The West Virginia Pardon Board
which was in session at Moundsville
several days this week, adjourned for
the time being yesterday afternoon. II
will Likely meet again about the 10th
OF September. The Board has been in
session off and on since the first Tues
day in July, the adjourned meetings be-
ing merely -continuanees of the regular
ones. 1t has passed or a larg e number
OF applications for executive clemency
and has made numerous recommended
tons. 1t still has fifteen or twenty
cases before it, some of which are very
difficult and important. The Board
expects to act upon all the cases before
it at the next adjourned session. Its
next regular session is the first Tuesday
in October and whether it acts upon all
the cases before it or not, it will, of
course, be compelled to adjourn until
the regular meeting.
The Board passed upon a number of
cases yesterday. 1t only united in one
recommendation for pardon. This was
on the application of Chas. Williams,
who was convicted in the Criminal
Court of Kanawha county, of burglary
and sentenced on July 80, 1898, to five
years confinement in the penitentiary.
He was only fifteen years of age at the
time of his conviction. The Board re-
commended his pardon solely on the
grounds that he is in the last stages of
consumption and certain to die in a
short time.
In the case of Isaiah Nixon, who was
convicted Of house breaking in the
Criminal Court of Wood county, and
sentenced to the penitentiary for a
term of years, the Board refused to
recommend the pardon, on account of
the scarcity of reasons shown for ia
vorable action, on the part of Nixon.
Lewis Murphy made his second arpli-
cation to the Board for favorable rec
ommendation. At a former session,
MI. recommended MS puftcu
and Mr.. Morris recommended against
it. The Board is still divided, one
member recommending pardon as be-
fore, and the other, refusing. Murphy
was convicted of grand larceny in the
Criminal Court of Kanawha county,
and sentenced April II, 1900, to two
years Imprisonment.
The Board passed on a case of local
note. 1t was that of Edward Zane,
who was convicted of grand larceny in
the Circuit Court of Tyler county, and
on the 9th day of December, 1890, was
sentenced to eight years confinement
in the p~enitentiary. Zane is a Wheel
ing boy, a member of a prominent
family in this city. Zane's pardon was
Recommended by Judge Freer, before
whom he was tried, and a number of
the leading citizens and officers of Ohio
county. His pardon was recommended
by Mir. Brannon, the other member Of
the Board made no recommendation.

KEEPING CELLARS DRY.
An Excellent and Easily Applied Ar
rangement to Prevent All Dam
ger from Flooding.

In draining the cellar of dwelling
house, barn or other farm building in
low places, some means will often need
to be made use of to prevent flooding.
An excellent arrangement for this pur
pose, which is adapted to either tile
drain or ordinary stone ditch, is shown
in the sectional illustration. Make a
wooden box (a) of about same dimen-
sions as drain or tile, and two or three
feet in length. Saw off one end so as
to leave it somewhat beveled. Take a
piece of not too stiff leather and cut
square so as to be just little smaller
than outside of box on beveled end.
Nail this on a square piece of board (c),
just enough smaller than leather, to
leave one inch of the leather project
ing on all four sides. Tack one of the
projecting edges to the top, or short
est bevel, side of box, making the COM
pleted valve and valve seat. Over the
beveled end of the box having attached
to it the valve, slip another box (b),
large enough for the purpose, and
about one foot long, TO protect the
working parts of the device.
Dig down at the point it is to be
placed in drain, and removing enough
tile, if they are used, for the purpose,

DEPENDS ON THE MAN.
Nothing Enables n Dairy Farmer to
Create a Private Butter Market
But Attention to Details,

The farmer who wishes to make
butter at home must pick up a route
and retail his own butter, as he will
find that the stores don't want it and
won't handle it. They can get cream
cry butter that is reasonably uni
form, and will give them less trouble
than trying to handle butter made by
Tom, Dick and Harry. Even the care
full private dairyman is at disad-
vantage unless he has regular private
customers. To-day one farmer told
us: II am using a separator and take
great care to have everything neat
and clean, and do make first-class
butter, but l can't sell it at any of the
stores. The creamery near US only
averages 16 cents per pound for but
ter fat, and we can't make anything
at that price, but their butter always
sells and ours won't. We dropped out
because we got discouraged trying to
give them clean good cream, while
there were lots of patrons who took
no care of their milk and were very
dirty" This man acted discouraged
anu "dhICu " SCil SOliIC VI Ills COWS.
His only hope is to work up private
trade. One man from a neighboring
town recently brought in lot of
his own butter, and canvassed the
stores, but couldn't sell pound, or
hardly get an offer. He was discour-
aged, but he has reputation for not
being neat. A near neighbor of the
latter brings in weekly what 80 good
cows make, and has a steady trade at
25 cents in summer and 80 cents in
winter. He also sells chickens, eggs,
apples and beef. He makes good but.

high water backing up will close the
valve and be prevented from entering
the cellar. AS soon as the outside wa
ter subsidies, the valve will open and
allow water in cellar to escape. If the
valve is applied in box just right, it
will work perfectly.
If it is desired to have trap arranged
so that access may be had to the valve
at any time for removal of rubbish,
etc, make it as described in every re-
spect, but with the larger horizontal
box on outside of valve seat. Instead
of horizontal box, make a vertical

FRUIT TREE BORERS.
Valuable suggestions Condensed
from N Bulletin of the Oklahoma
Experiment Station.

Many orchards suffered heavy and
unnecessary loss during the last sum.
mer from the attacks of borers. Most
farmers do not notice that there is
anything wrong with the trees until
the leaves turn yellow and begin to
fall in midsummer. After this stage
has been reached there is little hope
for the tree, and it dies before frost
A glance at the tree will be sufficient
to see that the bark on the trunk is
dead and black in irregular spots and
lines. Just beneath the dead bark is
the borers burrow filled with worm
dust. If large spot of bark is killed,
the bark and wood begin to rot, and
are soon filled with a mushroom
growth which develops the fruitine
portion on the outside of the trunk and
resembles that which is seen on rot.
ten logs. The rot may hasten the
death of the tree, but a tree that is
sound and free from blemish is very
seldom if ever attacked by this rot
The best thing to do is to keep the tree
free from borers and other injuries
The land should be kept free from
grass and weeds and well cultivated
Good, clean cultivation is worth more
than all the washes and dressings that
can be applied to prevent borers. a
good wash, however, is often worth
many times what it costs to apply anG
will do much toward preventing the
attacks of borers and other insects
A one-pound can of concentrated I've
dissolved in two or three gallons OF
water makes a very good tree wash
Another good wash can be made OF
one-half pint pine tar, one-half pint
carbolic acid, and two gallons soft
soap. These washes can easily be ap
piled with an old whitewash brush or a
swab made of old rags tied on the end
of stick. The wash should be ap
piled two or three times to the trunk
and large limbs during the spring and
early summer.
