The kilt was i suppressed by act of parliament in jlil.i. after the Jacobite rebellion, and though it was tolerated at a later dute, It never became popular again. The-earliest mention of the kilt Is to be found in an obscure passage of the Norwegian history *,f Mugnus | Barefoot, a king.of that country who I came to the Hebrides in the Eleventh 1 century. It appears that the dress of | those days consisted of a sort of skirt, | dyed or painted, and a mantle, the former being the original of the kilt ■ and the latter of the plaid. In “Letters froiu (lie North of Scot land,” published in 17% the author describes the High landers as wearing “a bonnet made of thrum, without a ' brim ; a short eoui, a waistcoat longer by five or six Inches; short stockings, , and brogues without heels. Over this habit they wear a plaid, which is usu ally three yards Jong and two breadths and the whole garb is, made of chequered tartan.” Old Sea Superstition The Flying Dutchman was a phan tom ship seen by sailors In tempestu ous weather off the Cape of Good Hope, and considered the forerunner of 111 luck. The generally accepted tradition, as stated by Sir Walter Scott, is “{'hat slu' was originally a vessel loaded with great wealth, on board of which some horrid act of mur der and piracy had been committed; that the plague broke out among the wicked crew, who had perpetrated the crime, and that they sailed in vain from port to port, offering, as the price of shelter, the whole of their Ill gotten wealth; that they were exclud ed from every harbor for fear of the contagion which was devouring them; and that, as a punishment of their crimes, the apparition of the ship still continues to haunt those sens in which the catastrophe took place."—Kansas City Times.

POULTRY DAMAGED BY DISINFECTANTS (I'jcj*ar*Ml Uy ♦ »>«* Unttf-vl State* Department ct Avrn uliui' ) As a result of ih*‘ widcspreud use of cheap coal tar products with a Uron;’ riirholh* acid odor for disinfect ing poultry houses and coups, large quantities of poultry, contaminated with the odor have been received ut miuk* of the Idc mark eta. The bureau of animal Industry, l'ntte<l SUi'es De partment of .Agriculture, has received con hl.iinis from handlers of market poultry who have suffered heavy losses heciuise of the imsalahllit\ of tainted fowl, one large tirm reporting u loss of $lO,<mo on four cars. Hectittse of t he 11 ppea nrrrrtr rrf Kuro penn fowl pests in certain parts of the country, fanners throughout tiie Hast and Middle West, through fear of this disease, have been doing much more disinfecting than usual. In many instances chemicals with strong and offensive odors have 1"- p Used, many of them not in the list approved by Hie department, and in some cases the results have heeli aggravated hy the failure to dilute the product. Birds kepi in houses ><> treated, or shipped in crates reeking with the odors, ab sorb them into their bodies, where they remain after the lards have been killed and dressed. It Is thought that another source of the contamination in dressed birds may have been feed on which the chemicals have been sprayed. When such penetrating odors are present in t lie disinfectant used tlie birds should net he marketed with in less than two weeks of the time It was used and then not In crates re cently so treated. ('ooiis and poultry houses should al ways he thoroughly cleansed before disinfecting. A good plan Is where possible to scrub the interior w ith hot lye solution or scalding hot water. Such cleaning solutions are themselves good disinfectants. If scalding hot water is not available, the coops may tie disinfected with a 4 per cent solu tion of formaldehyde. While this dis infectant lias n very pungent, disagree able smell, tlie odor soon disappears. If the poultry are marketed for sev eral weeks a three per cent solution of compound solution of ereosol or a product of similar compositon may We employed. Any coal tar disinfectant is apt to leave an odor which will gradually disappear. , Many cheap products are now being sold in response to the unusual de mand which lias arisen since the ap pearance of the fowl pest. In certain sections peddlers are taking advantage of the situation and are going to tiie farms with a great variety of cheap disinfectants, sometimes doing the work for the farmer. .Some of them are selling strong smelling by-products from local gas plants. The department wishes to encourage efforts at* disease prevention, even though much of tlds work is being done in regions far removed from any point where fowl pest has been tound, but urges farmers to use the above mentioned methods.1 which will not leave a taint in the fowls when offered to the consumer. Sodium Fluorid Useful in Treating Poultry Sodium Humid is an insecticide used in treating poultry for lice by plac ing just a small hit of It at different points in the feathers of the fowl where lice an* usually found. Al though it is a poisonous substance, the poultry do not seem to get enough of rt into their digestive system to cause trouble. If used on cattle there would he more danger of poisoning, because cattle would be more likely to get it into their digestive system by licking themselves. For cattle a mixture of one-half powdered sabudlllji seed and one-half sulphur is favored. This can be spread along the hacks and necks of cattle where the lice are most likely to he, and will he found quite effective in keeping them in check so that they i will cause very little trouble to the' enttle. 00 | Poultry Facts otoo OOO O Caponlze the cockerels. • • • Goslings never eat much during the i first few days. • • • Chicks given the right kind of start in life have many advantages over those receiving only indifferent care. • • * It is very Important not to feed the poults too heavily, especially the first few weeks.

At present the number of gold mines in working condition its North Carolina are few, confined to Meck lenburg, Davidson, Stanly and Mont gomery counties. However, there are numerous others which have been worked, from time to time.

Monazite is another mineral found in commercial quantities in North Carolina but conditions brought about by reduction in price have caused this industry to practically cease in this state.
