The county of Writ, through its
attorneys, William Beard, Prosecu-
ting Attorney of Writ county, and
V. b. Archer, of Parkersburg, has
filed bill in chancery in the Cir
cult Court OF Wood county, asking
that receiver be appointed to take
charge of the affairs of the Little Ka-
nawha Navigation Company Writ
county also sues for the recovery of
$44, 300 interest paid by that county
on the bonds issued by the county
to the capital stock of the Little Ka-
nawha Navigation Company. The
applicants also ask for an injunction
pre-. enting the Navigation Company
from further applying the tolls col
lected to the payment of any part of
the interest or principal on the first
mortgage bonds. The attorneys FOR
Writ county claim that the statute
which allowed the subscription to
lie made to the company direct the
company to pay the interest and
provides that it shall not use its
tolls for any purpose, except to pay
operating expenses, before applying
such tolls to the payment of the in

THE QUESTION OF HOLDING

resolution passed by the Sassafrso
Fork Alliance in regard to the trngt
formed on certain grades of tobacco
That resolution asks for the best wav

matter a great deal of thought both
before and after reading the reso.
luton. Delegates from all the tobacco
belt may meet and resolve about hold.
ing their tobacco for better prices and
not to sell until it reaches a certain
price, yet this sad fact still confronts
US: A large majority Of farmers in
the tobacco belt as elsewhere must meet
their debts. Again, tobacco being
very easily damaged and of no stand,
ard value, it would be unsafe to de.
post the tobacco and draw on it as is
done with cotton, even if such ar.
rangements could be made. Tobacco
must be sold when it leaves the plant.
er's hands. Now my plan is Just this:
Buy your tobacco direct from Alliance
manufacturers. No Alliance company
will Of can ever enter any combine
which will have the tendency to injure
so many Of its brethren. There is an
Alliance factory at Dabney, N. c.,
manufacturing both chewing and
smoking tobaccos, which If ~patronized
by Alliancemen as it should be, will
do more to defeat the trust than all
resolutions which can be passed from
this to doomsday. If the factory
spoken of cannot supply the demand,
establish others. If any one else has
a better plan to propose, let us hear
from him.

There is nothing to admire whatever

Everybody has come across such

ENSILAGE.
From The Mary land Farmer.

From The Mary land Farmer.]
One would suppose that the actual
profit of the silo and ensllage vas be-
yond all question, and yet we are fire..
quentIy told that nothing can be
gained by the storing away and feed
ing so much water as is contained in
ensilage; that the dry fodder has all
the nourishment of the green, and ii
properly cut and fed will be eaten as
clean and accomplish as good work as
the ensiiage. At least the sclencllc
theory is to this effect.
But theory and fact do not agree.
The feeding of ensilage in the inst
place goes from two to three times
as far, in actual practice, as that OF
dry fodder. The practice upoe,S the
scientific theory in this respect. Il
fed in the very best manner, the waste
of the dry fodder is vastly greater
than of the ensilage, and it cannot Dc
prevented. Besides, what we call
water in the ensilage has some agency
of which we know nothing, in giving
to the produce from dairy here's .
quality which they cannot get frOm
the dry fodder. a
Practical men have about Se''1U
the fact that the person who at'enR f.
now to keep dairy cattle without sno
help of a silo, is so far behind the Seo
that we modern farmers will nave
take a very large torch and Sss.Us

years to find him. ..,or
The facts are that ensllage Is SsS -
