Naarly ten thousand miles o.
railroad were built in the U. S.
last year. the exact figures being
9,35S miles. The nominal cost at
S250C0 a mile was S233. 100000,

In an address before the Weet
Virginia State Teachers Association
here on Wednesday Of last week, the
Hon Charles james Faulkner said
that West Virginia history should
be a part of West Virginia educa-
tion; shat West Virginia had a colo
oial and Vmginian history Of $50
years. He called attention TO the
loss by West Virginia OF four coun-
tiea nov in Southwestern Pennsyl-
yania; the West Virginia lie Of
George Washington and bis owner
ship Of $4,000 acres Of land now in
this State. lie said that Aaron
Burr lail bis plans for the conquest
Of tho Mississippi Valley on soil now
belonging to West Virginia.
Mr.. Faulkner confined his re-
marks to the history Ct the
establishment Of the bound
ary line between Virginia (now Wet
Virginia. and Pennsylvania. He
stated that the territory Of Allie
gdeny, Washington, Green and Fa.
yette Counties in Penn-ylyania was
twice conquered by :he arms and
waiered by the blood Of VIrginiaus,
from 1850 to 1853, during which pc
rod the Legislature Of Pennsylvania
refused money aud men because The
territory was notin Pennsylvania.
lie eaid that in l7GO. and az late
as ITO, Dr. Franklin and three Lon.
don bankers sought to buy these four
counties and some contiguous terri
tory to form a new province, but the
English authorities refused because
part Of the laod belonged to Vr
gnia, aud that delegates for eleven
years we're elected in This dieputed
territory to the Virginia L-glals-
ture. lie farther said Pennsylvania
never made any direct clam to this
territory ill l77G, when Virginia
invited such a claim by declaring
that she would wsiye her right on
the contested line for peace and
harmony which her Commissioner
did ia 1870, and The territory cf
these four counties In the last CEN

Overlooking Pastures.

The oyerstocking of lani is one Of the
surest and quickest ways Of running pas
lures 1t is an everyday thing with many
farmers who cannot be made TO believe that
they are getting the full benefit OF pas
ture unless the grass is eaten of a little
faster than il has time to grow; conse'
quently all who have put this method into
practice. always have bare pastures aud
poor cattle. The advantages to be derived
from allowing the grass to gain on the cat.
tie are many, among which are the follow
ing; Cattle which are kept growing all the
time come to maturity at proper age.
Animals kept constantly on bare pastures
never mature properly; those kept on good
pastures do not have to work day and
night.t satisfy their appetites, or use up
all their food in building up system worn
down by partial starvation. A good Gov
eriug OF grass is protection to a pasture
II is natures protection against bad and
dry weather and the cold rains OF winter,
so that new grass will be growing under a
covering of the old crop. 1t is true that
cattle will thrive better on mixture Of old
and new grass, while the seeding of the
mature grasses VIII keep up the full varie.
ty of those kinds native TO the soil. Con-
sequently pastures thus treated produce
moro food for the stock dnring the year
than those kept constantly eaten down to
the bare earth. The practice OF keeping
pastures in good condition is easily done
on large farms, where reserve fields can
be provided but even the small farmer
can have fertile and renewed fields il he

Boarding Over Old Buildings.

1t is oftentimes the case with buildings
that have been built many years that the
boards become much worn and shrunken,
very thin, with large cracks between them,
requiring that something be dsne to pre-
vent the too free admission Of air and cold
and to add to the comfort OF domestic ami
mails, and TO the comfort aud advantage OF
man IL various ways.
These old buildings built many years ago
have stronger and heavier frames than
those built at the present day and 1t is for
the advantage Of their owners to keep them
in good repair ut the lowest reasonable e1-
pense, consistent with decent regard to
appearances aud practical utility. The
common practice is, when buildings need
boarding over, to strip oil tie old boards
and replace them with new ones. This is
not the correct way; is not done with = full
knowledge Of correct principles.
As before stated. the old boards, oeing
much worn are thin aud Of little value; are
not worth taking of; are split, broken and
otherwise damaged in taking oil, and are
OF little or no practical valne. A far bet
ter way is to LEI the old boards remain on
as they are, mailing them more il needed
and nail the new boards on over them
This has been our practice for years ant
il has been COZ led in this section, resulting
satisfactorily in every instance, and rbonle

Judging irom the table, that the less labor

be remembered, however, that raw bone Of

aud continues to yield up its plant food
for many years in the future. Dissolved
bone usually CONTAINS considerable per-
centage of water added with the snlphnric
acid. which reduces ihe Intrinsic value Of
the fertilizer per ton.
Market gardeners who frrtilixo for each
crop, aud tenant farmers who are liable TO
vacale their grounds 81 short notice can NJ
ford to purchase the dissolved aud highly
manipulated fertilizers, but those farmers
who expect to cultivate their lands for q
long term OF years, aud especially those
who have pastures to improve will often
do better 10 buy literally of the pure
ground raw bone 1t is quite probable
that steaming is the most economical meth
od of preparing bones for fertilizers The
steam takes ont the grease, which in part
pays the cost, aud leaves the limy sub
stance soft enough to grind and in condi-
tion to be easily rotted down by exposure
to the weather. Grease, IT must be re-
membereti, is not fertilizer, neither is
water worth buying, and the drier our fer
tilizers are, other things being equal the
more valuable they are. They are also
more easily distributed aud clog less when
