HILLSIDE FARMING.

Ehe Expsrisnce OF . Man Who Know
How 70 Observe Things.
MANY farmers cultivate and hoe their
crops too deep I used to think Tor
rather did it without thinlxing) that it
was the proper thing to let the culti-
vator run just as deep as l could, and
then follow with the hoe in the same
way. This was Q mistake, as by SO
doing not only cut and tore off many
of the very strongest and best roots,
that were giving my crop the very life
Il needed, but also caused the ground
to become drier, and made it heavy
work for my team and men. We should
cultivate and hoe our crops as shallow
- possible. thus leaving the fibrous
roots undisturbed to grow and nourish
the plant At the same time the thin
layer Of earth that we stir acts in the
most perfect manner as s'mulch.
To prevent hillsides from washing,
first plow lengthwise with the hill and
never up and down. BY SO doing, each
furrow, to . certain degree and for
long time, acts as q sort of dam, and
holds the heavy rains back from wash
ing. Next, be sure to plant with the
drills running lengthwise of hill, and
you thus make your crop and its roots
act - Q solid turn-water. Then the
constant cultivation you give the crop
has Q tendency to make a sort Of valley
between the drills, which holds the
water back, whereas If your rows run
mn and down the hillside, each space
forms Q perfect water drain for the
heavy showers to fill mp. and the water
will rush down hill, outlying out your
land badly. More than this. if one will
take the trouble to run several furrows
with the plow lengthwise of the hill
between every tenth row of plants,
and not disturb it in cultivating, he
viii hnd he has a perfect stop water,
and his hillside will be preserved from
gullies and washing badly.-Cor. Coun-
try Gentleman.

bread for Poultry.

Waste stale bread can be bought at
nominal price from large hotels and
bakeries Nothing better can be fed
to chickens with vegetables and proper
seasoning than stale bread. Being as
it is cheap and healthful food. it
often appears to me strange that more
poultrymen do not buy and feed 1t.
If you feed large numbers OF fowls 1t
Is . great saving in feed, particularly
during spring and summer. when it is
more easily relished Young chicks
should have it often, and mixed with
the morning feed it digests easily and
fattens moderately, and has the ele-
meuts Of bone.malking materials We
hope those who have as yet used it but
very moderately will look more care
fully into the question and test its
worth = . proper food for fowls-

The Deficiency.

Mr.. Foster may think that his de-
ficiency is only about 100000, but
it is really nearer $40. 100000. More
than $40,000,000 belonging to the
National banks, and held in trust by
the Treasury for the redemption of
bank notes, was embezzled by the
last Congress and much of it has
been expended. 1t is still due, how
ever, and the banks may call for it
at any time. Indeed, it is drawn
against every week. There is moth
ing for the President to do, apparent
ly, except to order the Secretary to
use the $l00,000,O0O of gold reserve
which he ought not to touch, and to
ask Congress as soon as it meets for
authority to negotiate a new loan.
The country is far from being in
the comfortable circumstances that
short time ago made it happy. On
the contrary it is on the brink of
bankruptcy, entirely owing to the
criminal extravaganza of the reckless
politicians, who have been able to
squander the resources of the people
by reason of their control of the exec
utive and Legislative branches of
the Goyernment.-N.Y Y. World.

The two most costly things to the
people of this county, are fiat roads
and too many roads.
A fat road is a flat fraud, without
excuse and without possible pallia-
ton, unless it be to waste the peo-
pies money. We waste more money
in fiat road making than would build
and maintain the Court House and
all the school houses and other pub
lie buildings of the entire county.
We have flat roads enough to impov-
erish the richest county in the State
The next most expensive thing to
fiat road, is an unnecessary road.
The county is trying to maintain a
public road to every mans barn. AS
soon as a new barn or COW stable
goes up in the county, viewers are put
upon route to open a"public road"
to it.
We will never have good roads I'M
til the county shall declare about
three fourths of the existing roads
private roads, and then determines
that it will maintain only such lead
ing roads as are necessary to reach
the extremities of the county in diff
ferent directions. Expend the pub
lie revenue on few leading roads to
make them passable at all seasons of
the year and let those who want by
ways to their farms and barns main
tain them at their own expense. An
engineer should be commissioned to
determine the county highways from
East to West and North to South
across the county, and these and no
others should be declared county
roads. Then the county could af-
ford to make them respectable, and
everybody would be benefited.

LAST Friday a singular accident
took place at the oil well on the
farm of Milton Wilson, in Mononga-
liza County. There was a tank house
over two tanks, each containing
about $50 barrels of oil. The
pumper, young man by the name
of Jones, went to the tank house and
as soon as he opened the door an
explosion took place, which blew
Jones some distance and burnt him
severely about the head and shout
ders. The tank house and both tanks
as well as about 400 barrels of oil,
were destroyed. One hundred bar
rels were run into the pipe line just
before the fire. The only solution
of the accident is that Jones either
lighted match or stepped on one
which ignited it.-Fatrmont Iader.

Major Bowen Killed.

Our entire community was shock
ed at the news of the terrible death
that came to our fellow citizen, Mai.
Lot Bowen, on last Saturday even
ing. Mr.. Bowen had started to the
eastern market with load of cattle
and when at Newburg decided to
jump off the car, opposite a certain
store, in order to procure piece of
rope to be used in haltering up some
stock. He had no sooner leaped
from the running train than he was
caught by helper engine on anoth-
er track and instantly killed, the
car wheels passing over him and
severing his body in two. The re-
mains were prepared for burial at
Newburg and shipped to Wilson
burg in care of a b. & 0. official Sun
day morning. He was buried near
his home on Sycamore Creek. His
family being scattered and his wife
dead, he lived alone. No blame
seems to be attached to any parties
in regard to the accident-Clarks-
bury Telegram. Major Bowen was
well known in Monongalia County
and throughout this section of coun-
try. His wife was a daughter of
John Wright deceased, highly re-
spected citizen of Greene County,
Pa Major Bowen was visiting here
two weeks ago and his sudden and
horrible death was the occasion of
much regret to his large circle Of
friends.

The republican party is compass

The republican party is compass
ed about with legion of opponents
Besides it's old and honorable enemy
it has the Alliance, the Third party
Prohibutionists and the Silverites
Besides all these it is beginning to
feel serious detection in its owr
ranks among the colored men. They
have asked again and again "What
has the republican party done for
u.s.? and have been answered with
empty promises until patience has
ceased to be virtue. The colored
brother now proposes to assert his
rights and claim his share of recog-
milton. The way it open to him.
Without his vote the republicans
would hardly have the faintest glim.
mer of hope of carrying a single
state. Without his vote even the
great states of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Illinois would be solidly demo
cratic. The colored man will never
be recognized by the republican
party.

Beechwood.

BEEcHwooD, June 29,-As several cop
les of your paper arrive here each week
and are eagerly read, thought perhaps
it would be well enough to tell you some
thing concerning our village. Beech
wood is a mining town and owned by
the Hutchinson Coal & Coke Co. 1t is
situated II miles above Morgantown on
the F., M. d P. r. r. and within q
stones throw OF the Big Falls on the
Monongahela river.
We have as good drinking water as can
be found in the country. The famous
old spring known far and near by old
settlers for its healing qualities. am
told that 80 or 40 years ago people came
several miles to drink OF this mineral
water and carried large quantities of il
home with them. The name formerly
given it was "Callie Beech"
There are quite number OF miners
living here now and three new houses
are being erected for others. Yet we
have no school house; we need one bad
ly as our population is increasing fast
four having been added within the last
four weeks, besides several emigrants.
The miners are all doing we'll making
TO dollars per day and have privilege
Of dealing where they choose, but most
OF us deal with the company as they give
us as good bargains as we can get else
where.
The Hutchinson Bros. are opening
coal mines at Opekiska, which will be
in operation soon.
A good many of the farmers have cut
their wheat, while others expect to
finish this week.
No weddings to report this week but
we expect to report several in the next
week or two.
When one of our miners gets married
we all throw in our loose change and set
him up for housekeeping, provided he
has been liberal HIMSELF if not we
brand him and he receives nothing
We expect to loose our Junior clerk
and blacksmith soon. Oh, cupid's dart !!

1t is evident that the next Con-
gress will be called upon to order the
issuance of new government bonds to
raise money to meet the govern
ment expenditures, which have
increased beyond the public
revenue, on account of the extrava-
giant appropriations of Reed s
Congress. The people of this coun-
try have patiently borne the burdens
of the public debt from sense of
patriotic duty, with the satisfaction
of knowing that the debt was steadi-
ly decreasing, and, under an eco
nomic administration of the govern
ment, would soon be entirely wiped
out. The increase of the public
debt, which carries with it the in
crease of the individual burdens of
the people, will not be looked upon
with favor by the masses, they will
realize that billion dollar Congresses
are costly luxuries.

There are FIVE houses in process Of
erection on Peasants street. With
in the next thirty days, we under
stand, large three story commercial
building will be begun on the vacant
lot corner of Main and Peasants.
DIR. Hartigan is erecting dwelling
on Spruce. The Hayes brothers are
building in the rear of their store
They have another building almost
completed near their residence. Miss
SADIE Coyle & Co., are about to begin
a large dwelling on the Seminary lot.
Prof. White will break ground in a
few days for fine residence on his
Wilson property at the head of town.
Mr.. Grant will build residence near
there on his own lot. The Universe
ty will begin one or two new build
ings this Summer, finish the Com
mencement hall, and build wings to
the present west college building.
Mr.. Posten is erecting dwelling on
Front street, and Judge Berkshire is
enlarging his residence on the same
street.
This is an incomplete and hasty
summary of what may be seen at a
glance, of the building operations
now in progress. We have mention
ed only those that will be completed
this Summer. There are others-for
instance our new Court House-that
will continue little longer, or be be-
gun little later, that are not includ-
ed in our list.
But this is enough to show that
our boom is still on, and growing
quietly but uniformly in a way that
will presently make great change
in this town. Ten years ago the
sight of SO many new buildings in
process of erection would have para
lyzed the average Morgantowner. We
now look upon it as matter of course,
and as a matter Of course it is going
to go right on.
