Feeding Six Thousand Hens.

The s0O0 hens on MT. Puryine's great egg farm are mostly white Leghorns and are fed only once a day, with the addition of lunch of green feed at night: the attendant starts with a team hitched to fruit truck loaded with four barrels of water. five sacks of wheat and a mash composed of three sacks of coarse middlings and forty pounds of either cut green bone or ground fresh meat. which is mixed with skim milk that has been allowed to sour. IL takes from a. m. until II o'clock to complete the feeding and watering; the mash is fed in troughs and the wheat is scattered on the ground and a sufficient quantity put out to last for twenty-four hours.

Point Pleasantonians need have
no uneasiness, in regard to the
future of Point Pleasant, even if
the K. & Al. Division is moved
away from here. 1t is great
river, railroad and trade center,
and it will continue, no matter
what comes or goes. Point Pleas
ant is all right, as shipping point,
as we'll as a point of cheap material
and cheap fuel, and manufacturers
will soon learn that Point Pleasant
is the town to locate in. Have
faith in your town and strangers
seeing that you believe in it, will
also believe and come in and cast
their lot and fortune with US. This
town was mover more prosperous
than now, and never was there a
greater demand for houses and
never was the supply less adequate
to meet that demand than now

West Virginia is at present a
veritable paradise for railroad pro-
1eotors. 1t is now said that Sena-
tor Elkins has purchased the Lit
tie Kanawha Railroad and will
soon make it part of the West
Virginia Central system. They
will be connected and then made
part of the Gould system, and OPP
Grated in opposition TO the other
east and west lines in the state
which have all been consolidated.
This is conjeotured at least. Any
way West Virginia promises to be
the scene of great railroad activity

State entomologists are already
admonishing farmers TO prepare Tor
the coming, next year, of the seven
teen. year locust. The directions,
if followed, may keep the ravages
of the pest down to the minimum.
To avoid injury, growers are adj
vised not to set out young orch-
ards, either this fall or in the
spring. If they do set them, they
should leave as many shoots and
branches as possible on which the
insects may lay eggs without harm
to The tree itself. The branches
may be trimmed out early in July,
when all danger is past. Fruit
and shrub trees should be trimmed
as little as possible, and it will be
better not to trim them at all. No
budding or grating should bedone
either in the fall of 1901 or next
spring, as growing buds and gratis
are especially apt TO be injured.
