A Valuable Bulletin.

The experiment station has sent
out many important and valuable bull
letins but none of these excel in
those particulars the one just issued.
1t deals with poultry raising and only
"a glance at its pages is required to
show that the information contained
In it relative to poultry is greater
than that In many books which sell
for good round price. The effort
was made to make the book as prac-
ticable as possible, everything was
subordinated to that. This makes
the book extremely desirable to all
families or Others who may be 10 the
poultry business. The station Is en-
gagged in extensive poultry inyestlgas
ton, probably more extensively than
any other station in the country.
Anyone who may desire this bulletin
may receive it free of charge by adj
dressing the director, DR.. John A.
Myers, and we should urge all of our
readers who may be interested to take
advantage of this opportunity. Ask
for the bulletin on chickens.

following Is say about two OF our

1t is the fondest dream of all the
farmer boys in Monongalia and adj
joining counties in this state to get
positions Oh the State University

When the next map of West Virgin
la is prepared, 1t should show, in
addition to the coal deposits and the
oil sections, the base ball belt. which
includes several counties In this
State, and continues up into Penn
sylvania. embracing Uniontown and
surrounding county. That section
has produced some cfack players,
and the University team is a train
ing school for many of them. "Jakie'
Hewitt is product of the belt, and
Smith" Whaley is another. Hick-
man, who is having all kinds of fun
at the expense of Interstate batters
this season, got the fever while be
hind pillow and finally got place
ON the W. V. U. team. Hickman
didn't know just what position he
was cut out for, but something in
his internal mechanism kept up a
continual buzzing and he couldn't
rid himself of the notion that he
was ball player. He didn't sign
with New Castle as twirler, but
his muscle was hardened by telling
timber In the fall, and after he dis
covered himself, he put in his spare
time practicing curves and fast and
slow ones. He put in the winter at
the barn down ON the farm, and
with the aid of a Hand Book on
Pitching, he developed himself.
Hickman is the real thing now.
He has speed to auction, several va
rieties of twists, and and an out
shoot that would capture the first
prize anywhere.
