OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
West Virginia Letter.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, FEB 10. 1919.
EDITOR JOURNAL :-"Ayes, thirty
eight noes, twenty seven; so the bill
is passed Such was the announce
ment Of the speaker of the House of
Delegates of West Virginia at half
past seven o'clock P NJ, Saturday,
Feb. 10, 1878. This announcement
was the result Of the vote on the bill
for the temporary removal of the
seat of government from Charleston
to Wheeling. The bill had previously
been passed by the Senate by vote
of thirteen to eleven. Under our
constitution it now goes to the Cover
nor for his approval or disapproval,
and he has five days in which to
make return. In case he disapproves,
it simply requires a majority OF all
the members elected to the two houses
of the Legislature to pass it over his
veto when it becomes a law, unless it
be declared to be unconstitutional
bv the Supreme Court Of the State.
1t is thong ht that the Governor will
neither approve or disapprove within
the allotted five days. Under such
circumstances it becomes law by
Imitation subject, of course to a pos
sible decision of the Court.
This bill has caused considerable
feeling and excitement, and has called
out the entire strength of both its
friends and its enemies The fight
has waxed hot and has been long, but
the remoyalists have so for prevailed,
and the probabilities now are that
ION and after ninety days from the
passage of this bill the act Of govern
ment shall (wllD be in the city of
Wheeling until otherwise fixed by
law
The question of who shall be [. S.
Senator is not yet settled, although
over eighty ballots have been taken
in caucus and joint ballot and the
question seems to be no nearer being
solved than it was three weeks ago,
Walker still keeps ahead. He is the
only candidate who has shown any
solid strength, and was only kept
from the caucus nomination last week
by strong "illibustering" on the
part Of his opponents. The Legis-
lature will adjourn on the Goth of
this month. In all probability, some
one will be elected before that day.
If not, the Governor will appoint
some one of his friends until the next
Legislature assemblies two years
hence.*

ABOUT FATTENING CATTLE.

The price of cattle fattened for mar
ket depends on the symmetry of the
animal, as we'll as the "fat" style, as
shippers term it. Good blood is import
ant, but not absolutely necessary to
make what is termed a good seller In
order to fatten steer to bring the
highest market price, he must be kept
in growing condition from calf, and
in no case allowed to go hungry 1t
is the starving the first and second win
tiers which willis and shrvels up a steer,
that cause him to be sold at a reduced
price No amount of feeding will make
frst-class seller, no difference what
his color or blood An animal well fed
of any blood, from calf until the spring
he is three years old, will be smooth,
with bones we'll covered and will sell at
a profit while a half-starved animal
becomes crooked in the back, bones pro-
jecting and shrivelled up, takes the best
part of the Summer to get in condition
to live, and will not be in condition for
market until he is four years old, and
will then bring price unsatisfactory to
the producer and to every one that
handles him. This is no theory, but
fact deduced from close observation, as
l have tested the plan for several years
1t will and does pay to feed corn to
calves and to yearlings. They start
out to grass in the Spring strong and
vigorous. You are then able to market
your cattle the Spring they are three
years old, weighing 400 pounds, which
is heavy enough to bring the first price.
The best steer | sold in 1872 was a
common native He had all he could
eat from Gait, and was never hungry.
He was handsome animal, and was
worth more per pound than any |
shipped in 1872 He weighed in Chi
cago 1850 pounds, aged three years.
l now have steer calf, eleven months
old, from a very ordinary COW. The
calf now weighs geo pounds; l think
it will weigh at three years, 1900
pounds.

WALKING VS.. TRoTTING HoRsEs-A

WALKING VS.. TRoTTING HoRsEs-A
writer in the Prairie Farmer COM
plains that all the premiums offered at
agricultural fairs for the performance of
horses go for trotting or running and
none for walking. He says the various
agricultural societies say nothing of
walking, which the farmers are most in
terested in. have often wondered why
that was overlooked and hoped that
some one would bring it before the So
cieties. What benefit is race horses
to farmer? If he wants to run or
trot him for premiums or stakes it will
not do to work him as farm horses have
to work
Besides fast horses, generally, are not
able to stand heavy work, and are not
apt to be extra walkers. What the
farmers wants is close-made muscular
horse, weighing from 1000 to 1900
pounds, that can walk at least four miles
an hour with q cultivator, or at that rate
crossing the field. 1t costs no more for
a hand to drive team that will plough
three acres per day, than it would to
drive one that would pillow only two
acres; and good hand, or one that
tries to earn his wages, would. And
why not offer premiums for fast walking
oxen which are needed as much as fast
horses

WHY CATTLE REQUIRE SALT.-W

WHY CATTLE REQUIRE SALT.-We
know why the animal Graves salt, and
why it ultimately falls into disease if
salt is for a time withheld Upwards
of half the saline matter of the blood,
(57 per cent?, consists of common salt
and as this is partly discharged every
day through the skin and kidneys, the
necessity of continued supplies of it to
the body becomes sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda as a special
and indispensable constituent, and SO
do all the cartilages of the body
Therefore, if the supply of salt be
stinted neither will the bile be able
properly to assist the digestion, nor the
cartilages be built up again as they
naturally waste.
And when we consider it to be a fact,
that without salt man would miserably
perish, as among horrible punishments
entailing certain death, that of feeding
culprits on saltless food is said to have
prevailed in barbarous times, we may
become partially convinced. at least, of
the necessity of feeding salt to our
stock-that it is one of the necessaries
as we'll as one of the luxuries of life for
man and beast; and it should be pro-
fusely provided at short intervals, in
proper places, if it cannot be kept by
them continually, so that each and every
animal may satisfy the demands of his
nature. Then it shall not he said of
US, that while our pudding is we'll sea-
soned and sailed, our stock are allowed
to suffer for want of the same ingredi-
ent, which is as truly necessary for
their food as for ours.-PRoF. JOHNSON

OATMEAL AS FOOD" Cassell's Mag

OATMEAL AS FOOD" Cassell's Mag
azine" says of oatmeal: We have call
ed it the food for bone as well as brain,
muscle as we'll as mind To the labor
ing or artizan class it commends itself
as an article of diet on account of it's
cheapness and the readiness and encon-
omy with which it can be cooked and,
while it is easily digested, it contains,
as we have seen, a larger proportion
than wheaton bread of the elements
that go to form bone and muscle. The
best Scotch oatmeal costs twopeDce
pound ; and this contains far more true
nourishment, in the opinion of some
medical men, than the same weight of
Liebig's Extract. 1t cemmends itself
to literary men and all who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brains.
There are, as we happen to know,
several well known authors who, though
born and bred this side the Tweed,
nevertheless swear by oatmeal porridge
as a brain inspiring compound Then,
as to its palatableness, we ourselves
have long held the belief that not only
is porridge rich in nutritive matter, but
when nicely cooked and eaten with new
milk is simply delicious-a dainty dish,
fit, indeed, to set before any king.

THE BLOOD.LEAVED BEECH.

Among the most beautiful of trees in
its Spring vegetation is the blood-leaved
beech. 1t is one of the first to attract
attention; and when once one is in pos
session of good specimen, almost any
tree would sooner be parted with than
this. OF course some of this is due to
the fact that it is a more expensive tree
to procure than ordinary trees. 1t is
variety Of green-leaved-a sprout which
some years ago appeared among seed
ling beeches, and can only be continued
in good condition by grating Hence
the common green-leaved has to be
taken as the stock on which to graft it,
and thus there is not only the extra
labor which the grating calls for, but
the extra time it takes to grow plant
the head of the stock having to be
cut away to put the purple one on.
Still they are not so very expensive.
Good plants can be had in most nur
series now at about ST. so each.
In some parts of Europe the large
trees of the purple beech produce seeds,
and when these are sown, produce plants
with more or less color in them. These
are usually sold as copper-beeches, and
though they come out dark in the Spring,
soon get green again. This is pecu-
liarity of the blood-leaved beech, and
indeed of all blood-leaved trees, that as
the season advances the leaves lose
much of their Spring brilliancy. The
best of the forms of blood-leaved beech
will do this but the best-selected dark
variety, perpetuated by grating, will
last longer than any of them; indeed,
there will be some color in a good form
of this plant even when the Fall comes.
In regard to the proper soil or place
for purple beech, it is one Of those
trees which look best quite alone by
itself, as special object to look at A
rich, rather dry, stony ground is the
best for it to grow in, but it does well
anywhere where it is not quite wet. If
any one who has not bleod-leaved
beech will plant it, they will have some
thing that will always give pleasure,
both to themselves and their friends.
