spend $1000 more on It. At Sylva we are making the brick to build a $4000 house. "In Haywood county I got help in the shape of a gift of. land worth $2400, which was given to me on condition that I raise $1200, and I will rajse fully that much or more. The Clyde church raised $329 of this amount at one time. "At Bakersville, Mitchell county, we have a building that Is worth $2500. nearing completion. I expect to go to Yancey county the third Sunday ' In June to raise $3000 for the building there. . ... "These schools have all closed for this year. All the work has far exceeded mv exDectations, and I have accom plished in one year what I expected to nceomblish in two, at first. The home mission board and the state .mission hnurd are backing- me in this .work. The Baptists have waked Up to the fact that they must have educational facili ties. The Interest In thi work is higher now than I have ever known It, and I have been identified with It nearly all my life. My father was the it nrealdent of Judson college. "At Mars Hill 'we are going to erect two new buildings. - We already have two buildings, we wui aiso uu.m . tabernacle for use In the summer there, niro hove a Bible conference there v- ery summer, also a summer school for teachers, the first session of which will . . ,! .1..

IN THE STUDIO OF ' ; ; AN ASHEVILLE ARTIST " i SOME SPECIMENS OF THE WOR OF MR. WORRALL. A visit to C. A. Worrell's studio at 250 North Main, reveals the fact that, for a man In search of rest, Mr. Wor rall has done a prodigious amount of work since coming to Ashevllle. He has completed several pictures and a number more are In various stages of progress. All of these are -outdoor sketches in oil, the central Idea in ntost of them being figures in the pictu resque drapery ot colonial- times. To the head of a young girl framed In a mo nf Itmle blossoms he has given , ...ma "Horinr Plowers." In this niPture the detail is brought out elab orately, and the effect is one of great richness and refinement. Mr. Worrall believes in impression Ism as Incidental to art, and not as being the ultimate definition of it. In "A Daughter of the Revolution" he hi iimmnnnri tfi " hli ' Bid " the best that impressionism can offer, but the picture a quaint,, highbred alrl of Janice Meredith's time is nev ertheless faithful to reality and detail He has a keen color sense, and man ages to secure the most decided color effects, combined with the utmost softness. "The Oracle" is a mid snrlnir landsraDe ' wherein the full strength of the palette has been em ployed, and yet the whole Is combined to secure a charmingly soft spring at mosphere. vMr. Worrall Is fortunate In selecting exactly the right : atmosphere and handling for his pictures. "Waiting" Is a sketch which has been treated with a most sympathetic touch. There Is a delightful sense of repose In the features of the young girl lirthe fore ground, and the same feeling Is found In the drapery, the foliage, and in the atmosphere itself. . He has a sketch which represents probably half an hour's actual work, and much study, which Is called "The Last Glow." The gorgeous beauty of one of our Carolina sunsets has been Imprisoned on the canvas, and com bines with the wondrous depth of the landscape to make one of the most de lightful of his pictures. All of these pictures were made to fill orders. .Most of them are to be reproduced In colors, and some In black and whit also. t 1 1 1 1 ,,T, T " DESIGNS fa H Will mm i:riTi TRADE-MARKS ril I 111 J I at N0 COPYRIGHTS, - - aaaaai W OBTAINED ADVICE Al TO ei-rraTinn ity wmy i '" in - inventive ac " " " W l Wt 1 11 I IKTIIW Okarjjrt mp,irrtr, ?, flie ti'l patent ia i-ecntaj.

Duck raising, like every other Indus try, has its Interesting and uninterest ing Bide, Its amusing and annoying side, Its agreeable and disagreeable eatures, Its pro tits and its losses. The birds themselves are extremely Interesting from a naturalist's stand "point, especially In contrasting their ways with those of chickens. For in stance, we know how steady diet palls upou the taste of the-, barnyard fowU and bow beneficial to them are a va riety of grains and the. tidbits from the table. Now, ducks prefer the same grains In the same proportion, month, in and month out Tidbits they disdain. Even a deviation In cornmeal from yellow to white will sometimes throw them off their feed for several days, especially If fattening. Again, Chanticleer admits of no rival. The best kind rules the roost, and bill and Bpur settle the question promptly and without palaver A strange cock introduced into the yard receives treat ment the opposite to friendly. Drakes, however, so far as my observation goes, belong to the commune; one Is as good as another. Introduce a strange drake Into the flock. They will take him up, observe toward him a kind of Bostonian reserve for a day or so, then he Is admitted to all the privileges of the elect The drakes do not forage for ducks as do the cocks for hens, and usually It Is a duck that leads In their expeditions, the drakes bringing up the rear or hovering on the flanks. They run to the fore promptly, how ever, In the time of trouble. (It has been suggested that they sympathize with the woman's Tsuff rage movement) I remember one fall the flock was on the opposite side of the river. The wa ter was high, currents strong, and ice formed across just below us. At night they crossed with some difficulty and were starting up for their supper when distressed quack from the ! other shore checked them. Two drakes drop ped out of the ranks, and the rest con tlnued like a moving snow bonk up the hillside to the house. Again came the agonized quack. One of the ducks for some reason feared to cross. The drakes stood at the edge of the bank and consulted; then, tbey separated, one going down stream, evidently searching for an easy landing. They wade their selection in a snorter time than it takes to tell and then talked across instructions to the lone female anxiously watching their operation. She auacked back her expostulations, and they waxed and encouraged. Final ly she plunged In, swam a few feet turned and quacked back to land. The drakes pleaded In vain. She bad lost her nerve. They appeared at their wits end, but finally dashed Into the river and Presently waddled up the opposite shore. The three exchanged a sentiment or two and returned to the water; the duck in the middle. Slow ly and carefully the drakes piloted her over V dry land and then exchanged congratulations over the happy ternu- nation of their adventures all tne way op to their supper. Miss F. E. Wheel er, Chazy. N. Y. ' Sound Advice Il Brief. . From a lecture by J A. Xllllhghast of the Rhode Island Poultry school the following advice to poultrymen is con densed: ' ' .f . A poultry raiser must have applica tion, patience, persistence and In every sense of the word be a hustler. Do not begin too expensively. Remember v- ery dollar you put into business ,1s an Interest bearing factor' and, must be ac counted for out of .your profits. Ex pensive or fancy buildings are not necessity, but convenience of labor and proper conditions are. Make your plant cost as little as possible, but do not sacrifice convenience or proper conditions under any circumstances, Be on the alert for every new idea In your business, but do not be greedy and attempt to swallow more than you can digest -; Always know your business. Keep strict accounts and records and study them. A good system, of accounts is the surest guide you can have to sue cess in any business, and you will find farming to be no exception, though comparatively few farmers keep them, f Study your markets, the particular likes and dislike of your customers, Learn to fill every want, and Just as they wlslr it,, and never know more than your customers. If you wish to make changes In any way, do It in such a manner that they will think they are the ones maklug the change, rather than you. Above all, look after the details, for no department of the farm needs such close attention to the many little de tails or will suffw bo quickly for lack of, attention as this. Careful attention to these details, a love for the work and a never falling will to succeed under any and every , condition win bring you success. Never depend upon luck. Doea It Pay to Preserve Esgaf It matters not how eggs may be pre served for future nse, they cannot be made to retain that appearance which Is so noticeable when eggs are fresh. It Is doubtful if it pays to preserve eggs unless at points where prices are extremely low. Those who buy eggs in order to store them away for winter must lock up capital equal to the value of the eggs until they are told, and there is also a proportion of losses from breakage, bad eggs, etc- to say noth ing of the cost of collecting them from time to time, as well as the labor of preserving them. The price of such eggi are often less than at the time of the storage, as "limed" egg have . poor reputation and will not bring high prices, often being not mote than half the price of fresh eggs. There is no obstacle in the way of htm who sells only fresh eggs, ao far m limed eggs are concerned, as fresh egga are prod ucts distinctly separate from all other k!nds.-rouItry Keeper.

Mr. Meeker, who had gone to tne front door to answer the postman's ring, put his head inside the door of the room where his wife was sitting. It's a letter for me, my dear," he said. "Shall I open It?" ' . How to Improve the Hall. Lime juice and glycerin for the hair Is a good, old fashioned remedy which should be more widely used now If people desire good, thick hair. Prepare It by mixing half a pint of lime juice. a quarter of a pint of rosewatcr. two ounces of glycerin, two ounces of recti fied spirit and 30 drops of oil of lemon. This will keep well and should be rub bed thoroughly Into the scalp once or twice a week. Scratching; SUeda. Four years' experience with these shows uie their advantages. Man who use them go to the expense of In closing them In addition to poultry netting with waterproof muslin stretched on frames Inside of netting I have had better results in the use of burlap sacking. 1 fasten it by nailing Inth through the edges outside of net ting. Ualn will follow muslin placed Inside. Snow will lodge and thaw. keeping the floor wet. I have found burlap sufficiently close to exclude all wind, rain and snow, yet it Is open enough to admit air and an astonishing amount of sunshine. . I have no use for dust bins as such. My hens nevel in dust In any part of shed or pen. ... ' ; For scratching material, perfection Is found in shredded cornstalks. This Is far better than straw, chaff, hay or leaves, In that it will not pack. Small grain sinks In it and baa to be scratch ed out The broken corn blades are eaten and relished, furnishing welcome variety. I am careful not to put in too much at once, as a great depth will discourage rather than encourage scratching. Try lt-'-George O. Acton In Reliable Poultry Journal. A Hoantaa- Winner. This B. C.

China Eg Iajarlona. A china egg in a nest is always of the same temperature as the atmos phere; hence when the thermometer records zero the egg is also zero. The temperature of the body of a hen is al lut 102 degrees. When a hen goes on a nest to lay and her body (the naked portion) comes in contact with the ice cold substance, it is torture, and she also loses heat and becomes chilled. It does not pay to use food for warming china or glass eggs by the hens. Cover them with white flannel or some oilier matprlal. Poultry Keen er.

Mr. -Ilnlteock blacaaaea a Dai( Thai Threaten Tula Breed. , Under this title Mr. II. S. Babcock, lu The Country Gentleman, makes some very pertinent remarks along Hues which have been much discussed In the showrooms this scutum. It Is a very rest and not a fancied danger that Mr. B&bcock points out. At the same time tho duugur Is so fully rec ognized by mauy Wyandotte breeders that there Is good reasou to suppose that another year or two will see the breed a safe distance from It Among other things Mr. Babcock says: The fowl called Wyandotte Is In no danger of extinction. There were nev er more bred than now, but the trouble Is that the so called Wyandotte is a Wyandotte only In name. For what makes a fowl a Wyandotte? Is It comb? No, for, though a rose comb Is the standard characteristic, other breeds have rose combs, and some real Wyandottes have had single and pea combs. Is it color t No; If the laced birds only had existed, as their mark ings were distinct from those of other, breeds, 'it might have been plausibly argued that color really did make the breed. The argument would not have been valid, though It would have had a fair appearance, but since the breed has become so variegated in color by the addition of buff, black and white varieties what plausibility once exist ed In the argument has disappeared. What, then, really does make a Wyan dotte? The distinguishing characteris tic of a Wyandotte Is 'blocklness.' A bird which Is not blocky, no matter how It has been breed, does not de serve the name of Wyandotte. ' A bird of medium slie, with rose comb, clean and rather short shanks and a very blocky build that Is the real Wyan dotte, and that Is the bird which is In danger of extinction. I feel that the time has arrived when a cry of warning should be rais ed. Breeders should cease from striv ing to produce big birds and should re turn to the production of blocky birds unless they wish to confess that the yyandotte Is a failure, Its type very Inferior to that of the Plymouth Bock and that the form of the bird ought to be changed. To breed to the Plym outh Bock type la to make this con fession. And judges ought to return to the old ways, recognize what a Wyandotte Is and what the standard says it Is and put the prizes upon true Wyandottes, medium sized, blocky birds. Of course it will be understood that I do not condemn all the judges,; for there are some who have not bow ed their knees to this Baal, but I do condemn the practice, by whoever fol lowed, of Ignoring the old fashioned and the present standard Wyandotte and awarding prizes to rose combed Plymouth Rocks under the name of Wyandottes. The evil Is one that our judges can do more than any one else to correct, for breeders will produce the birds that will win, and, whatever type the judges favor, that the breed ers will show."
