CALLINS CITY DIRECTORY. FOR
1896

A Register reporter obtained from Mr.
Calm yesterday some points pertaining
to his forthcoming Wheeling and sub
urban towns Directory for 1896, and is
fully convinced from the amount Of pre-
liminary work that has already been
done to procure data and the steps that
have already been taken to get ready
for the next years Directory,
that from every indication Cal
lns Wheeling City Directory for 1896
viii. without doubt, be the most COM
plete work Of the kind that has ever
been attempted in this city. Mr.. Cal
lin has just issued a Prospectus, set
ting forth some Of the many important
features that will be embodied in his
new book, and every business man in
Wheeling should aim to look into the
merits of this matter before signing for
any opposition publication. Mr. Calm
Oeaving aside the fact that he has been
identified with this work in our city
for the past is years and entitled TO
some consideration on this account is
without a doubt better qualified to do
this work than any other man IN our
city. so that ms ability and long exper-
:ence in every detail of the Directory
business, as well as the fact that he has
always aimed to do good, conscientious
work, coupled with the guarantee that
he makes in his Prospectus for 1896, for
prompt delivery, accuracy and complete
ness. is certainly entitled to
careful consideration on the part of the
business men of this city before turning
him down.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THANKSGIVING ATTRACTION.

THANKSGIVING ATTRACTION.
The attraction at the Opera House
for two nights and Thanksgiving mat
inee is Hopkins Trans-Oceanic Star

MANAGEMENT of Mr. Robert Fulgora.
-Four of the greatest novelties from
Europe have been secured, and that,
added 10 the very best of native
specialties making in all ten in num-
Der. presents a personnel that is con-
coded to be the most eXtravagant
vaudeville organization in America.
The features are, the dainty and pheno-
menal Rossow Brothers, "Tbe Shadows
Of Lilliputia." That theirs is the most
successful and highest salaried act
in America to-day is beyond question.
In q word, they are a revelation. Their
equals have never been seen, the laugh
ter that accompanies their heavy weight
lifting and boxing bouts has never
been more hilarious and lasting, for
the most successful comedians.
LITTLE TRIXIE.
The Grand Opera House should be
filled THANKSGIVING and the balance Of
the week to see Little TriXie." Miss
Robbins is a bright, piquant little Irish
comedienne, who sings and dances eX-
ceedingly well, and has pronounced
versatility, as she assumes five different
characters. The play is a musical
comedy of a refined order, and is re-
plete with many excellent specialties,
being particularly pleasing to the more
discriminating theatergoers.
AT THE GRAND.
A finer speciality company than the
one appearing at the Grand Opera
House has never visited Wheeling, and
it is doubtful if one will in many a year
1t is the Boston Howard Athenaeum
Star Speciality Company, and it is made
up of artists of the highest type. Many
of the acts present something entirely
new to us, on this side of the briny
deep. The boxing contest between Nc
Bride anC Walton is an exciting one,
and works the audience up to almost
a betting point A matinee will be
given this afternoon and the engage
ment will close tonight Seats are on

Director Connell of the Texas expert
ment station writes as foiows:
In reply to the hard question, as to the
breed of hogs, asked by Mr.. Thomas Of
Arkansas in your issue of Sept. IA, l will
first ask another question although I am
not yankee): What is the best breed of
COWS? There is a difference between all
pure breeds, whether it be in hogs, horses
or cows. but the best one of these breeds
certainly depends on the surroundings and
the object in view.
Black hogs in the south are safest from
sun scald and mango. Pure bred red hogs
are so hard to buy true to name that l will
not advise their purchase. Thus far 1
have seen only4a few good red hogs in the
south among a large number. Usually
they are too coarse to feed well.
The Berkshires, the Poland China and
the Essex are the most reliable breeds
for southern use. From observations and
expeience, l would not purchase the Berk-
shire for a slop-pen feeder, nor the Poland
China for a mast range hog, nor the Es-
sex for packing purposes. To follow cat
tie and sell well as a packer we can en-
trust the Polands. The Berkshire is us
ually wider rustler, somewhat smaller
in size.
The Essex are probably better condi-
toned than the other black breeds, and
are excellent slop-pen feeders. | have new
must be borne in mind that in each of
these three breeds we frequently find
single dllIHdlS AOI a uDZeH). lndl possess
one of the most clearly marked feat
ures of the other breed. In a similar way
we occasionally find individuals among all
pure breeds that are no better than scrub
stock. For the very hardest conditions
little feed and no shelter can recommend
the registered razor back as most likely
to thrive. But for intelligent farming the
pure breeds and grades yield many times
more profit. l have found only two classes
of farmers in the south who claim that
hog raising doE't pay" One is the man
NJ trio n xfrfth anrV oil
twelve months in the year; the other is
the one who don't want fine hog who
must be fed all the time" These two men
are usually found combined in one.
The difference in color of these three
breeds amounts to only a fancy point
they all wear well. 1t IS claimed by some
that the Essex breed grow too fat and do
not make as large a hog at nine months
as the larger breeds. We would naturally.
sized hog in breed based on the old
Neapolitans.
No doubt but that Poland and Berk-
shires owe much of their good condi-
ton" qualities TO the early sprinkle of
Essex blood. / have raised all of these
three breeds, and of the two larger ones
have had pigs at 1lS daygs weigh l7S
pounds gross under good feed. But we
sometimes fail to appreciate that the
itabe-the hogs shown at fairs often IL
lustrate this fact. This is just as true
as that the largest yield of corn, cotton
or wheat per acre, Is not necessarily the
best for the producer. That hog is best

Piney WOODS Fnrming i'm the soutl..


About eight years ago I came to Wash
ington county, Florida, for my health,
and after living here year 1 found my
health so much improved that l conclu-
ded to remain and develop farm in the
''piny woods" says a northern man,
writing in American Agriculturist. The
results are that 1 have now 10 acres
cleared and under cultivation, with plen-
ty of fruit coming on, such as pears,
peaches, grapes and pecans. that are
in and coming into bearing.
Believing IN thorough cultivation and
diversified farming, l have removed the
stumps at comparatively small expense,
by digging and burning them at odd
times, which enables me to use improved
implements. / plow the land deep IN the
winter season, with heavy tWo-horse
plOws, turning under corn and cotton
stalks, also the grasses of various kinds
that thickly cover the ground after Gull
tivatiOn of the crops ceases, which find
improves the land wonderfully if plowed
up from year to year; so much so that
land at first producing only five bushels
of corn VIII make thirty bushels per
acre. l use good heavy horses and mules,
that are able to do the work thoroughly,
and also able to do as much as the man
that follows them. L aim to run the
pillow a little deeper every year, and use
some commercial fertilizer and all the
barn and stable manure l can make, and
all l can buy within reach Having all
the blowing done by Feb. ! is one of the
secrets of successful farming in the
south. 1t not only gives ample time to
plant but all the heaviest work is done
while the weather is cool, and gives en-
ployment to men and teams the year
round; also enables one to do more work
with less stock. and have plenty of time
to do the work well. Deep blowing IL
winter, and shallow and frequent culti-
walton in summer will insure success.
BY following this plan have raised the
past year 200 bushels of corn, 6 cars of
melons, 800 bushels of rice, 600 bushels of
sweet potatoes, p barrels of syrup, 1000
gallons of wine, bales of cotton, 20
tons of hay and forage, $50 bushels of
pears acres of oats, $500 pounds of
pork, with plenty of field peas to feed to
mich cows and hogs. Have fattened hogs
mostly on Gull melons. peas and sweet po-
tatoes. with very little corn. Have plen-
ty of milk and butter the year round for
family use, and as good a garden as one
would wish to see. Have all the canned
pears, grapes, blueberries, peaches. okra
and tomatoes, that are necessary to furn-
ish the table the year round. The next
season, as my trees and vines come into
bearing, / expect to have thousands of
bushels of fruit to dispose of. With pleas
ing prospect for the future, and with the
good health and appetites 1 and my fam
lily enjoy, | am satisfied with my expert
ence in diversified farming a. the south.

Improving a Pasture.

nave fifteen acres, part Woodlano, mat

As far as it goes stable manure is as
good fertilizer as you could get to APP
ply to the Bermuda and Lespediza. You
VIII have to use some commercial fertiii-
ger, however. as you are not likely to
nave much stable manure. If you will buy
zO pounds of ground raw bone and fifty
pounds of nitrate of soda for each acre,
apd apply the bone this winter and the NJ
trate of soda in the spring, as soon as
growth begins, you will soon have a pas
lure worth something. Scarify the whole
Hiteen acres by the close of the month,
and SOW a mixture of crimson clover,
eight pounds, red clover five pounds, white
clover two pounds, red top five pounds,
orchard grass five pounds, lucerne i've

sEsh treat seven acres, or five, or three,
